Osr�.tcrwwc ��••wetl Line La:aim ANALYSIS General Plan Conformance The subject site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Retail/Highway/Service Commercial; Business and Professional Offices which permits office uses. R&D and laboratory uses are not separately defined or identified as a land use category in the PMC; however, both are listed among a broad range of potential uses in the PMC's definition of "Light Industrial." R&D and laboratory uses are not expressly permitted in the C-R (p) District; thus, the project would be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation if the subject site is rezoned to PUD, which is a more flexible zoning category, for which the types and parameters of allowable uses for this project would be specified (see PUD Rezoning and Uses section below). The proposed office uses would be permitted under the current and proposed zoning Districts. The General Plan indicates the average allowable development density/intensity, expressed as FAR, is 35-percent with a maximum FAR of 60-percent. Program 15.5 of the Land Use Element in the General Plan indicates, industrial, retail, and office projects should conform to the average density assumed (i.e., 35-percent FAR). However, projects may be allowed up to the maximum (i.e., 60-percent FAR) provided sufficient amenities and mitigations are incorporated into the project to justify the increased density.

Planning Commission 15 of 32 and uniquely designed structure featuring layered panel architecture which creates a rhythmic architectural pattern complemented by significant portions of glazing at the building entrances and on all four elevations. The building's massing incorporates significant wall plane movement, both horizontal and vertical architectural elements, changes to architectural element sizing and height (varies from 2-3 stories) and changes in material textures/colors throughout the various elevations. The third floor includes a recessed balcony oriented toward the middle of the campus. All rooftop equipment would be screened by a decorative metal screen. A service and delivery area, as well as a fully enclosed trash/recycling area, both of which are integrated architecturally into the building design, would be located at the south/southwest corner of the building. See Figures 6 through 12 below for the proposed elevations, renderings, and site/building sections, all of which provide full design details. Additionally, see Exhibit B Plan Sheets A5.05 and A6.01 through A6.05 for a detailed breakdown of all colors/materials proposed for Building 1. A color/materials board was made available to the Commission for review prior to the public hearing. PUD-139 and P20-0973, 10x Genomics, Inc. Planning Commission 7 of 32 e Traffic Study recommended a Class IV bicycle facility on the north side of the property. in the form of a two-way "cycle-track,"however,the applicant has indicated concerns about the feasibility of installing this facility due to the location of a utilities joint trench along a portion of this frontage,and thus proposed the shared path indicated on the plans. Although the Class IV facility is preferred by the City Traffic Engineer,the proposed facility could also be deemed an acceptable alternative. PUD-139 and P20-0973, 10x Genomics, Inc.
