Stanford’s expiring General Use Plan with the county has very little authorized square footage remaining for development.
Stanford started negotiating a GUP to go through 2035 in 2016. After increasing demands from the county and the city, Stanford halted negotiations in 2019.
In the meantime, Stanford acquired an option on the purchase of the Belmont campus of NDNU by 2025.
A lot of the contention was around the amount of housing Stanford would build for workers, building a new school for Palo Alto, reducing traffic, and committing in perpetuity.the current Stanford Open Space. Stanford wanted to negotiate a development agreement in connection with its commitments to build housing.
It will probably take a change in the local political environment for Stanford to get approval for significant increases in students and staff on the main campus.
