--> 00:05:23,202 in achieving their vision for the next 50 years 84 00:05:23,202 --> 00:05:24,630 in South San Francisco. 85 00:05:24,630 --> 00:05:28,830 As you are aware the city regulate 86

00:05:42,854 The Master plan establishes an overall development envelope 89 00:05:42,854 --> 00:05:46,248 providing flexibility and a mix of use types 90 00:05:46,248 --> 00:05:51,127 to be built over time if they implement transportation 91 00:05:51,127 --> 00:05:52,710 management throughout the campus area. 92 00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:55,347 One of the primary goals of the 2020 Master Plan 93 00:05:55,347 --> 00:05:58,540 is to create a strong campus centered environment 94 00:05:58,540 --> 00:06:04,540 with the upper campus as the heart of the campus. 95 00:06:05,940 --> 00:06:07,860 Staff and their project team will 96 00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:08,794 go into more detail on the overall vision 97 00:06:08,794 --> 00:06:11,654 and implementation for the changes to the upper campus 98 00:06:11,654 --> 00:06:15,749 but at a high level overview Genentech 99 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:17,654 has identified a redevelopment program 100 00:06:17,654 --> 00:06:20,174 that consists of six separate but interrelated 101 00:06:20,174 --> 00:06:21,254 campus developments. 102 00:06:21,254 --> 00:06:25,254 Each of those is identified on the slide. 103 00:06:25,254 --> 00:06:28,254 This evening the Planning Commission 104 00:06:29,140 --> 00:06:32,574 is only considering entitlements for the first and largest 105 00:06:32,574 --> 00:06:35,169 portion of the phase one redevelopment projects. 106 00:06:35,169 --> 00:06:38,769 The research and Early Development Center . 107 00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:43,444 Each of the other five development projects 108 00:06:43,444 --> 00:06:45,430 will come back before the Planning Commission 109 00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:52,630 for a use permit and approval at some point in the future. 110 00:06:55,454 --> 00:06:59,974 The project would consist of six new rectangular shaped R&D 111 00:06:59,974 --> 00:07:03,706 buildings with approximately one point 3,000,000 square foot 112 00:07:03,706 --> 00:07:05,706 of total area . 113 00:07:10,461 --> 00:07:12,860 These are larger buildings that take up 114 00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:16,694 the majority of the right hand portion of the site. 115 00:07:16,694 --> 00:07:20,144 To the left or west is a regional utility plant 116 00:07:20,144 --> 00:07:24,534 and electrical distribution hub that would serve the center 117 00:07:24,534 --> 00:07:27,374 project and most of the rest of the phase one redevelopment 118 00:07:27,374 --> 00:07:28,540 projects. 119 00:07:28,540 --> 00:07:31,494 As I show this overview rendering 120 00:07:31,494 --> 00:07:34,369 I'm going to pause the staff

00:07:42,994 layout and other important details. 124 00:07:42,994 --> 00:07:45,142 After the applicant's presentation 125 00:07:45,142 --> 00:07:48,140 I will come back and talk the Commission 126 00:07:48,140 --> 00:07:49,454 through the requested entitlements 127 00:07:49,454 --> 00:07:54,400 and with that introduction I will hand off the presentation 128 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,400 to Sophie Martin. 129 00:08:08,301 --> 00:08:10,634 >> Thank you very much and good evening chair vice chair 130 00:08:10,634 --> 00:08:12,200 and commissioners. 131 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,974 I lead site planning for the campus of South San Francisco. 132 00:08:16,974 --> 00:08:20,864 I am joined this evening with Foster and Partners 133 00:08:20,864 --> 00:08:25,222 our architect and Kelly Johnson with the design studio 134 00:08:25,222 --> 00:08:27,222 our landscape architect. 135 00:08:27,427 --> 00:08:30,470 I'll begin by talking through a little bit about how 136 00:08:30,470 --> 00:08:34,600 this project fits into our overall vision for the campus 137 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,374 and then hand it to Ben to walk through the architecture. 138 00:08:38,374 --> 00:08:44,460 We are celebrating 50 years here and very proud of that fact. 139 00:08:44,460 --> 00:08:47,994 They have grown together over the last five decades and we are 140 00:08:47,994 --> 00:08:50,740 very excited to bring this project to you this evening 141 00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:56,564 as it represents the next major step in our ability to continue 142 00:08:56,564 --> 00:09:00,742 that legacy of innovation and service of patients for decades 143 00:09:00,742 --> 00:09:03,142 to come anchored here . 144 00:09:05,827 --> 00:09:11,240 As Billy mentioned today you can see our existing campus occupies 145 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,840 four point 8,000,000ft² on approximately 225 acres 146 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,840 on the far eastern end of Oyster Point. 147 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,400 All told the campus comprises about 58 buildings 148 00:09:25,158 --> 00:09:28,758 and an overall FAR of just 0.5. 149 00:09:33,494 --> 00:09:36,594 In the future our proposed campus 150 00:09:36,594 --> 00:09:38,334 will include a portfolio of buildings 151 00:09:38,334 --> 00:09:43,150 that Billy mentioned that come together and work together 152 00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:46,142 to address our fundamental business needs to enhance 153 00:09:46,142 --> 00:09:49,334 our employee experience and to provide 154 00:09:49,334 --> 00:09:53,534 the necessary infrastructure all of these projects 155 00:09:54,166 --> 00:09:56,240 together which I'll highlight in a moment 156 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,640 will comprise development on our site represents over half 157 00:10:03,510 --> 00:10:05,910 of that new development. 158 00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:11,554 I also want to emphasize this redevelopment of our site is 159 00:10:11,554 --> 00:10:15,278 fully consistent with the master plan adopted in 2020 with 160 00:10:15,278 --> 00:10:19,334 the goals of that creating a denser more pedestrian oriented 161 00:10:19,334 --> 00:10:22,838 environment as Billy mentioned is also consistent with 162 00:10:22,838 --> 00:10:25,238 the city's General plan . 163 00:10:27,191 --> 00:10:29,774 This map highlights all of the projects that together comprise 164 00:10:29,774 --> 00:10:32,326 what we refer to as phase one. 165 00:10:32,326 --> 00:10:36,198 It's the largest and the first in line. 166 00:10:36,198 --> 00:10:38,814 It's the biggest and most complex. 167 00:10:38,814 --> 00:10:40,240 It will take the longest to build 168 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,894 which is why it is coming before you here first. 169 00:10:44,894 --> 00:10:48,440 From the sequa standpoint all of these projects 170 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,942 are disclosed and analyzed together 171 00:10:49,942 --> 00:10:54,294 because we expect to be constructing and delivering 172 00:10:54,294 --> 00:10:57,878 them and operating them more or less simultaneously. 173 00:10:57,878 --> 00:11:00,430 We are still working through the exact phasing plan 174 00:11:00,430 --> 00:11:03,374 of these projects but we thought it 175 00:11:03,374 --> 00:11:06,254 was prudent and appropriate to consider 176 00:11:06,254 --> 00:11:09,834 their effects cumulatively which is why they are all 177 00:11:09,834 --> 00:11:11,834 shown together. 178 00:11:12,894 --> 00:11:17,194 But tonight we are really going to focus 179 00:11:17,194 --> 00:11:20,230 on the center specifically as well as the modifications 180 00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:22,540 to the existing parking structure 181 00:11:22,540 --> 00:11:24,611 that lies just to the south which we will refer to 182 00:11:24,611 --> 00:11:26,174 as parking structure a. 183 00:11:26,174 --> 00:11:29,947 There will be some modifications to that structure that link it 184 00:11:29,947 --> 00:11:34,733 to the center and help provide a connection across our very 185 00:11:34,733 --> 00:11:37,198 hilly campus for the teams that work 186 00:11:37,198 --> 00:11:41,347 in the southern Subcampus who collaborate with those who 187 00:11:41,347 --> 00:11:43,814 will be located in the center. 188 00:11:43,814 --> 00:11:47,334 The other projects will come forward 189 00:11:47,334 --> 00:11:49,174 over the course of the next several years 190 00:11:49,174 --> 00:11:53,206 as I said still working through that exact phasing process 191 00:11:53,206 --> 00:11:57,446 but you will get a glimpse of some of them this evening. 192 00:11:57,446 --> 00:12:00,724 Finally we are also proposing a tentative map that 193 00:12:00,724 --> 00:12:03,539 will consolidate parcels on our upper campus enabling 194 00:12:03,539 --> 00:12:06,760 the placement of all of these new buildings 195 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,540 as well as the rerouting of the utilities 196 00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:11,824 that is necessary to serve them accordingly. 197 00:12:11,824 --> 00:12:20,224 So with that I will hand it over to walk through the G center. 198 00:12:23,205 --> 00:12:24,380 >> Thank you Sophie. 199 00:12:24,380 --> 00:12:24,702 Good evening. 200 00:12:24,702 --> 00:12:27,130 So perhaps to reiterate the point 201 00:12:27,130 --> 00:12:29,505 that's just being made before the area which we are going 202 00:12:29,505 --> 00:12:31,654 to be looking at the area highlighted 203 00:12:31,654 --> 00:12:35,487 within that green boundary with a larger hatched area referring 204 00:12:35,487 --> 00:12:38,734 to the rest of phase one to cover subsequent applications 205 00:12:38,734 --> 00:12:43,712 so you can see those structures plus the parking structure 206 00:12:43,712 --> 00:12:49,140 and here you can actually see a more rendered site plan which 207 00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:51,580 shows everything in context of the master 208 00:12:51,580 --> 00:12:55,254 plan of the rest of phase one. 209 00:12:55,254 --> 00:12:58,600 Highlighting that to the west which 210 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,270 is enabling an all electric campus 211 00:13:00,270 --> 00:13:03,418 and removal of fossil fuels as part of the project 212 00:13:03,418 --> 00:13:07,618 and then these signs and lab buildings. 213 00:13:08,614 --> 00:13:15,214 Access to the site will remain via DNA way, primary vehicle 214 00:13:15,214 --> 00:13:19,340 access and also on East Grand Avenue 215 00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:22,440 will provide continuing access to the parking structure 216 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,974 from the South campus there and then 217 00:13:24,974 --> 00:13:27,598 there's a number of fire and service roads 218 00:13:27,598 --> 00:13:31,994 which are highlighted in orange which circulate around the phase 219 00:13:31,994 --> 00:13:35,174 one buildings providing servicing and ability 220 00:13:35,174 --> 00:13:38,624 to maintain safe operations for the buildings themselves. 221 00:13:38,624 --> 00:13:44,206 The campus plaza in the center is a pedestrian core. 222 00:13:44,206 --> 00:13:50,806 The idea behind the campus master plan and our vision plan 223 00:13:50,806 --> 00:13:53,274 is really thinking about what is the future? 224 00:13:53,274 --> 00:13:55,834 The future is how do we transform these buildings which 225 00:13:55,834 --> 00:13:59,747 are aging out and how do we serve the needs of science 226 00:13:59,747 --> 00:14:00,847 in the future? 227 00:14:00,847 --> 00:14:03,446 There are a number of processes drawn out 228 00:14:03,446 --> 00:14:06,950 across a very difficult terrain which is also compounded 229 00:14:06,950 --> 00:14:09,774 by quite difficult weather as we have this evening as 230 00:14:09,774 --> 00:14:12,310 well so the big idea is bringing everyone together 231 00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:16,940 closer on the upper campus on the upper terrain 232 00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:17,504 and bringing groups of scientists 233 00:14:17,504 --> 00:14:20,702 together to work better and collaborate. 234 00:14:20,702 --> 00:14:25,694 On the core of that is creating a flexible planning building 235 00:14:25,694 --> 00:14:31,800 block which is universal and flexible and will stand the test 236 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,574 of time and by combining these together to create these 237 00:14:34,574 --> 00:14:37,798 collaborative clusters we create a diagram which overcomes 238 00:14:37,798 --> 00:14:41,989 the scale of what would be a very large building at one point 239 00:14:41,989 --> 00:14:44,958 2,000,000ft² if it was just one singular building it would be 240 00:14:44,958 --> 00:14:45,654 massive. 241 00:14:45,654 --> 00:14:47,960 This actually brings the scale down and embeds it 242 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,760 into the landscape opens up views landscape daylight 243 00:14:53,404 --> 00:14:55,918 and access at different points. 244 00:14:55,918 --> 00:14:59,494 And gives it something more of a terrain of a campus 245 00:14:59,494 --> 00:15:02,154 feel than a consolidated building. 246 00:15:02,154 --> 00:15:07,374 So the building itself consists of largely a combination 247 00:15:07,374 --> 00:15:12,174 of workplace and lab space and collaboration space 248 00:15:12,254 --> 00:15:18,402 between those which rises up from a service level at level 249 00:15:18,402 --> 00:15:24,500 one through two lab and workplace all the way up 250 00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:28,118 and then there is mechanical spaces on the service level 251 00:15:28,118 --> 00:15:30,974 and at the rooftops as well. 252 00:15:30,974 --> 00:15:33,810 The expression of the building is really 253 00:15:33,810 --> 00:15:36,434 something we spent a long time to think about what 254 00:15:36,434 --> 00:15:40,649 is the integrity of the site and the integrity of expression 255 00:15:40,649 --> 00:15:45,350 here is really based around scale, the human scale, 256 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:48,694 the scale of the structure and expression of a concrete frame 257 00:15:48,694 --> 00:15:51,540 and the expression of passive shading elements 258 00:15:51,540 --> 00:15:56,654 to reduce the solar gain on the facade to reduce the overheating 259 00:15:56,654 --> 00:15:59,804 and create an incredibly high performing facade 260 00:15:59,804 --> 00:16:03,764 which maximizes the views and daylight of this location. 261 00:16:03,764 --> 00:16:06,806 And material terms we are looking 262 00:16:06,806 --> 00:16:11,414 at a combination of concrete and light tones 263 00:16:11,414 --> 00:16:16,654 a spandrel which is the balustrade of the floorplate 264 00:16:16,654 --> 00:16:19,474 and perhaps a rippled glass which picks up 265 00:16:19,474 --> 00:16:21,974 the light of the site vision glass 266 00:16:21,974 --> 00:16:24,680 and then aluminum panels for the shading. 267 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,582 And you can see here the building 268 00:16:27,582 --> 00:16:29,517 uses the terrain of the site to modulate 269 00:16:29,517 --> 00:16:34,830 the scale so as this terrain is sloping in different directions 270 00:16:34,830 --> 00:16:37,494 across the site at some point we are digging in 271 00:16:37,494 --> 00:16:40,327 and we are concealing the scale of the building 272 00:16:40,327 --> 00:16:43,911 so it can appear as a four story building or at other points 273 00:16:43,911 --> 00:16:45,994 appears as a five story building so we are playing 274 00:16:45,994 --> 00:16:49,654 with that scale and here for instance in the east west 275 00:16:49,654 --> 00:16:51,567 section you can see how we are using 276 00:16:51,567 --> 00:16:57,238 that to reduce the scale by bringing that down and sinking 277 00:16:57,238 --> 00:16:59,954 the loading dock out of public line of sight 278 00:16:59,954 --> 00:17:02,354 to enhance the environment. 279 00:17:03,894 --> 00:17:07,598 Here you can see through these cross sections 280 00:17:07,598 --> 00:17:10,662 the red line representing the existing topography and how 281 00:17:10,662 --> 00:17:12,534 we are working with that topography 282 00:17:12,534 --> 00:17:15,184 and sometimes digging in and sometimes filling in 283 00:17:15,184 --> 00:17:18,460 to actually conceal the mass of the building 284 00:17:18,460 --> 00:17:20,574 to bring the scale of the buildings down. 285 00:17:20,574 --> 00:17:24,770 And here you can see the overall composition of how they come 286 00:17:24,770 --> 00:17:28,134 together and their mechanical penthouses which are all 287 00:17:28,134 --> 00:17:31,450 screened on all four sides taking a lot of effort to screen 288 00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:34,994 all of the mechanical systems also on the regional utility 289 00:17:34,994 --> 00:17:37,910 plant which also consists of a thermal storage tank which is 290 00:17:37,910 --> 00:17:41,409 highly efficient and a sustainable way to store heat 291 00:17:41,409 --> 00:17:48,900 and cooling for the building so we don't need fossil fuels . 292 00:17:48,601 --> 00:17:52,134 This is a view where you see it from its full story viewpoint. 293 00:17:52,134 --> 00:17:56,781 This is from the Northwest looking towards the southeast . 294 00:17:56,781 --> 00:18:00,734 This is a view which you can see is the view looking down 295 00:18:00,734 --> 00:18:02,940 towards the bay. 296 00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:05,354 This is the central plaza between this building 297 00:18:05,354 --> 00:18:09,940 and the next part of phase one which would be a rich employee 298 00:18:09,940 --> 00:18:14,140 experience connect the buildings at different levels 299 00:18:14,342 --> 00:18:18,504 and then here very important is to create a space where 300 00:18:18,504 --> 00:18:22,682 scientists can come together and feel at one with nature 301 00:18:22,682 --> 00:18:25,712 and be stimulated by nature come and be sheltered 302 00:18:25,712 --> 00:18:27,699 from the wind which as we all know 303 00:18:27,699 --> 00:18:30,940 is very strong at different times of the day 304 00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:32,944 and this very human scale courtyard is something 305 00:18:32,944 --> 00:18:34,944 very important in. 306 00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:39,234 Lastly this is the connection back 307 00:18:39,234 --> 00:18:42,134 if you're coming from the parking structure into work 308 00:18:42,134 --> 00:18:45,889 this is your connection from the south. 309 00:18:45,889 --> 00:18:48,681 You can see the way that the blades and the materiality 310 00:18:48,681 --> 00:18:50,598 of those has the opportunity to pick up colors 311 00:18:50,598 --> 00:18:52,422 of the landscape around it. 312 00:18:52,422 --> 00:18:57,854 And then this is the view from the southwest -- 313 00:18:57,854 --> 00:18:59,854 southeast looking Northwest. 314 00:18:59,934 --> 00:19:03,726 There's a garden space with a ramp celebrating 315 00:19:03,726 --> 00:19:07,770 the ecology of the site and enriching 316 00:19:07,770 --> 00:19:09,116 the ecology of the site here. 317 00:19:09,116 --> 00:19:12,230 You can see the buildings are five stories high 318 00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:16,700 as that service level daylights get into those spaces 319 00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:18,958 so people can also work in them. 320 00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:21,489 It's very important to us. 321 00:19:21,489 --> 00:19:26,474 And lastly just to touch on the other component of this which 322 00:19:26,474 --> 00:19:31,865 is the parking structure on East Grand this is largely being kept 323 00:19:31,865 --> 00:19:37,240 as it is as intact but the key feature of the enhancement 324 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,774 is the enhancement to the vertical circulation to enhance 325 00:19:41,774 --> 00:19:46,574 connections between the South campus portion using express 326 00:19:48,514 --> 00:19:51,316 elevators to take them up to that bridge level 327 00:19:51,316 --> 00:19:55,000 so you see this kind of lantern is a signifier 328 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,474 and is representative of that vertical circulation 329 00:19:58,474 --> 00:20:02,638 with the bridge which passes over the top of the parking 330 00:20:02,638 --> 00:20:05,587 structure so that will be a new bridge which goes on there 331 00:20:05,587 --> 00:20:08,504 and allows that pedestrian access for people who are 332 00:20:08,504 --> 00:20:10,222 working in this lower campus, 333 00:20:10,222 --> 00:20:14,734 the South campus on the left hand side up to the new center 334 00:20:14,734 --> 00:20:18,614 to build greater collections and collaborations in the future. 335 00:20:18,614 --> 00:20:23,614 And lastly this is a view around that central core plaza 336 00:20:23,614 --> 00:20:28,318 a place for employees to sit at in safety unsheltered 337 00:20:28,318 --> 00:20:30,154 from the wind. 338 00:20:30,154 --> 00:20:34,354 I'll go to Kelly for the landscape. 339 00:20:35,934 --> 00:20:37,514 >> Thank you. 340 00:20:37,514 --> 00:20:40,470 Moving to the landscape of the project 341 00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:42,960 the overall landscape concept is inspired 342 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:49,220 by the geology and a native plant communities of our point 343 00:20:49,220 --> 00:20:51,220 San Bruno setting. 344 00:20:51,134 --> 00:20:54,966 The concept is adapted to each open space responding 345 00:20:54,966 --> 00:20:59,974 to the specific building context and the anticipated user 346 00:20:59,974 --> 00:21:00,684 experience. 347 00:21:00,684 --> 00:21:03,864 As this diagram denotes the landscape 348 00:21:03,864 --> 00:21:06,654 is organized into six distinct gardens 349 00:21:06,654 --> 00:21:09,654 named for their predominant landscape. 350 00:21:10,534 --> 00:21:16,334 We have the bedrock garden come on the water garden come 351 00:21:16,334 --> 00:21:19,478 with a tree garden and then the heart courtyard 352 00:21:19,478 --> 00:21:21,478 has been mentioned. 353 00:21:22,734 --> 00:21:25,734 The material and planting pallets 354 00:21:26,550 --> 00:21:30,104 drive from the site's geology and native plant communities. 355 00:21:30,104 --> 00:21:35,502 It is also informed by our prior experience of the campus. 356 00:21:35,502 --> 00:21:38,554 The species of plants selected are well 357 00:21:38,554 --> 00:21:42,534 suited for the dry windy conditions of Point San Bruno. 358 00:21:42,534 --> 00:21:46,166 The material is also used texture and color 359 00:21:46,166 --> 00:21:48,907 to further evoke the site's natural geology 360 00:21:48,907 --> 00:21:51,907 while incorporating selected salvaged materials 361 00:21:51,934 --> 00:21:54,334 from the existing campus. 362 00:21:55,494 --> 00:21:58,534 Looking at the overall landscape plan 363 00:21:58,534 --> 00:22:00,494 the surrounding landscape outside 364 00:22:00,494 --> 00:22:05,400 of the building kind of to the south west 365 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,804 is restored as naturalized grassland using native planting 366 00:22:12,307 --> 00:22:15,774 and reinforcing the site's natural character where 367 00:22:15,774 --> 00:22:18,462 the program is not needed. 368 00:22:18,462 --> 00:22:20,874 The six gardens within the building 369 00:22:20,874 --> 00:22:24,526 create distinct amenities while sharing a common language 370 00:22:24,526 --> 00:22:27,740 with the outer naturalized landscape. 371 00:22:27,740 --> 00:22:29,474 And the broader campus. 372 00:22:31,134 --> 00:22:36,104 Zooming in this plan gives us a closer view of the six landscape 373 00:22:36,104 --> 00:22:38,656 areas and the relationships to the buildings. 374 00:22:38,656 --> 00:22:43,304 As Ben denoted a lot of the circulation comes from the south 375 00:22:43,304 --> 00:22:45,294 so as people come from the garage 376 00:22:45,294 --> 00:22:50,104 we were just looking at they come through the PSA 377 00:22:50,104 --> 00:22:53,814 connector labeled seven here with trees along the side 378 00:22:53,814 --> 00:22:56,326 directly to the heart labeled number one 379 00:22:56,326 --> 00:23:00,385 and when people enter at grade there is a grand stair 380 00:23:00,385 --> 00:23:03,409 and the elevated pedestrian walk label number 381 00:23:03,409 --> 00:23:05,159 four in the diagram which further connects 382 00:23:05,159 --> 00:23:08,934 the site to the rest of campus. 383 00:23:08,934 --> 00:23:13,942 Going down to that southern area with the existing parking garage 384 00:23:13,942 --> 00:23:18,142 this area also has restored naturalized planting 385 00:23:18,294 --> 00:23:21,222 with a few additional trees that provide shade 386 00:23:21,222 --> 00:23:23,574 along the adjacent sidewalks. 387 00:23:23,574 --> 00:23:27,638 Lastly there's a small zigzagging stair in the Hillside 388 00:23:27,638 --> 00:23:31,614 which directly connects back to the elevated pedestrian walk. 389 00:23:31,614 --> 00:23:33,614 Thank you. 390 00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:52,212 >> So Genentech did provide a model as you see here. 391 00:23:52,212 --> 00:23:54,545 Of the commission would like to take a couple of minutes 392 00:23:54,545 --> 00:23:56,694 to look at that until we get into this presentation 393 00:23:56,694 --> 00:24:02,534 we can or we can wait until after my presentation. 394 00:24:02,534 --> 00:24:05,534 Whichever the commission would prefer. 395 00:24:09,414 --> 00:24:11,414 Keep going? 396 00:24:11,707 --> 00:24:13,707 Okay. 397 00:24:20,534 --> 00:24:24,134 So getting into the entitlements required 398 00:24:25,444 --> 00:24:30,844 to prove the proposed project in the master plan 399 00:24:33,310 --> 00:24:37,314 all projects that come through require conditional use 400 00:24:37,314 --> 00:24:38,686 permit design review. 401 00:24:38,686 --> 00:24:41,854 Also asking for a tentative map approval 402 00:24:41,854 --> 00:24:45,294 and also looking at sequence analysis. 403 00:24:45,294 --> 00:24:49,494 The use permit and design review entitlements 404 00:24:49,774 --> 00:24:52,294 both require that the project show consistency 405 00:24:52,294 --> 00:24:55,140 with the General Master plan and zoning 406 00:24:55,140 --> 00:24:58,574 so I'll start with the zoning consistency discussion. 407 00:24:58,574 --> 00:25:01,574 At a high level the proposed center 408 00:25:01,574 --> 00:25:04,824 is consistent with all of the development standards including 409 00:25:04,824 --> 00:25:07,224 the floor area ratio. 410 00:25:07,747 --> 00:25:12,547 Zoning ordinance section 20.260 of the Master Plan District 411 00:25:15,394 --> 00:25:19,174 includes a subsection related to Transportation System 412 00:25:19,174 --> 00:25:19,804 Management. 413 00:25:19,804 --> 00:25:24,604 This is typically specific to transportation demand management 414 00:25:25,334 --> 00:25:29,544 but I've also included the off street parking 415 00:25:29,544 --> 00:25:33,694 discussion in this section as these three relate 416 00:25:33,694 --> 00:25:35,638 with one another. 417 00:25:35,638 --> 00:25:39,214 As you're all aware it comes before the Planning Commission 418 00:25:39,214 --> 00:25:41,880 on an annual basis to discuss their compliance 419 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,140 with the transportation requirements 420 00:25:44,140 --> 00:25:46,654 and they most recently came before you 421 00:25:46,654 --> 00:25:49,294 in the spring of this year. 422 00:25:49,294 --> 00:25:54,694 That's where their October 2025 analysis found a 60% no share 423 00:25:57,654 --> 00:26:02,534 split inclusive rework options and with the trip cap 424 00:26:02,534 --> 00:26:07,334 they're about a third of what the trip 425 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,400 cap would allow on site. 426 00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:15,560 The totality of the phase one redevelopment projects 427 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,246 would decrease campus wide parking which 428 00:26:18,246 --> 00:26:21,846 is in keeping with the goals. 429 00:26:22,747 --> 00:26:26,354 The total amount of parking for the entire campus 430 00:26:26,354 --> 00:26:29,964 would be reduced to just over 6000 parking spaces. 431 00:26:29,964 --> 00:26:33,140 The proposed project is in compliance with the zoning 432 00:26:33,140 --> 00:26:35,140 ordinance requirements. 433 00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:38,814 In terms of consistency with the master plan 434 00:26:38,814 --> 00:26:42,414 these slides show how the project 435 00:26:42,744 --> 00:26:45,744 meets the four main objectives. 436 00:26:46,237 --> 00:26:51,124 This one deals with land use objectives and urban design 437 00:26:51,124 --> 00:26:55,827 objectives and then how it is consistent with transportation 438 00:26:55,827 --> 00:26:58,827 and infrastructure and sustainability objectives. 439 00:27:01,134 --> 00:27:06,409 As part of the Genentech Master Plan Consistency discussion 440 00:27:06,409 --> 00:27:09,934 staff also wanted to highlight how vehicular access 441 00:27:09,934 --> 00:27:14,564 and circulation will be handled with the eventual closure of DNA 442 00:27:14,564 --> 00:27:16,564 way . 443 00:27:18,878 --> 00:27:22,974 In 2025 required the roadways highlighted in this image. 444 00:27:22,974 --> 00:27:26,806 Has the ability to close portions of these streets 445 00:27:26,806 --> 00:27:28,342 to through traffic. 446 00:27:28,342 --> 00:27:32,974 Of public access is maintained and if service and fire access 447 00:27:32,974 --> 00:27:36,534 is maintained throughout the campus the project 448 00:27:36,534 --> 00:27:39,958 itself includes construction on the portion that 449 00:27:39,958 --> 00:27:43,558 is colored orange in the image. 450 00:27:45,540 --> 00:27:50,134 The site circulation image shows how the proposed project 451 00:27:50,134 --> 00:27:51,534 will comply with the requirements 452 00:27:51,534 --> 00:27:53,454 of their acquisition. 453 00:27:53,454 --> 00:27:55,714 Public vehicular circulation would 454 00:27:55,714 --> 00:27:58,398 continue on all the roadways indicated in blue 455 00:27:58,398 --> 00:28:02,467 and then service and emergency vehicular access 456 00:28:02,467 --> 00:28:04,867 would be accommodated by the internal road 457 00:28:04,867 --> 00:28:07,267 network indicated in Orange. 458 00:28:07,904 --> 00:28:09,969 The project team has worked closely 459 00:28:09,969 --> 00:28:13,427 with the city including public works fire and police 460 00:28:13,427 --> 00:28:17,867 to ensure that site circulation will meet all of our emergency 461 00:28:17,867 --> 00:28:19,867 access infrastructure needs. 462 00:28:21,774 --> 00:28:25,174 The application does include a tentative map. 463 00:28:25,174 --> 00:28:27,654 The engineering division has reviewed the tentative map 464 00:28:27,654 --> 00:28:30,880 and finds that it meets all necessary municipal code 465 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,469 requirements and included relevant conditions of approval 466 00:28:33,469 --> 00:28:37,750 as part of the overall project conditions of approval. 467 00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:40,974 From a general planning consistency standpoint 468 00:28:40,974 --> 00:28:43,158 the General Plan Land use designation 469 00:28:43,158 --> 00:28:47,474 for the overall campus is business technology Park 470 00:28:47,474 --> 00:28:50,214 which allows for campus like environments 471 00:28:50,214 --> 00:28:52,774 for corporate headquarters research and development 472 00:28:52,774 --> 00:28:54,774 facilities and offices. 473 00:28:55,143 --> 00:28:57,774 The general plan also includes overarching goals 474 00:28:57,774 --> 00:29:01,978 related to South San Francisco remaining a hub of science 475 00:29:01,978 --> 00:29:05,853 development and improving the use of one on one subarea 476 00:29:05,853 --> 00:29:08,159 to improve connectivity for workforces 477 00:29:08,159 --> 00:29:11,759 and to increase alternative travel modes. 478 00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:15,627 The project is consistent with and will 479 00:29:15,627 --> 00:29:21,894 be a focal project in meeting the general long term vision. 480 00:29:21,894 --> 00:29:27,267 This slide shows the estimated development fees for the project 481 00:29:27,267 --> 00:29:29,667 which total approximately 54 million 482 00:29:30,540 --> 00:29:32,540 based on 2026 calculations. 483 00:29:33,804 --> 00:29:38,604 Actual building permit fees will be determined when 484 00:29:39,534 --> 00:29:41,934 Foundation permits are issued. 485 00:29:42,254 --> 00:29:45,254 Moving to an environmental review 486 00:29:45,846 --> 00:29:49,404 while it's the only portion of the phase one redevelopment 487 00:29:49,404 --> 00:29:51,834 projects that is before the Planning 488 00:29:51,834 --> 00:29:54,740 Commission for entitlements tonight 489 00:29:54,740 --> 00:29:56,734 the California Environmental Quality Act 490 00:29:56,734 --> 00:29:59,246 requires analysis of the whole of the action which 491 00:29:59,246 --> 00:30:02,134 means all of the individual parts of an activity. 492 00:30:02,134 --> 00:30:05,734 Based on this consistency analysis evaluated 493 00:30:07,974 --> 00:30:10,334 each of the phase one redevelopment projects 494 00:30:10,334 --> 00:30:12,814 individually and collectively under one document 495 00:30:12,814 --> 00:30:16,774 and so that includes all of the buildings 496 00:30:16,774 --> 00:30:18,758 or parts of the project that are identified 497 00:30:18,758 --> 00:30:20,854 in green on this slide. 498 00:30:20,854 --> 00:30:23,854 In 2020 the City Council certified 499 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,507 an environmental impact report or EIR 500 00:30:28,507 --> 00:30:31,507 for the Genentech Master Plan. 501 00:30:31,914 --> 00:30:35,814 The 2020 Master Plan EIR evaluated the potential impacts 502 00:30:35,814 --> 00:30:39,554 of the proposed growth and additional employees identified 503 00:30:39,554 --> 00:30:42,960 in the 2020 Master Plan for Genentech. 504 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,960 Subsequently in 2022 the City Council 505 00:30:47,574 --> 00:30:52,294 certified for the 2040 General Plan Update Zoning Code 506 00:30:52,294 --> 00:30:54,350 Amendments and Climate Action Plan. 507 00:30:54,350 --> 00:30:58,550 The General Plan EIR evaluated potential impacts 508 00:30:58,774 --> 00:31:02,860 and additional growth envisioned in the General Plan update. 509 00:31:02,860 --> 00:31:08,140 Together we refer to those two as the prior EIR. 510 00:31:08,140 --> 00:31:10,854 The guidelines allow cities to consider 511 00:31:10,854 --> 00:31:13,324 whether projects potential environmental effects 512 00:31:13,324 --> 00:31:17,354 have already been evaluated and disclosed in the prior EIR 513 00:31:17,354 --> 00:31:20,334 and whether additional environmental review is 514 00:31:20,334 --> 00:31:21,340 necessary. 515 00:31:21,340 --> 00:31:25,834 To determine this a consistency checklist and addendum 516 00:31:26,584 --> 00:31:28,584 was prepared. 517 00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:34,854 The consistency checklist assign each of the projects 518 00:31:36,140 --> 00:31:38,934 and came to the following primary conclusions. 519 00:31:38,934 --> 00:31:41,564 The phase one redevelopment projects 520 00:31:41,564 --> 00:31:43,744 do not trigger any of the conditions 521 00:31:43,744 --> 00:31:46,744 under section 15162 that would require 522 00:31:47,224 --> 00:31:50,224 a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 523 00:31:50,627 --> 00:31:56,270 The project's environmental effects fall within the scope of 524 00:31:56,694 --> 00:32:03,294 and are consistent with what was already evaluated in the prior. 525 00:32:04,214 --> 00:32:07,634 The projects match the density and land use assumptions 526 00:32:07,634 --> 00:32:11,110 in the General Plan and the Campus Master Plan 527 00:32:11,110 --> 00:32:14,214 and there are no new significant on site 528 00:32:14,214 --> 00:32:20,490 off site or cumulative impacts beyond what the prior is already 529 00:32:20,490 --> 00:32:24,690 examined and then for the new transmission 530 00:32:24,838 --> 00:32:29,400 line that will connect to the electrical substation 531 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,966 the proposed changes are minor enough that an addendum rather 532 00:32:32,966 --> 00:32:37,166 than a subsequent is appropriate under section 15164. 533 00:32:38,814 --> 00:32:42,134 Based on these findings staff concludes 534 00:32:42,134 --> 00:32:46,934 that the checklist and addendum to the prior 535 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:52,140 is the appropriate documentation for the phase one redevelopment 536 00:32:52,140 --> 00:32:54,140 project. 537 00:32:54,974 --> 00:32:59,774 So coming to the last portion the reimagining 538 00:33:00,390 --> 00:33:04,700 of the overall campus is a significant investment 539 00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:09,302 that allows them to continue as a primary hub for the industry 540 00:33:09,302 --> 00:33:11,264 within South San Francisco and furthers 541 00:33:11,264 --> 00:33:14,640 the city's goals related to connectivity, innovation, 542 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,329 and sustainability. 543 00:33:16,329 --> 00:33:20,354 So based on the findings and conditions of approval 544 00:33:20,354 --> 00:33:23,954 contained in the Associated resolutions staff 545 00:33:24,447 --> 00:33:25,864 recommends the Planning Commission 546 00:33:25,864 --> 00:33:27,692 take the following two actions. 547 00:33:27,692 --> 00:33:31,119 First that you move to adopt the resolution making 548 00:33:31,119 --> 00:33:34,962 a determination that the project is within the scope of the phase 549 00:33:34,962 --> 00:33:37,962 one redevelopment projects the checklist 550 00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:42,467 and addendum and second move to adopt the resolution approving 551 00:33:42,467 --> 00:33:46,494 the entitlements request and including the errata 552 00:33:46,494 --> 00:33:48,934 which you have a copy of in front of you 553 00:33:48,934 --> 00:33:53,134 which changes the conditions of approval specifically 554 00:33:54,814 --> 00:33:57,140 engineering condition of approval number 47 555 00:33:57,140 --> 00:33:59,774 so the last sentence reads the city will 556 00:33:59,774 --> 00:34:03,384 be responsible for implementing the construction of the city 557 00:34:03,384 --> 00:34:06,514 capital improvements of the sanitary sewer mains 558 00:34:06,514 --> 00:34:09,514 identified in condition of approval 45. 559 00:34:09,958 --> 00:34:12,358 The original conditions incorrectly 560 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,000 stated condition of approval 44. 561 00:34:16,494 --> 00:34:22,270 The last thing I will state is that the Planning Commission 562 00:34:22,270 --> 00:34:26,827 also received comment letters from the following groups 563 00:34:28,854 --> 00:34:32,587 from the San Mateo Labor Council the building 564 00:34:32,587 --> 00:34:37,800 and Construction Trades Council, Bay Area Council Congressman 565 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,680 Kevin Mullin, California life Sciences, chamber 566 00:34:40,830 --> 00:34:44,774 of San Mateo County, North coast state carpenters Union 567 00:34:44,774 --> 00:34:47,734 and the South San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. 568 00:34:47,734 --> 00:34:52,414 All of those comments in support of the proposed project. 569 00:34:52,414 --> 00:34:55,544 With that that ends the staff presentation. 570 00:34:55,544 --> 00:35:01,302 Both staff and the team are happy to answer any questions. 571 00:35:01,302 --> 00:35:06,940 I will turn it over to the commission. 572 00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:11,488 >> Do any of the commissioners want to take a moment to see -- 573 00:35:11,488 --> 00:35:14,488 or should we jump in? 574 00:35:14,593 --> 00:35:16,593 Okay. 575 00:35:17,574 --> 00:35:18,814 All right. 576 00:35:18,814 --> 00:35:23,614 Do commissioners have questions for staff or applicant? 577 00:35:26,597 --> 00:35:29,222 >> I've got two major questions the first of which can probably 578 00:35:29,222 --> 00:35:30,974 be disposed of pretty promptly. 579 00:35:30,974 --> 00:35:38,174 We did see a circulation map and the main vehicle quarters that 580 00:35:39,614 --> 00:35:42,614 were fire and service roads. 581 00:35:43,134 --> 00:35:48,860 My question is we have some five story buildings going in that 582 00:35:48,860 --> 00:35:52,694 are away from main roads and when there is an incident 583 00:35:52,694 --> 00:35:56,322 the fire department will need to bring in -- 584 00:35:56,322 --> 00:35:59,734 may need to bring in a large ladder truck. 585 00:35:59,734 --> 00:36:03,334 I was just wondering if those roads can accommodate a larger 586 00:36:03,334 --> 00:36:08,699 ladder truck and the service roads can accommodate -- >> Yes. 587 00:36:08,699 --> 00:36:14,700 I do know that the team met directly with the fire Marshal 588 00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:18,806 to discuss how all of the service roads 589 00:36:18,806 --> 00:36:21,324 would work throughout the site. 590 00:36:21,324 --> 00:36:23,834 I actually should look to see. 591 00:36:23,834 --> 00:36:25,734 The fire Marshal is not here. 592 00:36:25,734 --> 00:36:29,480 And all of the service roads are designed 593 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,454 to meet the fire department's needs for access 594 00:36:32,454 --> 00:36:34,110 to those buildings. 595 00:36:34,110 --> 00:36:38,534 If the team wants to talk any more about that but generally 596 00:36:38,534 --> 00:36:42,734 yes it would meet fire department guidelines. 597 00:36:42,774 --> 00:36:46,214 >> I just needed for the record that it was checked. 598 00:36:46,214 --> 00:36:48,744 The second is we saw some slides that outlined 599 00:36:48,744 --> 00:36:52,344 some significant leveling of the campus 600 00:36:52,804 --> 00:36:57,604 and that brings basically three interrelated questions here. 601 00:36:59,940 --> 00:37:01,994 One confirming that this amount of leveling 602 00:37:01,994 --> 00:37:04,314 does not trigger anything additionally 603 00:37:04,314 --> 00:37:07,280 environmentally in terms of similar 604 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:13,280 that's not already accounted for that we're in these resolutions. 605 00:37:16,734 --> 00:37:21,374 Two what is going to be done with the removed material 606 00:37:21,374 --> 00:37:26,774 and three as with many things in Oyster Point 607 00:37:27,894 --> 00:37:32,454 we have a history of shipyard and stockyards 608 00:37:32,454 --> 00:37:36,494 potentially you may find some older materials that 609 00:37:36,494 --> 00:37:38,246 may be contaminated. 610 00:37:38,246 --> 00:37:41,846 Are we anticipating any environmental hazards 611 00:37:41,966 --> 00:37:45,566 or concerns from the removed materials? 612 00:37:51,177 --> 00:37:53,760 >> I will start an answer and then turn it over to the project 613 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:54,260 team. 614 00:37:54,260 --> 00:37:58,262 I do know that the analysis did not 615 00:37:58,262 --> 00:38:01,262 find there was anything significant 616 00:38:01,654 --> 00:38:05,854 from the preliminary analysis that was completed. 617 00:38:06,314 --> 00:38:11,714 We do have Scott Gregory who prepared the documents 618 00:38:12,227 --> 00:38:14,894 and might be able to talk a little more about that 619 00:38:14,894 --> 00:38:20,294 and then I will pass over the material questions. 620 00:38:33,258 --> 00:38:36,258 >> I am an environmental consultant . 621 00:38:38,334 --> 00:38:40,774 To address your questions about environmental implications 622 00:38:40,774 --> 00:38:43,836 to the extent of grading on the site I do 623 00:38:43,836 --> 00:38:47,734 think that the document which is called a checklist 624 00:38:47,734 --> 00:38:51,959 and supposed to be abbreviated but it's quite a thick document 625 00:38:51,959 --> 00:38:53,542 has done a very thorough documentation 626 00:38:53,542 --> 00:38:56,230 of the extent of grading that would occur 627 00:38:56,230 --> 00:39:00,654 on the site, the geotechnical constraints in how those are 628 00:39:00,654 --> 00:39:02,678 overcome through the retaining wall systems 629 00:39:02,678 --> 00:39:05,594 and how those systems are designed 630 00:39:05,594 --> 00:39:09,254 to protect geotechnical issues landslides and slopes 631 00:39:09,254 --> 00:39:10,320 and buildings etc. 632 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,854 So I think the full extent of environmental implications 633 00:39:13,854 --> 00:39:18,654 of the hydrological geological biological to the extent 634 00:39:18,686 --> 00:39:22,454 of grading that would occur on the site was fully addressed 635 00:39:22,454 --> 00:39:24,724 and not found to be a new significant effect. 636 00:39:24,724 --> 00:39:28,390 In terms of where the soil would go 637 00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:31,454 the checklist has identified a couple of different options. 638 00:39:31,454 --> 00:39:34,449 One of those is to create a soil storage location 639 00:39:34,449 --> 00:39:38,222 within the campus where soil over time 640 00:39:38,222 --> 00:39:39,894 there's going to be a lot of movement 641 00:39:39,894 --> 00:39:43,974 and some needs to get cut and filled so one option is to store 642 00:39:43,974 --> 00:39:49,414 a component of that soil temporarily so it can be cut 643 00:39:49,414 --> 00:39:51,711 from one location and stored for a while 644 00:39:51,711 --> 00:39:55,750 and moved back to a new location as filled so that's one option. 645 00:39:55,750 --> 00:39:58,395 We also studied one option where all of that soil 646 00:39:58,395 --> 00:40:01,364 would be essentially exported from the site. 647 00:40:01,364 --> 00:40:03,340 We looked at the air quality emissions 648 00:40:03,340 --> 00:40:06,114 from the trucks that would occur from that process 649 00:40:06,114 --> 00:40:10,460 and found that would not result in new or more severe 650 00:40:10,460 --> 00:40:12,758 significant environmental air quality effects. 651 00:40:12,758 --> 00:40:17,558 And then your other concern was about -- 652 00:40:17,707 --> 00:40:22,694 >> I don't expect many -- there wasn't a lot of preindustrial 653 00:40:22,694 --> 00:40:27,620 workup but just wondering if there is any worries 654 00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:31,174 or potential concerns from prior uses in the areas that will be 655 00:40:31,174 --> 00:40:33,134 excavated. 656 00:40:33,134 --> 00:40:36,334 >> Within the location we have looked at today and within 657 00:40:36,334 --> 00:40:40,214 the adjacent properties where two of the other projects are 658 00:40:40,214 --> 00:40:43,254 located there have been detailed geotechnical and environmental 659 00:40:43,254 --> 00:40:47,994 site specific studies that have identified the soils within 660 00:40:47,994 --> 00:40:49,187 those locations. 661 00:40:49,187 --> 00:40:54,174 Didn't find necessarily remnants of historic buildings but did 662 00:40:54,174 --> 00:40:55,747 find things like serpentine soils 663 00:40:55,747 --> 00:41:02,324 so there will be a process as those cuts are taken 664 00:41:02,324 --> 00:41:04,286 to determine the capabilities of those soils 665 00:41:04,286 --> 00:41:07,747 to be reused as fill versus those soils that may need 666 00:41:07,747 --> 00:41:10,594 to be disposed of in a certain amount of that is assumed 667 00:41:10,594 --> 00:41:12,627 to need to be disposed of including 668 00:41:12,627 --> 00:41:14,627 those serpentine soils. 669 00:41:15,894 --> 00:41:17,894 >> Thank you. 670 00:41:25,371 --> 00:41:27,771 >> Any questions for commissioners? 671 00:41:29,518 --> 00:41:31,226 >> Just more of a question on population. 672 00:41:31,226 --> 00:41:34,826 I know you're demolishing existing buildings. 673 00:41:37,489 --> 00:41:41,440 Is it going to merge over to the new ones? 674 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,540 It is a beautiful facility and how much impact would that be? 675 00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:49,174 But you're tedium is very good though by the way. 676 00:41:49,174 --> 00:41:50,740 >> That's correct. 677 00:41:50,740 --> 00:41:52,147 These buildings are anticipated to be 678 00:41:52,147 --> 00:41:55,640 staffed by workers who are already present on the site. 679 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,844 This is not intended to accommodate 680 00:41:57,844 --> 00:42:00,844 some surge in employee growth. 681 00:42:00,902 --> 00:42:06,518 It is merely to relieve pressure on existing labs that many 682 00:42:06,518 --> 00:42:10,894 of which date back to the early 90s and have been retrofitted 683 00:42:10,894 --> 00:42:14,654 as many times as they possibly can but are really at the limit 684 00:42:14,654 --> 00:42:18,600 of their capacity both in terms of the number of people 685 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,000 and scientists they can support as well as the infrastructure 686 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,448 they can support to do science in the way it's done now 687 00:42:25,448 --> 00:42:30,760 so in short it is really to allow a more generous workspace 688 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,334 allocation to the existing population rather than 689 00:42:34,334 --> 00:42:36,334 to accommodate growth. 690 00:42:44,744 --> 00:42:46,702 >> Can you please educate us and the community. 691 00:42:46,702 --> 00:42:51,614 There's a lot of talk about AI taking over and replacing 692 00:42:51,614 --> 00:42:55,540 jobs in the city especially in the research. 693 00:42:55,540 --> 00:43:00,514 Can you educate us on the layout of the new buildings, 694 00:43:00,514 --> 00:43:06,940 the inside and how it's going to enhance the workforce 695 00:43:06,940 --> 00:43:10,894 and not replacing scientists and employees on campus? 696 00:43:13,334 --> 00:43:14,102 >> Absolutely. 697 00:43:14,102 --> 00:43:16,134 It's a pretty exciting application 698 00:43:16,134 --> 00:43:18,294 of artificial intelligence actually 699 00:43:18,294 --> 00:43:22,454 and it's been fascinating for me to learn how that is manifest 700 00:43:22,454 --> 00:43:25,670 in the workplace and in the design lab buildings. 701 00:43:25,670 --> 00:43:27,987 It's been an interesting exercise 702 00:43:27,987 --> 00:43:30,494 because the science and technology is changing 703 00:43:30,494 --> 00:43:35,406 so quickly that we anticipate by the time this building delivers 704 00:43:35,406 --> 00:43:39,974 in six plus years that way of working 705 00:43:39,974 --> 00:43:44,750 may have changed yet again so one of the challenges that we 706 00:43:44,750 --> 00:43:47,774 and the team have taken on is trying to design the building 707 00:43:47,774 --> 00:43:52,824 to be as flexible as possible to imagine and allow those futures 708 00:43:52,824 --> 00:43:55,754 but fundamentally the building is 709 00:43:55,754 --> 00:43:59,854 designed to accommodate those changes in two major ways. 710 00:43:59,854 --> 00:44:04,400 Number one is to allow a much greater degree of automation 711 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,934 in the labs than occurs today and this is not 712 00:44:07,934 --> 00:44:13,158 so much about taking people out of the picture it's allowing 713 00:44:13,158 --> 00:44:17,440 the building and the labs to be continually working even 714 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,630 at a time when the scientists may not even 715 00:44:19,630 --> 00:44:21,414 be there themselves. 716 00:44:21,414 --> 00:44:25,288 The scientists are there and are part of the process 717 00:44:25,288 --> 00:44:28,934 thinking of the experience designing it and working 718 00:44:28,934 --> 00:44:33,231 directly with their colleagues who may not be at a wet biology 719 00:44:33,231 --> 00:44:36,764 bench but who are at the computer screen working 720 00:44:36,764 --> 00:44:41,254 on these models helping inform what the next experiment might 721 00:44:41,254 --> 00:44:45,854 be and then designing within much more flexible and highly 722 00:44:45,854 --> 00:44:52,454 instrumented labs experiments to be able to be run for data to be 723 00:44:52,454 --> 00:44:56,427 processed for then the machine learning to help analyze 724 00:44:56,427 --> 00:45:01,487 that data and in real time be helping the scientist design 725 00:45:01,487 --> 00:45:05,542 and choose and plan out the next experiment. 726 00:45:05,542 --> 00:45:10,534 So rather than replacing people is it just functions 727 00:45:10,534 --> 00:45:14,534 as an augmented employee essentially allowing the work 728 00:45:14,534 --> 00:45:20,334 to happen much faster and in a much more flexible way so not 729 00:45:20,334 --> 00:45:23,974 only are the buildings designed to be able to accommodate that 730 00:45:23,974 --> 00:45:28,427 flexibility to allow for that change in technology that I 731 00:45:28,427 --> 00:45:32,486 think we have an idea about but continue to change in the future 732 00:45:32,486 --> 00:45:36,627 and so from an infrastructure standpoint and building layout 733 00:45:36,627 --> 00:45:40,966 standpoint much more open utilities that can be connected 734 00:45:40,966 --> 00:45:45,614 to and reconnected as labs need to change and also a much closer 735 00:45:45,614 --> 00:45:49,734 integration of the bench scientists with those who are 736 00:45:49,734 --> 00:45:53,562 working more directly on computers rather than right now 737 00:45:53,562 --> 00:45:55,270 we have those in entirely different parts 738 00:45:55,270 --> 00:45:56,654 of the campus. 739 00:45:56,654 --> 00:46:00,214 This brings those data scientists closer 740 00:46:00,214 --> 00:46:05,174 to the actual bench scientists so that collaboration happens 741 00:46:05,174 --> 00:46:08,174 more closely in real time. 742 00:46:11,512 --> 00:46:13,512 >> Thank you. 743 00:46:16,923 --> 00:46:18,923 >> Thank you. 744 00:46:19,934 --> 00:46:25,334 Can you just sort of clarify for the record 745 00:46:25,734 --> 00:46:29,647 we are doing determination for the whole of this project that 746 00:46:29,647 --> 00:46:34,920 is laid out in the model and looking at entitlements 747 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:40,270 specifically for the center but can you clarify what 748 00:46:40,270 --> 00:46:42,358 if things were to change after we 749 00:46:42,358 --> 00:46:46,558 do the determinations for the whole thing? 750 00:46:52,583 --> 00:46:57,454 >> If you adopt or approve the checklist and addendum that 751 00:46:57,454 --> 00:47:01,514 looks at the project as it's designed currently. 752 00:47:01,514 --> 00:47:07,514 If when they bring forward the Pharmatech R&D center 753 00:47:08,550 --> 00:47:12,494 or the logistics center if they make changes 754 00:47:12,494 --> 00:47:16,174 to the way those buildings are designed or the way 755 00:47:16,174 --> 00:47:21,324 they are situated then there would be another consistency 756 00:47:21,324 --> 00:47:27,620 checklist just to look do any of those changes result 757 00:47:27,620 --> 00:47:30,620 in new impacts or effects? 758 00:47:31,350 --> 00:47:35,550 So every time they bring new entitlements 759 00:47:35,764 --> 00:47:38,214 back before the Planning Commission 760 00:47:38,214 --> 00:47:40,374 we will be answering the question of 761 00:47:40,374 --> 00:47:43,734 is this in keeping with the environmental analysis we've 762 00:47:43,734 --> 00:47:47,814 already done or did we need to make some small tweaks to it? 763 00:47:47,814 --> 00:47:52,174 But we are looking at the whole of the action at the beginning 764 00:47:52,174 --> 00:47:55,774 and if there's any tweaks that are necessary as we move forward 765 00:47:55,774 --> 00:47:57,894 we would be able to do that at each 766 00:47:57,894 --> 00:48:00,894 of the subsequent entitlement hearings. 767 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,414 >> I know that folks see a lot of construction and some of it 768 00:48:05,414 --> 00:48:08,198 is moving in different paces or stalled for various reasons. 769 00:48:08,198 --> 00:48:10,339 Can you talk about what the timing 770 00:48:10,339 --> 00:48:17,754 is of this or if that would not be known why it would be known? 771 00:48:17,754 --> 00:48:23,154 >> I will pass it on to the project team. 772 00:48:25,592 --> 00:48:28,134 >> For the center specifically we anticipate the project will 773 00:48:28,134 --> 00:48:33,600 take approximately four years to construct so that will deliver 774 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,854 we hope around the end of 2032. 775 00:48:36,854 --> 00:48:40,694 The rest of the projects as I've mentioned 776 00:48:40,694 --> 00:48:43,934 that's the largest it is going to take the longest to build 777 00:48:43,934 --> 00:48:45,687 and that's why we are starting so early 778 00:48:45,687 --> 00:48:47,646 and that's why you're seeing it first. 779 00:48:47,646 --> 00:48:51,194 The other projects are smaller at least some of them 780 00:48:51,194 --> 00:48:55,886 are slightly less complex and our hope and intention is 781 00:48:55,886 --> 00:49:00,600 that the majority of them would ultimately deliver around 782 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,600 the same time. 783 00:49:03,814 --> 00:49:05,467 There may be some variation in their 784 00:49:05,467 --> 00:49:09,124 and we need to work through that internally 785 00:49:09,124 --> 00:49:12,130 but within a few years the idea would be that these all 786 00:49:12,130 --> 00:49:16,294 come together because as you can see the model and in the plans 787 00:49:16,294 --> 00:49:21,147 it is a main component of this reimagining of the site 788 00:49:21,147 --> 00:49:24,110 but it really works in concert with the other buildings 789 00:49:24,110 --> 00:49:28,938 around it so in order to really achieve the desired campus 790 00:49:28,938 --> 00:49:33,320 vision and that pedestrianized core we do need that to all 791 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,140 come together around the same time 792 00:49:35,140 --> 00:49:38,274 so the idea is that while there may be some delay 793 00:49:38,274 --> 00:49:41,910 some might move faster or some slightly slower ideally 794 00:49:41,910 --> 00:49:47,310 they will all come together more or less simultaneously. 795 00:49:52,248 --> 00:49:52,251 >> Thank you. 796 00:49:52,251 --> 00:49:53,668 There's a lot of moving parts here 797 00:49:53,668 --> 00:49:56,358 and a lot of things that are in the city's control 798 00:49:56,358 --> 00:49:59,966 and some things that are outside the city's control. 799 00:49:59,966 --> 00:50:01,926 Do you foresee any issues with some 800 00:50:01,926 --> 00:50:07,326 of those elements that involve other jurisdictions or bodies? 801 00:50:08,347 --> 00:50:10,347 >> I hope not. 802 00:50:10,511 --> 00:50:16,500 We of course will engage with other agencies as required. 803 00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:21,140 None of the projects that are part of this proposal 804 00:50:21,140 --> 00:50:24,140 encroach into the control jurisdiction. 805 00:50:24,924 --> 00:50:27,614 That is usually the one that can cause 806 00:50:27,614 --> 00:50:31,954 more unpredictability and longer delays in terms of permitting. 807 00:50:31,954 --> 00:50:34,578 Obviously everything here is high up on the hill 808 00:50:34,578 --> 00:50:36,147 so that doesn't apply. 809 00:50:36,147 --> 00:50:41,714 We are below the height restrictions by a wide margin. 810 00:50:41,714 --> 00:50:45,739 These buildings are not as tall as the tallest buildings that we 811 00:50:45,739 --> 00:50:48,369 have on the site right now on the top of the hill 812 00:50:48,369 --> 00:50:50,760 so we don't anticipate any issues there 813 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:56,140 but of course we will proceed with the part 814 00:50:56,140 --> 00:50:58,760 77 regulations as expeditiously as possible 815 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,780 and respond to any concerns they may have. 816 00:51:02,780 --> 00:51:04,814 Other than that the project will be 817 00:51:04,814 --> 00:51:08,524 subject to all of the standard mitigation measures identified. 818 00:51:08,524 --> 00:51:11,644 There are some instances in which 819 00:51:11,644 --> 00:51:14,478 engagement with other agencies might 820 00:51:14,478 --> 00:51:17,366 be appropriate for instance if we do stumble 821 00:51:17,366 --> 00:51:20,212 upon any toxic materials then we would have 822 00:51:20,212 --> 00:51:21,754 to work through those proper channels 823 00:51:21,754 --> 00:51:25,340 but we haven't identified anything else that would hold us 824 00:51:25,340 --> 00:51:27,340 up. 825 00:51:30,138 --> 00:51:32,518 >> The last thing I was curious about is what this does 826 00:51:32,518 --> 00:51:36,899 of course with closing off is it consolidates the property 827 00:51:36,899 --> 00:51:41,610 in a way that I think makes sense given the vision that is 828 00:51:41,610 --> 00:51:42,306 described here. 829 00:51:42,306 --> 00:51:44,554 Can you talk about what is the public's experience 830 00:51:44,554 --> 00:51:50,814 on the outskirts of this area like for example I'm not seeing 831 00:51:50,814 --> 00:51:54,454 walls or fences or enclosures but can you 832 00:51:54,454 --> 00:51:56,764 help me understand what the public might experience 833 00:51:56,764 --> 00:52:02,164 as they're moving around this large campus >> The public's 834 00:52:03,476 --> 00:52:04,934 experience of the campus in general 835 00:52:04,934 --> 00:52:07,166 is not likely to change all that much. 836 00:52:07,166 --> 00:52:10,134 What we are talking about with these projects here 837 00:52:10,134 --> 00:52:12,882 is restricted to the heart of the campus come 838 00:52:12,882 --> 00:52:15,120 at the top of the hill is not really 839 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,380 where we see the most public engagement with our site general 840 00:52:18,380 --> 00:52:21,526 because it is quite internal to the campus. 841 00:52:21,526 --> 00:52:24,454 The remaining portions of the campus that this project does 842 00:52:24,454 --> 00:52:27,390 not address will remain more or less unchanged 843 00:52:27,390 --> 00:52:29,940 for the foreseeable future. 844 00:52:29,940 --> 00:52:33,114 That includes all of the current access points 845 00:52:33,114 --> 00:52:36,534 to the Bay trail along our campus shoreline. 846 00:52:36,534 --> 00:52:38,150 There are four of them. 847 00:52:38,150 --> 00:52:39,974 Those will remain in place. 848 00:52:39,974 --> 00:52:45,284 Similarly as you may recall from the Purchase and sale agreement 849 00:52:45,284 --> 00:52:47,384 that we have regarding the roadways 850 00:52:47,384 --> 00:52:50,120 the portion of DNA way that extends from East Grand 851 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,740 up to the top of the hill will remain 852 00:52:52,740 --> 00:52:56,111 open to the public in perpetuity so that includes access 853 00:52:56,111 --> 00:53:01,140 to the wind harp and it will include access to the new entry 854 00:53:01,140 --> 00:53:05,940 way or arrival building that we hope to move forward 855 00:53:05,940 --> 00:53:07,238 with as part of this portfolio. 856 00:53:07,238 --> 00:53:10,554 What we are hoping there is that the public experience 857 00:53:10,554 --> 00:53:13,424 of coming to Genentech will actually be improved. 858 00:53:13,424 --> 00:53:16,884 Part of the challenge that we experience on the site right 859 00:53:16,884 --> 00:53:19,476 now is it is so big and so spread out 860 00:53:19,476 --> 00:53:22,840 that you don't actually really know when you've arrived 861 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,720 and it can be hard to understand where as a visitor 862 00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:30,274 you are expected to go and where you're welcome 863 00:53:30,274 --> 00:53:35,740 and intended so by really consolidating the arrivals 864 00:53:35,614 --> 00:53:40,174 experience and making a much more pronounced and legible 865 00:53:40,174 --> 00:53:43,907 entryway to the campus we hope that that will actually improve 866 00:53:43,907 --> 00:53:46,366 the public's experience of those who 867 00:53:46,366 --> 00:53:49,214 come on to the heart of the site and those who are enjoying 868 00:53:49,214 --> 00:53:52,514 the bayfront and the more peripheral areas that 869 00:53:52,514 --> 00:53:54,914 will be largely unchanged. 870 00:53:55,667 --> 00:53:56,619 >> Thank you. 871 00:53:56,619 --> 00:53:59,619 Any other questions for commissioners? 872 00:54:04,694 --> 00:54:08,694 Does any member of the public wish to address the Commission 873 00:54:08,694 --> 00:54:10,414 on this item at this time? 874 00:54:10,414 --> 00:54:13,654 Please fill out a speaker card and give it to the clerk. 875 00:54:13,654 --> 00:54:16,374 >> We have no members of the public wanting to provide public 876 00:54:16,374 --> 00:54:17,734 comments. 877 00:54:17,734 --> 00:54:18,834 >> Thank you. 878 00:54:18,834 --> 00:54:21,860 Then I will close the public hearing 879 00:54:21,860 --> 00:54:24,540 and turn this over to the commission for discussion. 880 00:54:24,540 --> 00:54:27,654 Would anyone like to make comment? 881 00:54:33,754 --> 00:54:35,504 >> Like you said it's a beautiful project. 882 00:54:35,504 --> 00:54:38,340 One comment I'm glad in your design 883 00:54:38,340 --> 00:54:43,467 is it took into account the four building size and one larger 884 00:54:43,467 --> 00:54:43,967 building. 885 00:54:43,967 --> 00:54:48,294 The one thing I will say on behalf 886 00:54:48,294 --> 00:54:55,770 of how the park was above I was out there working since 1980 887 00:54:55,770 --> 00:54:57,107 and seeing How it's grown and expanded 888 00:54:57,107 --> 00:54:59,707 and the whole bit due to the efforts 889 00:54:59,707 --> 00:55:02,474 being the major landowner out there you've 890 00:55:02,474 --> 00:55:06,140 always had beautiful buildings and I see no different with this 891 00:55:06,140 --> 00:55:09,446 so I think it's just adding more to the jewel that's already 892 00:55:09,446 --> 00:55:14,246 out there and you will have my support. 893 00:55:24,882 --> 00:55:27,174 >> Then I will just add I appreciate the thoughtfulness 894 00:55:27,174 --> 00:55:31,374 and the phased approach going into this. 895 00:55:32,654 --> 00:55:37,454 And in particular seeing a number of ways 896 00:55:38,134 --> 00:55:44,454 that this plan exceeds what is required for example the vision 897 00:55:44,454 --> 00:55:51,654 of going completely zero carbon I think there's a number of ways 898 00:55:51,718 --> 00:55:56,942 that this project is really looking for win win scenarios 899 00:55:56,942 --> 00:56:00,542 for the community and the environment 900 00:56:00,894 --> 00:56:04,662 and I appreciate the thoughtfulness to that. 901 00:56:04,662 --> 00:56:09,462 I also appreciate the ongoing and continued investment 902 00:56:10,774 --> 00:56:15,320 in South City and being a neighbor of South City. 903 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:21,320 With that can I get a motion for three a? 904 00:56:22,374 --> 00:56:24,225 >> I can make a motion. 905 00:56:24,225 --> 00:56:26,324 To adopt the resolution making the determination 906 00:56:26,324 --> 00:56:30,654 that the project is within the scope of phase one redevelopment 907 00:56:30,654 --> 00:56:33,540 project checklist and addendum. 908 00:56:34,454 --> 00:56:36,374 >> Second. 909 00:56:36,374 --> 00:56:38,374 >> Roll call please? 910 00:56:59,592 --> 00:57:03,192 >> Moved to adopt the entitlements requested. 911 00:57:05,724 --> 00:57:07,694 >> Can I ask with the included errata? 912 00:57:07,694 --> 00:57:09,694 >> Yes thank you. 913 00:57:09,787 --> 00:57:11,787 >> Roll call please? 914 00:57:30,573 --> 00:57:31,654 >> Item three passes. 915 00:57:31,654 --> 00:57:32,654 Congratulations. 916 00:57:32,654 --> 00:57:35,540 On to administrative business. 917 00:57:36,694 --> 00:57:39,940 Do we have anything? 918 00:57:41,574 --> 00:57:45,774 >> We do not have any administrative business. 919 00:57:46,270 --> 00:57:46,979 >> All right. 920 00:57:46,979 --> 00:57:52,334 Does any commissioner have items or announcements to make? 921 00:57:52,334 --> 00:57:55,334 Then I adjourn this meeting.
