Continued.
Agreement for Parcel A limits the
density on that parcel to 224,000
square feet. He said that the
proposed amendment would allow
Genentech to build Phases I and II
of the program up to 248,000 square
feet. He continued, when this is
completed the City may assess the
actual impacts to ascertain compat-
ibility with the EIR estimates and
that requests for further construction
up to 500,000 square feet would be
considered in the light of the
further environmental assessment.
He said that he had discovered this
morning that there was significant
disagreement between the parties
and gave the Council a redraft of
three paragraphs that were in dispute
in the document. He said that
Genentech wanted the scope of develop-
ment to clearly indicate their goal
of 500,000 square feet. He said
that Genentech would be subject to
further assessment and whether this
would be compatibile with peak hour
traffic. He said that the problem
between the parties had to deal with
the mitigations required, not only
for the added density proposed, but
the original 224,000 square feet.
He said that the City had to be
assured it would not lose mitigation
of the 224,000 square feet by the
adoption of the amendment. He spoke
of the other impacts from the added
density, such as on the sewer line.
He spoke in detail of the R&D oper-
ation utilizing a flex-time arrange-
ment whereby employees arrive and
depart on an unscheduled basis which
would reduce peak hour traffic
impacts.
Herman H. Fitzgerald, Esq. explained
in detail the disagreement between
the parties on paragraphs 4 and 5
of the Agreement., i.e., mitigation
in relation to Parcel A and other
parcels in the project, disproportionate
assessments, no further amendment
to the OPA which would reduce the
density without owner representation.
