project will also be required to incorporate complete streets improvements (pedestrian and bicycle facilities) along its frontages, consistent with City policies and standards. Discussion Point #3 3. Is the overall massing, scale and setbacks of the proposed buildings acceptable, and should the heights of buildings 2/3, in particular, be modified? 4. Is the site plan, circulation, phasing approach and parking ratio acceptable? Other Questions The plan set provided includes site plans, cross-sections, civil plans, and landscape plans. As noted above, the applicant intends to utilize all existing driveways, is currently refining their building designs and CEQA documentation would be provided with the formal review of the proposed project. Discussion Point #4 5. Is there additional information needed to assist the Commission in its decision on the proposed project? PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this workshop was sent to property owners and tenants/occupants within 1 ,000 feet of the site as shown in Exhibit A. At the time of report publication, staff has not received any public comments. Public comments received after publication of this report will be forwarded to the Commission. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Since the Planning Commission will take no formal action on the project at the workshop, no environmental document accompanies this workshop report. Environmental documentation will be provided in conjunction with the Planning Commission's formal review of the PUD Rezoning and Development Plan. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Staff requests the Commission to review the proposal, hear all public testimony, and provide comments to staff and the applicant regarding the proposed applications.

Planning Commission 12 of 12 (to property line not to proposed buildings setback even farther) across Stoneridge Mall Road. While specific height and massing issues could potentially be mitigated to some degree through building design, architectural detailing, landscaping and setbacks, staff recognizes that Buildings 2/3, if built to their maximum height, would be of a height and size that is a significant increase over the one-story retail buildings currently on-site, and that would be larger than most of the buildings in the vicinity. Although similar in height to the new Workday building, which ranges in height between 82 to 94 feet (103 feet to top of equipment screens) and which also a six story building, the context and setting of this site is somewhat different, leading to concerns that the building would be out-of-scale for this location. For that reason, staff has concerns about the proposed height of Buildings 2/3, and would suggest that these buildings be reduced to a maximum of no more than 3-4 stories in height. The Commission is also invited to weigh in on the proposed buildings' height, massing and setbacks. The proposed parking, circulation and site plan approach is described in more detail in the project description. Based on proposed parking ratios of 4.0 (initially) and 3.3 spaces/1,000 square feet (at buildout), the proposed project would appear to have adequate parking for its intended range of uses. The site plan appears to include opportunities for internal pedestrian connectivity as well as connections to adjacent destinations, such as the Mall and BART.
