Program to promote alternative commutes (e.g., designating carpool spaces, improving pedestrian and bicycle access between the BART station and office building, installing bicycle storage and showers, providing incentive-based programs for employees), staff believes many employees will not drive to work. Therefore, staff can support the small, 1.4 percent (45-space) reduction to the Code parking requirement for non-PUD zones. The six-level (plus one basement level) parking garage would have a maximum height of approximately 75 feet four inches as measured at the top of the elevator penthouse and approximately 60 feet 10 inches at the top of the parapet. The parking structure would feature concrete walls with vertical reveals and perforated metal panels on the north, south, and west elevations to add architectural interest and screen the cars. The holes in the northern perforated panel facing 1-580 would be arranged to artistically depict Workday's name/logo and clouds. The perforated panels on the south and west elevations would have geometric patterns to add interest. A photovoltaic array would be located on the roof to generate energy and provide shade to vehicles parked on the roof. "Greenscreens" (i.e., wire mesh frames with landscaping trained to grow on them) would be located along the first floors.

Staff believes that the revised design of the parking garage is a significant improvement over the design of the original parking structures. The perforated metal panels add an attractive visual element and provide better screening of parked cars (in general and relative to the previously approved parking structure). While the revised garage is taller than the approved northern garage, staff believes that the improved design helps mitigate its mass. Additionally, the parking garage has been set back an additional 10 feet from the northern property line compared to the approved garage (from PUD-104-1M/PUD-81-22-15M, 6110/6120-6160 Stoneridge Mall Road Planning Commission Page 9 of 17
