Modify the Zo~ning Map to reclassify or rezone five existing parcels into the Genentech R&D
Overlay Distr~t boundary established in Chapter 20.40 "Genentech Research and Development
Overlay Distrijct Regulations, Overlay district designation."
EXHIBIT B
Modifications to Chapter 20.40
"Genentech Research & Development Overlay District Regulations"
May 2001
Modify the existing wording in Chapter 20.40.070 Development standards and requirements as
follows:
Chapter 20.40 "Genentech Research and Development Overlay District Regulations"
(d) Off-Street parking Requirements. Off-street parking requirements are established within the
Genentech R and D Overlay District at a rate of 1.6.parking spaces per one thousand square feet
of gross floor area for all buildings with the exception of new or retrofitted office buildings, as
defined herein. Office buildings are defined as having fifty percent or greater floor area devoted
to administrative uses. For office buildings meeting this definition, a rate of 2.5 parking spaces
per one thousand square feet of gross floor area shall apply. For short term parking operations in
construction areas for up to two years, a 0.95 factor could be applied to the 1.6 ratio. The city
shall review these ratios every five years to determine whether they continue to adequately
reflect parking needs at the Genentech facility. All sub areas shall provide a minimum of
seventy five percent of the required parldng spaces for the associated use on the project site. A
maximum of twenty five percent of the parking spaces may be situated in common parking
facilities.
(h) Growth and Development Projections. Consistent with the projections analyzed in the
Environmental Impact Report for the East of 101 Area Plan the South San Francisco General
Plm~ and the East of 101 Area Traffic Improvement Plm~ Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report, development for the Genentech Facility shall be limited tc the following through the yea,-
2010: consistent with. the General Plan development standards, floor area ratio, in the Business
and Technology Park land use classification, the East of 101 Area Plan iDesiv, n Element. and the
arowth and development proiections analyzed in General Plan Environmental Impact Report.
Any greater level of deveiopmem would require, m: a nfinimum, additional area-wide
em;ironmental review, m~ mnendment to the General Plan. and an amendment to the zoning
ordinance.
(1) Four thousand five hundred employees;
(2) Total gross floor area of two million six hundred thousand gross square feet (based on an
FAR of 1.0);
(3) Vehicle trips generation of two thousand twenty five vehicle trips in the AM pealc hour and
one thousand four hundred forty vehicle trips in the PM peak hour;
(4) Sewage generation of 0.556 million gallons per day;
0ii
(5) Watcr demand of 0.576 million gallons per day.
These figures are the maximum development currently possible for the Genentech facility
through the year 2010,and any such development is subject to obtaining the required
development permits and approvals and the existence of adequate infrastructure capacity. Any
greater level of development would require, at a minimum, additional area wide environmental
review, an amendment to the East of 101 Area Plan, and an amendment to the zoning ordinance.
