c. P14 -0009, Workday, Inc. Work Session to review and receive comments on a preliminary application to construct a six -story, approximately 430,000 square foot office building, two parking garages, and related site improvements at 6110 and 6120 -6160 Stoneridge Mall Road. Zoning for the properties is PUD -C -O (Planned Unit Development — Commercial - Office) and PUD -HDR /C (Planned Unit Development -High Density Residential /Commercial) Districts. Steve Otto presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements of the application. Commissioner Pearce asked Mr. Otto to talk about the height of the building and if there are other buildings in the City that are this tall. Mr. Otto replied that: this would be the tallest building in the City and that there are no other buildings in the City that are this tall. He stated that the staff report provides some heights of some other taller buildings in this area, and other taller buildings away from this area would be in Hacienda Business Park where the tallest building, formerly known as the Associate Center, is 85'/2 feet tall at its equipment screen. He added that the AT &T or California Center Building is 84'/2 feet in height at its tallest point and is a six -story building. Commissioner Ritter apologized for being late; he was at his son's wrestling tournament, at which Foothill dominated Amador, and his son won. He asked a quick question about the change of zoning, indicating that he knows the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) numbers were originally discussed with the BART project and the importance of having enough high - density housing. He noted that this is going to change that area and inquired if the City would still be fine with meeting those RHNA requirements. Mr. Otto said yes. He stated that the City does have adequate housing units to meet the RHNA numbers. He explained that 20 percent of the original Windstar project at this site was counted towards the RHNA numbers because there was a housing agreement for it; but the City has more than adequate housing stock with the rezoning of the other nine sites in the City, even if that 20 percent of the original project were removed, which represents about 70 units. Acting Chair O'Connor inquired what the parking ratio of the two parking garages, as proposed is in terms of square footage. Mr. Otto replied that the proposed parking ratio is one parking space per 305 gross square feet. He indicated that the normal code for a non -PUD project is one space per 300 square feet, and with a PUD, parking is reviewed on a case -by -case basis, and the Commission and Council can reduce that parking standard if warranted and deemed appropriate. He added that, in this case, being right next to a BART station, it can be PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, February 12, 2014 Page 22 of 38
