P ii OPSPPIP AGEYSTER OINT PECIFIC LAN AND HASE ROJECT 21 IFEIR NTRODUCTION TO THE INAL PFEIR URPOSE OF THE INAL The California Environmental Quality Act and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder (together “CEQA”) require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to be prepared for any project which may have a significant impact on the environment. An EIR is an informational document, the purposes of which, according to CEQA are “to provide public agencies and the public in general with detailed information about the effect which a proposed project is likely to have on the environment; to list ways in which the significant effects of such a project might be minimized; and to indicate alternatives to such a project.” The information contained in this EIR is intended to be objective and impartial, and to enable the reader to arrive at an independent judgment regarding the significance of the impacts resulting from the proposed project. This document, together with the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) published in January 2011, shall constitute the Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as amended (commencing with Section 21000 of the California Public Resources Code) and the CEQA Guidelines for the proposed Oyster Point Specific Plan (OPSP), including the first phase of development (Phase I Project) in the City of South San Francisco, California and the related Redevelopment Plan amendment. The applicant is Oyster Point Ventures, LLC and the City of South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. The Lead Agency is the City of South San Francisco. The applicant is seeking amendments of the City’s General Plan, Redevelopment Plan and Oyster Point Marina Specific Plan, as well as several entitlements to enable development of the OPSP, including but not limited to approval of a subdivision or parcel map, design review, a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan, a Development Agreement, and a Disposition and Development Agreement to enable redevelopment of the OPSP and Phase I Project site. The OPSP would include replacing the existing light industrial/office park with an office/research and development (R&D) development, improvements to the site circulation, utilities, and landfill cap, provision of a flexible use recreation area and bay-front open space, and replacement of uses in the Oyster Point Marina area, potentially including one or two hotels with an aggregate of up to 350 rooms. Approval must be given by the City of South San Francisco and trustee agencies, including the Regional Water Quality Control Board and Bay Conservation and Development Commission before construction may begin. EIRRP EVIEW ROCESS Draft EIR A Draft EIR was made available for public review in January 2011. During the public review period for the Draft EIR (ending March 10, 2011), the City received verbal comments from the South San Francisco Planning Commission and written comments. OPSPPIP P21-1 YSTER OINT PECIFIC LAN AND HASE ROJECT AGE FEIR INAL NVIRONMENTAL MPACT EPORT Final EIR This Final EIR contains all comments received by the City on the Draft EIR and also includes responses to these comments, together with necessary changes or revisions to the text of the Draft EIR document. Changes to the text of the Draft EIR are included in Chapter 22 of this Final EIR, shown in underline for new text or strikeout for deleted text. None of the revisions or responses to comments contained in this Final EIR would be considered “significant new information” under section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines and therefore no recirculation of the Draft EIR would be required. This Final EIR will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council at public hearings to consider recommendation for and certification of this document as a technically adequate, full disclosure document consistent with the requirements of CEQA. Assuming certification of this EIR as complete and adequate under CEQA, this document together with the Draft EIR will constitute the EIR for this Project. The Planning Commission may recommend and the City Council may require additional changes or modifications to this Final EIR prior to certification. An EIR does not control the agency’s ultimate discretion on the OPSP. As required under CEQA, the agency must respond to each significant effect identified in the EIR by making findings and if necessary and warranted, by adopting a statement of overriding considerations. In accordance with California law, the EIR must be certified before any action on the project can be taken. However, EIR certification does not constitute project approval.

Where revisions to the Draft EIR are appropriate, such changes are summarized below and the actual text changes are included in Chapter 22. The City of South San Francisco received five (5) letters commenting on the Oyster Point Specific Plan and Phase I Project Draft EIR during the comment period. The comments are organized in chronological order as follows: Meeting PC: Planning Commission Meeting February 17, 2011 Letter A: John Bergener, San Francisco International Airport Letter B: Rob Wood, Native American Heritage Commission Letter C: Ming Yeung, San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) Letter D: Peter Grenell, San Mateo County Harbor District Letter E: Laura Thompson, San Francisco Bay Trail Project RSC ESPONSES TO PECIFIC OMMENTS The following pages contain comments on the Draft EIR. Each comment is numbered and responses to these comments are provided following each comment letter. In some instances, responding to a comment received on the Draft EIR resulted in a revision to the text of the Draft EIR. In other cases, the information provided in the responses is deemed adequate in itself, and modification of the Draft EIR text was not necessary. OPSPPIP P23-1 YSTER OINT PECIFIC LAN AND HASE ROJECTAGE FEIR INAL NVIRONMENTAL MPACT EPORT MEETING PC: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 17, 2011 A public hearing to collect comment on the Draft EIR was held before the South San Francisco Planning Commission on February 17, 2011. There were no comments received during the public portion of the hearing. The Commissioners made a few comments, some of which related to the specifics of the project description or broader plans for the East of 101 area. The official minutes of this meeting are not yet available, so the Planning Commission’s comments relating to the environmental analysis have been summarized below with responses following. Comment PC-1 The Commission asked how the fact that the area is low would affect the ability to provide sewer service and whether settling was an issue for sewer pipes. Response to Comment PC-1 The project proposes relocation of the existing on-site pump station #1 at 383 Oyster Point Boulevard and installation of an additional pump station in the Oyster Point Marina area, as discussed on pages 17-9 and 17-10. Additionally, Mitigation Measures Util-2a and Util-2b require upgrading of the off- site pump station #2 and sewer lines to assure adequate capacity for cumulative growth in the East of 101 Area including the OPSP. On the area that is a former landfill, the Phase I Project will involve relocating of landfill materials and reconstruction of the landfill cap. As part of that process, new utility pipes will be installed. Mitigation Measures Geo-11, Geo-12 and Geo-13 (page 9-17) address settling and other concerns regarding sustainability of utility infrastructure by encouraging location of utilities in common tranches, requiring the use of flexible pipe, and increasing gradient flow to offset differential settlements. These measures are designed to ensure that new utility lines and connections continue to function properly as further settlement occurs over time. Comment PC-2 The Commission noted that the construction period for total build-out of the OPSP would continue over a long period with some intermittent gaps in between and wanted to be sure noise and air quality/health impacts had been analyzed and minimized for the entire construction period for both the nearby tenants as well as families that may use the Bay Trail and proposed recreation facilities. He asked whether the pacing of construction activity could be evaluated to minimize these impacts. Response to Comment PC-2 The proposed construction schedule for the Phase I Project was input into air quality modeling and considered for determination of the noise impacts, as discussed in the Draft EIR on pages 6-16 through 6-21 and 14-16 through 14-19, respectively. As construction of the office/R&D project is proposed to occur in four approximately equally sized phases, it is reasonable to anticipate that impacts would be similar for each phase. Mitigation measures have been recommended that would reduce potential construction-period impacts for each construction phase including Air-4a and -4b to reduce dust, diesel particulate matter and odors (pages 6-19 and 6-20) and Noise-5 to reduce noise levels generated by construction activities (page 14-18). These would apply to Phase I construction as well as subsequent phases. These mitigation measures would ensure impacts related to construction period emissions and noise are reduced to the extent feasible. However, while potential noise impacts have been reduced to the P25-2 OPSPPIP AGE YSTER OINT PECIFIC LAN AND HASE ROJECT C23:RC HAPTER ESPONSE TO OMMENTS extent feasible, the noise from construction activities can still be intermittently disruptive. Because of the duration of the construction period for a project that would be implemented over many years, the noise impact has been determined to be significant and unavoidable. As for the pacing of construction, it is anticipated this will be informed by economic impetus as well as the realities of coordinating such large construction projects and could only be constrained to a minimal degree. It is more a qualitative question of whether slightly less noise over a longer period would be more palatable than slightly more noise over a shorter period when we are discussing a matter of many years. Successive phasing as proposed from the south to the northern part of the site will help move noise and emissions sources away from the new uses coming on-line as each phase is completed and limit impacts over time to the extent possible. There is no recommendation for modification of the construction phasing from that proposed. Comment PC-3 The Commission followed-up on the previous question relating to the low level of the area by asking whether the area would need to be re-diked and if so how that would impact the Bay Trail and liquefaction. Response to Comment PC-3 Development in the OPSP area will generally avoid development or other activities within tidal areas, marshland or in-water, with the exception of possible changes to docks in the Oyster Point Marina, which are not proposed as a part of the Phase I Project and for which there are no specific design or construction proposals. If, during the approval process for specific development projects, it is determined that activities will encroach into these areas, appropriate review and permits will be pursued. The grading plan can be found in the Draft EIR, Figure 3.5. The changes to the grading in relation to anticipated future sea level rise can be seen graphically on Figures 12.1 and 12.2 on pages 12-13 and 12-14, which demonstrate how the proposed grading will protect proposed uses including enhancements to the Bay Trail, from future sea level rise. The potential for liquefaction at the site is discussed on page 9-8, as excerpted below: “Based on the subsurface data obtained from the previous drilled borings at Oyster Point (noted above among the references reviewed), the existing landfill materials, residual soils, Bay Mud, and Franciscan Complex bedrock have a low potential for liquefaction. Therefore, damage due to liquefaction at Oyster Point is considered low. It should be noted that the landfill is contained by soil dikes along the water-side site perimeter. These perimeter dikes are reported to have been constructed of Bay Mud, which has low potential for liquefaction. Prior to new site development, geotechnical studies shall be undertaken to confirm the material types used in the construction of the perimeter dikes to verify the assumed low potential for liquefaction.” Mitigation Measure Geo-4 outlines the specifics of compliance with recommendations of a geotechnical investigation including static and seismic stability of the perimeter dikes (pages 9-11 and 9-12). OPSPPIP P23-3 YSTER OINT PECIFIC LAN AND HASE ROJECTAGE LetterA FEIR INAL NVIRONMENTAL MPACT EPORT LETTER A: JOHN BERGENER, SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT Response to Comment A-1 The current San Mateo County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan was prepared an adopted by the City/County Association of governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) in its designated role as the Airport Land Use Commission for San Mateo County, California in December 1996. The OPSP was determined in this EIR to be consistent with regulations of the Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan related to environmental issues (see hazards/height discussion on pages 11-18 and 11-19 and noise discussion on page 14-19) and as noted in this comment, the project will undergo consistency review through the San Mateo County Airport Land Use Commission. On February 24, 2011, the C/CAG Airport Land Use Committee unanimously recommended that the C/CAG Board, acting as the Airport Land Use Commission, find that the Oyster Point Specific Plan and Phase I Project is consistent with the December 1996 Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan. The C/CAG Board is scheduled to consider the matter on March 10, 2011. It is understood that the project referenced in the third paragraph was intended to be the Oyster Point Specific Plan and Phase I Project and not the Transit Corridors Plan. Note that it is anticipated the EIR for this project will be certified in March 2011, prior to adoption of a new Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan. Response to Comment A-2 As noted on pages 11-18 and 11-19 of the Draft EIR, the building heights proposed are below the permissible limits. Response to Comment A-3 As discussed on page 14-14 of the Draft EIR, the hotel will comply with the California State Building Code and the City of South San Francisco General Plan, which require interior noise levels to be maintained at or below 45 dBA CNEL. Noise modeling and comparison to the noise contour map in the South San Francisco General Plan indicate that predicted interior noise levels at the proposed hotel site would be below this level assuming standard hotel construction. See also Impact Noise-6 and the following discussion on 14-19 for additional information. No new residential uses are proposed or permitted as part of the OPSP. P23-6 OPSPPIP AGE YSTER OINT PECIFIC LAN AND HASE ROJECT LetterB C23:RC HAPTER ESPONSE TO OMMENTS LETTER B: ROB WOOD, NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE COMMISSION Response to Comment B-1 These comments outline standard practice for cultural review of a project. The recommended actions are incorporated in the Draft EIR, pages 8-1 to 8-6. The Oyster Point EIR references the Ferry Terminal study conducted in the Project area in 2005. This previous Sacred Lands File check "failed to indicate the presence of Native American resources" in the area (While also referenced in the Draft EIR, the full reference to the Ferry Terminal EIR is: San Francisco Bay Area Water Transit Authority, prepared by EIP, Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Assessment, South San Francisco Ferry Terminal Project, February 2006). Additionally, because the original shoreline in the area would have been 2000 feet west and 3000 feet south of the OPSP site (see pages 8-4 and 8-6 for additional information), there is a very low likelihood that undiscovered historical/Native American resources or remains will be encountered during construction activity. Nonetheless, the Draft EIR includes Mitigation Measures Culture-1a and Culture-1b, which require construction activity to be halted and appropriate action taken in the event any cultural resources or remains are discovered (page 8-6 of the Draft EIR). The following message has been sent to the tribal consultation list attached to the comment letter, though as discussed above, no responses are anticipated: Lamphier-Gregory has been contracted to prepare the environmental analysis for the Oyster Point Specific Plan (OPSP) in South San Francisco. The project area is situated at Oyster Point in unsectioned land, in Township 3 South, Range 5 West as depicted on the San Francisco South and Hunters Point USGS 7.5’ topographic quadrangles (attached). The OPSP would include replacing the existing light industrial/office park with an up to 2,300,000 square foot office/research and development (R&D) development, improvements to the site circulation, utilities, and the landfill cap, provision of a flexible use recreation area and bay-front open space, and replacement of uses in the City’s Oyster Point Marina area, potentially including one or two hotels with an aggregate of up to 350 rooms. A previous Sacred Lands File check did not to indicate the presence of Native American Resources and historic assessment indicates the site is on fill at least 2000 feet into the Bay from the original shoreline and therefore the site is unlikely to include Native American remains or cultural resources. We are contacting individuals identified by the Native American Heritage Commission as persons who might have information to contribute regarding potential Native American concerns in the project area. Any information or concerns that you may have regarding village sites, traditional properties or modern Native American uses in any portion of the project vicinity will be welcomed. If you know other individuals who are familiar with the vicinity, we would welcome this information as well. OPSPPIP P23-9 YSTER OINT PECIFIC LAN AND HASE ROJECTAGE MfuufsD FEIR INAL NVIRONMENTAL MPACT EPORT LETTER C: MING YEUNG, SAN FRANCISCO BAY CONSERVATION AND DEVELOP COMMISSION (BCDC) Response to Comment C-1 Development in the OPSP area will generally avoid development or other activities within the Bay or mean high tide, with the exception of possible changes to docks in the Oyster Point Marina, discussed below. If, during the approval process for specific development projects, it is determined that activities will encroach into this area or into the 100 foot shoreline band, appropriate permits will be pursued from BCDC along with any required plans. Because possible changes to two of the docks in the Oyster Point Marina were being contemplated during preparation of the Draft EIR, the potential environmental impacts associated with potential in- water construction for these docks were analyzed in the Draft EIR at a programmatic level of detail, consistent with the level of detail currently known about these contemplated changes. These potential actions are not part of the Phase I Project and there is currently no specific design or construction proposal for such docks. If changes to the docks are indeed proposed at a later date, the specifics will need to undergo appropriate review and permitting. Response to Comment C-2 The Waterfront Park Priority designation was discussed on pages 13-2 to 13-3 of the Draft EIR. The City will continue to coordinate with BCDC during the approval/permitting process to ensure consistency with exact boundaries of waterfront priority designations. Response to Comment C-3 No Bay fill is currently proposed as a part of the OPSP or Phase I Project. If, during the approval process for specific development projects, it is determined that any subsequent activity will require Bay fill, such as for changes to the docks (the specifics of which are not currently available), appropriate review and permitting will be pursued at that time. Response to Comment C-4 This is not a comment on the environmental analysis. Appropriate detail will be provided for any permitting through BCDC. Response to Comment C-5 This is not a comment on the environmental analysis. When final development plans for the future hotel development site and flexible use recreation area are planned/programmed, details of the public access through these sites will be considered, including connections to/from Marina Boulevard and the Bay Trail and/or through the Phase I Office/R&D site to Gull Drive. Response to Comment C-6 Full and detailed analysis of aesthetic impacts was included in the Draft EIR on pages 4-1 through 4- 20, including visual models from four locations. This analysis meets the requirements for CEQA review. Additional detail and discussion can be provided as required for any subsequent permitting through BCDC. With the planned roadway realignment, bayside open space, recreational area and Bay Trail improvements, the project will provide, enhance and preserve views of the Bay and shoreline. P23-16 OPSPPIP AGE YSTER OINT PECIFIC LAN AND HASE ROJECT C23:RC HAPTER ESPONSE TO OMMENTS Response to Comment C-7 The Draft EIR included a full and detailed analysis of potential biological impacts on pages 7-1 to 7- 38 and Appendix C of the Draft EIR. This information included recommended mitigation measures and aspects of the proposed project’s construction and use that would avoid or minimize impacts to special-status species and habitat. This analysis also included a full assessment of in-water impacts that could result if changes to the docks are subsequently proposed including measures to minimize potential impacts (see pages 7-31 to 7-37). Response to Comment C-8 The Draft EIR included a full and detailed analysis of potential impacts to water quality and recommended measures to reduce these impacts on pages 12-6 through 12-11, including measure Hydro-1 requiring best management practices during installation of foundation piers, Hydro-2 requiring preparation and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, Hydro-3 requiring compliance with NPDES requirements for erosion control measures, and measures requiring monitoring for leachate from the landfill (Haz-4a, Haz-4d and Haz-4e). Response to Comment C-9 No Bay fill is currently proposed as a part of the OPSP or Phase I Project. If, during the approval process for specific development projects, it is determined that any subsequent activity pursuant to the OPSP will require Bay fill, such as for changes to the docks (the specifics of which are not currently available), appropriate review and permitting will be pursued at that time. Response to Comment C-10 Impact and Mitigation Measure Geo-16 have been added to address the stability of the bayside open space and require investigation by and compliance with recommendations of a coastal engineer. See the revisions in Chapter 22 of this document. Compliance with mitigation measure Geo-16 will reduce potential impacts related to instability of the bayside open space to a level of less than significant. Response to Comment C-11 Development in the OPSP area will generally avoid development or other activities within tidal areas, marshland or in-water, with the exception of possible changes to docks in the Oyster Point Marina, discussed below. If, during the approval process for specific development projects, it is determined that activities will encroach into these areas, appropriate review and permits will be pursued. Because possible changes to two of the docks in the Oyster Point Marina were being contemplated during preparation of the Draft EIR, the potential environmental impacts associated with potential in- water construction for these docks were analyzed in the Draft EIR at a programmatic level of detail, consistent with the level of detail currently known about these contemplated changes. These potential actions are not part of the Phase I Project and there is currently no specific design or construction proposal for such docks. If changes to the docks are indeed proposed at a later date, the specifics will need to undergo appropriate review and permitting. Response to Comment C-12 The potential impact of future sea level rise is discussed in full on pages 12-11 through 12-15 of the Draft EIR. Figure 12.2 of the Draft EIR demonstrates protection of the entire development area under proposed grading conditions, including the public access areas, under potential sea level rise scenarios.

Response to Comment D-21 As outlined in the first paragraph of page 3-1 of the Draft EIR, the Phase I Project has been analyzed on a project level in the EIR. Because elements of the future phases within the OPSP are conceptual at this point, these have been analyzed on a programmatic level. While conceptual, as much detailed information as possible has been included for future phases to ensure a more exhaustive consideration of effects and alternative for the entire OPSP than would have been possible if each phase had been considered separately. See the detailed description of the programmatic OPSP on pages 3-2 through 3-4 and 3-19 of the Draft EIR. Programmatic analysis is explicitly allowed for projects of this type under section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, and is a common practice for large multi-phase Specific Plans that would not be considered “segmentation” under CEQA.

Traffic congestion results in lost time for residents and commuters and increased demand on City fiscal resources for roadway construction and maintenance. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “mobile sources account for more than half of all the air pollution in the United States. The primary mobile source of air pollution is the automobile. …today's motor vehicles are still responsible for up to half of all 1 “In the Bay Area, the transportation sector accounts for the emissions released into the air.” 2 more than 50 percent of air pollution, and more than 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.” Traffic congestion in San Mateo County and the City of South San Francisco contributes significantly to local air pollution. In order to create a commute-friendly project, Shorenstein/SKS Investments (S/SKS) has prepared a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan for the Oyster Point project in South San Francisco. As the most aggressive TDM goal in the City’s TDM Ordinance, this plan is ultimately designed to achieve a 40 percent alternative mode-use rate by responding to the following broad purpose statements: a.Reduce the amount of traffic generated by new non-residential development, pursuant to the City’s police power and necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare. b.Ensure that expected increases in traffic resulting from growth in employment opportunities in the City of South San Francisco will be adequately mitigated. c.Reduce drive-alone commute trips during peak traffic periods by using a combination of services, incentives, and facilities. d.Promote the more efficient utilization of existing transportation facilities and ensure that new developments are designed in ways to maximize the potential for alternative transportation usage. e.Establish an ongoing monitoring and enforcement program to ensure that the desired alternative mode use percentages are achieved. S/SKS is committed to reducing trips, air pollution, traffic congestion, and parking demand contributes to successful carbon footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions for this redevelopment project, further enhancing long-term operations. While implementation and future monitoring requirements stemming from AB32 and SB375 are still pending, by all accounts, developers and property owners will likely be required to reduce impacts from GHG emissions. By reducing emissions now, the Oyster Point project will help lead the mitigation process. S/SKS has prepared this TDM plan to address the aforementioned purpose statements. 1 http://www.epa.gov/apti/course422/ap3a.html 2 Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Aaron Richardson, Public Information Officer Page i Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 S/SKS prepared this TDM plan in compliance with Chapter 20.400 o Transportation Demand Management Ordinance (updated July 2010). consistent with the City of South San Franciscos Ordinance and the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) Guidelines for the Imple Component of the Congestion Management Program. The plan includes TDM measures specifically developed for the Oyroject. Measures include: preferential carpool parking, secure bicycle parking, bicycle kionsitecommuter kiosk(s), free San Mateo County Alliance trial transit pass prog program for alternative transportation users. The plan has a variety of infrastructure and incentive-based measures, which encourage all forms of alternative mode-use, such as: carpool, vanpool, transit, bicycling, walking, and telecommuting. S/SKS we and support future tenant and employer participation in use of alternative commute programs. The alternative transportation mode-use rate will be monitored annually, with the first employee commute survey, for Phase I, to be conducted two years after occ alternative mode-use survey summary report will be submitted to the Citys PlanniDivision following the completion of each annual employee commute survey. A triennial report is also required to peer review and field-verify the results of the annual reports. The 53 measures and elements contained in this plan are consistent with-performing employee TDM commute programs in the Greater San Francisco Bay A A list of TDM measures planned for Oyster Point includes: SECTION I – TDM INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL MEASURES 1.Reduced Parking Supply 2.Carpool and Vanpool Parking Allocation 3.Preferential Carpool and Vanpool Parking Space Placement 4.Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicle Parking 5.Motorcycle and Scooter Parking Placement 6.Passenger Loading Zones 7.Transportation and Commute Information Kiosks 8.Bicycle Connections 9.Bicycle Parking  Long-Term (Class I) 10.Bicycle Parking  Short-Term(Class II) 11.Bicycle Kitchen 12.Showers and Clothes Lockers 13.Pedestrian Connections 14.Land Dedicated for Transit/Bus Shelter 15.Direct Route to Transit/Public Transportation Access Page ii Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 SECTION II – PROGRAMMATIC TDM MEASURES 16.Designated Employer Contact 17.Tenant Training and TDM Resource Representative 18.Campus Transportation Coordinator/Commuter Assistance 19.Oyster Point Commute Web Page and Resources 20.e-Concierge Commuter Services 21.Employee Transportation and Commuter Brochure 22.New Facility Kick-off Event (at 50 percent occupancy) 23.Annual Campus Spare the Air Transportation Fair 24.Promotional Programs – Tenant and Employee Outreach 25.Transportation Management Association (TMA) 26.Bicycle Commuter Resources 27.Guaranteed Emergency Ride Home Program 28.511 Commuter Calculator 29.Carbon Calculator 30.Greenhouse Gas Reduction Assessment 31.U.S. EPA Best Workplaces for Commuters (BWC) Membership 32.Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) Membership 33.Commuter Amenities (Onsite and nearby) 34.Parking Programs – free carpool and vanpool parking 35.Zipcar and/or Enterprise WeCar – car sharing 36.Alliance Shuttle Programs (Caltrain, BART, and Water Ferry) 37.Downtown Dasher – midday service 38.Commuter Choice – Pre Tax Options (transit, vanpool, and bicycle) 39.Employer Commute Subsidies/Allowances and Parking Cash Out 40.Transit and Trip Planning 41.Free Try Transit Program 42.Regional 511 Carpool and Vanpool Ride-matching services 43.Oyster Point Campus Carpool and Vanpool Ride-matching services 44.Flextime Infrastructure 45.Teleworking/Telecommuting Infrastructure 46.Compressed Work Week Infrastructure SECTION III  ENFORCEMENT, MONITORING, AND REPORTING 47.Tenant Performance and Lease Language – TDM requirements and commitment 48.Assurance of TDM Disclosure and Commitments 49.City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) Guidelines 50.Annual Employee Commute Survey 51.Annual Employee Commute Survey Summary Report 52.Triennial Audit Report 53.Penalty Language for Non-Compliance Page iii Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 1.0INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE The Oyster Point project includes clustered development with primarily office and research and development (R&D), buildings. Clustered developments in the City enhance the efficiency of the existing transportation system. This project is located near, and is served by, the South San Francisco Caltrain Station,the South San Francisco BART Station, the soon to open South San Francisco Ferry Terminal, the San Bruno BART Station, the Millbrae Caltrain/BART Station, as well as U.S. Highway 101 and nearby Interstate 280. The comprehensive plan is designed to: a.Reduce the amount of traffic generated by new non-residential development, pursuant to the City’s police power and necessary in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare. b.Ensure that expected increases in traffic resulting from growth in employment opportunities in the City of South San Francisco will be adequately mitigated. c.Reduce drive-alone commute trips during peak traffic periods by using a combination of services, incentives, and facilities. d.Promote the more efficient utilization of existing transportation facilities and ensure that new developments are designed in ways to maximize the potential for alternative transportation usage. e.Establish an ongoing monitoring and enforcement program to ensure that the desired alternative mode use percentages are achieved. The measures outlined in this plan will be essential to realizing the mode shift sought in association with the project. TDM is a combination of services, incentives, facilities, amenities, and actions that reduce single occupant vehicle (SOV) trips to help relieve traffic congestion, parking demand, and air pollution problems. In addition to the purpose statements included above, TDM also promotes better utilization of existing transportation facilities. At a minimum, the TDM measures outlined below are expected to achieve the goal of 35% alterative mode usage when the project is built out to a 1.0 FAR or less, or a graduated scale between 35% and 40% alternative mode usage (“Targeted Alternative Mode Usage”) when the project is built out between a 1.0 and 1.25 FAR, by employees within the project. The Targeted Alternative Mode Usage will be determined as follows: Floor Area Ratio Alternative Mode Usage <1.0 35% 1.01 - 1.12 38% 1.13 - 1.25 40% In addition, this TDM report satisfies project requirements from local (e.g., General Plan, Zoning Ordinance) and State regulatory elements such as Assembly Bill 32, California Climate Solutions Act of 2006 and Senate Bill 375 as described in Section 1.2, and applicable portions of the U.S. Page 1 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Core & Shell certification.

Assembly Bill 1493–requires that CARB develop and adopt regulations that achieve the maximum feasible reduction of GHGs emitted by passenger vehicles and light-duty truck and other vehicles, and to develop the nations first GHG emission standards for automobiles. Executive Order S-3-05 – directs the secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal EPA) to initiate a multi-agency effort to reduce GHG emissions to the target levels. Assembly Bill 32, California Climate Solutions Act of 2006 – requires that statewide GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by the year 2020. This first-in-the-world comprehensive program of regulatory and market mechanisms are designed to achieve real, quantifiable, and cost-effective reductions of GHG. AB 32 establishes CARB as the agency responsible for monitoring and reducing GHG emissions. Senate Bill 375 – establishes improved land use and transportation policy supporting AB32 byproviding a means for achieving the AB 32 goals for cars and lig use changes. This legislation created potentially revolutionary changes in California's regional planning processes for housing and transportation by mandating the creation of sustainable regional growth plans. These plans are expected to d reduction targets that local governments must meet through land The CEQA streamlined review process for developers is the most significant provision of the bill. Projects that meet certain criteria including at least 50 percent residential use, high densities, and located within 1/2 a mile from rail, ferry, or bu-minute headways or less  qualify for a CEQA review exemption. Page 4 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 2.0GENERAL TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT DEFINITION The basic premise of TDM is the maximum utilization of existing transportation resources. The City of South San Francisco, as is typical of other urban areas in the United States, has millions of dollars invested in roadway infrastructure and public transit infrastructure. The goal of TDM is to take advantage of these major capital investments efficiently and economically. The following are basic goals that can be achieved through effective utilization of TDM measures: 1) Convert trips to an alternative mode of transportation (e.g., transit, carpools or vanpools, bicycling or walking). 2) Shift travel to less congested facilities by providing traveler information systems that warn motorists about delays or alternative routes. 3)Support other technological solutions (e.g., compressed natural gas, electric/hybrid vehicles, or other zero emission vehicles). 4)Eliminate or shift trips from peak periods (e.g., flexible schedules, compressed work weeks, or telecommuting). Until recently in the United States, the answer to relieving roadway and parking congestion was to build more roads and parking facilities (similar in concept to building another manufacturing plant to expand productivity levels). Current economics and limited resources affect the ability to build and maintain more roads or parking facilities. This reality necessitates better utilization of the existing transportation infrastructure (similar to adding a second shift at an existing manufacturing plant). To that end, TDM measures support the transition to a greater use of existing alternative transportation options. 3.0 SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA EMPLOYEE MODE SPLIT 6 prepared by RIDES For Bay Area According to the Commute Profile 2005 Regional Report Commuters, the overall San MateoCounty alternative mode-use rate was estimated at approximately 29 percent, with the Bay Area regional rate comprising approximately 34 percent. The larger Bay Area alternative mode-use rate reflects the increased prevalence of paid parking in urban core areas. Whereas, parking is free or much less expensive in much of San Mateo County and free in the City of South San Francisco. The 2007-2009 American Community Survey (based on the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program) estimated the City of South San Francisco mode-use rate to be approximately 30 percent. Table 1 shows the comparison of alternative transportation mode-use rates(non-drive alone commuters) for the greater Bay Area region, San Mateo County, City of South San Francisco, and a nearby project site. 6 2005 was the last comprehensive survey conducted for the San Francisco Bay Area.

Page 8 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 Page 9 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 SECTION I  TDM INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL MEASURES The following physical infrastructure measures are designed to support alternative transportation commuters. These measures are TDM components that will be installed during the construction of the project. 5.0PARKING MANAGEMENT The willingness to participate in, and the actual level of employee ridesharing, is directly linked to parking availability and parking cost.Reduced parking availability supports trip reductionand discourages SOV trips by limiting easy and convenient parking options. Reduced parking availability also enhances other alternative mode-use options. 5.1 Paid Parking As is typical of other development projects east of Highway 101 in South San Francisco, tenant employees are not charged prevailing market rates for parking access. Parking in the Oyster Point project will be provided free to commuters. Free employee commuter parking is a consistent feature at projects such as Britannia Modular Labs I [Onyx] & II [Takeda], Britannia Oyster Point [Amgen and Rigel], and Genentech. 5.2 ReducedParking Supply As a biotech office/R&D project, there will be a total of 5,625 garage parking spaces. The ratio of parking to building square footage is one space per 400 square feet (2.5/1,000). The typical City parking code for R&D land use scenario is one space for every 350squarefeet of gross floor area. Office land use parking code is one space for every 300 square feet up to the first 100,000 square feet, and then one space for every 350 square feet for the remaining project square footage. The Oyster Point project is proposing to provide a reduced parking ratio equivalent to one space for every 400 square feet for the entire project. The Oyster Point project will reduce total onsite parking by 851 spaces to further enhance its TDM efforts. This reflects a 15 percent reduction in parking spaces. Table 5 references the onsite parking requirements section of Chapter 20.330.004 of the City Code and the build-out parking estimated for the project. Table 6 references the proposed Phase I parking scenario which represents an 18.0 percent parking reduction.

Table 7 shows the carpool breakdown. Table 7 Oyster Point – Carpool and Vanpool Parking Summary Carpool and Vanpool Parking Distribution Parking Phase I Build-out Carpool and Vanpool 7% 89 394 It should be noted that the 394 allocated carpool vehicle parking spaces would support and serve more than 800 carpool participants. Page 12 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 The carpool and vanpool parking measure meets the Sustainable Site LEED Credit 4.4: Alternative Transportation: Parking Capacity. SS Credit 4.4: Alternative Transportation—Parking Capacity Intent To reduce pollution and land development impacts from automobile use Requirements Size parking capacity to meet but not exceed the minimum local zoning requirements. Provide preferred parking for carpools or vanpools for 5% of the total parking spaces. 5.4Preferential Carpool and Vanpool Parking Space Placement One effective means of encouraging employees to rideshare and/or-fuel vehicle is to reserve the preferred parking spaces (premium, convenient locati, or within 100 feet of building entrances) for the exclusive use of carpools, vanpools, and clean-fuel vehicles. These preferred parking spaces will be designated with signage a throughout the project. Preferential parking spaces are an excellent incentive that sends a clear visual message to employees and the community that alternative t not only important but also provides benefits to those who us it. Use of these carpool parking spaces may require policy development, employee registration,and permitting. Registered vanpools will receive a designated parking space. The project developer will be responsible for striping the pavement and providing appr signage for preferential parking throughout the site. Figure 1 shows a sample carpool parking space designation. Figure 1 Sample Striped Carpool Parking Space Page 13 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 5.5Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient VehicleParking -- Upon completion of this project, there will be a minimum of 282 designated (five percent of vehicle spaces) lowemitting and cleanfuel vehicle parking spaces. These parking spaces may require employee registration and permitting. The project developer will be responsible for construction, striping, and signage for spaces. Building managementwill be responsible for registration, permitting, and management of parking programs for employees. Table 8 shows a breakdown of the various types of preferential parking counts. Table 8 Oyster Point – Fuel Efficient Parking Summary Preferential Parking DistributionParking Phase I Build-out Low Emitting & Fuel Efficient Vehicles 5% 64282 This fuel-efficient parking measure meets the Sustainable Site LEED Credit 4.3: Alternative Transportation: Low Emitting and Fuel Efficient Vehicles. SS Credit 4.3: Low Emitting and Fuel Efficient Vehicles Intent To reduce pollution and land development impacts from automobile use Requirements Provide preferred parking for: 1)Low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles 2)5% of the total vehicle parking capacity of the site. Providing a discounted parking rate is an acceptable substitute for preferred parking for low- emitting/fuel-efficient vehicles. To establish a meaningful incentive in all potential markets, the parking rate must be discounted at least 20%. The discounted rate must be available to all customers (i.e., not limited to the number of customers equal to 5% of the vehicle parking capacity), publicly posted at the entrance of the parking area, and available for a minimum of 2 years. 5.6 Motorcycle and Scooter Parking Placement Designated motorcycle, electric scooter, and electric bicycle pa location. Electric scooters will be encouraged for employee consn-fuel benefits and contribution to reducing vehicle congestion and par 5.7 Passenger Loading Zones In order to facilitate disembarking and embarking of rideshare p loading/unloading areas will be provided. A passenger loading zoe for carpool and vanpool drop- off will be located close to the entrance of each building. The project developer will be responsible for the construction o appropriate signage at the site. Page 14 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 6.0 TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUTE INFORMATION KIOSKS An information board or kiosk will be located in each buildingin a common gathering area (e.g., lobby, employee entrance, break, or lunch room)and in all parking structures at the main level. The kiosk will contain transportation information, such as EmergencyRide Home (ERH), transit schedules, BART, Caltrain, and 511 ride-matching. Information will be updated periodically by the Campus Transportation Coordinator (CTC). Figure 2 shows a wall-mounted transportation information board. Figure 2 Sample Transportation and Commute Information Board Page 15 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 7.0PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE AMENITIES The project will have pedestrian and bicycle connections to regional facilities and the San Francisco Bay Trail. The Bay Trail is a network of multi-use pathways circling San Francisco and San Pablo bay. The ultimate route is planned to be a 400-mile route through nine Bay Area counties and 42 8 The trail provides commuters an exceptional pathway to bicycle oork shoreline cities. in South San Francisco.

Page 17 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 7.4Bicycle Kitchen The project developer may establish an onsite Bicycle Kitchen. The Bicycle Kitchen will be a do-it-yourself mini bike repair shop. The Kitchen may include support resources such as: Workbenches Tools Repair kits Equipment Self-serve resources for bicyclists During the year, building management may also provide occasional onsite bicycle tune-up service, such as The Bike Doctor, for commuter cyclists. Services may include: Adjustbrakes, derailleurs, hubs, crank set, headset, etc. True wheels Lube pivot points and chain Clean drive train 7.5 Showers and Clothes Lockers Showers and clothes lockers will be installed for use byemployees who walk orbicycleto work, or, for those who wish to change clothes after commuting via an alternative mode of transportation. According to the February South San Francisco 2011 Bicycle Master Plan, shower and changing facilities shall be located in the buildings, garage, or within 200 yards of a building entrance. The South San Francisco Bicycle Master Plan identifies that six showers will be provided for every 160 to 194 bicycle parking spaces – per gender. Bicycle parking spaces in excess of 194 will require an additional shower facility (per gender) for each 30 additional spaces. Shower and changing facilities will be provided free of charge for all employees. However, in order to achieve a LEED standard, the project will exceed the City’s Bicycle Master Plan recommendation (by seven) and provide a total of 36 showers for the project. Table 10shows the number of proposed shower facilities planned for the project.

These shuttle services provide good transit connectivity for employees at the worksite. 8.1 Direct Route to Transit/Public Transportation Access Shuttle drop-off and pick-up locations for BART and Caltrain commuter service will be located at the project. This transit access meets the Sustainable Site LEED Credit 4.1: Alternative Transportation: Public Transportation Access. SS Credit 4.4: Alternative Transportation—Public Transportation Access Intent To reduce pollution and land development impacts from automobile use. Requirements–Bus Stop Proximity Locate the project within 1/4-mile walking distance (measured from a main building entrance) of 1 or more stops for 2 or more public, campus, or private bus lines usable by building occupants. 8.2 Developer Land Dedicated for Transit/Bus Shelter Should the Alliance pursue additional shuttle stops (e.g., at pl the project site, the developer would be amenable to provide designated street-side space for the Alliance shuttle stop including bus shelter and bulb-outs. Page 23 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 SECTION II – PROGRAMMATIC TDM MEASURES The following programmatic measures are designed to enhance the success of the TDM program and upon implementation; they create the “Oyster Point Commute Program”. These measures are TDM components that will be required of tenants and employers as part of their occupancy agreements and represent promotions, and outreach activities of the Oyster Point Commute Program. 9.0TENANT SERVICES, MANAGEMENT, AND COMMUTER OUTREACH An active Campus Transportation Coordinator (CTC), cooperative property management, and involved tenant-employers, will generate positive impacts toward the success of the TDM goals and elements that are implemented. TDM commute programs and benefits must be presented to the employees in a comprehensive and proactive manner along with other employee programs. This can be done via participation and support of employee orientation forums or transportation fairs, transportation kiosk posting, employee newsletters, management bulletins, e-mails, etc. From a practical standpoint, tenant-employer management support must be twofold: 1) Upper management will encourage alternative modes whenever possible. 2) Supervisors need to be supportive of employees who try alternative modes, even if it means initial minor adjustments to their work schedule. TDM should be viewed as a big picture process. It is important that the employees see how both they, and the community benefit (e.g., better air quality and less traffic congestion on the highways and in the surrounding neighborhoods, less parking hassle, cost savings for employees, etc.). Synergistic measures that support these efforts include the transportation kiosk, employee fliers, resource Web sites, promotional programs and incentives, employer training, and employee outreach. 9.1 Designated Employer Contact The Oyster Point project will require a designated contact to be identified for all future tenants/occupants. The designated tenant/employer contact will be the official contact for the Oyster Point TDM program described in this plan. The designated employer contact will coordinate closely with the project CTC, maintain onsite TDM programs, and, employee education and marketing, administer the annual surveys, and provide information continuity for the developer/landlord and the City of South San Francisco. 9.2 Tenant Training and TDM Resource Representative As needed, building management will provide Oyster Point TDM program training and employee commute program start-up assistance for their tenants. A TDM resource representative will provide tenant training, planning assistance,and annual monitoring and survey reporting. Page 24 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 The overarching goals of this support functionare to reduce commute trips for employees, formalize tenant commute programs, and assist with employee marketing and outreach. The TDM resource representative may assist building management in the preparation of tenant materials for new employee orientation, production of kick-off events, and coordination of carpool parties, commute e-news articles, employee assistance, and coordination of the annual transportation fair. 9.3 Campus Transportation Coordinator/Commuter Assistance Building management will provide aCampus Transportation Coordinator (CTC) whose primary responsibility will be implementing the TDM plan. The CTC may be a part-time or outsourced coordinator who manages the TDM commute program. The CTC will be responsible for providing ongoing commute assistance to employees, producing onsite transportation fairs and promotional events, collaborating with 511 to maximize rideshare resources, conducting the annual survey, and producing the annual commutereport. TDM industry data supports that having a CTC results in a very positive impact on increasing alternative mode use. The CTC will provide the following services: Promote trip reduction and air quality strategies to employees at the project site Be the main point of contact for employer contacts and employees who wishto commute using an alternative transportation mode Conduct annual employee surveys and provide reports to the City of South San Francisco, including: commute patterns, mode splits, and TDM program success Evaluate survey results for alternative transportation potential and/or changes to the current program Catalog all existing incentives that encourage employees to utilize alternative transportation programs, promote Commuter Club prizes and newsletters Work with local agencies such as Caltrain, BART, www.commute.org, 511 Rideshare, and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). Post informational materials on transportation kiosks in employee common areas, and disperse alternative program information to employees via designated employer contacts, posters, fliers, banners, campus newsletter, new employee orientation, etc. Participate in the BAAQMD Spare the Air program to encourage employees not to drive to work alone Provide timely electronic shuttle and transit alerts to riders of BART and Caltrain Coordinate and manage various aspects of the plan that require periodic updating or monitoring, such as the guaranteed ERH program, car and vanpool registration, parking enforcement, and locker assignment and enforcement Page 25 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 9.4Oyster Point Commute Web Site and Resources A comprehensive Oyster Pointtransportation and commute information Web site will be developed for use by all tenants and their employees. The Web site will contain transportation information, resources, and links, including promotions, incentives, Spare the Air notices, ERH information, shuttle schedules, 511 ride-matching, and other related information. A sample home page for the Oyster Pointcommute Web site is shown in Figure 5. Figure 5 Sample Oyster Point Commute Web Site 9.4.1 e-Concierge Commuter Services Web Page Commuters without personal vehicles can also find a comprehensive list of providers who can deliver, perform, or offer on-demand and onsitesupporting services via the e-Concierge Services link. The Oyster Pointe-Concierge Services may include food, catering, groceries, banking, real estate, haircut and salon, laundry and dry cleaning, errands, daycare, and many other convenience vendors. A conceptual e-concierge Web page is shown in Figure 6. Page 26 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 Figure 6 Conceptual Commute e-Concierge Web Page 9.5EmployeeTransportation Brochure At the time of occupancy, all tenants and employees will be provided with an Employee Transportation Brochure and Fact Sheet regarding the Oyster Point Commute Program. This brochure will include (but not be limited to) information about carpool parking, transit opportunities, shuttle services, bicycle routes, and ERH. A sample Brochure is provided on page 28 and a sample 10 Facts flier about the commute program is provided on page 29. Building management will provide the project tenants with an original (editable), reproducible employee transportation brochure and 10 Facts flier for their use and distribution to employees.

FREE Transportation and Commute Kiosk in each building – 511 materials, commute.org, Caltrain schedules, bicycle maps, flyers, etc., and FREE trip planning services at www.511.org 10. Convenient nearby supporting amenities – ATM banking services, cafes, restaurants, shops, recreational facilities, bicycle routes, etc. The goal of the Oyster Point Commute Program is to promote transit and alternative commute options. This effort is designed to improve air quality, create a sustainable work environment, reduce employee-parking demand, and enhance participation in rideshare programs. The Oyster Point Commute Program is designed to achieve a 40% employee alternative mode-use rate as required by the City of South San Francisco. Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 9.6Kick-off Commuter Event Upon 50 percent occupancy of each building, building management will host a commute alternative kick-off event/celebration or employee marketing campaign. Transportation service providers (such as BART, SamTrans, Caltrain, and the Alliance) will be invited to set up exhibit booths/tables. To encourage employee participation in the event, the building management and/or tenants may provide food (e.g., popcorn, hot dogs, and refreshments) and possible give-a- ways (e.g., commuter mugs, water bottles, t-shirts, etc.). The tenants will help set the date for the event and advertise the event at least two weeks in advance. 9.7 Annual Transportation Fair Building management and/or tenants will host an annual commute alternative event or fair. Transportation service providers (BART, Caltrain, 511 Regional Rideshare, and the Alliance) will be invited to set up exhibit booths/tables. To encourage employee participation in the event, the tenants may provide food (e.g., popcorn, cookies, hot dogs, ice cream, or other refreshments) and give-a-ways (e.g., commuter mugs, water bottles, t-shirts, etc.). The CTC will set the date for the event and advertise the event at least two weeks in advance. 9.8 Oyster Point Promotional Programs If possible, prior to occupancy, the future tenants will host a pre-move Transportation Fair or conduct a pre-movemarketing campaign, with a heavy emphasis on carpooling, transit, and shuttle resources. Throughout the year, tenants will be encouraged to maintain employee awareness by hosting other, smaller transportation fairs, such as lunch-time “brown bag” events. These events will highlight transit and trip-planning services, rideshare matching, and other commute opportunities at the new site. The transportation events will bring together transit and transportation providers (Caltrain, BART, SamTrans, and the Alliance), bicycle advocates, ride-matching organizations (511), and the Oyster Point Employee Commute Program for a comprehensive presentation. Other event ideas and promotions onsite at the project may include Bike-to-Work Week, Caltrain Day, or Rideshare Thursdays. During the year, various transit and rideshare organizations will be invited to set up a marketing booth during lunchtime at a central location on the campus to promote the alternative commute options available to employees. Free trial transit passes will be available for first-time riders. Periodic onsite tabling would also be recommended throughout the year in concert with other employer events such as health fairs, benefits fairs, or wellness event. Periodic rideshare articles will be written by the project CTC for internal employee newsletters with ongoing highlights of alternative commuters and their successes. Internal company notices and incentive promotions about Spare the Air (June through October), Bike to Work (May), and Rideshare Thursdays should attract attention of commuters, generate excitement about the use of commute alternatives, and reward those who rideshare. These promotions are often sponsored in conjunction with 511, the Regional Rideshare Program, or the BAAQMD. Page 30 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 The Oyster Point CTC will register with the BAAQMD for the Spare the Air program in order to receive regional air quality forecast bulletins about poor and unhealthy air quality days. These direct e-mail updates will be forwarded to all employees to encourage the use of alternative transit modes during peak advisory periods. 9.9Transportation Management Association Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) are typically private, nonprofit organizations run by a voluntary Board of Directors and a small staff. They help businesses, developers, building owners, local government representatives, and others work together to collectively establish policies, programs, and services to address local transportation problems. The key to a successful TMA lies in the synergism of multiple groups banding together to address and accomplish more than any single employer, building operator, developer, or resident could do alone. In South San Francisco, the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance operates as a TMA organization. The Alliance provides: Shuttle programs Transit advocacy Carpool and vanpool matching Information on local issues Parking management programsTeleworking Trial transit passesTraining Emergency ride home programs Marketing programs Enhanced bicycle facilities Promotional assistance Car and vanpool incentivesNewsletter Building Management will ensure that project tenants register in the Alliance ERH program for their employees and use the available resources and services. Participating in the Alliance is a valuable asset for project tenants. The Alliance is a clearinghouse for information about alternative commute programs, incentives, and transportation projects affecting San Mateo County businesses. Figure 7 shows the home page for the Alliance. Figure 7 Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance Web Site Page 31 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 9.10 Bicycle Commuter Resources The bicycling.511.org Website provides significant resources for Free Bike Buddy matching Bicycle maps Location of lockers How to take your bike on public transit How to take your bike across Bay Area toll bridges How to ride safely in traffic Tips on commuting Tips for bike selection Links to bicycle organizations Bike to Work Day Other bicycle resources (e.g., $20 monthly pre-tax payroll deduction, etc.) Additional bicycle resources are provided by the Alliance, such as a free one-hour, onsite Bike and Pedestrian Safety Program for employees. This workshop teaches commuters about bicycling and walking as a safe and stress-relieving commute mode, traffic laws for bicyclists and pedestrians, and bicycle maintenance tips. It also offers a drawing for free -related prizes. A copy of the Alliance Safety Program flier is provided as an attachment. The tenant coordinators will promote and market the available bicycle resources to their employees. 9.11 Guaranteed Emergency Ride Home Program The Oyster Point Commute Program will implement a free guaranteedERHprogramfor tenant- employees who use alternative forms of transportation.All employees who commute to work using transit, bicycle,carpool or vanpool,will be guaranteed afreeride home in case of a personal emergency, or when they unexpectedly have to work late,thereby missing the last bus or their normal carpool home. The Oyster Point ERH program will provide employees with peace of mind that comes fromknowing that if a child or loved one becomes ill or injured during the day,the employee can get to them quickly. The ERH program has proven very successful, as it removes one of the major objections employees have to giving up their privat with young families. Figure 8 shows an ERH employee program flier. Page 32 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 Figure 8 Sample Oyster Point Employee ERH Flier Page 33 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 9.12 511 Commuter Calculator The 511 Commute Calculator is a 511-sponsored online calculator that helps determine the hard cost of commuting by driving alone. The form asks for the number of miles traveled to work and how much is paid for parking and gas. Then, the calculator estimates the commuting costs and emissions. This free service can be found online at rideshare.511.org/calculator. vehicle CO 2 Figure 9 shows a sample cost calculation for a typical drive-alone commuter. This calculator will be provided as a link on the Oyster Point commuter resource Web pagse. Figure 9 Sample Drive-Alone Commute Calculator Data Inputs 9 9.13 Carbon Calculator Small changes in employee commutes can have significant impacts on the environment. The 511 Carbon Reduction Calculator can provide metrics about current emissions from employee commutes. Adjusting the sliders will recalculate the results and commute program can further reduce carbon emissions. Sharing the employees can help to: Encourage organizational and individual behavior change Empower employees to change daily transportation choices Help decrease factors contributing to climate change 9 rideshare.511.org/calculator/carbon_reduce.aspx Page 34 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 Building management will also use the annual employee commute survey data to calculate its onsite campus carbon reductions associated with employee commute activities. Table 11 shows a summary of estimated Phase I emissions for the project at a 35 percent sample mode-use rate and changes that may occur at 40 percent. Table 11 Oyster Point Carbon Emissions Estimate 9.14 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Assessment Each year, employee commute survey data will be used to assess GHG reduction benefits generated by the Oyster Point Commute Program. The annual employee alternative transportation mode-use data will be used to calculate GHG savings associated with the non-drive-alone transportation activities experienced at Oyster Point. This GHG assessment will provide supporting information for the City of South San Francisco’s annual reporting requirement to the California Air Resources Board under SB 375. Page 35 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 10 9.15 U.S. EPA Best Workplaces for Commuters Membership U.S. EPA Best Workplaces for Commuters (BWC) is an innovative membership program that provides qualified employers with national recognition and an elite designation for offering outstanding commuter benefits, such as free or low-cost bus passes, strong telework programs, carpooling matching, and vanpool subsidies. Employers that meet the National Standard of Excellence in commuter benefits—a standard created by the Center for Urban Transportation Research and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency—will be placed on the BWC employerlist.

Eliminating or reducing the need for an automobile to make midday trips increases non-drive-alone rates. Many times, employees perceive that they are dependent upon the drive-alone mode because of the number of errands and activities that must be carried out in different dependence through the provision of services and facilities at t alternative mode usage for commute-based trips should be realized. The Oyster Point building management and CTC will encourage tenants to offer their employees convenience amen A list of required onsite amenities for the Oyster Point project includes: Oyster Point Project Amenities Recreational greenbelt and patio areas Showers and clothes lockers Abundant bicycle lockers(133 spaces) Shuttle stops Transportation and commute kiosks Transportation and commuteresource Web site Web link to e-Concierge personal services Campus Transportation Coordinator (CTC) 30,000 square feet of shell space provided for amenities within the campus at full build out, which could house one or more of the following: Food service, café, beverage, and/or food vending machines o Sundries and/or convenience store o Postage and mail outlet o Onsite credit union/ATM o Exercise facility o Childcare facility o Potential Valet Amenities (tenant-driven) Mobile dentist Mobile hair and nail salon Mobile car care (oil change, cleaning, etc.) Mobile massage Mobile dry cleaning, shoe shine and repair, laundry, eyeglass repair Page 38 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 11.0 PARKING AND CAR SHARE PROGRAMS 11.1 Conveniently Located and Free Parking for Carpools, Vanpools, and Clean Fuel Vehicles As required by the Citys TDM Ordinance, parking will be conveniently located and free for all carpool, vanpool, and clean-fuel vehicle participants. As needed, the Oyster Point Commute Program will be responsible for monitoring the appropriate use of these via registration and/or permitting. Figure 10 shows a sample Oyster Point carpool parking permit. Figure 10 Sample Oyster Point Carpool Parking Permit Page 39 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 11.2 Zipcar The Oyster Point building management may consider options for car sharing services. Car sharing would provide employees access to onsite vehicles for daytime use. The Oyster Point projectmay host a parking location for one neighborhood Zipcar vehicle. Park employees could receive a membership discount for the Zipcar program and can utilize this resource for midday travel needs. Zipcar provides a shared neighborhood community vehicle(s) program. Zipcar users sign up to become members with a nominal annual fee and application fee. The vehicle is then reserved online and accessed via a cardkey pass system. Occasional-use driving rates are typically $7 per hour or $74 per day. More frequent drivers enjoy lower daily rates of $6.30 per hour or $66.60 per day. Fuel and insurance is included in the cost for the Zipcar. Mileage is typically allocated at 180 miles per day. More Zipcar information can be found at www.zipcar.com. Figure 11 depicts the Zipcar Web Site. Figure 11 Zipcar Web Site Page 40 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 11.3 Enterprise WeCar The Oyster Point tenants/employers may establish an onsite WeCar sharing program for employees. WeCar is an affordable, flexible, environmentally responsible solution for reducing congestion, limiting vehicle ownership, and enhancing employee transportation programs. Car sharing provides members with access to a fleet of cars for short-term use throughout the day, thereby reducing the reliance on car ownership.The affordable hourly rate covers the normal expense of owning a car, including maintenance, fuel, and insurance. WeCar technology allows members to reserve cars online and then go directly to the reserved vehicle, which are available 24 hours a day and seven days a week. As a dedicated onsite fleet, the Oyster Point WeCar program may provide many advantages. Park employees would have exclusive access to the Oyster Point cars in the program. Oyster Point WeCar vehicles may also be utilized for car sharing during the workday and carpooling to and from home. WeCar memberships could be provided for free to employees. Figure 12 shows the WeCar Web Site. Figure 12 WeCar Web Site Page 41 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 12.0 TRANSIT SERVICES, SHUTTLES, AND TRANSIT PROGRAMS Caltrain and BARTprovide transit service to the City of South San Francisco in close proximity to the project site. Shuttle servicesfrom the South San Francisco Caltrain Station and the BART Station are provided near the project site and managed by the Alliance. A copy of the Alliance employer shuttle flier is provided as an attachment. 12.1 Alliance Shuttle Programs (Caltrain and BART) Building management will provide ongoing funding for the Oyster Point shuttles, a employee passes to tenants and employees. Project tenants will be encouraged to participate in the Alliances shuttle system with both commute peak-period and lunchtime service (via the Free Downtown Dasher, see section 11.2). The Oyster Point Caltrain and BART shuttles offer combined daily shuttle service totaling 29 trips. Table 12 shows the total number of weekday shuttle trips provided to the project site for connectivity to the South San Francisco BART and Caltrain stations. Table 12 Existing Shuttle Service to Oyster Point The Oyster Point Caltrain shuttle service circulates between the Station and the project during the morning and evening peaks at 20-, 25-, and 35-minute frequencies. A total of 14 Caltrain shuttle trips and 15 BART shuttle trips provide connecting service to and from the project site. The South San Francisco Employer Shuttles, including the Oyster Point shuttles, operate using an employee pass program. Participating projects and developments, contribute funding for the shuttles are provided with free passe route maps are provided on page 43. 12.1.1Enhanced Oyster Point Campus Shuttle Services As occupancy at the Oyster Point campus and shuttle ridership in enhanced shuttle programs (additional services and frequencies) with the Alliance employer shuttle programs.

Using existing shuttle stops, taxis drop off riders at locations in the downtown retail operated by Peninsula Yellow Cab of South San Francisco and mana employer-provided voucher and an employee trip reservation before 10:00 a.m. This service is not a fixed route or fixed schedule service. A detailed Downtown Dasier is provided as an attachment. 12.3 Caltrain Caltrain operates a frequent fixed-route commuter rail service seven days a week between San Francisco, through the Millbrae multi-modal station and continuing to San Jose, as well as limited service to and from Gilroy on weekdays. Caltrain operatevarious frequencies during the peak periods in the morning and evening. Service intervals to South San Francisco are shown in Figure 13 and indicate train frequencies throughout the day ranging from 15 to 60 minutes. Figure 13 Train Frequencies at the South San Francisco Caltrain Station Midday service operates approximately every hour. Service is less frequent during weekends and holidays.Bicycles are permitted on Caltrain. Caltrain services were enhanced in 2004 to add express trains during peak hours (i.e., Baby Bullet service). However, this new service does not provide an express stop to the South San Francisco Caltrain Station and therefore will not benefit employees in the Oyster Point area. Caltrain service is available approximately 1.5 miles from the project at the South SanFrancisco station located at 590 Dubuque Avenue and Grand Avenue. Shuttle service from the South San Francisco Station is provided by the Oyster Point Shuttle and ma It should be noted that no public Caltrain shuttles services are available from the Millbrae Station to the Oyster Point project. A Caltrain system map is provided in Figure 14.

Other Transit Commute Benefits Transit commuters are eligible to participate in the Emergency R Home program should you ever need a midday ride home due to an emergency (requires employer registration). 12.4BayArea RapidTransit (BART) BART is a 92.7-mile, 43-station automated rapid transit system located along five lines of double track. Trains traveling up to 80 mph connect San Francisco to Millbrae and other East Bay communities – north to Richmond, east to Pittsburg/Bay Point, west to Dublin/Pleasanton, and south to Fremont. Service is scheduled every 15 minutes during peak periods. Service during holidays and weekends are modified. Bicycles are permitted on BART during non-commute hours. BART-to-the-Airport expanded the system by 8.7 miles along the peninsula from San Franciscoto a new intermodal station in Millbrae. The Millbrae BART Station is the largest intermodal terminal 12 west of the Mississippi, featuring a cross-platform connection to Caltrain. Four new stations were created, including the San Bruno Station and the South San Francisco Station located between El Camino Real and Mission Road to the south of Hickey B The Oyster Point project is approximately 3.7 miles from the South San Francisco Station and 3.3 miles from the San Bruno Station. BART shuttle services from the provided by the Oyster Point BART Shuttle managed by the Allianc It should be noted that no public BART shuttles services are available from the Millbrae Station to the Oyster Point project. A BART system map is shown in Figure 15. 12 http://www.bart.gov/stations/mlbr/index.aspx Page 46 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 Figure 15 BART System Map 12.5 SamTrans SamTrans provides bus service throughout San Mateo County, with Millbrae, San Bruno, Daly City, and South San Francisco BART stations; San Francisco Internationa peninsula Caltrain stations; and downtown San Francisco. However, there is no direct SamTrans service east of Highway 101 SamTrans service does connect at the South San Francisco BART Station and, subsequently, the Oyster Point Area Shuttle Service that drops off and picks up wi Avenue. It should be noted that SamTrans does not provide a direct connection to the South San Francisco Caltrain Station; however, Routes 130, 292, 133, and 132 are within approximatel- mile walking distance from this station and the connecting shutt Bicycles are permitted on SamTrans buses. A SamTrans system map is shown in Figure 16. Page 47 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 Figure 16 SamTrans System Map for South San Francisco 12.6 Ferry Service Currently, there is no scheduled water transit service for the City of South San Francisco. Water service to South San Francisco is anticipated by late 2011. Prior to this service becoming operational, employees will be given a Web link to this resource. It is anticipated that the Alliance shuttle will be expanded to include a stop at the ferry terminal. Page 48 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 12.7 Commuter Choice – Pre-Tax Options (transit, vanpool, and bicycle) As of February 2009, the Commuter Choice option increased the ta-free salary payroll deduction to up to $230 per month per employee for vanpool and rail transi program (Commuter Check). Employees can now deduct up to $2,760 a year from their salary as a pretax payroll deduction. This program encourages non-drive-alone commute trips. Employers also receive a tax savings as a benefit of this program. The Oyster Point building management will encourage tenant-employers to offer this pre-tax option to their employees who utilize other transit resources su The law also allows employers to give employees the option to us paying taxes on up to $230 a month in commuting costs. Alternatively, employers can share these costs with their workers by paying part of their monthly commuti pay the balance using pre-tax dollars. Either way, both employers and their employees save 13 by participating in this simple plan. Direct transit or commute subsidies can be a set dollar amount o costs of transportation. Employment sites that offer transit or to have higher levels ofalternative mode-use. Subsidies can be provided in tandem with the pre- tax option. A $20 per month tax-free payroll deduction is now available to bicycle commuters. Bi commuters can deduct up to $240 per year in pre-tax bicycle expenses. This information can be found in the Internal Revenue Code Section 132 (F- 21, Title IX, Section 910. 12.8 Employer Commute Subsidies/Allowances and Parking Cash Out Commute allowances can be a set amount, usually taxable, for empany type of transportation option (except drive-alone), including those who walk, bicycle, or carpool. Allowances can be cash, gift cards, gift certificates, cafeteria employee-desired items. Employers that offer transit or commute subsidies generally tend to have higher levels of alternative mode-use. Subsidies can be provided in tandem with the pre-tax option as an employee benefit. As an employment feature, employers of the project will be encouraged to offer their employees commute subsidies or allowances to encourage them to use alternative transportation o reduce the demand for parking at the site. Parking cash out is a program that allows an employer to provide their employees with a choice of forgoing subsidized parking for a cash payment equivalent to the cost employer. This program is applicable if parking spaces are included as part of a commercial property lease to an employer and, as a result, are provided freployees. Under this program, employees of the commercial business would be given the option to elect a cash 13 www.apta.com/research/info/online/paystoride.cfm Page 49 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 payment to opt out of the use of an employer-subsidized parking space. The cash payment shall be equal to the cost to the employer on a per space basis. However, it should be noted that the Oyster Point project will not require paid parking at this time. 12.9 Transit and Trip Planning Online transit trip planning services are a useful tool for planning public transit trips. The greater SMSM Trip Planner. TakeTransit is San Francisco Bay Area is currently serviced by the 511 TakeTransit SM a useful tool for planning public transit trips. The 511 TakeTransit Trip Planner can build an itinerary that suits the need of the transit user. An itinerary can be built that can identify the fastest SM commute, with the least amount of transfers or the cheapest fares. The 511 TakeTransit Trip Planner, by default, will generate the fastest itinerary between the origin and destination. This free service can be found online attripplanner.transit.511.org.Figure 17depicts the 511 Transit Resource Web page. Google has also collaborated with select regional transit agencies to provide a public transit planner for riders of AC Transit and BART. This free service can be found online at www.google.com/transit. Figure 17 511 Transit Resource Web Page Page 50 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 12.10 Other Transit Resources Dadnab.com enables commuters to plan transit trips in the Bay Area using text messaging from a mobile phone, by converting information from the 511 Transit Trip Planner to a text message. By sending a text message with origin, destination, and optional arrival or departure time, Dadnab’s reply will tell commuters what buses or trains to take at which locations and times. iCommute SF Lite, powered by Nextbus, provides free real-time arrival predictions for the San Francisco Bay Area Muni and BART transit systems. Commuters receivenearby stops based on their iPhone's GPS location. 12.11 Free Try Transit Program Commute.org offers a Try Transit Program that provides a limited number of free transit tickets to people who are interested in trying public transit to get to work. These tickets are meant for people who are new to transit. Commuters requesting tickets must work, live in, or drive through San Mateo County. A copy of the Try Transit Program is provided as an attachment. Transit ticket options include: One BART ticket Three round-trip Caltrain tickets Six one-way SamTrans tickets Six Dumbarton tickets Three round-trip VTA tickets 14,15 13.0 RIDE-MATCHING SERVICES AND PROMOTIONS Car and vanpooling will be strongly encouraged at the project. A will be designed to promote the free personalized matching assistance through the 511 Rid program along with other rideshare resources. This car and vanpo-matching service provides individuals with a computerized list of other commuters residential ZIP code, along with the closest cross street, phone numbe available to commute to and from work. Individuals are then able with whom they wish to commute. They will also be given a list oar and vanpools in their residential area that they may be able to join should vaca 13.1 Regional511 Carpool and Vanpool Ride-Matching Services The Regional 511 Rideshare Ride-match Service, commonly known as www.511.org, provides free car and vanpool matching services. The Oyster Point Commute Program wi-line 511 service to employees on a regular basis and allow 511 to sol-ups at onsite 14 www.commute.org 15 www.511.org Page 51 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 employer-sponsored events, such as annual transportation fairs and wellness and benefits events. Oyster Point employers can also research employee ZIP code data from employee records and offer to match employees who live near one another. The 511 system gives commuters the information they need to make more informed choices when planning trips. By calling or logging in online, commuters can get up-to-the-minute information about traffic conditions, public transportation options, ridesharing, and bicycling anytime and anywhere throughout the greater Bay Area and Northern California. The 511 system offers one-stop shopping for traffic, transit, rideshare, and bicycle information in the region. The nine-county system also provides links to 511 systems in Sacramento, Oregon, and Nevada, and is available from any phone, provided the carrier supports 511. Most counties in the region have wireless and landline access to the service through major carriers. The Oyster Point Commute Program will be responsible for marketing the 511 Rideshare carpool program to their employees. Figure 18 depicts the 511 Rideshare page for carpool and vanpool matching services. Figure 18 511 Rideshare Web Page Page 52 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 13.2 Oyster Point Campus Ride-Matching Services Oyster Point building management will also provide a private ride-matching service for the exclusive benefit of employees via 511 Web Skinning to replicate the ride-matching resources. Figure 19 shows a sample skinned Oyster Point employee ride-matching page. Supporting carpool and vanpool incentive programs will also be p employees. A list of carpool and vanpool programs is provided as Figure 19 Sample Skinned Oyster Point Ride-Matching Page 13.3 Other Ride-Matching Resources Avego is a dynamic ride-matching product and service for iPhone and, eventually, Android users that allows drivers and riders to match and meet within as little as 10 minutes of their departure time. Carticipate is another dynamic ride-matching product and service for iPhone users. Page 53 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 Divide the Ride is a ridesharing service for parents to set up and track carpools for transporting their children to school and after-school activities. Goose Networks' Commute Management service features a multi-modal trip planner that uses 511 transit data. Employees at participating companies can then search for carpools, vanpools, private shuttles, and public transportation options directly from a company's website. 14.0 ALTERNATIVE WORK SCHEDULE INFRASTRUCTURE An alternative work schedule (flextime, compressed work week, or telework programs) can be beneficial in a number of ways. It can provide versatility, enabling employees to more conveniently use rideshare options and avoid traffic congestion and transit crowding. It can also be an attractive employee recruitment tool that allows employees to work around childcare or school schedules. Employees may view alternative work schedule programs as a highly desirable benefit. The following issues need to be considered for implementation of flextime work schedules: Can heating, cooling, and ventilation systems be adjusted for longer hours? Can security hours be adjusted? Will parking policies need to be changed to ensure parking for all shifts? Is building access flexible? To maximize alternative mode-use, the project tenants/employer may offer or give preference for alternative work schedules to employees who use or will use an alternative transportation mode. The CTC will provide information to tenants regarding alternative work schedule options and implementation formats. The project tenants may promote and market the available alternative work schedule programs listed below to their employees as part of their onsitecommute program. 14.1FlextimeBuilding Infrastructure In order to use alternative modes of transportation, employees may need special consideration for their work start and finish times. For example, if an employee’s workplace opens at 8:00a.m. and the carpool drops the employee off at 7:45 a.m., he/she must wait until the building opens. Many employees may choose to drive alone given those conditions. Flextime allows the employer to adjust business open and close times to facilitate the use of alternative commute modes. A flextime program permits employees to set or modify their arrival and departure times. Flextime policies usually state that the flexibility in scheduling must not conflict with workflow. Most flextime programs establish a core period of time during which all employees must be present. Employees can then adjust their start and finish times around this period. Supervisors usually retain a significant degree of control over scheduling. Page 54 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 The project tenants/employers may offer flextime to employees wishing to commute via alternative transportation rather than SOV. Project buildings may be open and accessible in the early morning and early evening hours to support an active flextime program. Flextime can positively influence travel behavior by allowing employees to adjust their work schedules to meet their transportation needs (i.e., to match a bus, car, or vanpool schedule). The CTC will provide information to tenants regarding flextime work schedules and implementation formats. 14.2 Teleworking Infrastructure The project will provide the infrastructure necessary to support teleworking options. Teleworking can be promoted by the project tenants/employers. If the tenant chooses to connect to the fiber optics network, the infrastructure allows multiple data transmissions. Provision of this equipment is part of ensuring that teleworkers enjoy fast, smooth data transmission between their workplace and telework office. The CTC will provide information to tenants regarding teleworking and implementation formats. The project tenants may offer teleworking opportunities to their employees as an alternative to commuting to the project site. 14.3 CompressedWork Week Building Infrastructure Tenants/employers may allow compressed workweek options for employees,as needed. A compressed workweek allows employees to work longer hours but shorter weeks. The shortened workweek and shifted hours may help employees avoid rush-hour traffic and reduce the number of commute days. Employees also have an additional day for leisure activities, personal business, and family time. Compressed workweek systems can include: “9/80” schedule, in which employees work eight 9-hour days (72 hours) plus one 8-hour day, totaling 80 hours over two weeks. This program allows employees to have one day off every two weeks. “4/10” schedule, in which employees work four 10-hour days per week. Employees typically are divided into two groups:One group works Monday through Thursday, the other group works Tuesday through Friday. “3/36” schedule, in which employees work three 12-hour days per week. This plan allows for days off other than just Monday or Friday. Employees are divided into five groups and each group is assigned different days off. The Oyster Point CTC will provide information to tenants regarding compressed work week schedule options and implementation formats. The tenants may offer this work schedule option to their employees. Page 55 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 SECTION III – ENFORCEMENT, MONITORING, AND REPORTING 15.0 ENFORCEMENT, MONITORING, AND REPORTING The intent of Chapter 20.400 of the City of South San Francisco’s Municipal Code is to reduce SOV trips and, in so doing, lessen the resulting traffic congestion and mobile source-related air pollution. It is important to ensure TDM measures are actually implemented and effective. Therefore, a monitoring and enforcement program is necessary for each development or project application. Because the City’s TDM Program is performance based (i.e., project alternative mode usage and corresponding trip reduction of 35-40 percent), an annual evaluation program will allow the Oyster Point building management, tenants, employees, and the City to assess the effectiveness of the unique program designed for their project and to make necessary adjustments to consistently meet or exceed the requirement. The Oyster Point project will establish and maintain a 35-40 percent alternative transportation mode-use rate at the proposed project site, which is subject to annual monitoring. Annual monitoring and penalty programs are consistent with previously approved methodologies implemented by the City of South San Francisco at other project sites in the east of Highway 101 area. 15.1 Tenant Performance and Lease Language TDM Requirements The developer (and/or all future owners) will draft lease language or side agreements for all tenants that require the identification of a designated employer contact responsible for compliance and implementation of the TDM program (including annual survey and reporting and registration in the Alliance’s ERH program). The agreement language may also identify the tenant’s share of potential penalties for failure to achieve the 35-40 percent alternative mode-use rate, failure to participate in the annual employee commute survey, or failure to submit the annual report as identified by the City of South San Francisco. The building management will be responsible for project-wide tenant performance. The lease language may be worded as follows: Tenant hereby agrees to designate one of its employees to act as a liaison with Landlord to facilitate and coordinate such programs as may be required by governmental agencies to reduce the traffic generated by the Oyster Point project as required by the City of South San Francisco as part of conditions of approval and to encourage the use of public transportation and ridesharing. Page 56 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 15.2 Assurance of TDM Disclosure and Commitments S/SKS will record appropriate instruments to assure that it and future owners will perform the applicable obligations related to this TDM program, including TMA membership(or Alliance participation) and compliance with the Oyster Point TDM measures. 15.3 City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) Guidelines C/CAG requires the developer and all subsequent tenants of a project to implement TDM programs that have the capacity to reduce the demand for new peak hour trips. The developer/tenants will not be held responsible for the extent to which these programs are actually used. The purpose of the monitoring program is to assess the compliance of the project with the final TDM plan. These programs, once implemented, must be ongoing for the occupied life of the development. The local jurisdiction must also agree to maintain data available for monitoring by C/CAG that supports the ongoing compliance with the agreed-to trip reduction measures. The estimated C/CAG trip credit accounting for the Phase 1 development is provided in Exhibit A. 15.4 Annual Employee Commute Survey The Oyster Point annual employee five-day commute survey will be a critical part of the monitoring process to evaluate and ensure the success of TDM measures. A report summarizing results from an employee survey distributed and collected by the CTC will provide both quantitative data (e.g., mode split) and qualitative data (e.g., employee perception of the alternative transportation programs). Employees who do not participate in the commute survey will be counted as drive-alone or SOV commuters by default. This default mechanism will render conservative results. Employees who carpool with only children will not be counted as a “commuter carpool” for purposes of this survey. Building management and tenant-employers will strongly encourage, support, and participate in the promotion and marketing of the annual employee survey. Survey data may then be used to focus TDM marketing and the efforts of the CTC. The TDM program could be re-tooled, if necessary, to maintain the project’s 35 to 40 percent alterative commute mode-use rates and commitment at the site. 15.5 Annual Employee Commute Survey Summary Report Each year, building management, via the Oyster Point employee commute survey data, will commission an annual TDM summary report to be submitted to the City that documents the effectiveness of the TDM Plan and the alternative mode-use with35 to 40 percent achievement. The TDM summary report will be prepared by an independent consultant, TMA, or rideshare agency that will work in concert with the developer and CTC. The initial annual employee survey (and subsequent surveys) will be conducted in the fourth quarter of each year. If requested by the City, the report of the annual commute survey findings for Oyster Point will be presented annually to the Planning Commission and the City Council. Page 57 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 15.6 Penalty Language for Non-Compliance Annual reports and triennial reports will be submitted to City to monitor and document the effectiveness of the TDM plan in achieving the goal of 35% alterative mode usage. When the project is built out to a 1.0 FAR or less, or a graduated scale between 35% and 40% alternative mode usage (“Targeted Alternative Mode Usage”) will be determined as follows: Floor Area Ratio Alternative Mode Usage <1.0 35% 1.01 -1.12 38% 1.13 -1.25 40% 1) TDM Reports: The initial TDM report for each redeveloped building on the property will be submitted two (2) years after the granting of a certificate of occupancy with respect to the building, and this requirement will apply to all of the redeveloped buildings on the property except the parking facilities. The second and all later reports with respect to each building shall be included in an annual comprehensive TDM report submitted to City covering all of the redeveloped buildings on the property which are submitting their second or later TDM reports. 2) Report Requirements: The goal of the TDM program is to encourage alternative mode usage, as defined in Chapter 20.400 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code. The initial TDM report shall either: (1) state that the applicable property has achieved the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage, based on the number of employees in the redeveloped buildings at the time, providing supporting statistics and analysis to establish attainment of the goal; or (2) state that the applicable property has not achieved the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage, providing an explanation of how and why the goal has not been reached, and a description of additional measures that will be adopted in the coming year to attain the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage. 3) Penalty for Non-Compliance: If after the initial triennial report, the subsequent triennial report indicates that, in spite of the changes in the TDM plan, the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage is still not being achieved, or if Owner fails to submit such a triennial report at the times described above, City may assess Owner a penalty in the amount of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) per year for each percentage point below the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage goal. i.In determining whether a financial penalty is appropriate, City may consider whether Owner has made a good faith effort to meet the TDM goals. Page 58 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 ii.If City determines that Owner has made a good faith effort to meet the TDM goals but a penalty is still imposed, such penalty sums, in the City’s sole discretion, may be used by Owner toward the implementation of the TDM plan instead of being paid to City. If the penalty is used to implement the TDM Plan, an Implementation Plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City prior to expending any penalty funds. iii.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any penalty shall bear the same relationship to the maximum penalty as the completed construction to which the penalty applies bears to the maximum amount of square feet of Office, Commercial, Retail and Research and Development use permitted to be constructed on the Property. For example, if there is 200,000 square feet of completed construction on the Property included within the TDM report with respect to which the penalty is imposed, the penalty would be determined by multiplying Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) times a fraction, the numerator of which is 200,000 square feet and the denominator of which is the maximum amount of square feet of building construction, excluding parking facilities, permitted on the Property; this amount would then be multiplied by the number of percentage points below the Targeted Alternative Mode Usage goal. Page 59 Oyster Point Preliminary TDM Plan February 23, 2011 16.0 CONCLUSION The Oyster Point TDM Plan was developed to meet the specific needs for the project. The TDM Plan provides specific elements, measures,and actions that commit the employer to implementation. This TDM Plan includes standard Code requirements, but is ultimately performance based and directs the developer to enhance existing programs and future employer services and create a formal project-wide commute program. Reduced parking, project amenities, expanded program marketing, ongoing promotions, a free guaranteed emergency ride home program, annual survey and reporting, and a campus transportation coordinator will provide the synergism needed to create an effective and successful program for Oyster Point. The language included in this TDM Plan provides very specific directions for the developerto use for implementation and development of commuter programs. It outlines the steps necessary (infrastructure, outreach, and promotions) for future tenants and employers to incorporate employee transportation benefits and programs. The TDM Plan contains a specific stated goal for achievement and financial penalties for non-compliance. Annual monitoring via surveys will provide the documentation needed todemonstrate effectiveness and goal attainment and requires the employer to identify additional TDM measures and programs they would implement if the goal was not achieved. S/SKS is committed to achieving a 35-40 percent alternative transportation mode-use rate. This TDM Plan provides the details this commitment to the City of South San Francisco and designated responsibility for implementation. The Oyster Point project supports the City of South San Francisco’s policy of focusing clustered developmentand reinforces the City of South San Francisco’s Green goals and practices. In order to be part of the transportation solution, this project contains the density and mass necessary to encourage the use of all alternative modes of transportation, includingbicycling, carpooling, vanpooling, and public transit. The Plan emphasizes TDM infrastructure, amenities and outreach to cost-effectively reduce SOV trips. Ridesharing strategies are intended to maximize existing transportation resources, support the goals and objectives of General Plan, and ultimately expand the reach of the transit systemfor commuters. The City of South San Francisco has a long history of environmental stewardship in maintaining a safe, healthy, and sustainable city. It recognizes the need for safeguards to protect the environment, as well as the importance of maintaining a stable climate system for current and future residents. By balancing these needs with economic growth, the Oyster Point project will help South San Franciscothrive as a community.
