County Planner: "We want to err on the side of public interest and public input in the project at this stage of the game."

Winners: the public and County Supervisor Joe Simitian (who probably gave a significant behind-the-scenes push to make this happen)

Losers: Stanford and Palo Alto Mayor Greg Scharff, who literally argued Stanford's interest for them, like the real estate attorney he is. It's pretty embarrassing when the county planner calls defying the city's mayor "erring on the side of public interest." Not that anything embarrasses Greg Scharff.
