To maintain the architectural design quality for future proposed buildings 2/3 and the proposed parking structure, staff is recommending a condition of approval requiring these future structures to be designed to be architecturally complementary to/compatible with proposed Building 1. Staff is also recommending a condition of approval requiring subsequent Design Review applications be submitted for each future phase and be subject to Planning Commission consideration. A separate condition (COA No. 8) makes it clear that the setbacks specified are minimums, and the Planning Commission may, through subsequent design review, require modifications to ensure the buildings would be attractive, well-articulated, and be sensitively sited and designed to avoid over-concentrating building height and massing towards the project frontages. Scenic Highway Plan for Interstate 680 In 1985 the City adopted the "Scenic Highway Plan for Interstate 680 in the City of Pleasanton" which contains policies for new residential and commercial development on parcels immediately adjacent to the 1-680 corridor. The project was analyzed for conformance to the applicable policies and found to be consistent with the plan. For example, proposed Building 1 would be located at least 100 ft. from the 1-680 CalTrans right-of-way (approximately 1,200 ft. is proposed), the structure would not conflict with views from the highway due to existing screening provided by the adjacent office buildings, residential uses and landscaping would remain, and new perimeter landscaping associated with the proposed project. Grading and Drainage The subject site is relatively level, and the applicant is proposing to generally maintain the existing grades. Site drainage will be directed towards landscaped bio-retention planters located in various areas of the subject site for retention and treatment before draining into the City's storm drain system. As conditioned, staff finds the proposed grading and drainage plan to be acceptable and in compliance with applicable stormwater runoff requirements. PUD-139 and P20-0973, 10x Genomics, Inc.
