Palo Alto Restaurant From Celeb Chef José Andrés Stalled Over the City’s Natural Gas Ban | Eater SF

"A new building proposed at Stanford Shopping Center, in the space previously occupied by Macy’s Men’s store, was part of applications submitted by Simon Property Group in November 2019 and includes a gas line installed in January 2021 that the owner says should be usable despite Palo Alto’s October 2022 natural gas restrictions; the shopping center owner has threatened to sue the city over the council’s refusal to approve that gas connection, while the council maintains the absence of a building permit for the restaurant structure means the connection should not be allowed." - Dianne de Guzman
