1. General Findings
1. Documents and other material constituting the record of the proceedings upon which
the City's decision and its findings are based, are located at the Planning Division of
the City of South San Francisco, in the custody of Chief Planner, Susy Kalkin.
2. The proposed project is consistent and compatible with all elements in the City of
South San Francisco General Plan. The 1999 General Plan includes policies and
progralns that are designed to encourage the development of high technology
Calnpuses in the East of 101 Area, allow for employee-serving vendor services,
preparation of a TDM plan and traffic ilnprovement plan to reduce congestion
impacts, and provision of a framework for requiring future circulation system
improvements as they are needed to prevent deficient levels of service from being
reached.
II. Genentech Facilities Ten Year Master Plan Update
As required by the "Research and Development Overlay District Regulations" (SSFMC
Section 20.39.040(b)( 4)), the following findings are Inade in support of appr~val of the
Genentech Facility Ten Year Master Plan Update, based on the entire record for the
Genentech Master Plan, which includes, without litnitation, the City of South San Francisco
General Plan adopted in 1999 and environmental doculnents supporting the General Plan; the

1. The Facilities Master Plan Update, including and incorporating the
I1nplelnentation Program, demonstrates the existence of sufficient roadway,
intersection and infrastructure capacity to accomlnodate facility development
proposed by the Facility Master Plan Update.
2. Proposed Inodifications to the standards and regulations of the underlying zoning
proposed by reclassification to the R&D Overlay District are supported by
information contained in the Facility Master Plan Update and related doculnents.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan which designates
this site for Business and Technology Park Use. The proposed Facility Master
Plan governs facility wide parking standards, development standards, design
guidelines, and uses on all parcels located in the Genentech Research &
Development Overlay District.
III. TDM Plan
As required by the "Transportation Demand Management" (SSFMC Section 20. 120.070(b)),
the following findings are made in support of approval of the Genentech Facility Ten Year
Master Plan Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDM) (TDM06-0003), based on the
entire record for the Genentech Master Plan, which includes, without limitation, the City of
South San Francisco General Plan adopted in 1999 and environmental doculnents supporting
the General Plan; the Genentech Master Plan Update initial study and Master Plan Update

2007:
1. The proposed project's TDM measures are feasible and appropriate for the
project, considering the proposed mix of uses and the project's location, size, and
hours of operation. The TDM Plan is designed to take advantage of and promote
the use of public transit. The Plan also provides incentives for employees to use
alternative modes of transportation, promotes parking cash-out incentives, and
uses a lower parking ratio to increase ridership on BART and the East of 101
shuttle service, as well as constructing pedestrian walkways linking the Project to
the adjacent shuttle stops and bikepaths.
2. The proposed project's TDM Plan contains performance guarantees that will
ensure that the target alternative Inode use established for the project by this
chapter will be achieved and maintained. The project includes an Annual Report,
which will review the catnpus-wide parking ratio and survey Inode uses, an
annual survey, and a triennial report that doculnents the effectiveness of the TDM
Plan in achieving the alternative mode use.

Master Plan Key Features
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Genentech's South San Francisco's Central
Campus is the birthplace of biotechnolo-
gy. Since the company's stan in 1976, it has
fOWld its South San Francisco location able to
meet and respond to suppon the rapid chang-
es 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 Masrer Plan is up-
dated 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
propenies that are not adjacent to the Central
Campus.
The Masrer Plan outlines a potential expansion
that would allow the Central Campus to grow
to approximately six million square feet dur-
ing the ten-year planning period. 'This expan-
sion represents a 100 percent increase in space
compared with the current Central Campus
development. The Master Plan indicates that
Genentech will meet its potential space require-
ments by both the redevelopment of buildings
that Genentech amendy owns and occupies
and by the redevelopment of expansion prop-
erty that Genenrech has recently acquired or .
may acquire in the ten-year planning period
. Genentech is proud to maintain and expand
its headquarters in South San Francisco
while creating a safe and inspiring work en-
vironment.
. The Master Plan allows for growth of up to
six million square feet, and a tOtal 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.
Genentech will assure that adequate parking
for employees, concractors, and visitors will
be provided, understanding the balance be-
tween encouraging non-auto crave! and ac-
commodation of known parking demand.
. Genentech will fund its proportionate share
of infrastructure improvements necessary to
accommodate the Central Campus growth
and development.
Genentech looks forward to a COntinued part-
nership with the City as Genentech expands to
meet its growing demand for new research and
product development.

Summary of Goals and
Strategies
Land Use and Structure
The goals and strategies for organization and
distribution of uses in the campus focus on
maintaining a high level of accessibility and
connectivity between neighborhoods and
specific campus functions. Neighborhoods are
emphasized as the key organizing element of
various functions, open space. and pedestrian
connections. Additionally, the campus pedes-
trian netWork and overall strUcnue maintains
key public and employee access to the Bay Trail
and public parks. This pedestrian accessibility
is supponed by reduced traffic within the cam-
pus, with enhanced pedestrian and shuttle con-
nections, and an overall parking strategy that
distributes parking throughout the campus
and intensifies parking at campus enuies.
Urban Design
Urban Design goals and strategies focus upon
establishing a consistent character and design
palette for the campus. Specific architectur-
al, landscape, and site design guidelines ensure
flexibility for development needs over a long-
term horizon as well as responsiveness to the
campus environment and setting. As such. pe-
destrian connectivity, open spaces, and a hu-
man scale are emphasized as key design tools.
Likewise, views to the San Francisco Bay. San
Bruno MOWltain. and other scenic features are
maintained as integral elements of the campus
setting and design aesthetic. Attention to qual-
ity design and a unified. cohesive campus is
also emphasized through consistency in build-
ing and site materials. as well as site elements
such as lighting, bus shelters. and furnishings.
Genenrech Facilities Ten-Year Master Plan 11
Transportation and Parking
Just as design and development goals fOt the
campus focus on lIexibility and responsive-
ness to change, transportation goals and strat-
egies emphasize strengthening and expand-
ing Genentech's programs to assist employ-
ees in transit to and from work. The result-
ing lIexible strUcrure is designed to meet Ot ex-
ceed the standards of the South San Francisco
Congestion Management Plan and the City's
Transponation Demand Management (TDM)
Ordinance. Genenrech will continue to be a re-
gionalleader and committed to a comprehen-
sive TDM program to promore employees us-
ing modes of transponation othet than single-
occupant vehicles.
Working in tandem with the TDM program,
the parking supply and implementation plan is
also a key strategy within the Master Plan. al-
lowing Genentech to respond to development
and parking demand needs as they ~Ive. The
Master Plan focuses on minimizing inrracam-
pus traffic with a parking Strategy that distrib-
Utes parking throughout the campw and inten-
sifies parking at campus entries. This is also ac-
complished through the Streamlining of cam-
pus circulation and connectivity for shutcles.
service vehicles, and goods movement.

Utilities
The Master Plan goals fat utilities and sUpport
infrastructure focus on two key development
concepts. Utilities will meet required perfOt-
mance standards and necessary service require-
ments as the campus expands; and Genentech
will coordinate with the City and utility pro-
vioos ro maintain and improve infrastructure.
Specific improvements to existing infrastruc-
ture will be implemented as demand from new
development and service requirements arise.

Because of the long-range nature of the Master
Plan, Hexibility during implementation is os-
sential. Thereforo, the Master Plan does not
ostablish the location, size, or design of indi-
vidual buildings, which will follow over the
course of the next ten yoars. The emphasis in
the Master Plan is on policios that will achieve
the purposos doscribed above.

Like many other high-tech industries, the bio-
toch industry is moving toward a more diver-
sifi.d and d'licient environment where manu-
facruring and relared functions, research and
dovdopment, and office space are located on
the same campus. This configuration allows
greater efficiencies by bringing technical and
profossional environmmts and staff together.
Likewise, the mixed-use campus environment
allows corporations to accommodate growth in
a Hexible manner, while providing an attractive
setting for the work force. Emphasis is placed
upon Hexibility in space and occupation. as
well as the employee oxperience-from the
provision of amenities to a secure, well-Iand-
scap.d, and walkable campus.

1.2 Location and Context
Regional Location
The Ciry 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. includ-
ing US 10], Interstates 1-280 and ]-380, BART
and Caltrain, the Union Pacific Railroad (for-
merly owned by rhe Southern Pacific Railroad)
main line. and the San Francisco International
AHpon. The regional location of the Ciry and
the existing (2005) Overlay Districr is shown
in Figure 1.2-1.

Project Location and Planning Area
The Genenrech 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. Advantageously located along the
San Francisco Bay shoreline and berween twO
major inrerchanges along US 10 1, the campus
is easily accessible via Oysrer Poinr Boulevard
and Grand Avenue. Multiple public transit ser-
vices access the sire as well, including Calrrain,
BART, and the future Oyster Point Ferry.
The Master Plan Planning Area encompass-
es approximately 200 acres in the South San
Francisco Eastof]Ol Area. In 1995, the Master
Plan and Genentech R&D Overlay DistriCt
included 72 acres. which has since been ex-
panded to 124 acres. Figure 1.2-2 shows the
Genentech R&D Overlay. proposed expan-
sion of the Genentech R&D Overlay, and
Genentech-owned properties included as part
of the Master Plan Planning Area. This fig-
ure also idenriJies Genentech ownership of 16
acres referred to as the Bay West Cove prop-
erry. Although Genenrech owns this site, the
Bay West Cove has its own approved devd-
opment under a separate Owner's Participation
Agreement and will not be included in this
Master Plan.
In addition ro the Ciry of South San Francisco,
the Planning Area is within the jurisdiCtion of
other agencies. Along rhe campus shoreline,
the Bay Trail, which connects the Genentech
Campus to the San Francisco Bay regional park
system, is located within the Bay Conservation
and Development Commission (BCDC) juris-
diction. The entire Planning Arr::J. is subjeCt to
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) height
limits for the San Francisco International
Airpon. (See Chapter 3: Urban Design for de-
tails).

Development Context
Over the past 30 year3. the Genentech Campus
has continued ro evolve through the replace-
ment and conversion of e>tisting buildings and
exterior spaces formerly designed for individ-
ual industrial and business park facilities. Like
the rest of the East of 101 Area, the original
~wnership and land use partern of the campus
mclu~ed steel production and other heavy in-
dustries. The resulting physical environment
comprised wide roadways. limited sidewalks.
and minimal site improvements. Additionally,
the area lac:ked both amenities and connec-
tions to the shoreline. Since 1995. the Master
Plan has focused upon providing connections
rothe Bay and betWffi1 facilities. as wdJ as dis-
tributing amenities throughout the campus fot
the employees. The Master Plan has also facili-
tated greater pedestrian accessibility and access
ro transit. both within the campus and to ma-
jor public transit alternatives.

Relationship To Other Documents
General Plan (adopted 1999)
The City of South San Francisco General Plan
describes goals and policies for future growth
and developmenr throughOUt the Ciry. The
General Plan governs the amount and inrensi-
ty of development within the East of 10 1 Area,
including the Genentech facilities. The General
Plan's projected FAR for the East of 101 Area
at buildout is 1.0, which reflects an increase in
building area of 50 percent and doubling of
employment in the East of 101 Area between
1997 and 2020. The Master Plan is consistent
with this provision. The General Plan also es-
tablishes policies for research and develop-
ment uses and employee amenities as well as
a requirement for a Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) Plan. The new Master .
Plan is consistent with the General Plan.
East of 101 Area Plan (adopted 1994)
In addition, the Genentech Research &
Development Overlay District is governed by
Chapters 20.39, 20040, and the Transportation
Demand Management Ordinance. The current
Masrer Plan update includes proposed amend-
ments to the Municipal Code.
Zoning Ordinance: Genentech Research

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
20040). This designation is in aclclition to the
P -I designation. The purpose of the Genentech
Research and Devdopment Overlay Disrrict is
to implement the Master Plan by:
Establishing a facility-wide architectural
character, a system of open space dements,
and a pedestrian and vehicular circulation

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 tesearch and development. As a corporate
citizen, Genenrech will contribute its fair share
of improvements ro ensure that rraflic in the
area flows smoothly, that streers and buildings
are well designed, infrasrruaure is upgraded,
and that impaas on the environment are min-
imized. These factors will guide Master Plan
implementarion, which will occur through a
variel)' of rools and processes:
. Building;: Redevelopment will comply with
the standards of the South San Francisco
Municipal Code chaprers 20.39 and 20040,
which specuy the types and sizes of projeas

Transportation Demand Management,
which specifies performance objectives and
mirigation measures thar will reduce Single
Occupancy Vehicles (SOV) trips during peak
hours. Genentech will sUbmil a TOM plan
to the Ciry for review and approval. The EIR
includes specific mirigation measures to reo
duce traffic impaas, including payment of
East of 101 traffic impact fees, insrallarion
of new traffic signals, road widening, lane re-
miping, and signal riming modification.
. Utiliti(!: Genentech will comply with Ciry
ordinances regarding sewer, warer, and other
uliliry infrastructure. Genenrech will also
cooperate with the Ciry to develop best
pracrices for future recycling programs. The
ElR includes specific mitigation measures to
reduce utiliry impacts, including water con-
servation measures, storm water pollution
prevention, and verification of adequate fire
protection water flows.

Environmmral hviw: In accordance with
the California Environmental Qualiry Act,
an Environmental Impact RepOrt (EIR) will
be prepared for the Masrer Plan and the fa-
cilities and improvements conremplated by
it, and certified before approval of the Mas-
ler Plan. Consistent with CEQA, it is an-
ticipated that for at least a five-year period
after certificarion of an the EIR for the Mas-
ter Plan and the facilities and improvements
conremplated by it, no additional environ-
mental review will be necessary for projeas
that are fully consistent with the Masler
Plan.
Subsequently, additional environmental re-
view may be required to supplemenl or up-
date the analysis in the EIR; the necessiry
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.
Monitoring and Reporting
On a yearly basis, Genentech will report on
both development and TOM progress, as de-
scribed below.
Supplemental to these annual aCtJvmes,
Genentech will continue to host campus walk-
throughs with the Ciry Planning Commission.
These walkthroughs will highlight new devel-
opment on the campus, acquainting commis-
sioners with new buildings and infrasrructure
and their relationship to the overall campus
environment.
Subsequent Project Review Process
One of the principal benefits of the Master
Plan and the Design Guidelines (included as
an Appendix to the Masrer Plan) is to estab-
lish a clear agreed-upon vision for the campus,
with expeditod development approval for ac-
tions and projeas consistent with the Master
Plan and the Design Guidelines. Furthermore,
the ElR fully addresses the potential significant
environmental impacts of all projeas included
in the Master Plan. No additional environmen-
tal review will be required for projeas submit-
ted to the Ciry for approval that are consistent
with the Master Plan.
In concert with the updated Master Plan
and ElR, provisions of the Research and
Development Overlay Distrier (South San
Francisco Municipal Code secrion 20.39) are
revised to reflect the expedited review pro-
cess. All projects, including new buildings and
building additions, will continue to be subject
to design review by the Design Review Board
(ORB) unless the Chief Planner determines
that a project does not involve significant de-
sign issues: projecrs less than 50,000 square feet

implementation progress. This will delail
progress of Master Plan implementation in
the previous year, and impending projects
and campus-wide improvements for the up-
coming year.

LAND USE AND STRUCTURE
The Genenrech campus occupies an area thar
was designed and builr ro Indusrrial Park sran-
<lards. A5 such, the original srruaure of the
campus comprised tilr-up buildings, surface
parking lots, wide roadways, and limited side-
walks. Genentech has replaced many of these
industrial buildings, and has begun to establish
a corporate identiry throughout the campus.
However. the existing site configuration and
challenging topography Iimir opportunities ror
porencial build-out and connectiviry. The street
grid is especially limited by the steep changes
in topography-resulting in only one main
sneet that bisects the campus. In addition, the
campus area includes lands within the Bay
Conservation and Development Commission
(BCDCl jurisdiaion along the Bay shore-
line-including a Prioriry Park designation at
San Bruno Point under the BCDC Plan, both
of which require public access and parking on
Genentech-owned properry.
Further restriaions on the extent and timing
of development in the Genenrech Campus in-
clude the FAA Parr 77 Height Limits due to the
proximiry of the San Francisco Inrernational
AirpOrt, and Qry and State requirements ror
projea review. These requirements directly
affea the overall intensiry and heights within
the campus, as well as Genenrech's f1exibil-
iry and responsiveness to indusrry needs and
fluctUations.
The goal of this Master Plan is ro create a struc-
ture thar 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 founda-
tion for built form, connections, and locations
of open spaces and amenities, rather than
defining precise building locations. shapes, Ot
rorms. The Land Use and Struaure chapter of
the Master Plan presents these themes through
campus.wide concepts and neighbothood-spe.
cific goals and strategies.
-183-
The 2016 Master Plan focuses upon several key
design and development concepts:
Fostering development of distinct yet
inter-connected "neighborhoods," to
ensure a sense of community, and to
support RftD. manufacturing, and of-
fice activities;
Maintaining and creating balance be.
tween open and built environments;
Maximizing use of views by careful sit-
ing and massing of buildings;
Fostering a safe, secure pedestrian
environment by carefully distributing
parking throughout the campus while
emphasizing greater concentrations of
parking at campus entries;
Creating a network of pedestrian and
campus shuttle connections to fa-
cilitate movement between buildings
and neighborhoods, and to reduce in.
tracampus traffic;
Establishing a hierarchy of pedestrian
walkways and connections that com-
prise "Central Spines" and secondary
walkways;
Fostering the Campus Spines concept
to connect employee amenities and
activity centers, such as cafeterias and
meeting spaces; and
Ensuring public access to the Bay Trail
and public parks.

2.1 Campus Structure
The Genentech campus strucrure is comprised
of three basic dements: built space, open space,
and circulation elements. Campus buildings
and outdoor spaces-including plazas, land-
scaped courtyards, and the bay shoreline-are
organized into campus neighborhoods. These
neighborhoods, buildings, and open spaces are
further organized and connected by a multi-
tiered, mulri-modal circulation system. Streers,
pedestrian walkways, and the crosswalks that
connect them, comprise this connective neuc-
ture. This section describes the basic srructure
and organization of the campus rhrough the
inrroduction of campus neighborhoods and the
campus connecrive networks. Further descrip-
tion of the design of these elements is included
in Chapter 3: Urban Design.
Neighborhoods
The concepr of neighborhoods was a major
guiding theme of the 1995 Plan, and is an
established fearure of Genentech Campus
planning. The formation of neighborhoods
provides a sense of scale to the campus, both
in terms of walkabiliry and navigation of the
various functions and uses within the campus.
The resulting size of each neighborhood refleCts
this emphasis upon scale and place, with each
neighborhood generally no more than a five- ro
ren-minute walk from end to end (as illusrrared
in Figure 2.1-2).
Although geographically defined, each neigh-
borhood serves a specific role, with emphasis .
upon research and development, manufac-
turing, or administration. This overarching
organization of the campus is reflected within
each neighborhood, where functional adjacen- .
cies between buildings-and at a larger scale,
between neighborhoods-Streamline commu-
nication and circulation.
iO I Genc:ml:cb Faciliejc:s Ten-Year M20'iter Plan
The neighborhood structure also provides a ba-
sis for the location and diStribution of employee
amenities, ensuring proximiry and access ro
parking, cafeterias. open space, and other ame-
nities for all employees. These ameniries are
organized off of pedestrian-oriented Central
Spines within each neighborhood, which to-
gether form the primary internal pedestrian
walkway rhroughout the campus, called the
Campus Loop.
Neighborhood Organization
The Master Plan adds an additional neigh-bor-
hood to the original Genemech Campus, which
was comprised of the Lower Campus, Upper
Campus, and Mid Campus. These rhree origi-
nal campuses. and the new Wesr Campus, are
addressed under this plan. Each neighborhood
plays a distinct role in the overall function of
the Genenrech Campus:
. Low" Campus will Continue to act as the
primary product development and manufac-
turing/warehousing center, but will expand
uses to accommodate growth of research
laboratory buildings.
. Mid Campus houses the Founder's Research
Cenrer (FRC), which provides space for
research and developmenr facilities. These
functions will be expanded upon, with em-
phasis remaining primarily with R&D uses.
UpptT Campus will continue to grow as the
Campus' main administrative and office
center.
Finally, the new Wm Campus will provide
the Genenrech Campus with a flexible space
for expansion. Although ropographically
separated, this neighborhood will link to
both the Upper and Lower campuses, set-
ring the stage for the development of uses
that are functionally comparible wirh office
and R&D uses.
-184-
The Masrer Plan also incorporates access to
employee amenities and parking as a major
organizational element within each neighbor-
hood Based on convenience and accessibil-
iry, amenities and open spaces are distributed
throughout each neighborhood and the entire
campus within a three- to five-minure walking
distance of all employees. Ameniries such as
cafeterias and major employee gathering spaces
are shown as they relare to the major campus
connections in Figure 2.1-1.
Likewise. parking facilities will be similarly dis-
tributed, with emphasis maintaining a safe andppedestrian-orienred campus environment. This
straregy is outlined in the following secrion.
Neighborhood Structure
Neighborhood uses, activities, and amenities
are strucrured around Central Spines, rhe
primary organizing elemenr of each neighbor-
hood. Building upon the original Campus
Spine concept from rhe 1995 Plan, which was
designed as a single connecrive element rhar
ran between Lower Campus and Mid Campus,
rhe Cenrral Spine concepr of this Master Plan
redefines the Spine as a neighborhood-specific
circularion and activiry hub. As the primary
circulation path through each neighborhood,
the spines act as a pedesrrian street. Building
entrances, courtyards, plazas, and ameniries
are all located off of the cenrral spine, thus de-
fining ir as the main activiry hub wirhin each
neighborhood.

is limit~d by the st~ep slop~s. bIds. and hill-

to facilitat~ an ""tended p~destrian network
within the campus. Thus. alternative connec-
tions b~rween neighborhoods, buildings. and
open spac~ rely primarily on a layer of pedes-
trian pathways and connections throughour
the campus.
-186-
Pedestrian Network
The second layer of campus circularion is rhere-
fore comprised of a multi-tiered pedesrrian
network. This network is defined by a disrinct
hierarchy of connecrion typologies that are
based upon use and location. The extent of
traffic along these connections defines their
role within rhe campus-those walkways that
are used with the grearest frequency are identi-
fied as primary walkways and those that are
used less often are secondary walkways. The
major primary walkway of the campus is the
Campus Loop. The Loop is a COntinuous. high-
ly-frequented network of connections between
campus neighborhoods, and is thus comprised
of Central Spines and the pathways and cross-
walks that connect rhem. A diagram of the
Campus Loop is shown in Figure 2.1-2, show-
ing the relationship of neighborhood Central
Spines to the primaty walkway network.
Secondary walkways are more informal. less-
traveled circulation paths between and within
buildings and neighborhoods. They include
walkways between neighborhoods outside of
the Campus Loop or connections to the cam-
pus meet network. They often pass between
or within open spaces and building clusters or
traverse challenging topography. The second-
ary walkway netwOrk also includes connec-
tions between neighborhoods and major nodes
or public open spaces including the shoreline
and existing parks. campus ameniries, and
major parking garages. Both rhe primaty and
secondary walkway networks are illusuated
and discussed in greater detail in Chapter 3:
Urban Design.
Open Space Network
The final element of the campus framework is
the open space network. Comprised of large
landscaped gathering spaces. connective court-
yards and plazas between buildings, as well as
public open space such as the Bay Trail along
the Genentech shoreline. this network provides
a physical organization to the campus and each
of its neighborhoods.
~

Genentech's distinct natural serring is a major .
defining feature of the campus. With the San
Francisco Bay shoreline and Wind Harp Park
within the 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 develop-

2.2 Existing Land Use and
Development
Genentech's South San Francisco campus is ex-
panding, both in terms of population and
building space. New property acquisitions have
created a foundation for redevelopmem and
additions to existing facilities. Company-wide
Genemech has approximately 9,900 employees
as of September 2005. of which approximately
6,500 are located in South San Francisco.
Growing demand for furrher research and pro-
ducts 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 conrinually in
a state of change, with multiple development
projects underway or planned for the near fu-
ture. This Master Plan follows the goals and
objectives of the 1995 Plan to help guide the
expansion of rhe Campus as well as strengthen
the character of existing neighborhoods.
Planning Area and RftD Overlay
The Master Plan addresses an axea of approxi-
mately 200 acres as the planning axea. This
includes the Genemech Central Campus and
future properries as yet unidentified. N shown
in Figure 2.2-] and described in Table 2.2-1,
the Genemech Central Campus (in 2005) ex-
tends over 160 acres; of which, approximately
]24 acres are currently in the Genentech R&D
Overlay of the South San Francisco Municipal
Code, and approximarely 36 acres that comprise
rhe proposed expansion of the overlay .This
Master Plan focuses on the Central Campus
within the Planning Area.
Genentech-owned Properties Outside
the Planning Area
In addition to the Planning Area, Genentech
currently has significant leased space at the
Gateway Business Park and Britannia East
Grand development which is currently under
construction.
Also shown in Figure 2.2-], Genentech owns 16
acres referred to as the Bay West Cove property.
This property already had approval for develop-
ment of 623,000 square feet when Genentech
purchased the property.
Uke the Bay West Cove, me Gateway and
South campuses are not included in me
Planning Area. However, they axe addressed as
mey relate to rransportation and connectiviry
issues.

Program
Development Projections
At buildout, Gononrech expects to almost
double its 2006 building atea from 3.5 mil-
lion to approximately six million square feel
of building space. This developmont will OCCUt
on the Master Plan planning area of up ro 200
acres. All these projections are subjecr 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
construcred.
Az, the distribution of uses evolves towards
a greater perconrage of office and laboratory
buildings, the campus will incorporate greater
population densities. Table 2.3-1 compares the
expecred 2016 distriburion of uses with the
existing 2005 distribution.
Office
Growth Strategy and Development
Intensities
The expected growth of the campus to 6 million
square feet ofbuilding space on 200 acres would
result in an ovetall R&D Overlay District FAR
of 0.69. Within the campus, deveJopmont inton-
siry will vary in each neighborhood in response
to availabiliry of developable land, turnover of
existing cIeveIopmont, the Master Plan growth
strategy, and natural constraints. Maximwn
FARs of each neighborhood will not exceed 1.0,
with an overall R&D Overlay maximwn FAR
of 1.0. Building heights and typology within
each neighborhood will further dictate the de-
velopmont intensities throughout the campus.

Neighborhood Growth Strategy
The Master Plan growth Strategy calls for new
expansion and redevelopment throughout the
campus, concenttating more intense admin-
istrative and office development in the Upper
and West campuses. Research will continue
to expand in the Mid and Lower campuses.
Lq,wer Campus will also suPPOrt product de-
vdopment, laboratory buildings, and related
funaions. Amenities will continue to be dis-
tributed throughout the neighborhoods and
satellite campuses. The overall distribution
of development by neighbothood is shown in
Table 2.3-3. These numbers reHect the net new
growth discussed in the following strategies for
each neighborhood.
The strategies described below are based upon
existing uses and development as of (December
2005) and proposed future redevdopment.
The nel new square footage is set forth bdow;
however, the swnmaries also describe existing
building square footage that may be removed
as part of the redevelopment. The projecrs de-
scribed are those that currently are anticipated;
changes in the precise mix of project types
and uses may occur in response [Q changing
business conditions and corporate strategies
adopted by Genentech.

West Campus
The West Campus, the n~st addition to
the Genentech Campus, is west of the Upper
Campus and is bordered by Easr Grand Avenue,
Allenon Street, and San Bruno Hill. The West
Campus serves as a major point of entry to the
Project. Although not currendy a part of the
existing Genentech R&D Overlay District,
the campus is proposed to be added to the
district as a part of the Master Plan. The exisr-
ing (December 2005) development within the
West Campus includes 660,000 square feet of
manufacturing/warehouse spalX. Genenrech
anticipares thar up to 510.000 square feet of
this spalX may be redeveloped. Future Wesr
Campus projects that currendy are anticipared
include:
. A new child care facility of approximately
52,000 square feet for approximarely 500
children ar 444 Allerton;
. Three new office buildings (B61, B62, and
B63) toraling approximately 450,000 square
feer of office space;
. A new parking structure to support approxi-
mately 1.200 cars;
. Approximately 330.000 square feer of addi-
tional office space;
. Approximarely 200,000 square feer of labo-
ratory space;
. Approximarely 250,000 square feet of manu-
facturing/warehouse space;
. ApprOximately 55,000 square feer of addi-
tional amenities space: and
. Additional strucrured parking.
Parking Strategy
Complementing the neighborhood growth
strategy, parking will be distributed within
each neighborhood with emphasis on parking
at campus entries. 1his straregy will reduce the
need for vehicular trips within the campus, and
will enhance walkability and pedestrian and
bicycle safery. For a more derailed description
of the campus Parking Straregy. including dis-
cussion of overall demand and supply, refer to
Section 4.4 in Chapter 4: Transportation and

2.4 Neighborhood Character
and Use
Lower Campus
The Lower Campw; neighborhood has direct
access to the Bay Trail and views across the bay.
One of two major gatewa)'5 into the campus,
me Lowet Campw; 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 tidge and the Upper Campus above. The
Lower Campw; 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.
Character and Use
Lower Campus how;es offices, laboratory,
manufacturing, and warehouse buildings, and
has direct access to natural amenities such as
me Bay Trail and San Bruno Point. 1.; the land
use structure of the entire Genentech Campus
evolves with changing needs and activity fo-
cuses, the more industrial nature of the Lower
Campus will change in emphasis and form.
Redevelopment of multiple opporrunity sires
within this neighborhood, both along the
Central Spine and along the Bay shoreline,
will redefine the neighborhood as a multi-use
research, development, and manufacruring
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 me Central Spine and Campus Loop. These
functions and related design elemenrs of the
Central Spine and Lower Campus are described
in Chapter 3: Urban Design and in Appendix
A: Design Guidelines.
22 I Genemech Facilirjes Tcn~ Year Master Plan
Develop the Lower Campus as the
northern gateway to the Genentech
Campus, in concert with its strategic
location off of Gull Road and Forbes
Boulevard.
Create a strong neighborhood center
at the Central Spine that provides a
focus for building entries. pedestrian
circulation, and employee gatherings,
as shown in Figure 2.4-1.
Promote streamlined movement
within the Lower Campus. emphasiz-
ing efficiency of pedestrian circula-
tion and connections and allowing
direct service and delivery access to
manufacturing, utility, and distribu-
tion uses.
Maintain hill and Bay views and ac-
cess to the Bay Trail.
Maximize ease of access and priori-
tize pedestrian movement within the
neighborhood.
-196-
Maintain the primary function of the
Lower Campus as the hub for manu-
facturing, warehousing, and develop-
ment laboratories.
Reinforce Genentech's parking strat-
egy by concentrating parking at the
campus entry (Forbes Boulevard/Gull
Road). See Appendix A for design
guidelines for parking structures and
interim parking lots.
Maintain the centralized utility plant
located along the Lower Campus hill-
side to support manufacturing and
laboratory uses.

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
g~ographically from the rest of the campus.
Like the Upper Campus, the area is separated
topographically from the neighboring Lower
and South campuses.
Character and Use
Housing primarily research lab facilities, Mid
Campus buildings are grouped into multiple
building clusters. The close-knit, interactive
environment, fostered by the existing con-figu-
ration of buildings, sets the foundation for a
more integrated Central Spine Element within
the centet of the neighborhood. Refocusing the
Spine in to the center, new development will
reinforce existing connections and create small-
er, infotmal gathering and open spaces. The
neighborhood will capiralize upon its unique
serring by siring new buildings and amenities
to connect to existing connections and open
spaces.
24 I Genentech Faciljtics TCfl- Year Masttt Plan
Foster research and development
environment with opportunities for
small, informal employee gatherings.
Create open spaces, small plazas, and
landscaped pathways that will serve
existing and new development.
Integrate the Mid Campus into the
overall campus pedestrian network
through connections to the campus
loop and Bay Trail.
Maintain connectivity to Lower.
South, and Upper campuses.
-198-
Maintain research and development
uses lIS the major land use of the Mid
Campus, with supportive functions as
secondary functions.
Distribute structured parking in Mid
Campus as it relates to the campus-
wide parking strategy. Transition
interim surface parking on future
building sites into consolidated cam-
pus parking structures. See Appendix
A for design guidelines for parking
structures and interim parking lots.
As may be required for new develop-
ment, potentially provide a central-
ized utility plant to support growth
of research and development uses
within the Mid Campus.

The Upper Campus has emerged as the geo-
graphic cenrer of the Genentech Campus. The
Upper Campus neighbothood occupies the
highest poinr 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 ro the
San Francisco Bay and beyond, including San
Francisco and Mt. Diablo on cl= da~, as well
as San Bruno Mountain and Sign Hill to the
west. Of the neighborhoods direcr1y abutring
the Upper Campus, the Mid and Wesr campuses
are mOSt accessible while the Lower and South
campuses are separared by sreep ropography.
Although the Upper Campus is land-locked,
there are tremendous bay views ro the north
and south along the hillside. The neighbor-
hood also possesses a significanr connection to
the Wind Harp Park. Locared at the rop of San
Bruno Hill, the Wind Harp Park are connecred
to the Upper Campus by a pedesrrian pathway
off of Grandview Drive.
Character and Use
The Upper Campus will serve as cemer of the
campus with primarily administrative offices.
Redevelopment will focus upon external place-
making, views, and internal campus amenities,
providing the foundation fOt an active Cenual
Spine in Upper Campus. In addition, the
Upper Campus will serve as the primary popu-
lation center for the campus, with the greatest

West Campus
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 connecrs the West Campus
to Lower campus. As a result of its limited con.
nectivity, 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.
Character and Use
This 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 2.4-4). With its strategic location
ar the busy intersection of Grandview and East
Grand, West Campus will serve as a major
poinr of entry. Landscape, open space, ~ign~e.
and building alignments along Grandvtew will
emphasize this entry point.
The Wesr Campus geography and location
define the intensity of development possible
within the neighborhood. Greater FARs and
building heights are possible along the wesr-
ern edge of the neighborhood, where lowet
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 ro maintain a view corridot ro the
Wind Harp Park.
281 Gent:ntc::ch Faciliric:s Ten-Val Master Plan
Develop West Campus as the major
southern and western gateway into
the Genentech Campus.
Emphasize connections to the Upper
Campus loop extension at the base of
San Bruno Hm, and along Grandview
Drive to Upper Campus.
Intensify development and maintain
views where available.
Ensure that views from adjoining
campuses are not compromised by
higher development intensities and
heights in West Campus.
-202-
Develop administrative and office uses
as the main West Campus function.
Reinforce Genentech's parking strat-
egy by concentrating parking at the
campus entry (East Grand Avenue!
Grandview Drive). See Appendix
A for design guidelines for parking
structures and interim parking lots.

URBAN DESIGN
CourtyanJ at Founders Research Center (FRC) with views
to San Bruno Mounta~n.
Genentech's unique setting and spectacular
views of the San Francisco Bay and the re-
gion 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 cha1Ienged by steep terrain
and high winds that accompany its hilltop and
bayshore location.
In response to this unique Setting, the overall
design objective is to create a walkable, pe-
deStrian-oriented campus within the context
of a clear, cohesive campus identity. Thus,
urban design themes in this chapter focus
on connectivity, views, character, and pedes-
trian experience. These themes are expressed in
terms of materiality, signage.lighting, and site
furnishings; as wdl as the provision and defini-
tion of walkways and open space throughout
the campus. In turn, the overall organization
and hierarchy of these elements define campus
ncighbothoods, primary circulation paths,
and areas for recreation and contemplation
throughout the campus.
This chapter presents urban design conceprs as
they relate to specific elements of the campus,
and includes discussion of public streets, side-
walks. and shuttle stops; campus entries; secu-
rity and public access; pedestrian walkways;
open space and views; and building massing
and scale. Each section provides goals and strat-
egies that will guide future development within
the campus, which are funher augmented by
campus-wide design guidelines in Appendix A.
-205-
The following provide direction for developing
the overall campus structure described in the
previous chapter:
Maximizing the waterfront and hilltop
setting of the Genentech Campus;
Facllltating pedestrian connections
and accessibility along major campus
corridors;
Fostering vital and active pedestrian-
oriented Central Spines within each
neighborhood;
Ensuring that development capitalizes
on view corridors and fosters a human
campus scale;
Promoting flexibility 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
lluidelines.

3.1 Streets
Street Network
The Genentech Campus is comprised of rwo
major street networks: The primary street
netwOrk includes major connections to the
East of 101 Area and through streets within
the campus; and the secondary, more informal
street network that includes access and private
roads that serve empl~, shuttle, and service
vehicles. These netwOrks, along with changes
to streets in the broader EaSt of 101 Area. are
shown in Figure 3.1-1.
Like the rest of the East of 101 Area, the
Genemech Campus streer 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.
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 Master
Plan Area from US-WI and 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
Boulevard and East Grand Avenue interchanges
with US-WI further underscore the primacy of
Forbes Boulevard and East Grand Avenue as
311 Genentech F.cilitie.Ten-Year Master Plan
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.
In addition to the major streets within the cam-
pus, a secondaty street network including in-
ternal private streets plays an important role for
service and freight movement. Some of these
streets-like Point San Bruno Boulevard-are
informal in nature and are shared by pedes-
trians. service and delivery vehicles, shuttles,
and automobiles. The Master Plan addresses
new connections between neighborhoods and
provides direction for design of additional pe-
destrian crosswalks. These changes include:
Designating the Lower Campus Spine as a
pedestrian-oriented street with limited al-
lowance for service, delivery, and emergency
vehicles;
Connecting Point San Bruno Boulevard to
South Campus via a proposed private road
connection for service, shuttle, and emer-
gency vehicles; and
Providing pedestrian crossings to improve
safery as the campus grows.

Streetscape and Character
....;.,'...
Streers are essential to campus identity. move-
ment. and pedestrian safety and comfon. Street
design includes a wide variety of elements.
such as sidewalks. medians. landscaping. sire
furnishings, lighting, and pavement. Themes
to consider in crearing an effective street design
include enclosure, continuity. character, rela-
tionship between pedestrians and traffic. shade.
wind, and light.
Streers in the East of lOl Area are largely de-
signed to facilitate automobile and truck move-
menr. As Forbes Boulevard and Grandview
Drive transition into the Genentech Campus.
the higher speeds and limited visability Counter
pedestrian and bicycle accessibility.
By 2016, the Genentech Campus is projected
to double in size. substantially increasing rhe
number of employees and visitors to campus.
Geographic expansion. increased development
intensity and increase in the number of people
using the campus will necessitare neighborhood
connecrivity by bicycles. pedestrian paths. and
shuttles. Easy movement between neighbor-
hoods and buildings is key in fostering efficient
collaboration and productivity for employees.
Screerscape design and character will ~ed ro
reflect the desired multi-modal campus orcula-
tion system, with greater accessibility for pedes-
trians between campuses as well as neighboring
businesses. Public streets will acconunodate
traffic, bicycliSts, and shuttle scops, as shown
in Figute 3.1-2 and rhe potential cross-section
of Foro.,s Boulevard in Figure 3.1-3. Likewise,
along Grandview Drive and DNA Way. bicy-
clists and campus shuttles will be accommo-
dated with bike lanes and pull outs (Figure 3.1-
4). Wider sidewalks and pedestrian crossings
along Grandview Drive and DNA Way are
recommended to foster pedestrian comfon and
safety-as illustrated in Figure 3.1-4-while
maps and signage will help orientation.

Landscape elements and responsiveness to
sening are also key issues in street de~ an~
chara=. A unified landscape palette will knit
the campus cogether: consistent unified tree
planting and street treatments along public
streets will promore continuity, distinction. and
identity for the Genentech Campus. Continuity
along Grandview Drive is especially important.
as the meet is the main connection through
the campus. As such, approximately 25 percent
of the landscape along Grandview Drive will
be improved ro foster and enhance campus
identity. Landscape elements along Grandview
and throughOUt the campus will be consistent
with East oflOl Area Plan Guidelines for street
trees and landscape buffers.
In addition, a unified lighring concept through-
our the campus will also enforce Genentech's
identity thus, improvements co lighting along
public streers will be consistent with lighting
within the campus at pedestrian walkways and
parking lot areas. These will provide adequate
lighting and will be reviewed and approved by
the City.

Shuttle Stops
Street landscape will also play an imponant role
in shuttle StOp design. Landscape buffers be-
tween the sickwalk and street edge will control
and define opporrunities for pedesuian cross-
ings. Likewise, plantings adjacent ro shurde
smps will create a distinct, identifiable setting
and boundary for the shuttle Stop areas, as well
as sun and weather protection. Landscape and
site design Strategies will include:
Shunle circulation is an integral element of
the Genentech Campus-thus. the design and
location of shutde StOpS play an imponant role
in the campus srreerscape. The relationship of
shurue stopS to public streers is demonstrated
in a future plan and DNA Way in Figure 3.1-
5. Utilizing the existing width of the street,
shurue Stops will be located along the edge of
the tight-of-way. Pedestrian crossings adjacent
ro the shutrle StOpS will be improved by shoner
curb-to-curb distances through the use of
sickwalk bulb-outs on DNA Way and typically
along Grandview Drive. Bus bays will be mi-
1ized at campus StOpS on Cabot Road and the
Grandview Drive srop near the East Grandview .
Avenue intersection.

Crosswalks
Enhance sidewalks by separating pe-
destrian and vehicular movements.
Complementing streetscape and shuttle stop
design and location, campus crosswalk design
focuses on safe and efficient circulation between
campus buildings, altetnative uansit modes,
and parking areas.
Campus crosswalks are comprised of two differ-
ent typologies. the design of which are related
to location and traffic flow along public streets.
Type I crosswalks are used at locations where
vehicles are brought to a controlled and uncon-
trolled Stop, and thus comprise painted striping.
Type II crosswalks are used at crossings where
vehicles are not brought to a conttolled StOp
and where there is potential for high pedestrian
traffic (e.g. mid-block crossings). Thus, these
crosswalks are designed to be conspicuous for
drivers: The crosswalk is identified by a more
visible striping pattern as well as flashers and!
or pedestrian-activated signalization.

3.2 Campus Entries
Campus enrries provide a significanr visual and
physical demarcarion of campus identiry and
perimerer. Designed ro welcome bom employ-
ees and visirors, campus enrries are nor inrended
ro limir access on public sr=rs or hinder public
access ro the Bay Trail. Ramer, emphasized by
a combination of streetscape. landscape, and
signage dements, mese enrries serve as wayfind-
ing rools for campus visitors and me public.
The Genentech Campus has rwo major en-
rrances into the campus-me intersection of
Grandview Drive ar Easr Grand Avenue in Wesr
Campus and Forbes Boulevard ar DNA Way in
Lower Campus (as identified in Figure 3.1-1).
With Genentech-owned parcels on bom sides
of Grandview Drive at Easr Grand Avenue, rhe
Wesr Campus enrry will become the primary
entrance for employees and visitors. This enrry
will be furmer emphasized once the Railroad
Avenue/East Grand Avenue road extension is
fully realized. (See Section 4.1 for future road
improvements in the Easr of 101 Area.)
As redevelopment occurs in sires adjacent to
mese campus gareways, distinctively-designed
srreetscape, landscape, and signage demenrs
will esrablish mese areas as important rransi-
tions inro the campus environment. Campus
enrry design may incorporare several elements:
40 I GenenrcchFacilitie.Ten-Year MasruPlan
. Landscape elements such as trc:es, colorful
foliage and Rowers, earth berms, and low
walls;
. Changes in hardscape materials, through dif-
ferences in rextUre and color;
. Special lighting elements, wim emphasis
upon design and placemenr;
. Monument signage, incorporated into land-
scape and hardscape design; and
Signarure public artWork such as sculprure
elements.
Public Art

works of an conceived and executed in any
discipline or mediwn. including visual, me-
dia, and temporary works. These works of arr
will be located ar campus enrries and srraregic
locations on campus where they will be visu-
ally accessible to the public from public srreets
or public parks. The insrallation, movement,

Enhance the Genentech Campus'
unique identity by emphasizing entry
points.
Establish clear wayfinding tools and
directions for visitors to follow.
Provide Visitor Stations at campus
entries to assist visitors and public.
Enhance the sense of arrival at key
entry points to the campus through
landscape, sign age, and other design
elements (shown in Figure 3.1-1).
Provide for visitor assistance areas at
campus entry points.
Maintain and enhance the campus
signage program for wayfinding.
3.3 Security and Public Access
Public access, safety. and securiry are impOrtant
issues to address in an open campus environ-
ment like the Genentech Campus. With the
Bay Trail and Wind Harp Park located within
the campus Planning Area. incorporating both
employee and public access to these areas is es-
sential to maintaining an open. well-integrated
campus environment and experience. As such,
in suppon of an open, accessible environment.
the campus perimeter will only- be defined by
landscaping and earth berms.
In addition to accessibiliry, the securiry and
safery of Genentech employees and visitors also
affect the campus qualiry of life. As such. the
Master Plan focuses on methods to ensure ease
of access and parking for visitors. as well as on-
campus employee safety. Assistance to visirors
and employees will be available at campus "visi-
tor stations," where visitors will be greeted by
Genentech naff and receive badges, maps. and
directional assisrance. Building lobby reception
areas will also provide assistance to visitors as
needed Specific goals and measures to ensure
campus access and securiry are listed in the fol-
lowing goals and strategies.
Maintain public access to the Bay Trail
and Wind Harp Sculpture Park.
Ensure accessible and convenient
visitor parking.
Allow for access control for vehicu-
lar entry to neighborhood Central
Spines.
Monitor safety and security of em-
ployees and visitors.
Public Access
Provide access to the Bay Trail and
public amenities. Wind Harp Sculp-
ture Park. and approved allocated
public parking.
Provide "visitor stations" at campus
entries to assist visitors: Integrate
into building and site design.
Provide visitor parking for each
neighborhood for convenience and
ease of access.
-215-
Security
Provide controlled access to each
building lobby including:
Card reader at all entries to
buildings.
Reception stations at main build-
ing entries.
Utilize a significant degree of trans-
parency at building lobbies to assist
security. For example, use of clear
glass is preferred.
Provide adequate lighting at build-
ing entries and all exterior areas for
safety and security during nlght-time
use.
Integrate locations of security cam-
eras with buildings to permit clear,
unrestricted sight lines.
Provide emergency phones through-
out the campus.
Follow guidelines described In A.5-5:
Screening and Fencing for any re-
quired security fendng.
Allow for access control at all parking
structures, parking lots, and visitor
parking areas.
Genenrecb Facilities Ten-Year Master Plan I 41
3.4 Pedestrian Connections
A strong pedestrian network is essential ro en-
sure an integrared and walkable campus. The
coordination of pedesrrian movemem with
shuttle bus srops 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 rrees, paving, and
seatinglbenches can further define the character
and role of pathways.
While campus-wide and neighborhood con-
necrions are more efficienr and direct in nature,
pathways can also be designed to be contempla-
tive or to enable jogging/running, and can help
promote connections ro the bayfrom and the
Point San Bruno Park. These different typolo-
gies form a rich, multi-layered circulation ner-
work. offering multiple choices for movement
and aperiencing the campus.
As described in Section 2.1: Campus Structure.
campus circulation occurs at several levels. Like
the varied street network on campus, the pe-
destrian environment is a system of pedesrrian
walkways (illustrated in Figure 3.4-1). In the
Master Plan, the primary layer comprises the
Central Spine elements within each neigh-
borhood and the major connective elements
between them. The neighborhoods are further
connected to each other and the rest of the
campus by a secondary network of walkways.
42 I Genentech F.cilitie, Ten-Yeat Master Plan
Primary Walkways
The primary pedestrian network helps facili-
rate the movement of people throughout the
campus and connect rransit stops and parking
facilities with other campus destinations. These
walkways include campus Cenua! Spines and
the major crosswalks and walkways that con-
nect them. This overall high-traffic pedesuian
system comprises the Campus Loop. Shown in
Figure 3.4-1, the Campus Loop walkways will
be idenriJied through distinctive design of pav-
ing, landscaping, sire furnishings, and lighting.
These elements will be consistenr within each
neighborhood..
However, variations in design will occur to
accommodate specific uses and character of dif-
ferent neighborhoods. For instance, the Lower
Campus Cenual Spine has limited vehicular
access, thus crearing a shared use condirion
between pedestrians and vehicles. As a result,
specific design measures that facilitate vehicular
movement while ensuring pedesuian safety will
create a unique Cenua! Spine environment for
the Lower Campus. Design guidelines thar per-
tain to this Cenua! Spine condition are listed
in Appendix A2: Vehicular and Pedestrian
Accessibility. Further discussion of Cenua!
Spine design and development is included in
Section 3.7 Central Spines.
The remaining Campus Loop walkways and
Cenua! Spines are designated as primarily
pedestrian circulation paths. These paths will
be demarcared by the use of specific paving
and landscape materials. and will incorporate
site furnishings for seating areas that access
views, building enuies. and quier areas for
contemplation.

Use consistent lighting design and
light levels along campus pedestrian
walkways, using appropriately-spaced
1S-foot high fixtures. See Appendix
A: Lighting, for desilln guidelines.
Design walkways with a minimum
width of five feet, with higher-use
walkways as 6-8 feet wide, depend-
ing on volume of traffic.
Use materials outlined in Appendix A:
Harclscape Materials and Textures.
Provide site furnishinll along Central
Spines. including seating elements
for views, next to entries, and areas
for quiet contemplation.
Use site elements such as landscap-
ing, site furnishings. and changes in
paving materials to accommodate
both pedestrian and vehicular traffic
where access is shared.
Develop primary walkways in conjunc-
tion with campus redevelopment.
Genenteeh F .ciliti.. Ten-Year Master Plan I 43
Secondary Walkways
These off-street walkways traverse hillsides or
streets to make direct connections berween
neighborhoods and to major site elements such
as the Bay Trail and the Wind Harp Sculptute
Park (see Figure 3.4-3). This second tier also
includes walkways that are more recreational
in nature, connecting to the Campus Loop,
neighborhoods, and natural assers via a net-
worle of less-direct pathways along hillsides
and bluffs. This recreational element of the pe-
destrian network offers an additional realm of
ex:perience to the campus, serving as an asSet for
employees and accentuating the natural setting
and environment.
New connections in the Master Plan provide
a combination of physical and visual linkages
to help pedestrians navigate between neigh-
bothoods. They include stalls and ramps to
traverse often formidable elevation changes;
enhanced site and pavement elements for
connections along the Campus Loop, Forbes
Boulevard, and Grandview Dtive; 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 efficiencly.

3.6 Open Space
Campus landscape design provides a framework
for an overall Genentech identity. Within cItis
framework, each neighborhood is developed
with its own unique character, utilizing varia.
rions in plant type, variety, and design.
Open Space Network
The Genentech Campus open space network.
as first defined in Chapter 2: Land Use and
StruCture, consists of multiple open space des-
ignations: public (such as the BayTrail), passive
(non-developable bluffs). connective Gand-
scaped pedestrian connections between major
open spaces). and neighborhood-oriented (pla-
zas, courtyards, lawns, etc.). These spaces are
interwoven throughour the campus and play an
important role in how neighborhoods and the
overall campus are structured. Whether they are
formal lawns, informal courryards or plazas, or
shoreline bluffs and park areas, open space and
views throughout the campus provide a basic
organizing element for buildings, streets, and
walkways.
481 Gonontech Facilitie, Ten-Year Master Plan
Figure 3.6-1 sham the overall extent of open
space throughOut the campus. As current
surface parking areas are .61led in with devel-
opment-both built and landscaped-the
campus built environment will intensifY.
New development will be focused aroWld key
open spaces that either are strucrured along a
neighborhood Central Spine, or focused on
connectivity between major natural elements
like the Bay shoreline, views, or hillside bluffs.
These open spaces-which are comprised of
courryards, lawns, walkways, and plazas-are
shown in relation to the built environment and
major connective spaces, as well as hillside and
shoreline areas in Figure 3.6-1.
The following sections describe the campus
open space network in greater derail, and in-
clude discussion of public open space such as
the Bay Trail and Wind Harp park; passive
and connective spaces such as the bluffs and
wall'Ways through the campus; and neighbor-
hood-oriented space that directly relates to the
built environment. Landscape design is also
discussed, in relation to the concept of formal
and informal landscapes and their relationship
to the natural environment and architecture of
the campus.

Public Open Space
Public open space adjacent to the Genentech
Central Campus is part of a regional network
of parks and uaiIs including the BCDC Bay
Trail. This waterfront area is the "frOnt porch"
of the campus, with vistas across the Bay to Mr.
Diablo, San Francisco, and the San Francisco
International AirpOrt. With a dramatic land-
scape of bluffs and points, the waterfront is an
area for sitting, walking, jogging, and bicycling
along the water's edge. These activities will be
enhanced by public amenities provided by
Genentech, including a food concession and
public restroom facility and recreational space
along Forbes Boulevard. In addition, expanded
parking availability in parking lots adjacent
to the Bay Trail along Forbes Boulevard on
weekends and evenings will also suPPOrt use
and access to public open space. Figure 3.6-2
provides an overview of these open space public
facilities.
The Wmd Harp Sculpture Park is located in the
center of the Genentech campus, at the top of
San Bruno Hill. more of a visual icon wirhin

Passive and Connective Open Space
Additional passive spaces within me campus
include me bluffs and ridges along San Bruno
Hill. Pan of the netWOrk of shoreline bluffs
that extends through me 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 neigh-
borhoods mat allow employees. and visitors to
experience the open space through circulation
and pathways.
More defined connective open spaces link ma-
jor open spaces to public amenities and primary
circulation paths through visual and physical
means. (See Figure 3.6-3) Planned new green
connections include:
. Lower Campus to Upper Campus hillside
stair and landscaped pathway; and
. Open space promenade from me Lower
Campus Spine to the Bay.
Neighborhood-Oriented Open Space
Within the campus, a series of outdoor spaces,
including counyards, plazas, and central greens,
define the Central Spines of each campus neigh-
borhood. Located in the hean of each neigh-
borhood and forming the nodes of the Campus
Loop, they are the most visible elements of the
open space nerwork within the campus. (See
Figure 3.6-2) A series of open space transitions,
courtyards, and promenades, mese spaces will
be active and open in response to their settings,
capitalizing on vistas and view corridors, as well
as proximity to amenities.
Landscape Design
Campus landscape design Starts at the edge of
the San Francisco Bay and the Bay Conservation
and Development Conunission's (BCDCl Bay
Trail. The planting palette is a carefully de-
signed balance berween 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 me pedestrian
spines.
More formalized landscape design exists within
the neighborhoods and along major pedestrian
and open space connections. Key opporrunities
for distinctive design features in the Master
Plan include neighbothood Central Spines.
campus entries, and open spaces. The campus
open space nerwork also includes 4,200 linear
feet of natural bluffs and steep slopes that pro-
vide opponunities for views, pedestrian circula-
tion, and passive recreation. Design guidelines
for how bom formal and informal landscape
design is integrated intO natural and built
environments of the campus are included in
Appendix A.

3.7 Central Spines
D~oped as a singular element rhat would
conneCt rhe Lower Campus and Mid Campus
facilities in rhe original 1995 Plan. the Cenrral
Spine concept was envisioned as a linear com-
posite of circulation routes and open spaces
that would accommodare employees, material
movement, and service and emergencyvehicles.
The spine would also "encourage interaction
between Genentech employees by providing
garhering places and amenity spaces along rhe
spine." TIlls concept of rhe Central Spine as a
neighborhood asset and circulation parh has
been refined and expanded on in the Master
Plan.
Central Spines, as defined within this Master
Plan, establish rhe primary Structure of each
campus neighborhood. Rarher than a single el-
ement through rhe entire campus, each Central
Spine responds to the specific characrer, set-
ting, and topography of each neighborhood.
The Central Spines function as rhe primary
circulation and organizational element of each
campus neighborhood: Spaces for employee
gatherings, services, and amenities are located
off of rhe Central Spine. Pedestrian circulation
and activities are the primary functiollS of each
spine, wirh vehicular traffic restriCted to emer-
gency access.
521 G......te<:h F.ciIiti..T...-Year Mast.. Plan
Neighborhood open spaces will complement

3.8 Building Orientation,
Massing, and Scale
For discussion o/Floor Arta Ratio, Itt Stction 2.3: Articulation
Land USt and Dtvtlopmmt Program.
This section addresses the overall scale and
fotm of development within the Genentech
Campus in terms of orientation, 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 ropography, location, intensity,
and land uses, the overall massing structure of
the campus addresses rwo major development
concepts:
1. Development scale throughout the campus
will support pedestrian-oriented environ.
ment along major circulation roures: and
2. Development will follow the principle of
"stepping down" to the waterfront ro allow
buildings on the bluffs to maintain view
corridors.
This development structure is expressed in
terms of specific building and massing con-
cepts, including building heights, articulation,
and development scale.
Orientation and Relationship to Street
Orienting campus buildings and entries to ma.
jor public meets will continue ro be a guiding
design principle for new campus development.
This direct relationship of building activity ro
the street is accomplished hy the placement
of building entries and fenestration along the
street edge. Building massing and design will
also support this orientation through articula-
tion of entries and the street wall. Likewise,
building placement within the site will focus
on establishing a clear and distinct edge and
identity along the meet.
541 Genentech Facilities Ten-Year Master Plan
Variations in building massing, height, and
srreetwall are essential factors of a pedesttian.
oriented campus environment. An intimate
scale of development can be achieved thtough
hori2.ontal and vertical articulation-varied
building heights within neighborhoods or
building clusters, recesses and projections,
window articulation and treatments, and roof
forms contribute ro overall campus texture
and character. Building articulation and visual
interest are especially important for large floor.
plate structures such as those needed for R&D
and manufacruring facilities with significant
massing along the street or Central Spine level
Pedestrian scale can be achieved with street-
level entrances and fenestration, canopies,
COntrasts in wall treatment, hori2.ontal articula.
tion, and varied landscaping. Articulating and
stepping back higher floors of taller buildings
allows greater sun exposure and views and
minimi2.es overall building mass at the ground
level. Detailed standards for massing are given
in rhe Urban Design Guidelines in Chapter 6.
Ensure that building heights and
massing maintain key views to the
Bay and San Bruno Mountain.
Maximize Genentech skyline (within
FAA height regulations) along San
Bruno Hill to establish a strong visual
identity for the campus from US-l01
and the East of 101 Area.
Take advantage of building massing to
provide sun access and articulation
to wind-sheltered pedestrian spaces,
courtyards, and entrances.
-228-
Building Scale and Setbacks
In addition to FAA standards, the Master Plan
keeps a maximum building height limitation
of ]50 feet above ground level on buildings
within the campus. (Figure 3.8-] shows FAA
height and noise srandards, as well as the 60db
noise COntour.)
Strong consideration of views and access ro
narurallight will be given in the si2.e and locat.
ing of new buildings. Additionally, building
placement and sire configurarion will IrulXimize
and consolidate occupiable open space with a
maxintum lot coverage of 60 percent. Likewise,
consistent building setbacks will strengrhen
the identifiable street edge, establishing a
rbythm and repetition with adjacent buildings.
However, modulation of the building edge
with courtyards and building articulation will
be key in providing visual interest. A more
derailed discussion of building scale and place-
ment is provided in architectural guidelines
in Appendix A and the South San Francisco
Municipal Code, Chapter 20.39 and 20.40.
Articulate larger-f1oorplate structures
to break down the scale and massing
of the bullding and to allow visual and
physical porosity of the campus.
Require horizontal building articula-
tion along Central Spines and major
pathways to create Human Scale.
Maximize sunlight on pathways
and open spaces in Central Spines
and courtyards through building
step backs.

Wind
The windy and often cool San Francisco Bay
climate plays an important role in defining the
character and design of the Genentech Campus.
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 monrhs, as illustrated in Figure
3.8.2. 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 di-
rect pedestrian paths could expand the overall
walkabiliry of the campus. To foster this pe-
destrian movement, wind breaks and sheltered
areas will be key elements of landscape, build-
ing, and site design. Building design will also
consider enrry conditions ro buildings using
landscape, revolving doors, or any other archi-
recrural solutions.

Seasonal Varlabll1ty
Winds are srrongest during the late spring,
summer, and early fall. Fall, wimer and spring
mornings are usually calm, with lighr 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. Figure 3.8-3 shows the general direction
of wind throughout the year.

3.9 Sustainable Design
The creation of a campus environment that
embodies a commitment to physical and so-
cial well-being is an important element of the
Master Plan. Several strategies are directed ro-
ward sustainable growth and design, including
land use that emphasizes infill deveIopment and
suuctUIed parking, as well as transporration
programs that encourage the use of alternarive
transir ro and from the campus. These strategies
direcdy or indirecdy promote sustainable devel-
opment patterns for future growth. They also
contribute to the City of South San Francisco's
goals of protecting, conserving, and enhancing
the city and regional environmental resources.
Sustainable site planning practices, such as
those that decrease run-off or the need for wa- .
ter for irrigation, are especially critical for the
Genentech campus because of the area's prox-
imity ro the bay shoreline and habitat. Design
strategies that enhance the environmental
quality of the Genentech campus include habi-
tat-appropriate landscape design with low wa-
ter consumption planting, as well as increased
permeable surfaces through infilI development
and green space over existing surface parking
areas.
Working in tandem with resource conservation,
campus building and infrastructure design
is focused on minimizing energy and water
consumption, while maximizing the use of
renewable resources. Genentech has identi.
fied specific goals and strategies to promote
sustainable and environmentally appropriate
site planning practices and faciliry design for
future development.
Create a campus environment that
enhances human health, comfort,
and performance.
Minimize resource consumption and
enhance environmental quality of
the campus.
Maximize productive life of new fa-
cilities through durable, flexible, and
high-quality spaces.
Utilize a comprehensive approach
to design that relates site planning,
building design, and landscape design
to the natural campus environment,
respecting the integrity and biodi.
versity of natural systems throughout
the campus.
Incorporate the analysis of sus-
tainable design solutions into the
development process, considering
sustainable principles that minimize
resource consumption and maximize
on-site conservation.
Employ architectural design methods
that include such aspects as the use
of solar shading devices and white
roofing materials control solar gain.
Utilize high recycle-content building
materials, when appropriate.
-231-
Integrate energy- and water-conserv-
ing electrical and mechanical systems
throughout campus buildings and
neighborhoods.
Minimize impervious surfaces such
as large surface parking lots and un-
planted plazas.
Coordinate development with pro-
grams and strategies that support
public and alternative transit modes.
Continue participation in the PG&E
Savings by Design Program, maintain-
ing successful strategies that improve
facility performance in excess of a
10 percent savings above Title 24
requirements.
Genentech Facilities Ten-Year MasterPlan 157
TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING
The growth of the Genentech Campus will in.
crease the volume of people that come to cam-
pus. The Master Plan includes projects to sup-
pon the projected traffic volumes and pro-
grams to encourage the use of alternarive modes
of transportation. The Master Plan includes
guidelines to ensure adequare parking for visi-
tors and employees, as well as convenient and
efficient movement between differem 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
(TDM) Programs, and parking efficiency.
This chaprer outlines several initiatives that:
promote rraflic reduction and a1rernatives
to automobile use: expand and improve the
shurtle program; improve parking; meamline
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
future change.
Located neat the San Francisco International
Airpon (SFO), Genentech is connected to
regional transportation facilities primarily
through surface arterial streets and shurtle ve.
hicles. Figure 4-1 illustrates the campus loca.
tion in the context of the San Francisco re-
gional transit system. US-1O I, located less than
one mile west of the Central Campus, provides
a crucial linkage. The South San Francisco
Calcrain station is located less than one mile
away from the campus as well, and is currendy
proposed ro be relocated to enable shurtle pick-
ups directly from the East of 101 Area. The
South San Francisco BART station-also con-
nected to the campus by shurtles-is located at
Mission Road and McLellan Drive.
A vast majority of Genentech South San
Francisco employees live on the San Francisco
Peninsula, as shown in Figure 4-2. The proposed
expansion of current transit focuses upon these
key areas of high employee concenrration.
-233-
The following concepts are further refined in
goals and policies for each transponation and
parking issue:
Strengthening and expanding Genen-
tech's comprehensive transportation
demand management (TOM) program
to minimize single-occupancy vehi-
cles traveling to campus throughout
the day, and to meet or exceed the
South San Francisco Congestion Man-
agement Plan, the City's TOM Ordi-
nance, which targets for a 30 percent
employee participation (see Section
4.3);
Streamlining campus circulation and
connectivity of all neighborhoods In
the East of 101 Area for shuttles, ser-
vice vehicles, and goods movement;
Minimizing intracampus auto traffic
by strategically concentrating parking
areas within each neighborhood;
Creating a flexible parking supply In-
frastructure and implementation plan
that responds to development and
parking demand needs (see Section
4.4);
Accommodating multiple modes of
transportation on the existing campus
street network; and
Complying with the city's transporta-
tion objectives for the entire East of
101 Area as well as the regional ob-
jectives.

4.1 Automobile Circulation
Given the Genenrech Campus' regional loca-
tion, automobiles will likely remain as the pri.
mary form of access to the campus in the fore-
seeable future. As parr of the Master Plan prep.
aration, a comprehensive analysis of traffic op-
erations in the East of 101 Area was condUct-
ed.
Subsequently, an additional traffic analy-
sis was conducted as a part of the Master
Envirornnental Impact RepOrt (MEIR) pre.
pared for the Master Plan. Potential automo.
bile traffic impacrs and Street improvements are
detailed in that document.
This section describes the street and highway
system serving the Genentech Master Plan
area.
Regional Access
The South San Francisco Genentech Campus is
connected ro the surrounding community and
greater Bay Area through several arterial streets.
East Grand Avenue is a primary, east-wesr ar-
terial street that accesses Downtown South San
Francisco and US-lOI. 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.
The freeway system is made up of US-lOI
(Bayshore Freeway), a printary 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 inter.
changes to the weSt of Genenrech's main cam-
pus. Freeway speeds and capacities are often
slower during commute or peak periods due to
traffic congestion.
62 I Genenrech Facilities Ten-Year Master Plan
Local Street System
Figure 4.1.1 illustrates the street system serving
the Genentech Campus and identifies roadway
classilications. This classification system in.
cl udes:
. 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 arreri.
a1s: 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.
. 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 mips, and sidewalks.
. Local Streets. Local streets provide direct ac-
cess to abutting properties as their primary
functions. Local streets have no more than
two travel lanes.
Automobiles on the Genentech Campus share the street
space with shuttle vehicles, b;cycles, and pedestrians.

4.2 Transit and Shuttle
Services
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-IOI, is pOOt
and inconvenient. Therefore, Genentech must
rely on supplementary shuttle services ro con-
nect employees on campus wirh transit srops or
stations off-campus.
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 (TOM) programs
and parking strategies, these services will pro-
vide incentive for alternative modes of transit
to the Genentech Campus.
Caltrain and BART
Caltrain and BART provide rail transportation
services to a variery 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 direction during the AM and PM com.
mute hours. Off-peak service is less frequent.
Shuttle service to off-campus locarions is di.
rected towards serving these rail stations.
The current Caltrain Station is located under-
neath the intersection of East Grand Avenue
and US.W1. Only local and some limited (skip.
Stop) trains srop at this station, approximately
evety hour to half hour. There are no plans to
have express (Bahy Bullet) service stops at this
station now or in the future. It is most proba-
ble that Caltrain will continue ro decrease the
number of local trains and increase the num.
ber of limited and express trains. This Strate-
gy could result in less service ro the South San
64 I Genentech Facilities Ten-Year Masrer Plan
Francisco station, though ir would produce
higher ridership overall. Genenrech will part-
ner 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 closesr Caltrain Bahy
Buller Stop at the Millbrae Station should be
explored to encourage more employees to use
Caltrain, as illustrated in Figure 4.2-1.
In the near future, the Joint Powers Authority
thar runs Caltrain and the City of South San
Francisco are planning to move the South San
Francisco Caltrain station several hundred feet
ro the south to greatly improve pedestrian, bike,
rransit/shuttle accessibility, as well as passenger
waiting area and platform amenities.
In addition to Caltrain, Genenrech employees
have access ro BART, a regional rail rapid tran-
sit service. In 2003, BART completed the San
Francisco International AiIpoIt (SFO) exten.
sion and opened irs 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 starion, also near
Genentech, is located berween South San
Francisco and SFO at the intersection ofI-380
and near EI Camino Real. Direct service ro the
Caltrain nation at Millbrae, San Francisco, and
many East Bay locations is provided through.
out the day. BART has reduced service on the
MillbraelSFO extension and runs trains only
from the Dublin/Pleasanron line. As a result,
Genentech has shifted some of its shuttle ser-
vice back to the Glen Park station, which offers
a faster, cheaper trip for commuters and pro-
vides service to all BART trains. Limited con-
nections from the South San Francisco Station
and the Gateway area will continue ro be pro.
vided. (See Figure 4.2-2 for BART shuttle
routes).

Bus (SamTrans)
The San MateO County Transit District
(SamTrans) provides bus and pararransit ser-
vice within San Mareo County. SamTrans pro-
vides local and regional bus service in South
San Francisco-however the only bus service
in rhe East of 101 area is along South Airport
Boulevard south of Mitchell Avenue (approxi-
matelyone and a half miles from the Genemech
campus). SamTrans also operates several ex-
press buses to downtown San Francisco along
US 101. However, these buses do not currently
Stop in South San Francisco and rhus do not
benefit Genentech employees.
Off. Campus Shuttle
Adding private bus service in areas of high em-
ployee residential concentrations could encour-
age transir ridership to Genenr<;ch. These po-
tenriol regional shurtle routes are discussed in
the following section.
Genentech provides several campus shuttle ser-
vices. Off-campus shunles access South San
Francisco BART station, Glen Park BART
Starion, South San Francisco Caltrain Starion,
as well as Genentech Campuses in Vacaville
and Redwood City. Shurrles connecting
Genentech's campus with the Coltrain and
BART stations in South San Francisco are pro-
vided by Genenrech.
In addition to local shuttle service, the
Genentech Transit and Shuttle Implememation
Plan includes potential implementation of ded-
icated shurrle services to off-campus destina-
tions of high employee population such as San
Francisco. Genentech will investigate demand
for dedicated regional shuttle services. The fol-
lowing TDM section (Section 4.3) describes
the essential components of the Genentech
Shuttle and Transit Implementation Plan.
Intracampus Shuttle
The shuttle system also provides high frequen-
cy service between Central Campus neigh-
bothoods and the Gareway Campus. This in-
tracampus shurtle service will expand to oth-
er significant leased or owned properties once
they are developed
The Genentech Transit and Shuttle Plan for
2006-2016 addresses the need for a stream-
lined shuttle system that improves rider pro-
ductivity. Illumated in Figure 4.2-4, the plan
shows changes to the existing system that in-
clude combined routes, revised StOp locations
to improve 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 rapidly and avoid conflictS with autos, pe-
destrians, and rrucks. The Transit and Shuttle
Plan therefore allows for faster, more frequent,
and more reliable shuttle services that are easy
to understand and access within a rhree min-
ute walk of all buildings and parking spaces on
campus.
In conjunction with these shuttle changes, up-
graded shuttle stop amenities such as infor.
mation, signage, route branding, pedestrian
crosswalks, and ADA accessibiliry will improve
the qualiry and accessibiliry of shuttle services.

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 accesses
Downtown San Francisco (Ferry Building)
and the East Bay (Alameda). According to the
WTA, [he service will be provided every 30
minutes during peak periods and travd times
to San Francisco and the East Bay destinations
will also be 30 minutes. It is anticipated [hat
the service would commence sometime around
January 2008. (See Figure 4.2-3). 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 shutde service.
Enhance participation in alternative
transportation modes to minimize
commuter traffic and parking re-
quirements through expanded transit
and TOM programs.
Improve the quality of shuttle ser-
vices, connections, and amenities
to enhance transportation efficiency
and campus environment.
Improve information, accessibility
and brandi ng of shuttle vehicles and
stops.
Expand Genenbus program to serve
areas with large employee residential
concentrations as may be warranted
by sufficient potential riderShip.

tem to other South San Francisco
campus locations as they are devel-
oped to reduce local traffic.

Named as one of EPKs award-winning "Best
Workplaces for Commuters," Genemech of-
fers employees several programs as a1ternarives
to commuting by private automobile. In 2005,
Genenrech conducted a detailed cordon count
that found rhar approximately 24 percent of
South San Francisco Genentech employees
commuting during peak hours arrived via Cat-
pool, vanpool, transit, bicycle, or means other
than driving alone. Genentech estimates that
at least an additional 10 percenr of employees
do not commute during peak hours.
. Mitigate expected increases in traffic result-
ing from employment growth. There is potential to boost the proportion of
Genentech employees who participate in high

pool and carpool programs, in conjunction
. Promote efficient use of existing transporta- with altered parking operations. Marketing of
tion facilities. carpoollvanpool programs can be particular-
ly targeted toward neighborhoods with a high
concentration of Genenrech employees. Table
4.3-1 describes the currenr Genentech TOM
Program and proposed additions and improve-
menrs.
4.3 Transportation Demand
Management
City of South San Francisco
Transportation D~mand Management
The City of South San Francisco adopt-
ed Chapter 20.120 Transportation Demand
Management (TOM) of the Municipal Code to
maximize use of the City's existing transpona-
tion resources and roadway infrastructure. The
ordinance requires that all nonresidential de.
velopmenr projects expected to generate more
than 100 average daily auto trips, or projects
seeking a FAR bonus, implement TDM mea-
sures to reduce vehicle traffic. The specific pur-
poses of the TDM ordinance are to:
. Implement a program designed to reduce
the amount of rraffic generated by new non-
residential deveIopment, or the expansion of
existing nonresidential development.
. Ensure that new developments are designed
to maximize the potential for alternative
transportation use.
. Establish minimum TOM requirements for
all new non-residential deveIopment.
. Allow reduced parking requirements for
projectS implementing the requirements of
the TDM ordinance.
. Establish an ongoing monitoring and en-
forcement program to ensure thar the mea-
sures are implemented.
70 I Genemech Faci!ities Ten-Year Master Plan
The Genentech Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) Plan describes the major
programs and implementation strategies that
will meet the City's TDM goals. This section
provides a summary of this plan.
Genentech TOM Plan
These TDM programs will be audited through
condUCting employee commute surveys on an
annual basis to check participation. Audirs
can he completed using cordon counts, which
would count enrering auto traflic, shurrle riders,
bicyclists and pedestrians, or parking occupan-
cy surveys. If participation rates are less than
the target for the year, Genentech will consid.
er reassessing its strategies to increase involve-
ment.

Genentech will also submir a triennial report or
audit that will stare whether the developmenr
has achieved the required percent of a1ternarive
mode-use. These reporrs will be subject ro the
City's Municipal Code and described in greater
derail in the TOM Plan.
TOM Programs
Genentech currenrly markets its TDM through
promorional programs and a comprehensive
transponation intranet site. To encourage and
assist employees in using alternative transpor-
tation, employees utilizing a1ternarive modes
are qualified for the Guaranteed Ride Home
Program and pre-rax COmmuter benefits.
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 commut-
ing benefits as carpools, although a vanpool
consists of seven to ]5 passengers, including
the driver. and the vehicle is typically leased
by a vanpool rental company such as VPSI or
Enterprise.
Guaranteed Ride Home Program
Genentech offers a guaranteed ride home to all
participanrs of alternative commute programs.
The Guaranteed Ride Home Program provides
a ride home in the event of an emergency.
Bicycle Facilities
Genentech provides free bicycle storage lockers
and racks at most Genentech buildings, with
over 100 private bike lockers that can be reo
served by employees. Locker requestS can be
submitted on the intranet site and are assigned
on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition,
Genentech provides Bicycle Buddy matching
and bicycle maps and resources. Shower facili- .
ties and locker rooms will be clustered among
the campus neighborhoods to assure maximum
availability of facilities.

-246-
Achieve an enhanced reduction of
single occupancy vehicles (SOY) used
by Genentech employees of up to 70
percent of peak hour commute trips.
Increase TOM staff to maintain, co-
ordinate, and implement the Genen-
tech TDM program.
Expand existing programs such as ex-
isting car and van pool programs. See
the Genentech TDM Pllln for greater
detail.
Monitor results through an annual
survey of employees and triennial
program audits, periodically updat-
ing the program as necessary.
4.4 Parking
Availability of parking for employees and visi.
tors is vital to Genentech's operations. However,
Genentech needs to balance parking availabil.
ityat the campus with the need to promote use
of alternative transportation modes by employ-
ees.
Just as critical as the amount of overall park-
ing 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 opera.
tional costs and complexiry.
Working in combination with an effective cam-
pus parking Strategy, programs that encourage
employees to use alternative modes of transit
can reduce overall demands for new spaces. As
discussed in Section 4.3: Transportation and
Demand Management, Genentech currently
has an outstanding TDM program resulring in
approximately 24 percent of its peak hour com-
muters using alternate transponation. During
the next decade Genentech has a goal to in-
crease this percentage to at least 30 percent, al.
though it is conceivable to meet or exceed this
goal in the next rwo years.
Parking Demand
Under the Master Plan, the actual parking
demand on campus is measured by planned
changes in growth and mulrimoclal transporta-
tion services. The parking demand response is
quantified through standard demand elastici-
ties thar are derived from research studies and
empirical observations.
The parking requirement established in the
current Genentech R&D Overlay Disrrict is
1.6 spaces per 1,000 gross square feet (gsf) of
building area. This ratio was established based
on the 2001 Amendment to the 1995 Plan ra-
tios of 2.5 spaces/1,000 gsffor office uses, 1.2
spaces/1,000 for laboratory uses, and 0.9 spac-
es/1,000 gsf for manufacturing and warehouse
uses, and an assumed distribution of building
uses of 27 percent office, 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 zoning ordinance also allows
parking provision to be below the amount typi-
cally required by a factor of 0.95 for short term
periods of less than rwo years to allow for con-
sttuction and other short term uses. This blend-
ed ratio served Genentech well unril the per-
centage of office space began to increase.
Genentech evaluated actual parking need
based on the exisring and projected develop-
ment within the Campus, and proposes uti-
lizing parking ratios for each type of building
function. These functionally-based parking ra-
tios are: 2.75 spaces/1,000 gsf for offices uses:
1.4 spaces/1,000 gsf for laboratory uses: 0.9
spacesJ1,000 gsf for manufacturing: and 0.5
spaces/1,000 gsf for warehouse uses. These ra-
tios are based on actual parking demand and
cutrent TDM participation. As TDM partici.
pation increases, the demand for parking will
decrease proportionately. After the first trien-
nial repon is issued, Genentech will review
its TDM and parking programs with the city
to establish adjustments to the functional ra-
tios accordingly, and then perform subsequent
reviews and adjustments on an annual basis.
Table 4.4-1 demonstrates the ratio adjustments
that could be expected from increased TDM
participation.

Parking Provision
Future parking supply at 30 percent TDM ra-
rios will exceed the parking demand at full
build-out as delineated in the MEIR. Table 4.4.

by neighborhood. Parking will be redisrributed
with greater concentration at campus entries to
minimize on-campus rrailic and promore a safe

prove 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 dJiciency, the devel-
opment process will include locating tempo-
rary surface parking on future building sites.
As these parking lots are converted to build-
ings, parking will be consolidated into parking
structures. Parking in surface lots will be reo
duced significantly but not diminated.

4.5 Service, Goods, and
Freight Movement
Service, goods, and freight mobility is a vital
factor in Genenrech's daily operations. lt 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 freeway interchanges and local aneri.
al streets such as Oyster Point Boulevard and
East GrandAvenue. Items such as hazardous or
fragile materials, perishable food products, and
office supplies have unique destination points
throughout the Genentech Campus.
Freight vehicles generally require special load-
ing docks and are commonly associated with
manufacturing buildings. In the 1995 Plan, a
freighr activity survey indicated 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 ttuck trips.'
The majority of service, goods, and freight ac-
tivity takes place ar Lower, Upper, and West
campus hubs. Table 4.5-1 describes the distti-
bution of these activities at each main hub. The
remaining service vehicle activities are gener.
ally spread throughout campus neighbothoods.
These service vehicles include Genentech vehi-
cles as well as outside contractors who often use
light ttucks or vans.
76 I Genentech Facilities Ten-Year Muter Plan
Table 4.5-1 and Figure 4.5-1 illustrate service
and goods movements at Genentech. The fig-
ure highlights existing and future warehousel .
distribution facilities and outlines paths of
principal service and freight goods movements.
Minor and major arterial routes serve as prima.
ry access to Genentech for ttucks. Service al.
leys provide access to loading docks.
Future Changes
Master Plan buildout projections estimate the
amount of employment and gross floor space at
Genentech will double, although manufactur-
ing uses will decrease from approximately 32
percent ro 11 percent of Genentech 's gross floor .
area. The change in freight trips to Genentech
is expected to be roughly proportional to the
change in manufacturing floor space, while the
number of service and goods trips is expected
to be proportional to the overall building area.
Thetefore, tOtal freight vehicle trips to and from
Genentech will not increase substantially, and
will be primarily focused in the Lower and
West campuses along Forbes Boulevard, East
Grand Avenue, and Allerton Avenue. On the
other hand, service and goods trips may experi-
ence an increase proportional to overall build-
ing area in Lower, West, and Upper campus
hubs.
Maintain efficient freight mobility to
serve Genentech's manufacturing
and service needs.
Locate access driveways to loading
docks, wherever applicable, along
the perimeter or rear of buildings
where interference with building en-
trances, pedestrian flows, and park-
ing maneuvers is minimized.
Where needed, re-orient or relocate
loading docks to match revised truck
access pattern and minimize conflicts
with vehicles, pedestrians, and bicy-
clists.
Maintain reliable access to service
and goods hubs so that vehicles can
load and unload in a timely and ef-
ficient manner.

4.6 Bicycle Movement
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 diiEculr
access across US-JOl and the Caltrain tracks
are impediments to bicycle travel ro and from
the Genentech Campus.
Regional/Local Context
Existing facilities serving bicyclists at the
Genentech Campus include bicycle racks and
lockers which are distributed throughout the
campus.
Several new bicycle facilities have been iden-
tified in the City of South San Francisco's
General Plan (1999) and other studies. Planned
regional and local improvements to rhe region-
al bicycle nerwork in South San Francisco in-
clude:
. Continuous bike lanes at the Oyster Point
Boulevard freeway interchange/crossing;
. Bike path or lanes along Railroad Avenue to
downtown South San Francisco;
. East Grand Avenue bicycle lanes; and
. Caltrain trail extension along east side of
tracks from Gateway to Bay Cove West
(Caltrain Multi-Use Trail Feasibility Study,
1996).
78 I Genentech Facilities Ten-Year Master Plan
These plans are illustrated in Figure 4.6-1 and
are included in plans and sections for Forbes
Boulevard and Grandview Drive in Chapter 3, .
Urban Design. In the future, the City of South
San Francisco should investigate bicycle route
connections between the Genentech Campus
and the regional bicycle network. Connections
to the Bay Trail from regional nerworks, as well
as transit centers, will play an important role in
promoting access to and use of amenities along .
the Bay.
-252-
Work with the City and Caltrain to im-
prove bicycle connections between
the campus and the rest of the city,
including to transit stations.
Add shared bicycle vehicle lanes
where possible (see Figure 4.6-1).
Provide bicycle facilities such as racks
and bicycle lockers in new develop-
ment areas.
Support bicycle accessibility along
the campus primary pedestrian net-
work. (Refer to Figure 3.4-1 for pri-
mary network.)
Preserve public access to the Bay
Trail.
Promote connections between tran-
sit centers and the Bay.

5.1 Domestic Water
5.2 Fire Protection
California Water Service Company (CWSC)
supplies water ro the Genentech South San
Francisco Campus. The mains entering the
Genentech Campus include a I2-inch line in
Forbes Boulevard, a 12-00 line in East Grand
Avenue, and the new lO-inch high-pressure line
in Grandview Drive. These piping sysrems are
fed from the Cal Water I8-inch main supply line
located along Highway 101.
The water system at Genentech in the Upper
Campus is augmented by a 1.5 million gallon
srorage reservoir on the top of the hilL The pipe
and flow capacity for these pipes in their present
condition generally meet the current domestic
water flow requirements. The average use fac-
[013 of warer consumptions per square foot of
occupied buildings are shown in Table C.I in
Appendix C: Utilities.
Domestic water use will increase as Genemech
expands il3 campus. Based on Genemech's po-
tential growth, domestic water usage may in-
crease by as much as 30 to 40 percent over the
next ten years. CWSC has indicated that it has
the capacity ro supply Genentech's projected de-
mand.
82 I Genentech Facilities Ten-Year Master Plan
The clelivery of water for fire protection to Ge-
nenrech buildings uses the same nerwork of pipes
as the domestic water system. CWSC recently
insral1ed a new lQ-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
srorage ranks and/or fire pumps installed for local
pressure conrrol. Tanks and/or pumps are being
added for some locations. A new fire main con.
nection will be added
Fire hydrants in the Genentech area have been
tested by the Fire Department for flow and pres-
sure requirements. Based on that fire flow test
data, the Fire Department has concluded that all
hydrants in the Genentech area meet the fire flow
requirements. (Table C2 inAppendix C describes
existing and projected flows.)
Fire requirementS will be anaiyzed for each addi.
tional proposed building based on the size, type of
consrruction and fire sprinkler system associated
with the building. The fire flow system require-
ments will be analyzed specific to each building
[0 determine if the local system can adequately
handle the fire flow needs. If the local system is
found to be undersized or deteriorating. then the
pipelines will be modiJied by upsizing, new con-
nections, and/or by installing of pumps and ranks
to supply the new requirements.

5.3 Wastewater
The City of South San Francisco provides waste-
warer 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 [Q 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 flows from South
San Francisco, including Genentech, and sev.
eral other cities are collecred and treated at the
WQCP. Once the flows have been treated, the
flows are pumped through a 54 inch force main
located along Genentech's Lower Campus and
then discharged to the Bay at the end ofForbes
Boulevard and DNA Way.
The quantity of sewer discharge is direcrly re-
lated to domestic water use. This analysis as.
sumes that 95 percent of domestic water used is
converted to sewage, excluding direct irrigation
flows. The c::xceptions 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 flows 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 accommodare
this growth. The potential increase in water us-
age, and thus sewer flow 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.
841 Genentech Facilities Ten-Year Master Plan
Based on the 2002 Carollo Sewer Master Plan
for the City's wastewarer system, Pump Sration
#8 (located in the heart of the Genentech man.
ufactUring area in the Lower Campus), with an
existing firm capacity of 990 gallons per min-
ure (GPM), currently does not meet the exist-
ing peak sewer discharge of 11 00 GPM (refer
to Table C-3 in Appendix C). The Ciry is in
the process of updating the Sewer Master Plan
for cutrent conditions based on planned de.
velopment for the East of 101 Area including
future Genentech Expansion. An addendum
to the 2002 Sewer Master Plan (2006 Sewer
Master Plan Addendum) analyzed the sewer
system based on projected land use and flows.
Although the revised flow estintates were less
than previously calculated, necessary system
improvements identilied in the 2002 Sewer
Master Plan are still applicable.
Further development in the East of 101 Area
may require that the City undertake extensive
improvements ro the existing sewer treatment
facilities above and beyond those sewer system
improvements already budgeted in the Capital
Improvement Plan. Although required by in-
creased development in the East of 101 Area,
most of the sewer treatment improvements
will result in cirywide benefits. For this reason,
the City has determined that it is appropriate
that most of these improvements be /inanced
through the issuance of sewer revenue bonds.
-258-
The WQCP capacity has been increased re-
cently to 13 million gallons per day (MGD).
The City of South San Francisco currently does
not limit the amount of flow or the peak pol-
lutant concentrations that industries can dis.
charge. However, the East of 101 Area Plan
requires projects in the East of 101 Area that
are likely to generate large quantities of waste-
water [Q lower their treatment needs through
recycling, on-sire treatment, graywarer irriga-
tion, and other programs where feasible. Man-
ufacturing, processing, and research activities
in the Genentech Central Campus generate
wastewater contaminated with pollutants that
the WQCP was not designed to trear. Thus,
for such wastewater flows, Genentech will con.
tinue ro operate its own on-site waste treatment
and neutralizations systems in accordance with
appropriate permits and regulations. Addition-
ally, Genentech operates its own water puriJi-
cation systems to produce high quality water
for use in its manufacturing processes. Onsite
utilities are primarily located within buildings
and underground.
Genentech will also support and participate in
recycled water program utilizing water gener-
ated outside the campus (e.g. provided through
a City recycle program).

5.4 Storm Drainage
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 elevarion
00.10 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.
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 Genenrech Campus consists of
developed land, with most of the area covered
with impervious surfaces including buildings,
and parking lots or srruaures-all have rela-
tively high run-off coefficientS.
The expansion of the Genenrech Campus will
require new drainage structures and localized
on.site storm drain systems. Although it is
possible that the overall storm warer 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 Genenrech Campus is the replace-
menr 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
hy the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

5.5 Natural Gas
5.6 Electricity
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
nnderground pipelines:
. 3 foot Pipeline at Grandview
. 4 foot Pipeline at Forbes Avenue
. 8 foot Pipeline at East Grand Avenue
The East Grand Avenue line was installed re-
cently [0 serve the South Campus. This new
enhanced service connects ro the existing loop
through the Point San Bruno Boulevard line
that ties into the Grandview Drive line.
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
(I5 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 thar it has suf-
ficient capacity to accommodate the potential
50 percent increase in natural gas loads that
may occur due to Genentech growth thtough
the year 2016. Refer to Figure 5- 5.1 for the
natural gas distribution site plan.
88 I Genentech Facilities Ten-Year Master Plan
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 nerwork from the East Grand
Avenue substation. This enables PG&E some
flexibility to continue ro provide service to
buildings through switching if problems are
encountered with cabling.
Each building (or cluster of buildings) is me-
rered at either the primary or secondary rates.
Most buildings are metered at the secondary
480 or 208 volt rates.
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 (rererro Table C-3 in Appendix C).

5.7 Site Communications
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 sufficienr ca-
pacity to accommodate Genentech's potential
expansion.
Data Communications
The Genentech facility dara 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 compurers are located
in various facilities. Security systems alarms and
fire alarms are reported to a central securiry op-
erations center.
Emergency Systems
All Genentech personnel receive trauung in
relevant emergency workplace procedures and
practices. Genenrech's EHS team and designar-
ed production and research personnel also have
additional training in emergency preparedness
and response, and serve as first responders for
the entire campus. Genentech currendy has an
A1temate 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.

5.8 Campus Stand-alone and
Centralized Utilities
The Genentech Campus is designed with cen-
tralized distribution of several primary utilities
between buildings for optimization of capital
invesrment as well as efficient operation of
equipment and related systems. Mosr areas of
the site allow for either underground or "in
building" distribution. However, operations
within the Lower Campus portion of the sire
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 Genenteclls opera.
tions within that portion of the Lower Cam-
pus. The Mid Campus portion of the site may
centralize utilities at a central utility plant.
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, in
secure utility yards, or routed through the fa-
cilities themselves. Utilities used on-sire include
the following:
. Steam boilers and related systems
. Hot and chilled water systems and related
systems
. Refrigeration systems
. Purified water systems
. Liquefied and compressed gas systems
. Waste treatment or neutralization systems
Emergency Power
-264-
Central Utility Plants serve the Lower Cam-
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.
The Mid Campus buildings are currendy served
by utility sysrems 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.
5.9 Co-generation Facility
Based on potential facility growth, Genentech
is investigaring the feasibility of Co-Generation
(Co-Gen). The Co-Gen plant would combine
primary power and secondary utility generation
to support the Mid Campus expansion and
CXlnversion of other existing utilities throughout
the campus to the new system. Co-Gen could
generate power independent of 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 hearing 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 hy workplace
safety, quality assurance, and environmental
laws, and Genentech is subject to inspections
and oversight by numerous federal, state and
local agencies.
In general, biorechnology companies - like
pharmaceutical companies, research universi-
ties and many leading hospitals - use chemical,
radioactive, biohazardous, and other materials.
Wastes generated by these research, develop-
ment and production processes are also subject
to Stringent legal requirements, and are man.
aged hy Genentech's Environmental Health
and Safety (EHS) Department.
Usage and Storage of appropriate hazardous
materials and related waste will CXlntinue 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
proponional to Genentech's growth.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Design Guidelines Concepts
Genentech Corporate Principles
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
applied consistendy throughOut the Campus
in order to convey a singular and unified cor-
porate campus. New design will reinforce the
continuity of Genentech's recendy built facili-
ties while optimizing creativity and foStering
a high level of dlicacy 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 toleranr
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.
Genentech has established a fundamental set of
values which are reBected 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
subsequendy drive the guidelines and standards
entailed in the Master Plan:
. Commitment to research as a "science based

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).

A.B-) Signage
Signage is an important element, contributing
to the overall identity of the campus, as wdI
as providing a means of identifYing individual
buildings. Sign design reinforces Genentech's .
image within the South San Francisco commu-
nity and a commitment to a quality environ-
ment. In addition, signage serves as a key way-
finding tool for employees and visirors as they
move through the campus. Within Genenrech,
there are rwo types of signage: Monument
signage and wayfinding signage. These typolo-
gies are defined and discussed in the following
guidelines.
Monument signage:
Highlight building identity with site
signage as well as signage on buildings.
Signage information should include
building numbers and street addresses.
- Provide monument signage at main ve.
hicle and pedestrian enrry to each build-
ing.
Locate signage in landscaped areas, where
possible.
Maintain appropriate levels of lighting
on all building identification signage.
. Wayfinding signage
Indicare direction and/or location of im.
POrtant campus services, access points,
and amenities, such as loading docks,
lobbies, and ADA access and entries.
. Use signage as an integral part of the campus
fabric to highlight campus entries, pedes-
trian walkways, building numbers and ad-
dresses, and special open spaces.
lU I Genentech F.cilitiesTen-Year Master Plan
. Design both monument and wayfinding
signage to be uniform in style, font, and col.
or, to lend corporare identity and aestheti-
cally unify the campus.

ployees come ro work every day. The siting and
size of displays will be approved by the Plan-
ning Commission.

DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25, 2006
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Reducing traffic congestion and air pollution are critical to maintaining a healthy
economy and lifestyle within the city of South San Francisco. Traffic congestion results
in time lost to residents and commuters and increased demand on City fiscal resources
for roadway construction and maintenance. Mobile sources, such as automobiles,
account for 50% of all air pollution within South San Francisco.
As part of their 10-year 2016 Master Plan, Genentech prepared a Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) Master Plan in September 2006. This plan is developed to
achieve a minimum 30% alternative mode-use rate to address both traffic and air
quality concerns in South San Francisco. The plan assumed occupancy based on a
speculative, future six million square-foot campus and a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.69.
This comprehensive plan includes City ordinance-required and extra measures, annual
survey monitoring and triennial reporting. The plan has a variety of infrastructure and
incentive-based measures that encourage all forms of alternative mode-use such as car
and vanpool, transit and shuttles, bicycling, walking, and telecommuting.
Other measures include an expansive commuter and internal shuttle program, daily
commute allowance/subsidy program, Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program,
preferential carpool parking, showers and bicycle facilities, commuter incentives and an
extraordinary number of on-site amenities designed to support car-free employees. An
important feature, although not a formal TDM plan measure, is the modest parking
availability planned to discourage single occupancy vehicle (SOV) use.
This plan is performance-based with the TDM Master Plan goal of achieving a 30%
alternative mode-use by Genentech employees. The mode-use will be monitored
annually vvith the first employee commute survey to be conducted two years after
approval of the Genentech Master Plan. An alternative mode-use summary report will
be submitted to the City's Chief Planner after the first employee commute survey has
been conducted. Every three years thereafter, a triennial report will be prepared by the
City to audit the employee mode-use rate. It should be acknowledged that efforts to
reduce drive-alone commuting and expand the mode options available to commuters
may take several years to develop and mature to their full capacity.
The elements contained in this TDM Master Plan are consistent with other South San
Francisco employee commute programs and meet the measures required by the City
and the 30% alternative mode-use goal. A summary of city-required and corresponding
Genentech measures is provided on the following page.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
Genentech, Inc., one of the world's leading biotech companies, is a drug development
company that delivers innovative medicines to patients with serious or life-threatening
medical conditions. Their corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility are both
located at 1 DNA Way in South San Francisco, California, as shown in Figure 1.
Genentech currently has 7,500 employees based at the South San Francisco central
campus and has plans to expand substantially over the next 10 years.
In order to facilitate expansion, Genentech has updated its Master Plan, originally
created in 1995, to guide the company's growth and development of the central campus.
The central campus is anticipated to grow to approximately six million-square feet
during the IO-year planning period. This expansion represents a 100% increase in space
compared with the current central campus development. The Master Plan envisions
Genentech meeting its potential space requirements by both the re-development of
buildings that Genentech currently o'Wll.S and occupies, and by the re-development of
expansion property that Genentech has recently acquired or may acquire during the 10-
year planning period.
Report Purpose
This report presents the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Master Plan to
accompany the updated Genentech Master Plan and discusses how the plan satisfies the
City of South San Francisco's TDM ordinance. A TDM Plan is a set of strategies,
measures and incentives designed to encourage employees to walk, bicycle, carpool,
use public transportation,. or use other alternatives to driving alone in private
automobiles. TDM measures increase mobility while using existing transportation
systems and boost the economic efficiency of the current transportation infrastructure.
These measures are also designed to improve air quality, save energy and reduce traffic
congestion.
Convenience, reduce travel times, and cost are the primary factors affecting
transportation mode choice. Options must be considered on a case-by-case basis as
some measures that work well for some people or types of businesses do not work as
well for others. An effective TDM Plan provides multiple options and incentives and is
flexible enough to allow customization to meet the varied needs of individual
employees.
Genentech is committed to being a good corporate citizen and neighbor within the
community and understands the importance of minimizing environmental impacts as it
expands. As demonstrated by their mission statement, Genentech embraces a
philosophy that the promotion of wellness and high standards contributes to the health
of the whole community. The mission statement addresses the wellness goals for
employees and the community:

September 25, 2006
Genentech's mission is to be the leading biotechnology company, using human
genetic information to develop novel medicines for serious and life-threatening
diseases. We commit ourselves to high standards of integrity in contributing to
the best interests of patients, the medical profession, our employees, our
communities and our stockholders. 1
As a developer and provider of medicines for serious and life-threatening diseases,
Genentech's philosophical approach for improving the state of human health is also
demonstrated by their environmental programs designed to investigate the
"immeasurable connections between human health and the environment... with the
two so closely linked, we see environmental protection as one more way that Genentech
can help enhance and extend lives". The Genentech Master Plan improves and expands
the campus facilities for the next 10-year period to accommodate future increases in
research and development demands. As part of this planning process, Genentech
embraces the air quality and wellness benefits to be gained by the development and
implementation of the TDM Master Plan.
As indicated in the Master Plan, Genentech seeks to offer an attractive, creative,
productive, and comfortable environment for its employees. Genentech's current and
future TDM programs focus on reductions in congestion and pollution by promoting
ex-tensive and innovative alternative methods of commuting. These comprehensive
pregrams include a wide variety of benefits, services and programs designed to make it
easier and more convenient for employees to manage the quality-of-life issues juggled
ben,veen work and everyday life.
Genentech TDM Master Plan Goals
Genentech strongly supports the City of South San Francisco's policy of focusing
clustered development along major transportation corridors. Genentech campus sites
are strategically located near to, and are served by U.S. Highway 101 and Interstate 280,
several Caltrain stations, and a BART station.
The comprehensive trip-reduction measures identified in this report are essential to
realizing Genentech's trip-reduction potential in South San Francisco. The combination
of these critical factors will provide the momentum to maintain a 30% alternative mode-
use rate for existing and future campus facilities.
Through monitoring efforts such as the annual survey of employees to determine
transportation mode split - Genentech will be better able to focus transportation
coordination efforts and encourage tenant employees to use alternative transportation.
The first official mode-use survey report will be submitted to the City of South San
Francisco two years after approval of the Genentech Master Plan.

September 25,2006
Regulatory Setting
Chapter 20.120 of the Municipal Code outlines the TDM objectives for the City of South
San Francisco. The specific purposes of Chapter 20.120 are to:
· Implement a program designed to reduce the amount of traffic generated by new
non-residential development, and the expansion of existing non-residential
development, pursuant to the City's police power and necessary in order to
protect the public health, safety and welfare.
· Ensure that expected increases in traffic resulting from growth in employment
opportunities in the City of South San Francisco will be adequately mitigated.
· Reduce drive-alone commute trips during peak traffic periods by using a
combination of services, incentives, and facilities.
· Promote the more efficient utilization of existing transportation facilities and
ensure that new developments are designed to maximize the potential for
alternative transportation usage.
· Establish minimum TDM requirements for all new non-residential development.
· Establish an ongoing monitoring and enforcement program to ensure that
measures are implemented.
The TDM requirements apply to all non-residential developments located on lands
within the jurisdiction of the City of South San Francisco expected to generate 100 or
more average daily trips. The base required alternative mode-use for all projects is 28%.
Additionally, developments with a floor area ratio (FAR) above minimum are subject to
further the alternative mode-use requirements. Genentech's central campus, classified
as "Genentech R&D Overlay" under the City of South San Francisco's General Plan
land use classification, currently has aFAR of 0.52. The Master Plan calls for expansion
that will result in an ultimate FAR of 0.69, which is subject to a 30% alternative mode-
use requirement.
2.0 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT GOALS
The basic premise of TDM is the maximum utilization of existing transportation
resources. The City of South San Francisco, as is typical of other urban areas in the
United States, has hundreds of millions of dollars invested in roadway infrastructure
and public transit infrastructure. The goal of TDM is to more efficiently and
economically take advantage of these major capital investments.
The following are three basic goals that can be achieved through effective utilization of
TDM measures:
1) Convert trips to an alternative mode of transportation (e.g., transit, carpools or
vanpools, bicycling, walking)
2) Provide technological solutions (e.g., compressed natural gas, electric/hybrid
vehicles, or other zero-emission vehicles)
3) Eliminate trips (e.g., compressed work weeks, telecommute or telework)
m The Hoyt Company
Page 4

DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25, 2006
Until recently within the United States, the answer to relieving congestion on roads and
in parking structures, was to build more roads and parking structures (similar in
concept to building another manufacturing plant to expand productivity on levels).
Current economics and limited resources affect the ability to build and maintain more
roads or parking structures. This reality necessitates better utilization of the existing
transportation infrastructure (similar to adding a second shift at an existing plant). To
this end, TDM measures support the transition to a greater use of existing alternative
transportation options.
The measures and programs outlined in this plan support and meet the 30% trip
reduction goal as identified by the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance 1300-
2001.
Current Genentech TDM Program
Genentech operates a comprehensive and successful TDM program aimed at reducing
the use of single-occupancy private vehicles by their employees. The program
addresses daily commute-to-work trips as well as business-related travel during the day
between the various campuses and downtown South San Francisco. The current
program elements emphasize measures that are transit-oriented, include on-site
amenities that support the use of alternative modes of travel, offer flexible hours and
telecommuting as alternatives to traveling during peak periods, and promote
ridesharing. Extensive convenience services are provided on campus - such as ATMs,
credit union, barber shop, dental facility, video rentals, film developing, and dry
cleaning - to minimize off-campus trips. Cafeterias, a childcare facility and a fitness
center are also available to Genentech employees and contribute to reduced single-
occupancy vehicle usage
Using the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance guidelines as an example
target, the estimated number of trips needed to meet a 30% reduction for the current
2006 number of employees estimated to work at Genentech would be 2,250.
This TDM Master Plan also meets many requirements of the Revised C/CAG Guidelines
for th.e Implementation of the Land Use Program approved by the City / County Association
of Governments (C/CAG) of San Mateo County in September 2004.
Future Genentech TDM Program
As noted above, the purpose of this TDM Plan is to identify measures that will facilitate
Genentech's Master Plan, which outlines potential expansion of the central campus to
approximately six million square-feet during the 10-year planning period. This

expansion represents a 100% increase in space compared with the current central
campus development.
In order to minimize the traffic associated with new development identified in the
Master Plan and the costs of building new parking structures, Genentech is currently
exploring several new TDM strategies. Many of these strategies will be implemented
by the end of 2006 but will continue to be refined and expanded over the duration of the
Master Plan. The goal of the future TDM program is to continue to reduce the use of
single-occupancy private cars by Genentech employees while providing efficient, price
competitive, safe and attractive alternative modes of transportation.
3.0 EMPLOYEE MODE SPLIT EAST OF HIGHWAY 101
According to the Commute Profile 2005 Regional Report, prepared by RIDES for Bay
Area Commuters, the San Mateo County alternative mode-use rate is approximately
29% with the Bay Area regional rate comprising approximately 34% alternative modes.
The larger Bay Area alternative mode-use rate is largely a result of the proliferation of
paid parking in the more urbanized core areas, whereas parking is free, or much less
expensive, in many areas of San Mateo County (e.g. the City of South San Francisco).
Tli~ 2005 Employee Transportation Survey conducted by the Alliance identified the San
Mateo County alternative mode-use rate at 29.9%. The overall alternative mode-use
rate for the City of South San Francisco was identified at 30.2%.
In' Fall 2005, an employee commute survey was conducted at a similar biotech
employment center at Britannia Oyster Point in South San Francisco. Results from the
survey indicated an alternative-commute mode rate of 35%. Table 1 shows the
comparison of alternative mode-use rates for the Bay Area region, county of San Mateo,
city of South San Francisco and a similar employment site.

Based on current and historical alternative mode-use data for the South San Francisco
and East of Highway 101 business areas, a 30% alternative mode-use distribution was
estimated for the current number of Genentech employees. This sample scenario
reflects the TDM measures desclibed in this plan. Table 2 shows a possible distribution
example of various alternative transportation modes estimated for life science
employees commuting to South San Francisco.

The implementation of TDM measures identified in this plan will result in an estimated
alternative mode-use rate of more than 30% - representing approximately 2,250
employees from a total of 7,500 (using 2006 numbers). This sample scenario provides a
distribution example of employee alternative transportation choices depicting a typical
workweek day. The actual distribution of transportation modes could vary and will be
identified in future survey results.
4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
During the next 10 years, the Genentech corporate headquarters may expand to
approximately six million square-feet. Located south of the U.S. Highway 101 in South
San Francisco, Genentech's central campus is located in an area known as the birthplace
of the biotechnology industry.
The Genentech TDM Master Plan is designed to maximize opportunities for pedestrian,
bicycle, carpool, transit and shuttle connectivity. These opportunities include:
· A daily commute allowance program that subsidizes employee use of alternative
transportation participation
· Ten percent (10%) of car and vanpool parking (phased stripping) at full build-out
· Free Class I (long-term) and Class II (short-term) bicycle facilities at campus sites
for bicycle commuters
m The Hoyt Company
Page 7
-330-
DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25,2006
· Showers and lockers for bicyclists, pedestrians and other alternative commuters
· Free shuttle services to BART and Caltrain stations are conveniently offered
throughout the campus in addition to dedicated commuter shuttles
· On-site food service
· A substantial number of on-site employee amenities
· Bay Trails access for bicyclists help to create a self-sufficient development
reducing the number of employee trips made daily to and from the project
The 10-year master planned FAR is 0.69. This increased or bonus FAR requires more
stringent annual employee surveys and triennial reporting (auditing) to the City.
Parking will be provided at a reduced ratio. Parking supply is a key factor for
employees choosing how to travel to work. Reduced parking helps to encourage using
alternative commute modes. Table 3 shows a summary of Genentech's 10-year Master
Plan expansion changes.

5.0 PARKING MANAGEMENT
5.1 Parking Supply
Planned parking is expected to accommodate employees, visitors, vendors and service
vehicles.
The ability and willingness to rideshare is directly linked to parking availability. By not
providing an overabundance of parking spaces at full build-out, the project will lay the
groundwork for successful promotion of alternative transportation. Preferential
parking spaces in garages and within 100 feet of building entrances are excellent
incentives that send a clear message to employees and the community that alternative
transportation is important.
Genentech proposes modest blended parking ratios to reflect the evolving development
during the next 10 years. As higher TDM alternative mode rates are achieved and the
commute allowance / subsidy program becomes more integrated, parking demand is
m The Hoyt Company
-331-
Page 8
DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25, 2006
expected to decrease. As parking demand is decreased, parking ratios will also be
decreased accordingly.
5.2 Free Parking for Car and Vanpools and Clean Fuel Vehicles
Parking will be free for all carpool, vanpool and clean-fuel vehicle participants.
5.3 Preferential Car and Vanpool Parking
One effective means of encouraging employees to rideshare and / or use clean-fuel
vehicles is to reserve the most preferred parking spaces for the exclusive use of car and
vanpools. At total build-out, a minimum of 10% of employee parking will be
designated for carpool, vanpool, and clean-fuel vehicles. Genentech will provide car
and vanpool parking spaces in premium, convenient locations (Le., close to buildings, in
the shade, etc.) within 100 feet of the building entrance. These preferential parking
spaces will be specially signed and/ or striped and may require employee registration
and permitting.
Designated carpool and vanpool parking spaces will be available until 9 a.m. for
vehicles displaying Genentech carpool placards, at which time unused spaces will be
open to all Genentech employees. These future preferential parking spots will create a
benefit for current users while also providing a visible incentive for employees that do
not participate in the carpool or vanpool programs.
5.4 Passenger Loading Zones
In order to facilitate the disembarking and embarking of rideshare passengers,
passenger loading/unloading areas are provided in each neighborhood. Passenger
loading zones for carpool and vanpool drop-off are located in the main entrances of
various building sites.
5.5 Motorcycle Parking
Areas are provided for motorcycle parking. Motorcycles produce less air pollution and
occupy less space than automobiles. For these reasons, motorcycles may use carpool
lanes, and are exempt from charges to cross toll bridges during commute hours.
6.0 BAY AREA CARPOOL AND V ANPOOL RIDEMA TCHING SERVICE
Carpools in the Bay Area consist of wo or more people riding in one vehicle for
commute purposes (access to carpool lanes, free tolls, etc.). Genentech only requires two
people or more to qualify for commuter benefits (daily commuter allowance/ subsidy,
preferential parking, etc.). The Genentech intranet site provides a Web portal to the 511
Rideshare Web site to access free ride-matching services. Employees carpooling to
BART may apply for a "Carpool to BART" parking permit through the 511
transportation intranet site. Vanpools provide similar commuting benefits to carpool.
A vanpool consists of between seven and 15 passengers, including the driver. The
vehicle is owned either by one of the vanpoolers or leased from a rental company. The
III The Hoyt Company

intranet site offers a list of available vanpools providing service between the Genentech
campus and various points in the east and south Bay Area.
In order to increase participation in the carpool and vanpool programs, Genentech is
working with 511.org to set up a Genentech-specific Rideshare Web site that will lead
employees to the regional Rideshare Web site if no matches are found among the
registered Genentech employees. This Genentech-specific ride-matching service will be
publicized through email announcements, informational kiosks, and Genentech's
internal intranet site.
The Regional Rideshare 511 Program's Ridematch Service provides free car and
vanpool matching services. On-site Genentech employee transportation coordinators
(ETCs) promote the on-line 511 service directly to employees on a regular basis and
allow the Alliance to solicit carpool sign-up at on-site employer events such as annual
Transportation Fairs, Wellness or Benefits events, etc.
Car and vanpooling is strongly encouraged throughout the campus. Employee
transportation and shuttle flyers promote the free personalized matching assistance
through the 511 Rideshare program. This car and vanpool ridematching service
provides individuals with a computerized list of other commuters near their
employment or residential ZIP code, along with the closest cross street, phone number,
and hours of availability. Individuals are then able to select and contact others with
whom they wish to car or vanpool. They will also be given a list of existing car and
vanpools in their residential area that they may be able to join.
The 511 system gives commuters information they need to make informed choices
when planning trips. By calling in or logging on, commuters can get up-to-the-minute
information about traffic conditions, public transportation options, ridesharing, and
bicycling anytime, anywhere throughout the greater Bay Area region and northern
California.
The 511 system offers one-stop shopping for regional traffic, transit, rideshare and
bicycle information. The nine-county system is the first 511 service to go online in
California. It provides links to 511 systems in Sacramento, Oregon and Nevada and is
available via any phone, provided the carrier supports 511. Most counties in the region
have wireless and landline access to the service through major carriers.
7.0 TRANSIT
Caltrain, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and SamTrans provide transit service to South
San Francisco in proximity to Genentech campus sites. An expansive Genentech
operated shuttle system, providing 111 daily trips, connects transit riders throughout
the campus. Genentech provides substantial funding, operations and support for
BART, Caltrain, commuter, intra and inter-campus shuttles serving South San
Francisco.

between San Francisco and San Jose, and a limited service to and from Gilroy on
weekdays. Caltrain operates on 15 to 30-minute frequencies during the morning and
everting peak periods. Midday service operates approximately every hour with service
less frequent during weekends, and holidays.
Caltrain service is available approximately 1.22 miles from the Genentech campus at the
South San Francisco station at 590 Dubuque A venue and Grand Avenue.
Caltrain services were enhanced in 2004 to add express trains during peak hours.
However, this new service does not provide an express stop to the South San Francisco
Caltrain Station and hence does not benefit Genentech employees.
7.8 Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)
BART is a 92.7-mile, 43-station automated rapid transit system on five lines of double
track Trains traveling up to 80 mph connect San Francisco to Colma and other East Bay
communities - north to Richmond, east to Pittsburg/Bay Point, west to
Dublin/Pleasanton, and south to Fremont. Service is scheduled every 15 minutes
during peak periods. Service during holidays, and weekends are modified.
BART-to-the-Airport expanded the system by 8.7 miles along the perunsula from Colma
to a new intermodal station in Millbrae. Four new stations were created including the
South San Francisco Station located between EI Camino Real and Mission Road to the
south of Hickey Boulevard. The Genentech campus is approximately 3.39 miles from
the South San Francisco BART Station, and _miles from the Glen Park Station.
7.9 SamTrans
SamTrans provides bus service throughout San Mateo County with cOlmections to the
Calma, Daly City, and South San Francisco BART stations, San Francisco International
Airport, peninsula Caltrain stations and downtown San Francisco.
The system connects with San Francisco Muni, AC Transit and Golden Gate Transit at
San Francisco's Transbay Terminal, with the Dumbarton E)qness and the Santa Clara
Valley Transportation Authority in Menlo Park and Palo Alto.
There is no direct SamTrans service east of Highway 101. SamTrans service does
connect at the South San Francisco BART Station and, subsequently, the Utah-Grand
Area Shuttle. SamTrans does not provide a direct connection to the South San Francisco
Caltrain Station, however; Routes 130, 292, 133, and 132 are within approximately 1/4-
mile walking distance from this station and the connecting shuttle services for
Genentech employees.

7.10 Downtown Dasher Taxi Service
This free taxi service provides an 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. pick-up service throughout the
East Highway 101 business parks in South San Francisco. Using existing stops, taxis
drop off riders at locations in the downtown retail area. The Downtown Dasher,
operated by the Peninsula Yellow Cab of South San Francisco and managed by the
Alliance, requires employer-provided vouchers and trip reservation before 10:00 a.m.
This midday service is currently free to participating employers and is actively
promoted by Genentech. A detailed Downtown Dasher flyer is provided as an
attachment.
7.11 Ferry Service
Currently, no scheduled water transit service exists in the South San Francisco area.
Water transit service to South San Francisco is anticipated to begin by September 2009.
Prior to this service becoming operational, Genentech employees will be given a link to
this resource.
8.0 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES
Pedestrian facilities comprise pedestrian paths, sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian
signals. There are numerous pedestrian paths throughout Genentech's campus.
Bicycle facilities include bicycle paths (Class I), bicycle lanes (Class II), and bicycle
routes (Class ill). Bicycle paths are paved trails separated from roadways. Bicycle lanes
are lanes on roadways designated by striping, pavement legends, and signs for use by
bicyclists. Bicycle routes are roadways designated for bicycle use by signs only and
mayor may not include additional pavement width for bicyclists.
The San Francisco Bay Trail, a public pedestrian and bicycle trail accessible to
Genentech employees, is part of a planned 40Q-mile system of trails encircling the Bay.
It is located along the eastern edge of the Genentech campus. The section of Bay Trail
adjacent to the campus provides amenities such as seating and lighting. It also provides
good recreational opportunities for Genentech employees as well as access to the Oyster
Point Marina. However, there are gaps in the trail to the north, above Brisbane, just
south of the Genentech Campus and at the airport.
8.1 Pedestrian Connections
Currently, crosswalks connect Genentech buildings on both sides of Grandview Avenue
and DNA Way. Sidewalks are located on both sides of Grandview Drive, DNA Way,
and the north side of Forbes Boulevard in the vicirUty of the central campus. A segment
of the San Francisco Bay Trail runs immediately adjacent to the Genentech campus on
the north and east sides, hugging the Bay shoreline.
Safe, convenient and well-lit pedestrian paths are provided, utilizing the most direct
route, to the nearest shuttle stop close to Genentech campus sites. Lighting,
landscaping and building orientation is designed to enhance pedestrian safety.

8.2 Bicycle Parking - Long-Term and Short- Term
Genentech provides free bicycle storage lockers and racks at most Genentech buildings
to help promote cycling as an alternative commute option. The bicycle lockers can be
reserved, on a first-come, first-served basis, by employees through the internal TDM
Web site. Secure, covered, bicycle parking facilities, i.e. bicycle lockers and locked,
controlled-access areas, will be provided for all new buildings within 75 feet of the
building entrance. Bicycle lockers will be placed within campus neighborhoods in
locations that will maximize use and visibility. The Class I (long-term) and Class II
(short-term) bicycle parking facilities will be provided on-site at the follow level:
. Commercial, R&D, and office uses: one bicycle space for every 50 vehicle
spaces required.
Table 5 shows the recommended and total number of bicycle ,facilities for the proposed
expansion. Currently, Genentech provides 100 Class I lockers in excess of current
requirements. All 100 lockers are utilize and there is a waiting list for 30 more facilities.
Table 5
Bicycle Parking Recommendation
All bicycle-parking facilities will be located in convenient, safe and well-lit areas with
maximum space for the ingress and egress of bicycles.
Note: The Peninsula Traffic Congesti011. Relief Alliance provides a 50% match for the costs of
purchasing and installing any bicycle parking, from basic racks to high security lockers, up to a
maximum of $500 pet' unit.
8.3 Bicycle Connections
In the vicinity of Genentech, a bicycle path is provided on Forbes Boulevard to DNA
Way with bicycle lanes provided on East Grand Avenue and Oyster Point Boulevard.
The Genentech sites also connect directly with regional bicycle facilities and the San
Francisco Bay Trail. The Bay Trail is a network of multi-use pathways circling San
Francisco and San Pablo Bays. The ultimate route is planned to be a 400-mile route
m The Hoyt Company

September 25, 2006
through nine Bay Area counties and 42 shoreline cities. The trail provides commuters
an excellent route to bicycle or walk to work in the South San Francisco Area. A map of
surrounding existing bicycle facilities is provided on page 20. Bicycle accommodations
are also available on all Genentech-operated commuter shuttles.
8.4 Bicycle Resources
Free Bicycle Buddy matching, bicycle maps and resources are provided via the 511
system. Bicycle commuters looking to find a riding partner can log-on to
bicyding.511.org for more information.
The Alliance provides a free one-hour, on-site Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program
for employees. This workshop informs commuters about bicycling and walking as safe,
stress relieving commute modes; traffic laws for bicyclists and pedestrians; bicycle
maintenance tips; and offers a drawing for free bicycle-related prizes. A program flyer
is provided as an attachment.
8.5 Shower and Clothes Lockers
Genentech provides shower and locker facilities within each campus neighborhood to
heJp promote cycling as an alternative commute option. Currently there are 36 showers
and associated clothes locker facilities spread out over 13 buildings on the Central
campus.
FUJure site plans provide one shower stall for men and one shower stall for women and
locker facilities per 500-600 additional employees. New shower and changing room
facilities will be clustered among the different campus neighborhoods to assure
maximum availability of facilities while minimizing employee waits.

9.0 EMPLOYEE TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR
The Genentech Transportation Department is staffed by a commute services manager
and an operations/ shuttle managef and several additional full-time staff. The commute
services manager is also the ETC and has primary responsibility for implementing this
Plan. The ETC provides employee commute program assistance to all Genentech
employees, produces on-site transportation fairs and promotional events, collaborates
with the Alliance and 511 to maximize resources, conducts the annual survey and
produces the trienrUal report. TDM industry data supports that having an ETC has a
very positive impact on increasing alternative mode-use. This position is filled by:
Name:
Nathan Byerly
Employee Transportation Programs Manager
Genentech Transportation Department
Address:
1 DNA Way
South San Francisco, CA 94080-4990
Phone:
(650) 225-8285
The ETC provides the following services:
· Promotes trip reduction and air quality strategies to employees.
· Main point of contact fOf employees wanting to commute using an
alternative.
· Conducts annual employee surveys and provide feports to the City of South
San Francisco, which will include commute patterns, mode splits, and TDM
program success (process includes: annual surveying of employees,
tabulation of data, and provision of results in report format).
· Evaluates survey results for alternative transportation potential and/or
changes to current program.
· Catalogs all existing incentives that encourage employees to utilize
alternative transportation programs.
· Works with local agencies such as Caltrain, SamTrans, BART, the Alliance,
511 and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and posts
informational materials on the transportation kiosks in employee common
areas, as well as disperses alternative program information to employees via
posters, flyers, banners, campus newsletters, new employee orientation, etc.
· Participates in BAAQMD Spare the Air program. Spare the Air day notices
are forwarded to employees to encourage not driving to work alone.
m The Hoyt Company
-346-
Page 21
DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25, 2006
· Coordinates and manages various aspects of the plan that require periodic
updating or monitoring, such as the GRH program, car and vanpool
registration, parking enforcement, locker assignment and enforcement.
9.1 Designated Employer Contact at Leased Sites
Leased campus sites require a designated contact to be identified. The designated
employer contact at leased sites will be the Genentech ETe. The ETC will maintain on-
site TDM programs and employee outreach, administrate the annual surveys and
provide information continuity for the developer / landlord and the City of South San
Francisco.
9.2 Promotional Programs
Genentech's current promotional programs include new employee orientation packets,
flyers, posters, email notices, transportation fairs, trip-planning assistance, Green Genes
program, and an emergency ride home program. Genentech offers an orientation
program to new employees to explain the importance of trip-reduction methods and
their benefits to the commurlity. The orientation addresses Genentech's TDM mission
statement and alternative-commute options, describes on-site amenities, provides
transit schedules, maps, and offers free ride-matching services.
Genentech employees are encouraged to participate in the BAAQMD "Spare the Air"
program during unhealthy weather conditions by not driving to work alone, and
seeking other methods of commuting. Enrollment is via the BAAQMD Web page, and
a "Spare the Air Day" notification is sent via email. Genentech also sponsors the annual
"Bicycle to Work Day" with promotions and on-campus activities.
Other events and promotions on-site at the project may include Caltrain Day, Rideshare
Thursday's or a comprehensive transportation/commute fair. Various transit and
rideshare organizations may be invited to set up a marketing booth during lunchtime at
a central location in the building during the year to promote alternative commute
options. Free trial transit passes will be available for first time riders. Periodic on-site
tabling is also conducted throughout the year.
10.0 EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES
Genentech employees are offered a variety of incentives to use alternative commute
options. Incentives include a pre-tax, payroll deduction (Commuter Choice) for transit
and vanpool users and a daily commute allowance / subsidy program for employees
who use transit, carpool, vanpool, bicycle or walk to work.
The federal Commuter Choice option is a tax-free payroll deduction for vanpool and
rail transit pass fares. An employee can deduct up to $1,260 a year from their salary as
a pretax payroll deduction. This program encourages non-drive alone commute trips.
Transit or commute subsidies can be set dollar amounts or a percentage of the monthly
costs of transportation. Employment sites that offer transit or commute subsidies
m The Hoyt Company
-347-
Page 22
DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25, 2006
generally tend to have higher levels of alternative mode-use. Subsidies can be provided
in tandem with the pre-tax option.
Other carpool, vanpool and transit incentives are made available to encourage
employees to use alternative transportation options (e.g. Try Transit, You Pool-We Pay,
etc.).
10.1 Commute Allowance/Subsidy Program
To better utilize land as Genentech adds employees, Genentech provides alternative
mode commuters with a daily commute allowance/ subsidy in order to reduce parking
demand on campus. Genentech views parking as an employee benefit and, as of late
2006, offers employees a daily incentive for not parking onsite. Those who choose to
participate in the program are compensated for each day they do not drive alone to the
main campus. Employees who choose to continue to drive will continue to receive their
parking benefit.
Genentech employees report their monthly commute activity and are paid accordingly.
This parking benefit strategy and incentive significantly will reduce drive-alone trips to
the campus.
10.2 Pre- Tax/Commuter Choice Transit Passes
Genentech employees receive transit passes through WageWorks, a Commuter Choice
service that mails transit passes directly to participants. Employees are eligible to
purchase passes through pre-tax deductions that are deposited into their WageWor-ks
account. This option also allows employees to use their commute allowance/ subsidy
towards their transit passes.
10.3 Carpool Incentive Program
Genentech employees can participate in the "You Pool, We Pay!" program offered by
the Alliance. Employees who are currently driving alone, and are commuting to, from
or through San Mateo County, are encouraged to carpool. When employees form a
new carpool with two or more people over the age of 18, or add a new member to an
existing car pool, all participants will receive a $60 gas card incentive.2 A carpool
program flyer is provided as an attachment.
10.4 Vanpool Incentives
As an incentive for vanpooling, the Alliance will pay half the cost for the first three
months of vanpooling, up to $80 per month. Drivers of new vanpools, on the road for
at least 6 months, can receive $500. This one-time incentive is provided for those who
join a new vanpool in the last six months who have not vanpooled for a three-month
period before joining a new vanpool. A program flyer is provided as an attachment.

DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25,2006
10.5 Try Transit Program
The Alliance offers a Try Transit Program that provides free transit tickets to people
who are interested in trying public transit to get to work. These free tickets are meant
for people who are new to transit. Commuters requesting tickets must work, live in or
drive through San Mateo County. A copy of the Try Transit Program is provided as an
attachment.
Transit ticket options include:
· One BART ticket
· 3 round-trip Caltrain tickets
· 6 one-way SamTrans tickets,
· 6 Dumbarton tickets
· 3 round-trip VIA tickets.
11.0 GUARANTEED RIDE HOME PROGRAM
Genentech offers its employees a Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program, which allows
employees who utilize alternative forms of commuting a free ride home for
emergencies up to four times per year via taxicabs or rental cars.
The program may not be utilized for doctor's appointments, meetings, shopping trips or
other scheduled purposes. To qualify for the program, participants must fill out a
registration form located on the transportation intranet site and must commute by an
alternative mode.
The GRH program is managed by the Alliance. The Alliance covers 75% of the cost for
GRH services. Genentech pays the remaining 25% cost. A sample Alliance GRH
program flyer is provided as an attachment.
All employees who commute to work using transit, bicycle, or by carpool or vanpool,
will be guaranteed a ride home in the case of a personal emergency, or when they
unexpectedly have to work late thereby missing the last bus, or their normal carpool
home. The GRH program has proven very successful as it removes one of the major
objections employees have to giving up their private automobile, especially those with
young families.
The GRH program provides employees with a security blanket, a feeling of reassurance
that if a child becomes ill or injured during the day the employee can get to them
quickly. If employees need to work late and miss their bus or carpool, or if their
vanpool breaks down, they will be guaranteed a ride home.
12.0 FLEXTIME
In order to use alternative modes of transportation, employees may need special
consideration regarding start and end times of work. For example, the workplace may
open at 8:00 a.m., the carpool drops the employee off at 7:45 a.m., leaving them to wait
m The Hoyt Company
-349-
Page 24
DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25, 2006
until the building is open. Many employees would drive alone given those conditions.
Flextime allows the employer to adjust opening and closing times to facilitate the use of
alternative commute modes. Genentech provides flextime to employees wishing to
commute via alternative transportation rather than SOV. Campus buildings are open
and accessible in the early morning and evening hours to support an active flextime
program.
13.0 TELECOMMUTING
Telecommuting is a viable option for Genentech employees. Telecommuting involves
the use of telephones and computers to enable an employee to work off-site or outside
of the traditional work place. It can mean working at home or at a telecenter. Many
employers look at telecommuting as a way to reduce work-space demand.
Telecommuting, used as a tool to reduce the cost of doing business and employee
commute trips, has proven to be very effective. The secondary and related benefits
include recruitment and retention value, reduced sick time and absenteeism, improved
productivity and morale, and reduced stress. The benefits mentioned above focus on
employers and employees, but telecommuting will also reduce energy consumption
related to commuting, vehicle miles traveled, and mobile source emissions.
14.0 INFORMATION BOARD/KIOSK
Genentech's TDM Coordinator has transportation kiosk boards located within the
lobbies of major buildings. These displays include shuttle maps and schedules, transit
maps and schedules, bicycle facility maps, information regarding car and vanpool
matching services, and information regarding alternative commute subsidies provided
by Genentech. Flyers for "Ride Your Bicycle to Work Week" and "Spare the Air"
programs are also posted.
Genentech's TDM Program information is also available electronically through
Genentech's internal Web site. The site also links directly to the BART Web site that
provides Caltrain train and fare schedules, and offers schedules for each of the shuttle
lines. Employees may also access the Nextbus link through the site to estimate the
arrival time of a campus shuttle. Ride matching services are also offered through the
Web site for those interested in carpooling or vanpooling via the regional 511 Rideshare
Web site.
15.0 ON-SITE AND NEARBY PROJECT AMENITIES
On-site amenities provide employees with a full-service environment. Eliminating the
need for an automobile to make midday trips increases non-drive alone rates. Many
times, employees regard themselves as dependent upon the drive-alone mode because
of errands and activities that must be carried out in different locations. By reducing this
dependence through the provision of services and facilities at the work site, an increase
in alternative mode usage for commute-based trips should be realized.
m The Hoyt Company
-350-
Page 25
DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25,2006
The on-site amenities currently provided promote the use of alternative modes by
reducing employee reliance on the single-occupant vehicle. Genentech's extensive list
of on-site and nearby amenities and services include:
· On-site food and drink vending on every other floor
· On-site employee sundry kiosk
· On-site campus automated teller machine (AIM)
· On-site credit union
· On-site coffee bar on every floor
· On-site cafeteria (6:30 am - 2:00 pm)
· On-site "Grab and Go" Cafe (multiple)
· On-site chi1dcare
· On-site occupational health clinic
· On-site hair cut, barber shop, dental, recreational, vehicle services, etc.
· Nearby recreational (Bay Trails)
· Nearby Fitness Center w / free shuttle (435 Forbes Ave)
· On-site video rentals
· On-site film developing
· On-site dry cleaning
· On-site concierge service, also available to employees, includes party planning,
running errands, buying gifts, etc. for a nominal charge.
16.0 KICK-OFF MARKETING CAMPAIGN
Prior to occupancy of any new facility, Genentech will host a targeted employee
commute marketing campaign. Regional transportation service providers, Genentech
shuttles, commute allowance / subsidy program, guaranteed ride home information and
_u__()tl:'teJ:_prog~~_b~l1~fi!?_ ~~illJ}~ higl1J!ghteg [oJ _~!llp-loy_~e? _~e!()c~1jI:lg tQ_Clne.w__sJt.t=,_ThiL ~=,=c="~=
- outreach process will continue to promote alternative commute opporturUties and the
unique benefits available to employees at Genentech and any special ameruties at the
new site.
17.0 TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) are usually private, non-profit
organizations run by a voluntary Board of Directors with typically a small staff. They
help businesses, developers, building owners, local government representatives and
others work together to collectively establish policies, programs and services to address
local transportation problems. The key to a successful TMA lies in the synergism of
multiple groups banding together to address and accomplish more than any single
employer, building operator, developer, or resident could do alone.
In South San Francisco, the Perunsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance operates as a
TMA organization. The Alliance provides:
· Shuttle programs
· Information on local issues
· Transit advocacy
· Newsletter
m The Hoyt Company
-351-
Page 26
DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25,2006
· Parking management programs
· Trial transit passes
· Emergency ride home programs
· Bicycle facilities
· Car and vanpool incentives
· Bicycle training program
· Training
· Marketing programs
· Promotional assistance
Genentech participates in Alliance programs and utilizes their services. They are also
registered in the Alliance GRH program for their employees. The Alliance is a clearing-
house for information about alternative commute programs, incentives, and
transportation projects affecting San Mateo County businesses.
18.0 COMPLIANCE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT
The intent of the City of South San Francisco's TOM Ordinance is to reduce SOV trips
and, in doing so, lessen the resulting traffic congestion and mobile source related air
pollution. It is important to ensure TDM measures are actually implemented and
effective. Therefore, a monitoring and enforcement program is necessary for each
application. Because the City's TOM Program is performance-based (Le. project requires
percentage alternative mode usage and corresponding trip reduction at 30%), an annual
evaluation program will allow Genentech and the City to assess the effectiveness of the
unique program designed for the campus, and to make adjustments as necessary to
meet requirements.
Genentech will establish and maintain a 30% trip reduction program subject to annual
monitoring. Annual monitoring and penalty programs are consistent with previously
approved methodologies implemented by the City of South San Francisco at other
project sites in the east of Highway 101 area.
18.1 Annual Employee Commute Survey
An employee commute survey will be a critically important part of the morutoring
process to determine the success or failure of TDM measures. This report, via results
from an employee survey distributed and collected by the ETC, will provide
quantitative data (e.g., mode split) and qualitative data (e.g., employee perception of the
alternative transportation programs). Employees who do not participate in the
commute survey will be counted as drive-alone or SOV commuters by default.
Given the size and multiple locations of campus work-sites, Genentech proposes to
conduct employee commute surveys at selected buildings to sample the success of the
TDM program. Data collection will monitor the activities of all employees of the
selected building or group of buildings to be representative of the company as a whole.
Information from the Genentech rideshare database and commute allowance / subsidy
program will augment the survey data.
Survey data may then be used to focus TOM marketing and the efforts of the ETC. The
TDM program could be re-tooled, if necessary, to maintain the project's 30% peak-hour
alternative mode-use rates and commitment at the site. A summary report based on
m The Hoyt Company
-352-
Page 27
DRAFT Genentech TDM Master Plan
September 25,2006
results from the annual employee commute survey will be submitted to the City of
South San Francisco and presented to the Planning Commission and City Council.
18.2 Annual Summary Report
Each year, Genentech employee survey data, will be used to prepare an annual TDM
summary report. This report will be submitted to the City to document the
effectiveness of the TDM Plan in achieving the goal of the alternative mode usage and
30% trip reduction by employees throughout the campus. The TDM summary report
will be prepared by an independent consultant or TMA who will work in concert with
Genentech. The TDM summary report will main a historical employee commute record
to be used in all future reports.
If the trip-reduction rates have not been achieved, the report will explain how and why
the goal was not reached and specify additional measures and activities that will be
implemented in the coming year to improve the mode-use rate.
The initial TDM summary report for Genentech will be submitted within two (2) years
after approval of the Master Plan and each year thereafter. The survey reporting is
targeted for the 4th quarter of each year.
18:'3 Triennial Report
For projects with increased FAR, a triennial report will be performed by the City.
Modifications from the Genentech expansion have increased the FAR and require the
project to conduct a triennial report. This report or audit will state whether the
development has or has not achieved the required percent alternative mode-use. If the
development does not achieved the required mode-use, the applicant will:
· Explain how and why the goals have not been reached
· Describe additional measures that will be adopted in the coming year to attain
the required mode-use rate
· Provide an implementation schedule by month of additional measures
The triennial report will also include a comparison of historical responses to the survey,
identify if mode share has changed significantly, and describe why the mode share
changed. The Chief Planner will review reports. Reports that indicate failure will be
submitted to City Council.
18.4 Penalty for Noncompliance
If the subsequent triennial report indicates that, in spite of the changes in TDM
programs, the required alternative mode-use is still not being achieved, or if Genentech
fails to submit an annual report, the City may assess a penalty. The penalty shall be
established by City Council resolution on the basis of the project size and actual

percentage alternative mode-use as compared to the percentage alternative mode-use
required or established in the TDM Plan.3
In determining whether a financial penalty is appropriate, the City may take into
account the more than $10 million dollar annual investment currently invested and
consider whether Genentech has made a good faith effort to meet the TDM goals.
If the City determines that Genentech has made a good faith effort to meet the TDM
goal, but a penalty is still imposed, and such penalty is imposed within the first four (4)
years of the TDM plan (commencing with the first year in which a penalty could be
imposed), such penalty sums, in the City's sole discretion, may be used by Genentech
toward the implementation of the TDM plan instead of being paid to the City. If the
penalty is used to augment the TDM Plan, an Implementation Plan shall be reviewed
and approved by the City prior to expending any penalty funds. The City may assess
Genentech a penalty in an amount no more than $50,000 per year for each percentage
point (compounded at $25,000 increments) below the minimum 30% alternative mode-
usage goal as determined by survey methodology used by the Alliance or other
methodology agreed to with the city.
19.0 CONCLUSION
The report identifies TDM measures that proactively encourage employees to use
alternative commute modes and will, at a minimum, support for a 30% alternative
mode-use program according to South San Francisco guidelines over the next 10 years.
This Plan meets the 30% minimum alternative mode-use required of Genentech under
the City of South San Francisco's Municipal Code.
As outlined in this document, Genentech is committed to providing an aggressive,
comprehensive TDM plan to its employees to promote the use of alternative modes.
Genentech is already exceeding program requirements (e.g. shuttle services, commute
allowance, on-site amenities, etc.) and continues to expand and enhance its robust TDM
program. Through internal dedication and partnerships with local agencies and
organizations, Genentech is poised to be a model company in terms of TDM.
In order to be part of the transportation solution, this project contains the density and
critical mass necessary to encourage the use of all alternative modes of transportation
including bicycling, carpooling, vanpooling, and public transit.
By balancing air quality with economic growth, Genentech will help South San
Francisco thrive as a community and contribute to South San Francisco's future
livelihood.

Vanpool Program
Want To Save Money On A Long Commute
And Get Paid For Doing It?
Then vanpooling may be right for you.
Picture this....
You meet your van in the morning at a prearranged place and time.
Then, you settle into a comfortable seat for a relaxing ride. What a
perfect time to read, snooze, or even catch up on some work, while
around you, thousands fight traffic.
And We'll Pay You To Try It...
As an incentive to help you get started in a vanpool, the ALLIANCE
will pay you half of the cost for your first 3 months of vanpooling, up
to $80 per month. If you decide to be a driver for a new van pool for
at least 6 months, you can receive $500.00. This one time incentive
is provided for those who have joined a new vanpool in the last six
months and have not vanpooled for a three-month period before
joining their new van.
How Can I Get Involved In A Vanpool?

EMERGENCY RIDE HOME
PROGRAM
Don't Get Stranded At Work!
Do you want to bike, walk, carpool, vanpool, or take public
transit; but are worriedabout becoming stranded if an
emergency arises while you are at work? The Emergency
Ride Home gives you the peace of mind necessary to get
out of traffic and save money, time and stress.
.A
When your Employer signs up for The Emergency Ride
Home program, you have a reliable way to get home
quickly in the event of an emergency.
Most people choose to drive their own personal vehicle to
work because they don't want to be faced with a dilemma
should an emergency arise. Be certain that, in the case of
an E;m'}ergency, your employer will support you with a free
taxi ride or a 24-hour car rental. You have the freedom to
carpool, van pool, bus, bike or walk to work without the
fear of becoming stranded in an emergency.
How do I get my employer involved?
You can provide your employer with information about the
program by printing out the Emergency Ride Home section
