CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION JOINT STUDY SESSION:
GENENTECH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT
EXPANSION AND MASTER PLAN" UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council and the Planning Commission conduct a Joint Study
Session to review the proposed Genentech Research and Development Overlay District expansion
and Master Plan Update.
BACKGROUND
Genentech, the world's first biotechnology company, was founded in 1976 and is headquartered in South
San Francisco. The existing campus comprises approximately 2.5 million square feet of research and
development, office, employee amenities, and manufacturing space on 120 acres. The City of South San
Francisco Municipal Code designated the area in which the Genentech campus and facilities are located as
within the East of 101 Area Plan, and as Planned Industrial (P-I). The Planned Industrial (P-I) zoning
district (Chapter 20.32 of the Municipal Code) establishes the basic permitted uses, height, bulk, and space
standards for all land designated Planned Industrial (P-I). In 1995, the City of South San Francisco
adopted the Genentech Corporate Facilities Master Plan (1995 Master Plan) to provide an integrated
framework for development of Genentech-owned properties at the City's eastern bay shore into a corporate
cmnpus. The Genentech R&D Overlay District (Overlay District), established as Chapters 20.39 and 20.40
of the South San Francisco Municipal Code, was adopt(:d concurrently and is based on the 1995 Master
Plan and specifies floor area ratio (FAR), parking ratio, building height, architectural design standards, and
approval procedures for development within the district.
DISCUSSION
Genentech has asked the City to update the 1995 Master Plan and to expand the Overlay District from 120
acres to approximately 200 acres. The Master Plan Update would evaluate a 224-acre study area,
comprising both Genentech owned and leased properties, as shown in Attachment 1. The 1995 Master
Plan is nearing its ten-year planning horizon. The Project includes a proposed update of the 1995 Master
Staff Report

Page 2 of3
Plan, and an amendment to the boundaries of the existing Overlay District from 120 acres to
approximately 200 acres.
City Objectives
The very purpose of the proposed Genentech Master Plan is to define an overall program that results in the
creation of a cohesive and integrated campus. The existing Overlay District and 1995 Master Plan are
designed to fulfill three broad objectives:
(1) Reflect changed conditions within and adjacent to the Genentech campus since the 1995 Master
Plan was completed (such as completion of various buildings and other improvements) and in the
broader East of 101 Area (such as adoption of a new South San Francisco General Plan, East of
101 Area Transportation Plan and TDM Program, and revised San Francisco International Airport
Height Limits) to ensure that the campus plan reflects current conditions and furthers the City's
policies and visions for the East of 101 Area;
(2) Enable cohesive expansion of facilities to fulfill Genentech's projected growth needs; and
(3) Provide a basis for the amendment to the existing Overlay District by establishing an appropriate
basis for inclusion of land surrounding the current Overlay District as part of an expanded Overlay
District. Genentech already owns or controls a significant majority of this expansion area. As is the
case currently, provisions of the City's Genentec:h R&D Overlay District would apply only to those
sites in the district that are owned by Genentech:; non-Genentech sites would not be subject to
provisions of the Overlay District. Thus, expansion of the Overlay District will facilitate cohesive
planning of sites that Genentech already owns or may acquire in the future.
The Master Plan Update will have a ten-year horizon (2016) and it should address a comprehensive range
of topics, including land use, urban design, design standards, transportation (including demand
management, transit, parking, and pedestrian circulation), and infrastructure (water and sewer capacity).
The Master Plan must also identify linkages to transit locations, such as Caltrain and BART stations, and
to other non-campus sites in the East of 101 Area, including Gateway and Bay West Cove, which
Genentech owns or leases. The proposed Master Plan does not include any development proposals at Bay
West Cove.
Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR)
As required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of South San Francisco
chose EIP Associates to prepare the Master Environmental Impact Report to analyze to potential impacts
from the Genentech Research & Development Overlay District expansion and the Master Plan Update.
Between October 2005 and January 2006, City staff and EIP Associates have reviewed the Master Plan
data and have asked Genentech to provide additional information related to total buildout, neighborhood
buildout, traffic projections, and water/sewer projections. The environmental consultant has completed
approximately forty percent of the tasks listed in the approved scope of work. City staff anticipates that the
Draft MEIR will be fully completed and ready for pubhc distribution by early April 2006.

CONCLUSION
City staff and Genentech's representatives will start the Joint Study Session by introducing the Master
Plan Update project and summarizing the key points and potential impacts. Following the presentations,
Council members and Planning Commissions will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide
direction. City staff recommends that the City Council and the Planning Commission conduct a Joint
Study Session to review the proposed Genentech Research and Development Overlay District expansion
and Master Plan Update.

IN SUMMARY
It was strongly recommended that the following matters be addressed by the Project Sponsor:
1. Massing and architectural style of ALL the towers be rethought and brought back for
reconsideration;
2. Begin to examine the traffic impacts of the revised Project;
3. Analyze the adequacy of parking for the grocery store and how it will actually work;
4. Define what the City stands to gain more clearly - especially civic and fiscal impacts;
and,
5. Refine the Project's Landscape Plan.
Members of the Subcommittee stated that the following aspects of the Project appeared to be
generally acceptable:
1. ProjHct program and land uses;
2. Location and organization of the towers;
3. Location and organization of the parking garages; and
4. Wrapping of the residential units around the garage
MEETING NOTES
Presentation:
1. Jack Myers presented a proposed plan modification program, which included 669,408 square
feet of commercial office space, 48,438 square feet of retail space, and 220 on-site market-
rate unit2, 32 on-site BMR and 44 off-site BMR units. The retail space featured grocery store
of 21,088 square feet contained at grade within the residential component. 2,529 parking
spaces are included in the plan. Project site coverage has been reduced to 8.24 acres with
the balance of the remaining land offered to the City (12.16 acres) for future park and open
space.
2. Craig Hartman and Cliff Lowe presented the master planning (March 1,2006 drawings) and
concepts for access, circulation, phasing, landscaping, concepts for "The Point" and location
and massing of the towers and parking.
3. Randy Shortridge presented the concepts for the residential component, particularly the
massing of the tower, the BMR units that wrap the garage, the retail grocery, service, access
and egress, parking and circulation.
4. Michael Duncan and Craig Hartman presented a curtain wall concept and its kinetic (motion
and color) relationship to the Project's context and also its relationship to the colors of San
Bruno Mountain.
Comments & Concerns from the Subcommittee:
Marty Romero:
1. Would like to see the BMR and market-rate units mixed more evenly in the tower and
podium.
2. Would like more retail and less office to be considered. Concerned that the retail
component has been dramatically reduced.
3. Does not want SSF to be a "test case" for a curtain wall and would like to see examples
of similar built curtainwalls. He thought the idea had "a lots of potential".
4. Not convinced that the massing of the buildings fit into San Bruno Mountain.
5. Would like to see the project have "more vision"....more connection with the mountain.
6. Seems the benefits to SSF are unclear and wants to understand better the fiscal benefits.
(MDC: the fiscal impacts study is beinq completed to reflect the financial benefits for SSF.
Beyond that, In lieu fees for child care, a Performinq Arts Center, restoration of the Point
and 12.2 acres of the site will be dedicated to the Citv as Park.
Judy Honan:
1 . Has major concerns over traffic impacts - especially at the main entry and on Bayshore
BoulE3vard. Is concerned about having only one entry to the project. (MDC: a service
road is provided opposite from the hook ramps and the buffer parcel will be deeded to
SSF. Traffic consultants have revealed that the entry solution works.)
2. Has concerns about providing enough parking for the grocery store users. How will it
really work?
3. Asked how the office curtainwall will tie into the residential tower and podium. Wants to
make sure that the buildings and the phasing architecturally intertwine.
4. Asked about the mix for BMRs. (MDC: approx. 60% 1-BR and 40% 2-BR.) Note: The
actual mix is 66% 1-BR and 34% 2-BR.
Mary Giusti:
1. Asked how the landscaping concept related to the existing landscaping at Mandalay
Pointe along Sister Cities Boulevard. (MDC aqreed to take a look at this with Cliff Lowe
prior to the next meetinq.)
2. Has concerns about access from northbound 101 and Bayshore Boulevard.
3. Asked where the off-site BMRs will be located. (MDC: The off-site BMRs will be in SSF
and may be senior housinq, but it would have to be worked throuqh with planninq staff.)
Karyl Matsumoto:
1. Asked if the residential and office will be built at the same time. (MDC: the timinq of each
component depends whollv on market conditions. The stronqest current market support
is for more residential. Office demand is returninq to this sub-market. The office
component has been broken into two parts to enhance the opportunity for incremental
development of the office.)
2. Concerned about access to the Project from 101 in light of development in Brisbane.
3. Concerned about providing enough parking for grocery users.
4. Initially said the proposed office curtain wall was not appropriate for this site next to San
Bruno Mountain, but later, upon reflection, said she has "no problem" with incorporating
it.
5. Does not like and would not support the square massing of the office towers. Would like
to sel9 architecture that responds to the mountain.. ..something with curves.
6. Would like to see more detail on the residential tower.
7. Has concerns about traffic congestion at the entrance.
Joe Fernekes:
1. Asked what we intend to build first. (MDC: residential may likely be first, but it's possible
that the North Office Tower and correspondinq retail could be built around the same
time... ..dependinq on pre-Ieasinq success.)
2. Concerned about creating more benches on The Point. (MDC: there will be no new
benches. )
3. Concerned about what will grow on The Point.. ..be certain to define a real plan that will
work.
4. Does not like the rectilinear massing of the office towers.
5. We want to see signature buildings.
6. Not keen on the current SaM curtain wall concept.

EX-ECUTIVE SUMMARY
(
r
Genentech's South San Francisco's Central
Campus is the birthplace of biotechnology.
Since the company's start in 1976, it has found
it's South San Francisco location able to meet
and respond to support the rapid changes
and growth of the biotech industry. In 1995
Genentech worked with the City of South San
Francisco to prepare a Master Plan to guide the
company's growth. The Master Plan is updated
to guide the growth and development of the
Central Campus anticipated in the next ten
years. The Central Campus is in addition to
and separate from property that Genentech
leases or will lease in South San Francisco and
to development of other Genentech-owned
properties that are not adjacent to the Central
Campus.
('
r
r
r
r
('
r
(
(
The Master Plan outlines a potential expansion
that would allow the Central Campus to grow
to approximately six million square feet during
the ten-year planning period. This expansion
represents a 200 percent increase in space
compared with the current Central Campus
development. The Master Plan indicates
that Genentech will meet its potential space
requirements by both the re-development
of buildings that Genentech currently owns
and occupies and by the re-development
of expansion property that Genentech has
recently acquired or may acquire in the ten-year
planning period.

Master Plan Key Features::
· Genentech is proud to maintain and expand
its headquarters in South San Francisco
while creating a safe and inspiring work en-
vironment.
· Genentech facilities will allow for growth
of up to six million square feet, and a total
Central Campus area growth of up to 200
acres.
· Growth at the South San Francisco Central
Campus will emphasize office and research
and development uses.
· Overall building intensity will remain simi-
lar to current (2005) densities.
· Genentech will continue to rely on leased
facilities, such as the Gateway and Britannia
East Grand Campuses.
· Future growth will be consistent with goals
and policies of the East of 101 Plan and the
South San Francisco General Plan, which
encourage development and expansion of
biotechnology research and development in
the East of 101 area.
· Site planning, building design, and land-
scaping will continue to be a priority for all
Campus development.
· Quality design standards will emphasize
maintaining views of the San Francisco Bay,
San Bruno Mountain, and other scenic fea-
tures.
· Genentech will continue to be a regional
leader and committed to a comprehensive,
effective TOM program to promote employ-
ees using modes of transportation other than
single occupant vehicles.
· Genentech will assure that adequate parking
for employees, contractors, and visitors will
be provided, understanding the balance be-
tween encouraging non-auto travel and ac-
commodation of known parking demand.
· Public access to the Bay Trail and the Wind
Harp sculpture will be maintained.
· Genentech will fund its proportionate share
of infrastructure improvements necessary to
accommodate the Central Campus growth
and development.
Genentech looks forward to a continued
partnership with the City as Genentech expands
to meet its growing demand for new research
and product development.

1.1 Scope And Purpose
Genentech-the world's first biotechnology
company-was founded in 1976 and is
headquartered in South San Francisco. A fully
integrated biotechnology company, Genentech
employs a wide range of functions at its
campus, including research and development,
manufacturing and distribution, and marketing
and administration. In recent years, Genentech's
activity in the biotherapeutic industry has
increased exponentially with multiple new
discoveries and products.
The Master Plan primarily focuses on the
properties within the Genentech Research
and Development Overlay District (Central
Campus) in South San Francisco. The Plan also
addresses other Genentech locations in South
San Francisco as it relates to transportation and
parking. The Master Plan, once adopted by the
South San Francisco City Council, serves several
purposes. The Plan:
· Articulates vision and policies that will
serve as a general guide for the placement
and design of individual buildings and
other campus elements, as well as an overall
development program to provide the basis
for future approvals.
· Fosters development of a campus befitting
its setting on the city's eastern bayshore,
that capitalizes on views and access to the
waterfront.
· Promotes alternatives to automobile
transportation to further the City's
transportation objectives by emphasizing
shuttles, linkages, transportation demand
management, and pedestrian access and ease
of movement between buildings.
· Establishes the basis for the zoning provisions
to be contained in an amended Genentech
R&D Overlay District.
· Provides design guidelines that are proposed
to be enacted after adoption of this plan and
that will serve as a basis for design review
and approval for development in the Master
Plan area.
Because of the long-range nature of the Master
Plan, flexibility during implementation is
essential. Therefore, the Master Plan does
not establish the location, size, or design of
individual buildings, which will follow over the
course of the next ten years. The emphasis in
the Master Plan is on policies that will achieve
the purposes described above.
Project Background
In 1995, the City of South San Francisco
adopted the Genentech Corporate Facilities
Master Plan (1995 Plan) to provide an integrated
framework for development of Genentech-
owned properties at the city's eastern bayshore
into a corporate campus. The Genentech
Research & Development Overlay District
(Overlay District), established as Chapter 20.40
of the South San Francisco Municipal Code,
was adopted concurrently with the 1995 Plan.
The Overlay District specifies Floor Area Ratio
(FAR), parking ratio, and other standards, and
review and approval procedures for development
within the district.
The 1995 Plan has provided a framework for
campus building; however, the Plan is nearing
its horizon and useful life. Additionally,
Genentech now owns a sizably greater area than
it did in 1995. The broader context has also
evolved-the City adopted a new General Plan
in 1999; the East of 101 area has transformed
rapidly from manufacturing and warehousing
uses into a business and biotechnology center;
and the San Francisco International Airport has
a new master plan in place, along with changes
in allowable heights in the aircraft approach
zones. The transportation context has changed
as well-South San Francisco and San Bruno
have new BART stations, and relocation of the
South San Francisco Caltrain Station to facilitate
pedestrian and shuttle access is underway.
Additionally, in 2001, the City adopted an East
of 101 Area Transportation Improvement Plan
and Transportation Improvement Strategy, to
ensure that roadway and transit improvements
kept pace with development.

To guide transformation of the area, the City
adopted the East of 101 Area Plan in 1994.
The General Plan, adopted in 1999, sought to
further economic growth in the area; General

The area has been transforming for the past 30
years. Steel production and other heavy industries
have largely been replaced by warehousing
and research and development establishments,
in part spurred by the success of Genentech.
Development pace has picked up considerably
in the last decade.

Development Context
The traditional core of South San Francisco's
industry, the East of 101 area was originally
developed with meatpacking and heavy
manufacturing activities, facilitated by rail
access. In the 1930s, shipping emerged as a
major industry, as South San Francisco became
an adjunct facility to the Port of San Francisco.
In the post-war years the City converted
marshlands into areas usable for industrial
development, drastically reshaping the shoreline
and attracting light industry to the city for the
first time.

Project Location
The Master Plan area encompasses approx-
imately 200 acres. The 1995 Master Plan
included 72 acres and has since been amended
to 122 acres. The Genentech Campus, built
on and around San Bruno Hill-the highest
point in the East of 101 area-is visible from
downtown South San Francisco and has views
overlooking San Francisco Bay and many major
landmarks in the Bay Area. Figure 1.2-2 shows
the 2005 owned property included in the Master
Plan. The Planning Area is bounded by the San
Pacific Railroad (formerly owned by the Southern
Pacific Railroad) main line, and the San Francisco
International Airport. The regional location of
the City and the existing (2005) Overlay District
is shown in Figure 1.2-1.

Regional Location
The City of South San Francisco is located on
the west shore of the San Francisco Bay, in
northern San Mateo County. Built upon the Bay
plain and the northern foothills of the Coastal
Range, South San Francisco is strategically
located along major transportation corridors
and hubs, including US 101, Interstates 1-280
and 1-380, BART and Caltrain, the Union
1.2 Location And Context
This ten-year Master Plan responds to these
changed conditions and Genentech's projected
growth needs, creating an overall framework for

The City of South San Francisco Municipal
Code designates the areas in which the
Genentech Campus and facilities are located as
Planned Industrial (P-I). The P-I zoning district
(Chapter 20.32) establishes permitted uses,
height, bulk, and space standards for all land
designated P-I. The P-I zone is applied to land
intended for research and development uses.
The provisions of the Master Plan are designed
to be consistent with the P-I zoning district.

The City of South San Francisco Municipal
Code also provides that the Genentech Campus
is governed by the Genentech Research and
Development Overlay District (Chapter
20.40). This designation is in addition to the
P-I designation. The purpose of the Genentech
Research and Development Overlay District is
to implement the Master Plan by:
· Establishing a facility-wide architectural
character, a system of open space elements,
and a pedestrian and vehicular circulation
plan;
· Increasing the flexibility of the City's land use
regulations and speed of review procedures
to reflect the rapidly changing needs of
Genentech growth and development;
· Establishing facility-wide development
standards and design guidelines; and
· Defining a baseline of existing conditions for
all land classified in the Genentech Research

Environmental Impact Report
In accordance with the California Environ-
mental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared to assess
the potential environmental impacts of Master
Plan implementation. The Draft Master Plan
may be modified at the time of adoption by
the City Council to reduce or mitigate impacts
identified in the EIR. The EIR will then serve
as the environmental impact analysis for
future Genentech buildings and development
consistent with the Master Plan, for such time
and to the extent permitted by state law.
1.4 Plan Implementation
As the dominant employer in the area,
Genentech has a vital stake in helping achieve
the City's objectives of development of the East
of 101 area into an attractive hub of industry
and research and development. As a corporate
citizen, Genentech will contribute its fair share
of improvements to ensure that traffic in the
area flows smoothly, that streets and buildings
are well designed, infrastructure is upgraded,
and that impacts on the environment are
minimized. These factors will guide Master
Plan implementation, which will occur through
a variety of tools and processes:
· Buildings: Genentech will be responsible
in executing new building development
and design consistent with the Master Plan
guidelines, and will seek any required City
approval in accordance with procedures es-
tablished in the Municipal Code. Develop-
ment standards will be in accordance with
those established for the Campus under the
Municipal Code, principally the Genentech
R&D Overlay District.
· Urban Design and Landscape Improvements:
Genentech will be responsible for design-
ing and executing the improvements on the
Campus, consistent with the Master Plan
guidelines and applicable provisions of the
Municipal Code. The City will investigate
improvements to the public rights of way
that directly abut the Campus; Genentech
and the City will work together on design
and improvements for these rights of way.
· Transportation and TDM: Genentech will
be responsible for implementing Transpor-
tation and Demand Management (TOM)
programs, as established in the Master Plan.
Genentech will also contribute its fair share
of sub-regional improvements, in accordance
with policies in the East of 101 Area Trans-
portation Plan.
· Utilities: Genentech will be responsible for
coordinating with utility providers, such as
PG&E and water suppliers regarding the
utilities that serve the Genentech-owned
properties in order to meet required per-
formance standards and necessary service
requirements. Genentech and the City will
work together in coordinating with such
utility providers.
· Environmental Review: In accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act,
an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will
be prepared for the Master Plan and the fa-
cilities and improvements contemplated
by it, and certified before ap-proval of the
Master Plan. Consistent with CEQA, it is
anticipated that for at least a five-year period
after certification of an the EIR for the Mas-
ter Plan and the facilities and improvements
contemplated by it, no additional environ-
mental review will be necessary for projects
that are fully consistent with the Master
Plan.
Subsequently, additional environmental re-
view may be required to supplement or up-
date the analysis in the EIR; the necessity
and nature of any such subsequent review
will depend on the nature of the proposed
project or amendment to the Master Plan,
and the applicable requirements of CEQA.

"IT III D
LAND USE AND STRUCTURE
The Genentech Campus supports a wide vari-
ety of functions--offices, labs, manufacturing,
and distribution facilities. With the campus ex-
pansion and increased development, an overall
structure for the campus-hierarchy, roles for
sub-areas within the campus, and their rela-
tionship to one another-is essential. Ensuring
that the campus has clear paths of arrival and
walkable connections between the neighbor-
hoods will be especially challenging given the
topography of the site.
r
The goal of this Master Plan is to create a struc-
ture that can guide growth, while providing
the necessary flexibility for a long-term plan-
ning horizon. Thus, the Master Plan focuses
on specific organizing themes that lay a foun-
dation for built form, connections, and loca-
tions of open spaces and amenities, rather than
defining precise building locations, shapes, or
forms. The Land Use and Structure chapter of
the Master Plan presents these themes through
campus-wide concepts and neighborhood-spe-
cific goals and strategies.
JJ:I II j II
J~~~~m-r.M!l~_~\I; i:)
The 2016 Master Plan focuses upon five
key design and development concepts:
Fostering development of distinct yet
inter-connected "neighborhoods," to
ensure a sense of community;
Maintaining and creating balance be-
tween open and built environments;
_ Maximizing use of views by careful sit-
ing and massing of buildings;
- Creating a network of pedestrian and
campus shuttle connections to facili-
tate movement between buildings and
neighborhoods; and
_ Fostering "Neighborhood Spines" con-
cept to connect employee amenities
and activity centers.

For more detailed discussion of character
and land use within each neighborhood, see
Section 2.3: Neighborhoods. Specific design
elements and guidelines are addressed in
Chapter 3: Urban Design.
· Strong connections will exist between
neighborhoods-both physically and
through the establishment of view cor-
ridors.
· Expanding upon the 1995 Master Plan
Central Spine concept in the Lower and
Mid campuses, Central Spines within
each neighborhood will be connected
along an overall pedestrian Campus
Loop.
Buildings will be clustered or aligned
along a central space or spine.
Amenities such as cafeterias and park-
ing will be distributed amongst the
neighborhoods.
A mix of uses and ground level activi-
ties will increase employee gathering
and interaction opportunities.
10 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
Each neighborhood will playa distinct
role in the function of the campus, dic-
tated by both geography and mix of
uses-for example, the Lower Campus
serves as the principle production zone
of the campus because of its manufac-
turing core.
.
The concept of neighborhoods was a major
guiding theme of the 1995 Corporate Facilities
Plan, and is an established feature of Genentech
Campus planning. With its varied functions,
large land area, and growing population,
Genentech has emphasized the need for
neighborhoods to ensure a human scale and sense
of place within the larger campus environment.
The Master Plan adds new neighborhoods to
the original Genentech Campus. Principles
for the further development of both new and
existing neighborhoods include:
.
Neigh borhoods
As organizing elements, neighborhoods provide
the foundation for distinct functions and
environments within the campus structure.
Each neighborhood will possess a distinct
character and identity, but will be connected
to the overall campus through a network of
open spaces and circulation (Figure 2.1-1).
New development within each neighborhood
will serve to enhance the existing character
and further define open spaces, entries, and
connectivity.

Open Space Network
Genentech's distinct natural setting is a major
defining feature of the campus. With the
San Francisco Bay shoreline, San Bruno Hill,
and Wind Harp Sculpture Park all within
the Genentech Master Plan area, the campus
houses multiple opportunities for recreation
and open space connections. Views and access
to the dramatic physical environment are
important tools in organizing and guiding
new development, and will be discussed in
further detail in Chapter 3: Urban Design. As
campus facilities are added, open space will
be a key element of design, especially along
neighborhood Central Spines.

For further discussion of the pedestrian net-
work, see Chapter 3: Urban Design.
Secondary Circulation
· Pathways between neighborhoods outside of
the Central Loop or connections to the cam-
pus street network are secondary in nature.
They often pass between or within building
clusters or traverse challenging topography
and weather conditions.
· These connections are primarily between
neighborhoods and major nodes or public
open spaces including the shoreline and ex-
isting parks, campus amenities, and major
parking garages. They will incorporate the
City's plan for bike paths and pedestrian ac-
cess to the bay.
Major Pathways
Campus Loop
· The Campus Loop is a continuous, off-street
formal pathway connecting the Lower, Up-
per, Mid, and West campuses.
12 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
The Genentech pedestrian network is
comprised of two distinct elements-primary
connections such as the Campus Loop and
major pathways to open space amenities; and
more informal secondary circulation between
and within buildings and neighborhoods.
Principles for formal pedestrian circulation are
described in terms of the Campus Loop and
Major Pathways. These pathway designations
are described as follows:
While campus-wide and neighborhood
connections are more efficient and direct in
nature, pathways can also be designed to be
contemplative or to enable jogging/running,
and can help promote connections to the
bayfront and the Point San Bruno Park. These
different typologies form a rich, multi-layered
circulation network, offering multiple choices
for movement and experiencing the campus.
A strong pedestrian network is essential to
ensure an integrated and walkable campus.
The coordination of pedestrian movement with
shuttle bus stops will enhance neighborhood
and campus connectivity. Likewise, clear and
well-designed pathways, signage, and design
of buildings can increase the coherence of the
campus. Site elements such as trees, paving, and
seating/benches can further define the character
and role of pathways.

2.2 Land Use and
Development Program
r-
Genentech's South San Francisco campus is
expanding, both in terms of population and
building space. New property acquisitions have
created a foundation for redevelopment and
additions to existing facilities. Company-wide
Genentech has approximately 9,900 employees
as of September 2005, of which approximately
6,500 are located in South San Francisco.
Growing demand for further research and
products in the biotechnology field sets the stage
for continued growth in Genentech's future.
,-.
As a company that is expanding and adjusting
to new demands, the Campus is continually in
a state of change, with multiple development
projects underway or planned for the near
future. This Master Plan follows the goals
and objectives of the 1995 Master Plan to
help guide the expansion of the Campus as
well as strengthen the character of existing
neighborhoods.
Planning Area
The Master Plan allows for an area of
approximately 200 acres. As shown in Figure
2.2-1, the Genentech Central Campus (in 2005)
extends over 160 acres; of which, approximately
124 acres are in the Genentech R&D Overlay
of the South San Francisco Municipal Code.
In addition to the Master Plan area, Genentech
currently has significant leased space at the
Gateway Business Park and Britannia East
Grand development which is currently under
construction. Genentech also owns 16 acres
referred to as the Bay West Cove property. This
Master Plan focuses on the Central Campus
within the R&D Overlay and Planning Area,
including Lower, Upper, Mid, and West campus
neighborhoods. When Genentech purchased the
Bay West Cove property it already had approval
for development of 623,000 square feet. It is
Genentech's plan that the development of this
property will be consistent with the approved
Owner's Participation Agreement.
The Gateway, Bay West Cove, and South
campuses are not included in the R&D overlay.
However, they are addressed as they relate to
transportation and connectivity issues.
Existing Development and Opportunity
Sites
Existing Development
The current Genentech Central Campus (160
acres in the Master Plan area) consists of 3.5
million square feet of building area, of which
roughly 2.8 million square feet are occupied by
Genentech within the 2005 R&D Overlay. The
remaining properties have tenants with varying
lease terms. Table 2.2-1 shows existing (2005)
land and building area by neighborhood-
Lower, Mid, Upper, and West; and Tables 2.2-
2 and 2.2-3 show the distribution of building
uses within each neighborhood.

Land Constraints
Genentech maintains a detailed inventory
of existing land use and development.
Opportunity sites for redevelopment and new
facilities are defined according to forecasted
needs and site availability. Aside from existing
and newly-developed properties that are
targeted to be redeveloped, many natural and
regulatory constraints help guide Genentech in
its redevelopment efforts:
r-
· Views to the shoreline and across San Fran-
cisco Bay, Mt. Diablo, San Bruno Mountain,
and the Wind Harp sculpture;
· Geological limitations, including San Bruno
Hill ridges, the shoreline and bluffs, and shore-
line land fill; and
r-
· Height limitations, as regulated by the Federal
Aviation Agency, or FAA (see Chapter 3: Ur-
ban Design, Building Massing and Scale).

The expected growth of the campus to 6 mil-
lion square feet of building space on 200 acres
would result in an overall R&D Overlay Dis-
trict FAR of 0.69. Within the campus, develop-
ment intensity will vary in each neighborhood
in response to availability of developable land,
turnover of existing development, the Master
Plan growth strategy, and natural constraints.
Maximum FARs of each neighborhood will
not exceed 1.0, with an overall R&D Overlay
maximum FAR of 1.0. Building heights and ty-
pology within each neighborhood will further
dictate the development intensities throughout
the campus. Tables 2.2-5 and 2.2-6 describe the
projected 2016 distribution of uses and build-
ing area within each neighborhood and the re-
maining expansion area of the Master Plan.
As the distribution of uses evolves towards
a greater percentage of office and laboratory
buildings, the campus will incorporate greater
population densities. Table 2.2-4 compares the
expected 2016 distribution of uses with the exist-
ing 2005 distribution.

--'
Development Projections
At buildout, Genentech expects to almost dou-
ble its 2005 building area from 3.5 million to
approximately six million square feet of build-
ing space. This development will occur on the
R&D Overlay area currently at 160 acres and
assumed to expand up to 200 acres. All these
projections are subject to many factors that will
affect whether the potential development is in
fact realized, and, if so, when various aspects of
such development may be constructed.

Redevelopment of multiple opportunity sites
within this neighborhood, both along the
Central Spine and along the Bay shoreline,
will redefine the neighborhood as a multi-use
research, development, and manufacturing
core of the campus. With its key location off
of Gull Road and Forbes Boulevard, the Lower
Campus will command a strong role within the
overall campus and mark the main entry node
to the Central Spine and Campus Loop. These
functions and related design elements of the
Central Spine and Lower Campus are described
in Chapter 3: Urban Design.
Character and Use
Lower Campus houses offices, laboratory,
manufacturing, and warehouse buildings, and
has direct access to natural amenities such as
the Bay Trail and San Bruno Point. As the land
use structure of the entire Genentech Campus
evolves with changing needs and activity
focuses, the more industrial nature of the Lower
Campus will change in emphasis and form.
20 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
Lower Campus
The Lower Campus neighborhood has direct
access to the Bay Trail and views across the bay.
One of two major gateways into the campus,
the Lower Campus neighborhood comprises the
northern edge of the Genentech Campus along
Forbes Boulevard, from west of Gull Road to
the northeastern shoreline. To the south, the
neighborhood is bordered by the San Bruno
Hill ridge and the Upper Campus above. The
Lower Campus Central Spine runs through the
middle of the neighborhood, parallel to Forbes
Boulevard, and serves as a pedestrian pathway
and the service vehicle route for manufacturing
and distribution uses.

· Establish a strong Genentech identity
and skyline with new development
along San Bruno Hill.
Character and Use
The Upper Campus will serve as center of the
campus with primarily administrative offices.
Redevelopment will focus upon external place-
making, views, and internal campus amenities,
providing the foundation for an active Central
Spine in Upper Campus. In addition, the
Upper Campus will serve as the primary
population center for the campus, with the
greatest amount of intensity focused along the
hillside to both capture views and define the
Genentech Campus with a strong identity and
skyline.
22 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
The Upper Campus has emerged as the
geographic center of the Genentech Campus,
the Upper Campus neighborhood occupies the
highest point of development on San Bruno Hill
and is visible from US 101 and much of the East
of 101 area. The campus' high vantage point
provides expansive views to the San Francisco
Bay and beyond, including San Francisco and
Mt. Diablo on clear days, as well as San Bruno
Mountain and Sign Hill to the west. Of the
neighborhoods directly abutting the Upper
Campus, the Mid and West campuses are most
accessible while the Lower and South campuses
are separated by steep topography. Although
the Upper Campus is land-locked, there are
tremendous bay views to the north and south
along the hillside. The neighborhood also
possesses a significant connection to the Wind
Harp public park. Located at the top of San
Bruno Hill, the Wind Harp art sculpture and
park are connected to the Upper Campus by a
pedestrian pathway off of Grandview Drive.

the Spine in to the center, new development
will reinforce existing connections and create

and open spaces.
24 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
Mid Campus
Advantageously located along the San Francisco
Bay shoreline and bluffs, Mid Campus has
unobstructed views across the bay. The Bay
Trail continues through the neighborhood and
provides views and open space at San Bruno
Knoll. The Mid Campus is somewhat isolated
geographically from the rest of the campus.
Like the Upper Campus, the area is separated
topographically from the neighboring Lower
and South campuses.

-/
(~~IEiI!'~I~~ ~~I~ )
· Develop West Campus as the major
southern and western gateway into
the Genentech Campus.
-/
The West Campus geography and location
define the intensity of development possible
within the neighborhood. Greater FARs
and building heights are possible along the
western edge of the neighborhood, where lower
elevations are substantially below those of the
adjacent Upper Campus. The higher elevations
within the neighborhood are both limited by
Federal Aviation Administration regulations
and the need to maintain a view corridor to the
Wind Harp sculpture.
Character and Use
The separation from the rest of the Genentech
Campus necessitates a more independent role
for West Campus in terms of use and campus
activities. Connections to the rest of campus
will be along Grandview Drive and the Campus
Loop (Figure 2.3-4). With its strategic location
at the busy intersection of Grandview and East
Grand, West Campus will serve as a major
point of entry. Landscape, open space, signage,
and building alignments along Grandview will
further emphasize this entry point.
26 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
The West Campus is a new addition to the
Genentech Campus, with much of the property
acquired in 2004 and 2005. Bordered by East
Grand Avenue to the south, Allerton Street to
the west, and by San Bruno Hill to the east, this
neighborhood's only direct adjacency to other
parts of the campus is to the Upper Campus
along a relatively steep ascent on Grandview
Drive. The Campus Loop on the western base
of San Bruno Hill connects the West Campus
to Lower Campus. As a result of its limited
connectivity, West Campus is relatively isolated
from the rest of the neighborhoods, though it
will serve as a major gateway to the campus
from East Grand Avenue.

URBAN DESIGN
,-.
r-

,..
Genentech's unique setting and spectacular
views of the San Francisco Bay and the region
define the campus as a major focal point
within the East of 101 Area. The Master Plan
capitalizes on natural and recreational assets of
the site, using topography and views to create
distinctive connections, gathering spaces, and
campus identity. However, campus continuity
and accessibility are challenged by steep terrain
and high winds that accompany its hilltop and
bayshore location. In response to the campus'
setting, urban design themes in this chapter
focus upon connectivity, views, character, and
pedestrian experience.
D1!Jm OCG1trIDli!liI!@i3
~
I
.
The following provide direction for de-
veloping the overall campus structure
described in the previous chapter:
Maximizing the waterfront and hi\1top
setting of the Genentech Campus;
Facilitating pedestrian connections
and accessibility along major campus
corridors;
Fostering vital and active pedestrian-
oriented Central Spines within each
neighborhood;
Ensuring that development capital-
izes on view corridors and fosters a
human campus scale;
Promoting felixibility to respond to
long-term horizon and ensuring that
the campus' development potential is
realized; and
Providing the basis for specific archi-
tectural, landscape, and site design
guidelines.
Genentech Central Campus Master Plan I 29
--'
'-'
Landscape elements and responsiveness to set-
ting are also key issues in street design and char-
acter. A unified landscape palette will knit the
campus together: Consistent unified tree plant-
ing and street treatments along public streets
will promote continuity, distinction, and iden-
tity for the Genentech Campus.
...;
-'
Streetscape design and character will need to
reflect the desired multi-modal campus circula-
tion system, with greater accessibility for pedes-
trians between campuses as well as neighboring
businesses. Public streets are to accommodate
traffic, bicyclists, and shuttle stops. As shown in
a potential cross-section of Forbes Boulevard in
Figure 3.1-2. Wider sidewalks and pedestrian
crossings are recommended to foster pedestrian
comfort and safety, while maps and signage will
help orientation.
-../
Geographic expansion, increased development
intensity and increase in the number of people
using the campus will necessitate neighborhood
connectivity by bicycles, pedestrian paths, and
shuttles. Easy movement between neighbor-
hoods and buildings is key in fostering efficient
collaboration and productivity for employees.
.....;
../
-'
../
By 2016, the Genentech Campus is projected
to double in size, substantially increasing the
number of employees and visitors to campus.
Streets in the East of 101 area are largely de-
signed to facilitate automobile and truck move-
ment. As Forbes Boulevard and Grandview
Drive transition into the Genentech Campus,
the higher speeds and limited visability counter
pedestrian and bicycle accessibility.
Streetscape and Character
Streets are essential to campus identity, move-
ment, and pedestrian safety and comfort. Street
design includes a wide variety of elements, such
as sidewalks, medians, landscaping, site fur-
nishings, lighting, and pavement. Themes to
consider in creating an effective street design
include enclosure, continuity, character, rela-
tionship between pedestrians and traffic, shade,
wind, and light.
· Providing pedestrian crossings to Improve
safety as the campus grows.
· Connecting Point San Bruno Boulevard to
South Campus via a proposed private road
connection for service, shuttle, and emer-
gency vehicles; and
· Designating the Lower Campus Spine as a
pedestrian-oriented street with limited al-
lowance for service, delivery, and emergency
vehicles;
streets-like Point San Bruno Boulevard-are
informal in nature and are shared by pedestri-
ans, service and delivery vehicles, shuttles, and
automobiles. The Master Plan addresses new
connections between neighborhoods and pro-
vides direction for design of additional pedes-
trian crosswalks. These changes include:
30 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
In addition to the major streets within the cam-
pus, a secondary street network including in-
ternal private streets plays an important role for
service and freight movement. Some of these
Within the campus, circulation is focused
along four major streets-Forbes Boulevard,
DNA Way, East Grand Avenue, and Grandview
Drive. Both Forbes Boulevard and East Grand
Avenue serve as the main conduits to the Mas-
ter Plan Area from US-l Oland other parts of
the city, while DNA Way and Grandview Drive
provides the only through connection within
the main campus. Planned and implemented
traffic improvements to the Oyster Point Bou-
levard and East Grand Avenue interchanges
with US-101 further underscore the primacy
of Forbes Boulevard and East Grand Avenue as
major connections to campus. A potential fu-
ture extension of Railroad Avenue by the City
of South San Francisco would create a direct
connection to the Genentech Campus at East
Grand Avenue and Allerton Avenue.
Like the rest of the East of 101 area, the Ge-
nentech Campus street pattern evolved from
natural topography and landfill development.
Characterized by circuitous, irregular connec-
tions, the resulting system of streets provides
limited connectivity both within and to the
Genentech Campus.
Street Network
The Genentech Campus is comprised of two
major street networks: The primary street net-
work includes major connections to the East of
101 area and through streets within the cam-
pus; and the secondary, more informal street
network that includes access and private roads
that serve employee, shuttle, and service ve-
hicles. These networks, along with changes
to streets in the broader East of 101 area, are
shown in Figure 3.1-1.

These campus entry concepts are not intended
to limit access on public streets or hinder public
access to the Bay Trail.
The two major entrances in to the campus
are located at the intersection of Forbes Bou-
levard and Gull Drive in Lower Campus, and
at Grandview and East Grand Avenue in West
Campus (shown in Figure 3.1-1). The majority
of Genentech employees and visitors will enter
the campus at either of these two sites, with the
West Campus entrance possibly becoming the
primary entrance once the Railroad Avenue/
East Grand road extension is fully realized. (See
Section 4.1 for future road improvements.)
Currently, there is nothing to call these out as
gateways to the Genentech Campus. Special
streetscapes, signage, and landscaping will be
applied to emphasize the importance of enter-
ing the campus. Visitor Stations at campus en-
tries within existing or new buildings will also
serve as orientation devices for visitors.

3.3 Pedestrian Connections
r-
As described in section 2.1: Campus Structure,
campus circulation occurs at multiple levels.
Like the various street networks on campus, the
pedestrian environment is a layered system of
pedestrian pathways (illustrated in Figure 3.3-
1). In the Master Plan, the primary layer com-
prises both on-street and off-street pathways,
including sidewalks along Forbes Boulevard
and Grandview Drive, as well as the Campus
Loop. A major off-street circulation path, the
Campus Loop encompasses the Central Spine
circulation elements within each neighborhood
and the major pathways that connect them.
The neighborhoods will be further connected
to each other and the rest of the campus by a
secondary network of pathways.
Primary Pathways
Campus Loop
The Campus Loop includes the major circu-
lation routes within each neighborhood Cen-
tral Spine, as well as the connective elements
between them. As the primary connections
between neighborhoods, Campus Loop path-
ways will be identified through distinctive de-
sign of paving, landscaping, site furnishings,
and lighting. These elements will be consistent
within each neighborhood. However, variations
in design will occur in order to accommodate
specific uses and character of different neigh-
borhoods.
nm
On-Street Pathways
The primary pedestrian network helps facilitate
the movement of people throughout the cam-
pus and connect transit stops and parking facil-
ities with other campus destinations. On-street
pedestrian paths are comprised of sidewalks,
crosswalks, and shuttle stops.
Crosswalks and shuttle stops are key elements
of the on-street pedestrian network. Shuttle
bus stops and associated activities such as rid-
er-queuing and exiting will require site design
measures for safety. (For detailed Guidelines,
see Appendix A: Design Guidelines.)

36 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
New connections in the Master Plan provide
a combination of physical and visual linkages
to help pedestrians navigate between neigh-
borhoods. They include stairs and ramps to
traverse often formidable elevation changes;
enhanced site and pavement elements for
connections along the Campus Loop, Forbes
Boulevard, and Grandview Drive; and Central
Spine or walkways within each neighborhood.
With increased connectivity and accessibility,
employees will be able to cross to neighboring
campuses and amenities easily and efficiently.
These off-street pathways traverse hillsides or
streets to make direct connections between
neighborhoods and to major site elements such
as the Bay Trail and the Wind Harp Sculpture
Park (see Figure 3.3-1). This second tier also in-
cludes pathways that are more recreational in
nature, connecting to the Campus Loop, neigh-
borhoods, and natural assets via a network of I,
less-direct pathways along hillsides and bluffs.
This recreational element of the pedestrian net-
work offers an additional realm of experience to
the campus, serving as an asset for employees
and accentuating the natural setting and envi-
ronment of the campus.

Neighborhood-oriented Open space
Within the campus, a series of outdoor spaces,
including courtyards, plazas, and central
greens, define the Central Spines of each
campus neighborhood. Located in the heart
of each neighborhood and forming the nodes
of the Campus Loop, they are the most visible
elements of the open space network within
the campus. A series of open space transitions,
courtyards, and promenades, these spaces will
be active and open in response to their settings,
capitalizing on vistas and view corridors, as well
as proximity to amenities.

Passive and Connective Open Space
Additional passive spaces within the campus
include the bluffs and ridges along San Bruno
Hill. Part of the network of shoreline bluffs
that extends through the campus, these steep
slopes act as both dramatic backdrops and
foregrounds for the Lower, Mid, and Upper
campuses. Although these spaces are limited in
terms of occupation, the Master Plan establishes
key pathways and connections between
neighborhoods that allow employees and
visitors to experience the open space through
circulation and pathways.
More defined connective open spaces link major
open spaces to public amenities and primary
circulation paths through visual and physical
means. (See Figure 3.5-1.) Planned new green

View of San Bruno Point along Bay Trail.
The public open space adjacent to the Central
Campus is part of a regional network of parks
and trails. The Genentech waterfront area is the
"front porch" of the campus, with vistas across
the Bay to Mt. Diablo, San Francisco, and the
San Francisco International Airport. With a
dramatic landscape of bluffs and points, the
waterfront is an area for sitting, walking, jogging,
bicycling along the water's edge.
More of a visual icon within the campus, the
Wind Harp Sculpture and park are located
near the center of the campus at the top of San
Bruno Hill. Providing public access to the park is
essential in creating a varied and well-connected
open space network within the campus.
Public Open Space
40 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
Open Space Network
The Genentech Campus open space network, as
first defined in Chapter 2: Campus Structure,
consists of multiple open space designations-
public (such as the Bay Trail), passive (non-
developable bluffs), connective (landscaped
pedestrian connections between major open
spaces), and neighborhood-oriented (plazas,
courtyards, etc.).
Campus landscape design starts at the edge of
the San Francisco Bay and the Bay Conservation
and Development Commission's (BCDC)
Bay Trail. The planting palette is a carefully
designed balance between California native
and Mediterranean plants, creating a California
coastal aesthetic. When planted in natural
flowing patterns, an informal design character
for the perimeter surrounds the neighborhoods
and extends to meet many of the pedestrian
spines.
More formalized landscape design exists within
the neighborhoods and along major pedestrian
and open space connections. Key opportunities
for distinctive design features in the Master
Plan include neighborhood Central Spines and
open spaces. Within this primarily informal
landscape network are the 4,200 linear feet
of natural bluffs and steep slopes that provide
opportunities for views, pedestrian circulation,
and passive recreation.

Pedestrian scale can be achieved with street-level
entrances and fenestration, canopies, contrasts
in wall treatment, horizontal articulation, and
varied landscaping. Articulating and stepping
back higher floors of taller buildings allows
greater sun exposure and views and minimizes
overall building mass at the ground level.
Detailed standards for massing are given in the
Urban Design Guidelines in Chapter 6.
.../
-"
'-'
Articulation and Streetwall
Variations in building massing, height, and
streetwall are essential factors of a pedestrian-
oriented campus environment. An intimate
scale of development can be achieved through
horizontal and vertical articulation-varied
building heights within neighborhoods or
building clusters, recesses and projections,
window articulation and treatments, and roof
forms contribute to overall campus texture
and character. Building articulation and visual
interest are especially important for large
floorplate structures such as those needed
for R&D and manufacturing facilities with
significant massing along the street or Central
Spine level.
-'

--'
Strong consideration of views and access to
natural light will be given in the size and
locating of new buildings. Additionally, building
placement and site configuration will maximize
and consolidate occupiable open space with a
maximum lot coverage of 60 percent.
Building Scale and Setbacks
In addition to FAA standards, the Master Plan
keeps a maximum building height limitation
of 150 feet above ground level on buildings
within the campus. (Figure 3.7-1 shows FAA
height and noise standards, as well as the 60db
noise contour.)

This development structure is expressed in
terms of specific building and massing concepts,
including building heights, articulation, and
development scale.

This section addresses the overall scale and form
of development within the Genentech Campus
in terms of building heights, articulation, and
development scale. These elements of design
directly affect the overall campus environment
and identity, and will vary across the campus.
Accommodating differences in topography,
location, intensity, and land uses, the overall
massing structure of the campus addresses two
major development concepts:

Summer
The windy and often cool San Francisco Bay
climate plays an important role in defining the
character and design of the Genentech Cam-
pus. Situated at the eastern end of the San
Bruno Gap between the San Bruno Mountain
range and the Coastal Range, the East of 101
area experiences strong winds during the spring
and summer months, as illustrated in Figure
3.7-2. Afternoon winds can typically reach 25
knots, and combined with the cool bay air,
often create harsh and uncomfortable walk-
ing conditions within the Genentech Campus.
While intracampus shuttles offer pedestrians
alternatives to walking, shorter and more direct
pedestrian paths could expand the overall walk-
ability of the campus. To foster this pedestrian
movement, wind breaks and sheltered areas will
be key elements oflandscape, building, and site
design. Building design will also consider entry
conditions to buildings using landscape, revolv-
ing doors, or any other architectural solutions.
Wind

Seasonal Variability
Winds are strongest during the late spring,
summer, and early fall. Fall, winter and spring
mornings are usually calm, with light bay
breezes from the east and northeast. By early
afternoon, the wind fills in from the west and
increases in speed, decreasing again by early
evening. Summer winds are almost always from
the west, and can regularly gust to 30 knots.

The growth of the Genentech Campus will
increase the volume of people that come to
campus. The Master Plan includes projects
to support the projected traffic volumes and
programs to encourage the use of alternative
modes of transportation. The Plan includes
guidelines to ensure adequate parking for visi-
tors and employees, as well as convenient and
efficient movement between different campuses
and neighborhoods. A key element of accom-
modating these transportation needs will be
an effective combination of transit connectiv-
ity, Transportation and Demand Management
Programs, and parking efficiency.

This chapter outlines several initiatives that:
promote traffic reduction and alternatives
to automobile use; expand and improve the
shuttle program; improve parking; streamline
goods and service movement; and integrate the
Genentech Campus with the surrounding area
using a variety of modes. Each transportation
and parking issue presents existing conditions
and issues and develops goals and strategies for

Located near the San Francisco International
Airport (SFO), Genentech is connected to
regional transportation facilities primarily
through surface arterial streets and shuttle vehi-
cles. Figure 4-1 illustrates the campus location
in the context of the San Francisco regional
transit system. US-l 0 1, located less than one
mile west of the Central Campus, provides a
crucial linkage. The South San Francisco Cal-
train station is located less than one mile away
from the campus as well, and is currently pro-
posed to be relocated to enable shuttle pick-ups
directly from the East of 101 area. The South
San Francisco BART station-also connected

demand management (TDM) program
to minimize single-occupancy vehi-
cles travelling to campus throughout
the day, and that meets or exceeds
the South San Francisco Congestion
Management Plan and the City's TDM

· Local Streets. Local streets provide direct ac-
cess to abutting properties as their primary
functions. Local streets have no more than
two travel lanes.
-'
· Collectors. Collectors connect arterials with
local streets, and provide access and circula-
tion within neighborhoods. Collectors are
typically designed with two travel lanes,
parking lanes, planter strips, and sidewalks.
'-'
· Major and Minor Arterials. Arterials are ma-
jor streets that primarily serve through traffic
and provide access to abutting properties as
a secondary function. Arterials are generally
designed with four to six travel lanes and
major intersections are signalized. In South
San Francisco, there are two types of arteri-
als: major arterials and minor arterials. Ma-
jor arterials are typically divided (have raised
medians), have more travel lanes, and carry
more traffic than minor arterials.

Local Street System
Figure 4.1-1 illustrates the street system serving
the Genentech Campus and identifies roadway
classifications. This classification system
includes:

In addition to other recent improvements
to Oyster Point Boulevard, a new fly-over
ramp connecting southbound US-lOl with
eastbound Oyster Point Boulevard was opened
in 2004. This ramp bypasses traffic congestion
surrounding the Oyster Point interchange and
improves southbound freeway access to the
East of 101 area. As of 2005, no other freeway
improvements or modifications outside of
ramp metering have been planned for the area.
If and when ramp metering is implemented
at the freeway interchanges, traffic congestion
could be significantly altered near the freeway
interchanges on the local arterial street system.
'-"
...../
Automobiles on the Genentech Campus share the street
space with shuttle vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
The freeway system is made up of US-l 0 1
(Bayshore Freeway), a primary roadway that
connects San Francisco with 1-80 and the
East Bay to the north, and San Jose and the
Peninsula to the south. This freeway is accessible
through the Oyster Point interchange and the
Grand Avenue and South Airport Boulevard
interchanges to the west of Genentech's main
campus. Freeway speeds and capacities are often
slower during commute or peak periods due to
traffic congestion.
Regional Access
The South San Francisco Genentech Campus is
connected to the surroundings through several
arterial streets. East Grand Avenue is a primary,
east-west arterial street that accesses Downtown
South San Francisco and US-l 0 1. Gateway
Boulevard is a major north-south arterial street
that connects Oyster Point Boulevard to Grand
Avenue. Oyster Point Boulevard is another east-
west arterial street that accesses the north end
of South San Francisco, Bayshore Boulevard,
and the freeway.
used to accommodate growth conditions at the
eight study intersections outlined in the Cumu-
lative Conditions Alternatives discussion.

In Appendix B, figures and tables outline dif-
ferent techniques that are used to develop the
existing conditions, future volume forecasts, and
mitigation measures. The Strategies at the end of
the section incorporate the mitigation measures
· Future traffic volume forecasts and improve-
ments to help accommodate growth increases.
· Cumulative Conditions Analysis-a de-

cal intersections in proximity to Genentech's
Oyster Point, Gateway, and future Bay West
Cove campuses;
· A description of the surrounding street net-
work, including access routes from US-lO 1
and local streets around the Central Cam-
pus;
This section analyzes existing and future traf-
fic conditions at intersections surrounding the
Genentech Campuses in South San Francisco,
and includes:
Given the Genentech Campus' regional lo-
cation, automobiles will likely remain as the
primary form of access to the campus in the
forseeable future. As part of the Master Plan
preparation, a comprehensive analysis of traf-
fic operations in the East of 101 area was con-
ducted.

1 Level of Service, or LOS, is a qualitative desctiption of an
intersection's operation, ranging from LOS A (indicating
free flow traffic conditions with little or no delay) to LOS
F (representing over-saturated conditions where traffic
flows exceed design capacity, resulting in long queues and
delays).
..../
--'
Existing 2005 Traffic Conditions
Level of Service (LOS) 1 calculations for 16 study
intersections were surveyed in 2005. Analyzed
during the existing and buildout (cumulative)
AM and PM peak periods, the intersections
generally operate well during these hours. The
exception is intersection 14, at Airport Boule-
vard and Grand Avenue, which operates at an
LOS E and F during the AM and PM peak pe-
riods. Existing intersection volumes and con-
figurations of the 16 study intersections sur-
veyed for each traffic movement and approach

These improvements would enhance access
from the south via Airport Boulevard exit and
Gateway Boulevard, potentially making East
Grand Avenue a major access point to the
campus. However, no date for implementing
these improvements has been established by
the City, or listed in the Capital Improvement
Plan.

Planned Long-Range Improvements
The 1999 South San Francisco General Plan
proposes the extension of Railroad Avenue from
South Linden Avenue to Gateway Boulevard
(East Grand Avenue). The majority of the
road extension utilizes a current Union Pacific
railroad right of way. A new street connection
would provide an additional connection to the
Oyster Point area across US-101 and Caltrain
tracks (grade separation), and would likely be a
four-lane roadway (two lanes in each direction).
In addition, there is a proposed second stage to
connect the roadway with Allerton Avenue to
the east, therefore adding a new access route to
the Genentech Campus.
--'
'-'
Kaufmannn Court is a 40-foot wide, two-lane
private street within the confines of the Lower
Campus. The road provides access for service
and delivery vehicles, shuttles, and pedestrians.
Point San Bruno Boulevard is a two-lane public
street that ends in a cul-de-sac, providing
the main access to the Mid Campus parking
structure.
Cabot Court is a two-lane street that connects
Grandview Drive with Allerton Avenue. Vehicle
volumes are in excess of 1,200 vehicles per day
in both directions.
Gateway Boulevard is a four-lane major arterial
with a landscaped median that connects Oyster
Point Boulevard with East Grand Avenue and
South Airport Boulevard to the south. The street
serves multiple businesses within the Gateway
Redevelopment Area, including Genentech's
Gateway Campus. Average traffic volumes
range from 400 to 800 vehicles per hour during
the AM and PM peak commute periods.
Additional streets within or serving the
Genentech planning area include:
East Grand Avenue is a four-lane roadway that
carries approximately 3,000 vehicles per day
in both directions between Allerton Avenue
and, South Campus (Britannia East Grand).
The roadway provides direct access to South
Campus, as well as Grandview Drive and Forbes
Boulevard from the south. A major arterial
in the East of 101 Area, the street provides a
primary approach and entry to the Genentech
Campus.
Allerton Avenue, an entry to West and Lower
campuses, is a two-lane collector that connects
East Grand Avenue with Forbes Boulevard.
54 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
DNA way, a connection between Lower,
Mid, and Upper campuses, is fairly linear
and maintains the same street configuration
and speeds as Grandview. The street connects
with Forbes Boulevard and bisects the Lower
Campus at the eastern end of the Lower
Campus Central Spine. Daily vehicle volumes
are between 5,000 and 6,000 vehicles per day
in both directions. There are projects currently
underway to fill-in the missing sidewalk facilities
and add crosswalks at key locations to facilitate
access to new Genentech development. Street
design improvements and concepts for DNA
Way and Grandview Drive are discussed in
more detail in Section 3.1.
Grandview Drive, an entry to both West and
Upper campuses, is a two-lane arterial with 16-
foot travel lanes and speeds of about 30 mph.
It is a fairly hilly and curvilinear street that runs
through the heart of campus. There is an eight
foot on-street parking lane on the north side.
Vehicle volumes range from about 4,000 vehicles
per day near DNA Way to 5,500 vehicles per day
in both directions near East Grand Avenue.
Forbes Boulevard, the entry to the Lower
Campus, is a four-lane major arterial with
12 foot lanes and a center median, carrying
between 5,000 and 12,500 vehicles per day in
both directions. The roadway has vehicle speeds
of about 40 miles per hour (mph). Access to
the South San Francisco's arterial street system
is via Gull Drive, a north-south arterial street
that connects Forbes Boulevard to Oyster Point
Boulevard. (Streetscape improvements and
concepts for Forbes Boulevard are discussed in
Section 3.1.)

Trip Generation and Distribution for
Master Plan Buildout
Trip generation and distribution is used to fore-
cast traffic conditions at the maximum buildout
contemplated by the Master Plan. The method-
ology used for developing future traffic increases
is based on existing trip generation rates for the
Genentech Campus as shown in table 4.1-1. (As
noted in Section 2.2, these projections are sub-
ject to many factors that will affect the rate of
development and the order and extent of con-
struction.) Existing rates for typical AM and PM
peak hours were derived based on observations
of Genentech travel patterns during fall of 2004
r-
and spring of 2005, and are shown by land use
type in Table 4.1-2. Trip rates are combined with
future land use projections to develop a net in-
crease in traffic flow to and from the Genentech
Campus.
In addition to Genentech's growth, forecasts of
future traffic conditions include local and re-
gional background growth associated with other
developments that are likely to occur during the
same time period. Trip generation estimates for
background growth in the East of 101 Area are
based on the East of 101 Area Transportation Im-
provement Plan completed in 2003.

Cumulative Conditions Analysis
Cumulative traffic volumes with and without
the implementation of the full development
contemplated by the Genentech Master Plan
were developed in July 2005. Future increases
in traffic may increase travel delays at some loca-
tions in the East of 101 Area. Interchange oper-
ations will be particularly challenged due to the
projected magnitude of increased traffic at these
locations. In general, traffic volumes increase in
proximity to US-l Oland the Caltrain tracks,
where traffic from surrounding development is
channeled through limited crossings.
To develop a more refined estimate of future
travel patterns within the Genentech Campus
area, a trip distribution model was developed to
predict cumulative traffic conditions based on
future increases in parking supply (primarily
from proposed new parking structures). While
access routes to the campus are forecast to ex-
perience substantial increases in traffic volumes,
many of Genentech's internal streets will con-
tinue to have relatively low volumes of vehicle
traffic if future parking is effectively concentrat-
ed within the Genentech Campus. Existing and
future daily traffic volumes on the Genentech
Campus are illustrated in Appendix B: Figure
B-1.
Traffic at the gateways to the Genentech Cam-
pus are projected as follows: Volumes on Gull
Road between Oyster Point Boulevard and
Forbes Boulevard are expected to increase by 91
percent during the PM peak hour; Forbes Bou-
levard between Allerton Avenue and Gull Road
is expected to experience a 90 percent increase
in the PM peak hour; and East Grand Avenue
between Forbes Boulevard and Allerton Avenue
is expected to experience a 172 percent increase
in PM peak hour traffic.

Convert to a signalized intersection. An all-way stop may be an
advisable interim measure until such time as signal warrants

With signalization, as proposed, this intersection could function
adequately, but its efficiency and ease of use would be enhanced
by creating a right-angle intersection.

Shuttle
Campus shuttle services are provided through
several contractors. Off-campus shuttles ac-
cess South San Francisco BART station, Glen
Park BART Station, South San Francisco Cal-
train Station, as well as Genentech Campuses
in Vacaville and Redwood City. Shuttles con-
necting Genentech's campus with the Caltrain
and BART stations in South San Francisco are
provided by Genentech and the San Mateo
County Transit Authority.

Sam Trans is the transportation and transit au-
thority for San Mateo County. Its transit ser-
vices are both local and regional, but primarily
serve San Mateo County locations. The closest
bus stops to the Genentech Campus are located
along Airport or Bayshore boulevards and in
Downtown South San Francisco. Adding pri-
vate bus service in areas of high employee resi-
dential concentrations could encourage transit
ridership to Genentech. These potential region-
al shuttle routes are discussed in the following
section.
Bus
J
nentech, is located between South San Francisco
and SFO at the intersection ofI-380 and near El
Camino Real. Direct service to the Caltrain sta-
tion at Millbrae, San Francisco, and many East
Bay locations is provided throughout the day.
BART has reduced service on the Millbrae/SFO
extension and runs trains only from the Dublin/
Pleasanton line. As a result, Genentech has shift-
ed some of its shuttle service back to the Glen
Park station, which offers a faster, cheaper trip
for commuters and provides service to all BART
trains. Limited connections from the South San
Francisco Station and the Gateway area will
continue to be provided. (See Figure 4.2-3 for
BART shuttle routes).
In addition to Caltrain, Genentech employees
have access to BART, a regional, rail rapid transit
service provided by the Bay Area Rapid Transit
District (BART). In 2003, BART completed its
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) ex-
tension and opened its new station in South San
Francisco near EI Camino Real and the Kaiser
Permanente Medical Facility on the west side of
the City. The San Bruno station, also near Ge-
In the near future, the Joint Powers Authority
that runs Caltrain and the City of South San
Francisco is planning to move the South San
Francisco Caltrain station several hundred feet
to the south to greatly improve pedestrian, bike,
transit/shuttle accessibility, as well as passenger
waiting area and platform amenities.
The current Caltrain Station is located under-
neath the intersection of East Grand Avenue
and US-l 0 1. Only local and some limited
(skip-stop) trains stop at this station, approxi-
mately every hour to half hour. There are no
plans to have express (Baby Bullet) service stops
at this station now or in the future. It is most
probable that Caltrain will continue to de-
crease the number of local trains and increase
the number of limited and express trains. This
strategy could result in less service to the South
San Francisco station, though it would produce
higher ridership overall. Genentech will partner
with the City of South San Francisco to ensure
that service to the South San Francisco station
is not significantly decreased over time and that
express service is added. Meanwhile, shuttle
services to the closest Caltrain Baby Bullet stop
at the Millbrae Station should be explored to
encourage more employees to use Caltrain, as
illustrated in Figure 4.2-2.
Off-peak service is less frequent. Shuttle service
to off-campus locations is directed towards serv-
ing these rail stations.
58 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
The existing Caltrain station will be relocated to the
south side of Grand Avenue and will provide better con-
nections to local destinations.
Caltrain and BART provide rail transportation
services to a variety of regional destinations such
as San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. Service
frequencies average about once every 15 minutes
for BART and every hour for Caltrain in each di-
rection during the AM and PM commute hours.
Caltrain and BART
This section presents existing and proposed ser-
vices that access key regional and local transit
systems, including Caltrain, BART, SamTrans,
the Genentech shuttle system, and the future
Ferry system. In combination with Genentech
Transportation and Demand (TDM) programs
and parking strategies, these services will pro-
vide incentive for alternative modes of transit
to the Genentech Campus.
Genentech is not served directly by rail or bus
transit services. The nearest stations or stops are
several miles from the campus and East of 101
area. Pedestrian accessibility to these stops or
stations, especially across US-l 0 1, is poor and
inconvenient. Therefore, Genentech must rely
on supplementary shuttle services to connect
employees on campus with transit stops or sta-
tions off-campus.
4.2 Transit and Shuttle Services
III j II n
r-
r-
r-
,.....
The shuttle system also currently provides high
frequency service between Central Campus
neighborhoods and the Gateway Campus. This
intracampus shuttle service would expand to
other significant leased or owned properties
once it is developed and service any other fu-
ture leased or owned properties.
,-..
,.....
The Genentech Transit and Shuttle Plan for
2006-2016 addresses the need for a streamlined
shuttle system that improves rider productiv-
ity. Illustrated in Figure 4.2-4, the Plan shows
changes to the existing system that include:
combined routes; revised stop locations to im-
prove travel time; and expanded service to the
future South Campus (Britannia East Grand).
Existing shuttle services are rerouted along the
main roadway where they can travel most rap-
idly and avoid conflicts with autos, pedestrians,
and trucks that are inevitable in parking lots
and alleyways. The Plan therefore allows for
faster, more frequent, and more reliable shuttle
services that are easy to understand and acces-
sible within a three minute walk of all buildings
and parking spaces on campus.
,-..

In conjunction with these shuttle changes, up-
graded shuttle stop amenities such as informa-
tion, signage, route branding, pedestrian cross-
walks, and ADA accessibility also improve the
quality and accessibility of shuttle services.

In addition to local shuttle service, the Tran-
sit and Shuttle Implementation Plan includes
potential implementation of dedicated shuttle
services to off-campus destinations of high em-
ployee population such as San Francisco. Ge-
nentech will investigate demand for dedicated
regional shuttle services. Tables 4.2-1 and 4.2-2

Ferry
The San Francisco Bay Area Water Transit Au-
thority (WTA) has proposed a new ferry dock
and service for the City of South San Francisco.
This consists of new ferry service that access-
es Downtown San Francisco (Ferry Building)
and the East Bay (Alameda). According to the
WTA, the service will be provided every 30
minutes during peak periods and travel times
to San Francisco and the East Bay destinations
will also be 30 minutes. It is anticipated that
the service would commence sometime around
January 2008. (See Figure 4.2-1). The ferry ter-
minal is more than a half mile from the center
of the Genentech Campus, and will be con-
nected to campuses through shuttle service.

Walking And Bicycling
Genentech has over 100 private bike lockers
that can be reserved by employees. Locker re-
quests can be submitted on the Intranet site and
are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Guaranteed Ride Home Program
Genentech offers a guaranteed ride home to all
participants of alternative commute programs.
The Guaranteed Ride Home Program provides
a ride home in the event of an emergency.
Carpool and Vanpool Services
Carpools in the Bay Area consist of three or
more people riding in one vehicle for commute
purposes. Vanpools provide similar commuting
benefits as carpools, though a vanpool consists
of seven to 15 passengers, including the driver,
and the vehicle is typically leased by a vanpool
rental company such as VPSI or Enterprise.
TDM Programs
Genentech currently markets its TDM through
promotional programs and a comprehensive
transportation intranet site. To encourage and
assist employees in using alternative transporta-
tion, employees utilizing alternative modes are
qualified for the Guaranteed Ride Home Pro-
gram and pre-tax commuter benefits.
62 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
There is potential to boost the proportion of
Genentech employees who participate in high
occupancy modes through coordination, mar-
keting, and subsidies for dedicated shuttle,
vanpool and carpool programs, in conjunction
with altered parking operations. Marketing of
carpool/vanpool programs can be particularly
targeted toward neighborhoods with a high
concentration of Genentech employees.
These Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) programs will be audited through con-
ducting surveys on an annual basis to check
participation. Audits can be completed using
cordon counts, which would count entering
auto traffic, shuttle riders, bicyclists and pedes-
trians, or parking occupancy surveys. If partici-
pation rates are less than the target for the year,
Genentech will consider reassessing its strate-
gies to increase involvement.
Named as one of EPA's award-winning "Best
Workplaces for Commuters," Genentech of-
fers employees several programs as alternatives
to commuting by private automobile. In 2005,
Genentech conducted a detailed cordon count
that found that 23 percent of South San Fran-
cisco employees commuting at peak hours ar-
rived via carpool, vanpool, transit, bicycle, or
means other than driving alone. Genentech es-
timates that at least an additional 10 percent of
employees do not commute at peak hours.

! Table 4.3-1:- Genentech Transportation Demand Management Implementation Strategies
I
Structure
. Increase TOM staff with responsibility for maintaining, coordinating and implementing the Genentech
TDM program.
. Maintain a TDM Coordinating Committee, consisting of representative from the City and regional
transit agencies that meets on a regular basis to oversee progress toward attainment of the goals.
Preferential Parking
. Ensure the adequate availability of designated preferential, conveniently located car/van-pool
parking areas, including in on-street locations close to buildings where possible.
Pricing and Subsidies
. Maintain a coordinated program of parking pricing and transit subsidies that helps achieve
Genentech's overall parking and transportation demand objectives.
. Provide free or subsidized car-pool spaces.
. Partner with Van pool vendors for onsite service and consider subsidizing employee seats in vanpools.
Coordination
. Provide a car/van-pool matching service (could be web-based), particularly for neighborhoods that
have 50 or more Genentech employees within a five-mile radius.
r-
Transit
. Implement new shuttle and bus services between Genentech and San Francisco, Glen Park, Millbrae,
and surrounding areas, as discussed in Section 4.1: Transit and Shuttle Services.
. Provide guaranteed ride home in evenings to workers who use alternate transportation.
. Work with the City, SamTrans, and other agencies to provide convenient, comfortable, safe and
sheltered waiting areas for transit and car/van-pool users.
Bicycles and Pedestrians
. Explore providing secure and safe, and preferably sheltered, bicycle parking at new buildings.
. Locate bicycle-parking areas conveniently in relation to established bicycle routes and main building
entrances.

The parking requirement established in the
current Genentech R&D Overlay District is
1.6 spaces per 1,000 gross square feet (gsf) of
building area. This ratio was established based
on 1995 Master Plan ratios of2.5 spaces/l,OOO
gsf for office uses, 1.2 spaces/l ,000 for labora-
tory uses, and 0.9 spaces/l,OOO gsf for manu-
facturing and warehouse uses, and an assumed
distribution of building uses of 27 percent of-
fice, 40 percent lab, 25 percent manufacturing
and warehousing, and eight percent amenities.
This ratio includes an additional 10 percent
contingency to allow for minor variations in
uses and parking demand distribution.The ap-
proved zoning ordinance also allows parking
provision to be below the amount typically re-
quired by a factor of 0.95 for short term periods
of less than two years to allow for construction
and other short term uses. This rate served Ge-
nentech well until the percentage of office space
began to increase.

Working in combination with an effective
campus parking strategy, programs that
encourage employees to use alternative
modes of transit can reduce overall demands
for new spaces. As dicussed in section 4.3:
Transportation and Demand Management,
Genentech currently has an outstanding TDM
I Table_1:4-1: Parking Rate Calculation_
2001
Just as critical as the amount of overall parking
provided is how it is distributed across the
campus. Larger parking structures are easier to
design, build, and operate. However, if parking
is too far from place of work, shuttling may
be necessary, adding to inconvenience and
operational costs and complexity.
Availability of parking for employees and
visitors is vital to Genentech's operations.
However, Genentech needs to balance easy
parking availability at the campus with the need
to promote use of alternative transportation
modes by employees.
4.4 Parking
'-'
Parking Demand
Under the Master Plan, the actual parking de-
mand on campus is measured by planned chang-
es in growth and in multimodal transportation
services. The parking demand response is quan-
tified through standard demand elasticities that
are derived from research studies and empirical
observations.
program resulting in approximately 23 percent
of its peak hour commuters using alternate
transportation. During the next decade
Genentech has a goal to increase this percentage
to at least 30 percent, although it is conceivable
to exceed this goal in the next two years. Each
percentage point increase in the use of alternate
transportation due to the success of TDM
equals an approximate decrease in parking
needed by 120 spaces, or a rate of 0.02. This
decrease is incorporated into the calculation of
campus-wide parking demand.
III [II 01]
r'
Genentech evaluated actual parking need based
on the existing and projected development
within the Campus, and proposes that the
overall ratio be increased to 1. 8 spaces/I, 000
gsf. Derived from the previously approved ra-
tios listed above, Table 4.4-1 demonstrates that
a revised parking ratio of 1.8 stalls/l,OOO gsf
will meet parking needs through the year 2010,
even in light of the changes in building use
type on campus. In the latter years, we assume
that increased TDM will maintain this ratio.
Parking Provision
Table 4.4-2 shows the projected distribution of
parking by neighborhood. Parking will be con-
centrated within the campus in order to pro-
mote a safe internal pedestrian environment.
Parking structures will be accessible from major
entries and streets to provide direct and easy
access to campus buildings through dearly de-
lineated pedestrian pathways. This will improve
not only the visual appearance of the Central
Campus but also largely reduce the need for
vehicle circulation on and through the campus
itself.
To maximize economic efficiency, the develop-
ment process will include locating temporary
surface parking on future building sites. As
these parking lots are converted to buildings,
parking will be consolidated into parking struc-
tures. Parking in surface lots will be reduced
significantly but not eliminated.

Future Changes
Master Plan buildout projections estimate the
amount of employment and gross floor space
at Genentech will double, though manufactur-
ing uses will decrease from approximately 32
percent to 11 percent of Genentech's gross floor
space. The change in freight trips to Genentech
is expected to be roughly proportional to the
change in manufacturing floor space, while the
the number of service and goods trips is expected
to be proportional to the overall building area.
Therefore, total freight vehicle trips to and from
Genentech will not increase substantially, though
service and goods trips may experience an in-
crease proportional to overall building area.

Table 4.5-1 and Figure 4.5-1 illustrate service
and goods movements at Genentech. The figure
highlights existing and future warehouse/distri-
bution facilities and outlines paths of principal
service and freight goods movements. Minor
The majority of service, goods, and freight activ-
ities take place at Lower, Upper, and West cam-
pus hubs. Table 4.5-1 describes the distribution
of these activities at each main hub. The remain-
ing service vehicle activities are generally spread
throughout campus neighborhoods. These
service vehicles include Genentech vehicles as
well as outside contractors who often use light
trucks or vans.
Freight vehicles generally require special load-
ing docks and are commonly associated with
manufacturing buildings. In the 1995 Genen-
tech Master Plan, a freight activity survey indi-
cated that there were approximately two truck
trips generated daily for every loading dock.
Currently, there are 46 active loading docks on
Genentech's Central Campus, corresponding
to approximately 90 daily truck trips. I
Service, goods, and freight mobility is a vital
factor in Genentech's daily operations. It can be
especially critical to Genentech's research and
manufacturing activities. Using a diverse fleet
of vehicles with varying sizes and cargos, service
and freight vehicles typically access Genentech's
South San Francisco campus from nearby free-
way interchanges and local arterial streets such
as Oyster Point Boulevard and East Grand Av-
enue. Items such as hazardous or fragile materi-
als, perishable food products, and office supplies
have unique destination points throughout the
Genentech Campus.

Regional/Local Context
70 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
A new trail along the abandoned railroad right of way
offers the opportunity to connect the Genentech Cam-
pus with the Caltrain Station and Downtown South San
Francisco.
Although TDM measures encourage the use
of bicycles on campus, the number of bicycle
commuters is relatively low compared to transit
riders and automobile commuters. Challenging
topography, weather conditions, and difficult
access across US-l Oland the Caltrain tracks
are impediments to bicycle travel to and from
the Genentech Campus.

Fire requirements will be analyzed for each addi-
tional proposed building based on the size, type of
construction and fire sprinkler system associated
with the building. The fire Bow system require-
ments will be analyzed specific to each building
to determine if the local system can adequately
handle the fire Bow needs. If the local system is
found to be undersized or deteriorating, then the
pipelines will be modified by upsizing, new con-
nections, and/or by installing of pumps and tanks
to supply the new requirements.
All fire hydrants in the Genentech area have been
tested by the Fire Department for Bow and pres-
sure requirements. Based on that fire Bow test
data, the Fire Department has concluded that
several hydrants meet the fire Bow requirements.
(Table C-2 in Appendix C describes existing and
projected Bows.)
The delivery of water for fire protection to Ge-
nentech buildings uses the same network of pipes
as the domestic water system. Cal Water recently
installed a new 10-inch ductile iron high-pres-
sure line in Grandview Drive to improve pressure
to the buildings and fire systems for the Upper
and Lower campuses. There are several buildings
within the Genentech Campus that have water
storage tanks and/or fire pumps installed for local
pressure control. Tanks and/or pumps are being
added for some locations. A new fire main con-
nection will be added.
5.2 Fire Protection
741 Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
Domestic water use will increase as Genentech
expands its campus to replace existing warehouse
or office buildings with laboratory or manufac-
turing facilities. Based on Genentech's potential
growth, domestic water usage may increase by as
much as 30 to 40 percent over the next ten years.
Cal Water has indicated that it has the capacity
to supply Genentech's projected demand.
The water system at Genentech in the Upper
Campus is augmented by a 1.5 million gallon
storage reservoir on the top of the hill. The pipe
and Bow capacity for these pipes in their present
condition generally meet the current domestic
water Bow requirements. The average use fac-
tors of water consumptions per square foot of
occupied buildings are shown in Table C-l in
Appendix C: Utilities.
California Water Company (Cal Water) supplies
water to the Genentech South San Francisco
Campus. The mains entering the Genentech
Campus include a 12-inch line in Forbes Boule-
vard, a 12-inch line in East Grand Avenue, and
the new 10-inch high-pressure line in Grand-
view Drive. These piping systems are fed from
the Cal Water 18-inch main supply line located
along Highway 101.

The Water Quality Control Plant capacity has
been increased recently to 4 million gallons per
day (MGD). The updated Sewer Master Plan
is expected to confirm needed capacity for po-
tential future Genentech demand.
Based on the 2002 Carollo Sewer Master Plan
for the City's wastewater system, Pump Station
#8 (located in the heart of the Genentech man-
ufacturing area in the Lower Campus), with an
existing firm capacity of990 gallons per minute
(GPM), currently does not meet the existing
peak sewer discharge of 1100 GPM (refer to
Table C-3 in Appendix C). The City is in the
process of updating the Sewer Master Plan for
current conditions based on planned develop-
ment for the East of 101 area. Necessary sys-
tem improvements are identified in the Sewer
Master Plan and a program for implementing
the improvements established.
this growth. The potential increase in water us-
age, and thus sewer Bow rates, may also cause
several gravity sewer pipes, existing pump sta-
tions, and force mains to reach capacity in fu-
ture years. As a result, new development would
be required to provide upgrades to the existing
systems to meet the new demands.
76 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
The quantity of sewer discharge is directly re-
lated to domestic water use. This analysis as-
sumes that 95 percent of domestic water used is
converted to sewage, excluding direct irrigation
Bows. The exceptions are the boiler plants at the
manufacturing buildings which discharge 10
percent of the water to blow-down and the re-
mainder to evaporation. Based on Genentech's
potential growth, sewer Bows are expected to
increase by as much as 45 percent over the next
ten years. The wastewater collection system
will be upgraded as necessary to accommodate
The City of South San Francisco provides waste-
water collection and treatment for the Genen-
tech Campus. The City owns and maintains
the sewer piping system consisting of approxi-
mately 13 miles of six inch to 30 inch diameter
gravity sewer mains, nine pump stations and as-
sociated force mains, and the South San Fran-
cisco Water Quality Control Plant (WQCP).
The Genentech Campus sewer system is shown
in Figure 5.3-1. All of the Bows from South
San Francisco, including Genentech, and sev-
eral other cities are collected and treated at the
WQCP. Once the Bows have been treated, the
Bows are pumped through a 54 inch force main
located along Genentech's Lower Campus and
then discharged to the Bay at the end of Forbes
Boulevard and DNA Way.

The expansion of the Genentech Campus will
require new drainage structures and localized
on-site storm drain systems. Although it is
possible that the overall storm water discharge
may increase, this increase would be minimal
and could in fact be reduced in many areas due
to new storm water regulations. The general
trend at the Genentech Campus is the replace-
ment of existing buildings with taller buildings
and parking lots replaced with parking garages.
Therefore, it has been conservatively assumed
that the redevelopment of an existing building
with a future building will have a net result of
zero new drainage being produced. The devel-
opment of such additional storm drainage and
discharges to the Bay are subject to regulation
by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

As illustrated in Figure 5-4.1, Genentech's
storm drainage system is gravity flow and does
not require pumps to transport the flows. The
majority of the Genentech Campus consists of
developed land, with most of the area covered
with impervious surfaces including buildings,
and parking lots or structures--all have relative-
ly high run-off coefficients.
..../
..../
-'
The Genentech storm drainage system consists
of underground pipes and outfalls emptying
into the San Francisco Bay at various locations.
The pipes are reinforced concrete pipe (RCP)
or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The
outfalls to the San Francisco Bay are both above
and below the mean high tide water elevation
of 3.1 0 feet. Outfalls below the mean high tide
water elevation are likely to experience flooding
when a heavy storm event happens during high
tide water elevations.

PG&E has confirmed its ability to provide suf-
ficient capacity to accommodate the potential
83 percent increase in electrical loads that may
result from Genentech growth through the year
2016 (refer to Table C-3 in Appendix C).
Each building (or cluster of buildings) is me-
tered at either the primary or secondary rates.
Most buildings are metered at the secondary
480 or 208 volt rates. A single line diagram of
the electrical distribution system has been de-
veloped to assist in this planning effort.
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) also provides
electrical power to the Genentech South San
Francisco site. The underground 12.47 kV dis-
tribution system that serves the area is config-
ured in a looped network from the East Grand
Avenue substation. This enables PG&E some
flexibility to continue to provide service to
buildings through switching if probems are en-
countered with cabling.
5.6 Electricity
80 I Genentech Central Campus Master Plan
PG&E has recently proposed a change to the
gas service on this site by the installation of a
new six inch dedicated high pressure gas line
(15 PSI) from the north side of the property,
called the Gull Drive service, that will serve
the high pressure steam boilers. Existing steam
boilers that serve the Lower Campus will be de-
commissioned in 2006. This new service will
unload the existing Grandview Drive/Forbes
Boulevard loop and frees-up capacity to serve
future proposed buildings. Pacific Gas and
Electric (PG&E) has confirmed that it has suf-
ficient capacity to accommodate the potential
50 percent increase in natural gas loads that
may occur due to Genentech growth through
the year 2016. Refer to Figure 5-5.1 for the
natural gas distribution site plan.
The East Grand Avenue line was installed re-
cently to to serve the South Campus. This new
enhanced service connects to the existing loop
through the Point San Bruno Boulevard line
that ties into the Grandview Drive line.
· 8 foot Pipeline at East Grand Avenue
· 4 foot Pipeline at Forbes Avenue
· 3 foot Pipeline at Grandview
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) provides natu-
ral gas to the Genentech Campus. The high
pressure gas distribution system is metered at
each building and is configured in a loop sys-
tem that is served from three interconnected
underground pipelines:

The Mid Campus buildings are currently served
by utility systems located within the buildings.
With the growth anticipated at the Mid Cam-
pus, the current Master Plan anticipates a new
central utility plant to be added at the south
end of the Mid Campus. Centralized utilities
are planned to be chilled water, stream, com-
pressed air, and purified water. Centralizing
utilities provides greater energy efficiency, and
reduces the number of installed systems while
achieving some degree of peak load sharing be-
tween interconnected buildings.

pus buildings. The plants provide chilled wa-
ter, steam, and compressed air to the buildings
via a combination of underground and above-
ground pipe rack systems.

Central Utility Plants serve the Lower Cam-
· Emergency Power
· Waste treatment or neutralization systems
· Liquefied and compressed gas systems
· Purified water systems
· Refrigeration systems
· Hot and chilled water systems and related
systems
· Steam boilers and related systems
In Upper and West Campuses, all building util-
ity systems are expected to be directly associ-
ated with those buildings served by these utili-
ties. These related utilities will be housed either
within the facilities themselves, or in adjacent
screened utility yards. Any utilities shared be-
tween facilities will be either underground or
routed through the facilities themselves. Utili-
ties used on-site include the following:
The Genentech Campus is designed with cen-
tralized distribution of several primary utilities
between buildings for optimization of capital
investment as well as efficient operation of
equipment and related systems. Most areas of
the site allow for either underground or "in
building" distribution. However, operations
within the Lower Campus portion of the site
have required, and will continue to require, the
need for some above-ground linkage for some
primary utilities. This approach reflects the
more industrial nature of Genentech's opera-
tions within that portion of the Lower Campus.
The Mid Campus portion of the site is expected
to centralize utilities at a central utility plant.

Emergency Systems
All Genentech personnel receive training in
relevant workplace procedures and practices.
Genentech's EHS team and designated pro-
duction and research personnel also have ad-
ditional training in emergency preparedness
and response, and serve as first responders for
the entire campus. Genentech currently has an
Alternate Command Post (ACP) located in the
Upper Campus. This ACP is equipped with all
necessary emergency gear and equipment to al-
Iowa focus of emergency activities in the event
of a natural disaster such as a major earthquake.
Communications systems at the ACP include
appropriate special telephone lines as well as
HAM radio systems.
Data Communications
The Genentech facility data network consists
of a computer network, security system, and
fire alarm system. Each building is connected
to the data network by an underground duct
bank system. Mainframe computers are located
in various facilities. Security systems alarms and
fire alarms are reported to a central security op-
erations center.
Telephone
SBC Communications Inc. (SBC) provides
telephone service to Genentech. Telephone
lines are provided by SBC to each building via
SBC telephone network serving the area. Fu-
ture additional telephone service requirements
have been reviewed with SBC. The company
has indicated that it will provide sufficient ca-
pacity to accommodate Genentech's potential
expanSiOn.

Based on potential facility growth, Genentech is
investigating the feasibility of a Co-Generation
(Co-Gen). The Co-Gen plant would combine
primary power and secondary utility ge?eration
to support the Mid Campus expansIOn and
conversion of other existing utilities throughout
the campus to the new system. Co-Gen could
generate power independent ?~ the PG&E
during power outages. The faCIlIty could also
generate power when the cost is lower than
PG&E costs and would use waste heat from
power generation to produce steam for process
and heating loads.
5.10 Hazardous Materials and
Related Waste
Genentech's research, development and pro-
duction activities involve the use of a broad
array of equipment, processes, and materials.
These activities are also regulated by workplace
safety, quality assurance, and environme.ntal
laws, and Genentech is subject to inspectIons
and oversight by numerous federal, state and
local agencies.
In general, biotechnology companies ~ li~e
pharmaceutical companies, research ulllv:rsI-
ties and many leading hospitals - use chemICal,
radioactive, biohazardous, and other materials.
Wastes generated by these research, devel?p-
ment and production processes are also subject
to stringent legal requirements, and are man-
aged by Genentech's Environmental Health
and Safety (EHS) Department.
Usage and storage of appro~riate ~azar~ous
materials and related waste WIll contInue Into
the future with the procurement, use, storage
and disposal of these materials carefully con-
trolled. Although further usage is expected to
increase, the increase in usage would be roughly
proportional to Genentech's growth.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
"
Design Guidelines Concepts
Purpose of Building Exterior, Site, and
Landscape Design Guidelines
The purpose of the Design Guidelines is to cre-
ate a comprehensive set of guidelines that will
create a sense of identity and a unified cam-
pus. In 1995, Genentech established a set of
guidelines and principles that permeate the
following design guidelines. This Master Plan
remains consistent with these concepts while
enhancing the quality and character of future
campus design.
Key Design Principles
Campus Unification
A strong and clear visual order is important to
foster a coherent campus. Building systems,
site elements, and wayfinding tools will be ap-
plied consistently throughout the Campus in
order to convey a singular and unified corpo-
rate campus. New design will reinforce the
continuity of Genentech's recently built facili-
ties while optimizing creativity and fostering a
high level of efficacy and responsiveness to the
market.
Natural Environment
Materials, colors, and composition will be used
to create a cohesive, distinctive, and harmoni-
ous campus that is sensitive to the natural en-
vironment of the site, including topography,
landscape, waterscape, sky and distant views
of water, hills, and cities. Formal and infor-
mal landscape design will continue existing
concepts by use of native and drought tolerant
plant materials.
Corporate Identity
Materials and design for the campus will foster
a built environment that is well-grounded, con-
veys a sense of solidity, and reflects the diver-
sity of Genentech and its employees. Building
systems and site design will enhance employee
safety and security within the campus.
The Genentech Campus is also more than a
collection of buildings. The physical environ-
ment serves an important role in the process of
recruiting and retaining key talent. Campus de-
sign will provide a motivational physical envi-
ronment that supports employee creativity and
innovation, fosters productivity, and attracts
and retains exceptional people.
Functional Expressionism
Building elements (such as stairs and lab spaces)
and composition will communicate the honest
expression of building function, where interior
function meets the exterior envelope in order
to provide articulation on exterior facades (with
the exception that mechanical equipment and
service elements are primarily concealed).
Genentech Corporate Principles
Genentech has established a fundamental set of
values which are reflected in the campus as a
whole and furthermore within the process of
design. The following principles are the back-
bone of Genentech's corporate philosophy, and
subsequently drive the guidelines and standards
entailed in the Master Plan:
· Commitment to research as a "science based
company" .
· Maintain ties to major research universities.
· Support a corporate atmosphere that is con-
ducive to creativity and fosters innovation.
· Maintain a high level of efficiency and re-
sponsiveness to changes in research and mar-
kets.

such as meeting rooms, lobbies, or stairs
from general building functional areas.
· In keeping with the existing Campus vo-
cabulary, emphasize a generally horizontal
composition of window and solid. Vertical
emphasis may be used to accentuate key
building features.
· Design buildings with visual variety and
complexity, avoiding:
- Continuous, undifferentiated or singular
treatment of windows across entire length
of facades;
Repetitive punched openings over full
length of fa<;ades;
Vertically oriented window openings
should generally be avoided except for
special emphasis of unique elements such
as lobbies and stairs;
- Superficial facade treatments such as Rat
panels set Rush with a glazing system.
· Emphasize low parapets when permitted by
code or building function. Where full height
parapets are required, an open rail edge may
be considered to reduce apparent building
height and increase sky visibility.
· Production spaces are generally equipment
intensive: Ensure solid wall enclosure sys-
tems meet equipment and security require-
ments. Where appropriate, use glass to dis-
play internal functions.

A.4-4 Building Material and Surface
Textures
· Select building textures, finishes, and colors
to create a consistent and cohesive campus
in harmony with the natural environment.
· Reinforce the relationship between interior
and exterior spaces where appropriate, such
as in lobbies, by extending materials be-
tween spaces (e.g. flooring, lighting, etc.).
· Express a reference to natural material varia-
tions, including a transition from rougher
textures or larger panel sizes to more refined
textures or panels.
,...
Use of rougly-textured material anchors the building to
the surrounding environmental context.
,......
A.4-5 Building Color Use
· Utilize color range detailed ill the Design
Palette in Table A.5-l3.
· Emphasize colors related to natural materi-
als, including subtle variations within neu-
tral and earth-tone color ranges.
· Express roof screens/penthouse as a varia-
tion of the overall building wall color (see
Table A.5-l3).
· Use metal architectural trims (such as mul-
lions, railings, etc.):
subtle recessive definition of walls (using
darker earth tones, bronze or warm grey),
or
- crisp, contrasting definition of edges (us-
ing white or light earth tones).
A.4-6 Building Base
· Incorporate rough or deeply textured sur-
faces at building base, as a transition from
natural topography.
· Emphasize horizontal orientation of base
walls with formwork ribs in concrete.
· Differentiate base walls from the wall mate-
rials above by an offset in plane, a change in
texture or pattern, a significant visual reveal,
or a combination of the above.
· Maintain a consistent building base height
(34 to 36 inch min.) except at lobbies, stairs,
and other unique interior functions.
· For sites with varying terrain, follow the
general topography of the grade line along
the building.
Building base steps down with topography.
Building base interrupted where glass wall systems are
extended to grade.

· Ensure that sill heights are a minimum of .
34" high to cover desk-top or bench-top
functions, using solid or translucent materi-
als below, but that are low enough to allow
views from a seated position.
· Orient work areas to maximize access to
natural light.
· Consider the use skylights to bring natural
light to the interior spaces oflarge floor plate
structures, where applicable.
· Encourage the use of glass systems on Cam- ·
pus that are as transparent and as non-reflec-
tive as possible while achieving the requisite
performance for energy conservation, inter-
nal comfort and glare control. (See Table .

ter Point an inconvenient bypass route for other
congested roadways (that is, drivers would not

growth from outside of South San Francisco.
While this is a reasonable assumption for re-
gional and sub-regional roadways, there are no
"through" trips to the Oyster Point. The shape
Cumulative Conditions Methodology
The traffic forecasts developed for the Ge-
nentech Campus area assigned vehicle
trips to the roadways based on poten-
tial neighborhood build-outs (as described
in Appendix B). A refined set of internal
roadway volumes that reassigns these trips
based on the locations of future net increases in
parking supply was prepared. The refined traffic
volumes, which are displayed in Appendix B,
are consistent with the July 2005 traffic report
for intersections 10 through 16, with volumes
at intersections 1 through 8 reflecting the reas-
signment of Genentech trips.

Signal = signalized intersection; AWSC = all-way stop-controlled intersection; SSSC = side-street stop-controlled intersection.
Signalized and all-way stop-controlled intersection level of service based on weighted average control delay per vehicle for all vehicles entering the intersection, according
to the Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board, 2000). Side-street stop-controlled level of service is also based on the weighted average control delay of all
movements. For side-street stop controlled intersections, the delay and LOS for the worst minor street approach is presented in parentheses.
The "Alternative Mitigation" includes adding a SB right-turn lane at East Grand Avenue and Grandview Drive. Base Case mitigations are included unless otherwise noted.
