This redneck palm is growing out of the laths of the Botanical Building in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA. This happen a lot in this huge lath-house. Photo taken June 25, 2013.

Palmate:
No, it can't be trimmed back. It would have to be removed. Hopefully, it can be removed and maybe planted into the Palm Canyon in Balboa Park or the San Diego Zoo, which is located right in the back of the Botanical Building. There's a huge Chambeyronia macrocarpa 'Watermelon' (Watermelon Flamethrower Palm) which is to the left of this palm. It has its new frond emerging right through the laths, also.

Can they be trimmed back otherwise it will eventually get to big for the house .I'm assuming like other palms they grow from the centre?
