The project includes a landscape and planting plan (Figure 5) that integrates new perimeter <br /> and interior landscaping. Several the existing 159 trees on site are located within parking lots <br /> proposed to be removed, necessitating removal of trees during various phases of the project. <br /> Despite redevelopment of the site, there would still be significant existing tree preservation in <br /> Phase 1 (98 of 159 existing trees would be preserved); at buildout only 64 of 159 of the <br /> existing trees would be preserved, although in both phases tree removal would be mitigated <br /> with replanting elsewhere on site. The landscaping approach would allow portions of the site <br /> around the perimeter, which would not be developed in future phases, to have upgraded <br /> landscaping in the near term. As noted, in Phase 1, the interior of the site, on portions not used <br /> for parking, would be fenced (type TBD) and seeded with native grasses, anticipating <br /> development of these areas in the future. <br /> The new landscaping tree and plant palette provides a wide range of native, drought tolerant <br /> materials consistent with the City's Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance (WELO). See <br /> Exhibit B plan sheets L3.00 through L3.21 for more detail. <br /> Only Building 1 has its architecture developed in detail. Buildings 2/3 are much more <br /> conjectural/conceptual at this time; however, the expectation is later buildings would conform <br /> to the building area envelope established by the PUD Development Plan with architecture <br /> complementary to and compatible with Building 1. Given the conceptual nature of Buildings <br /> 2/3, development in later phases would be subject to separate design review and approval. <br /> Additional analysis of the proposed architecture and massing of buildings on site is provided in <br /> the Discussion section, below. <br /> Building 1 is a contemporary and uniquely designed structure featuring layered panel <br /> architecture which creates a rhythmic architectural pattern complemented by significant <br /> portions of glazing at the building entrances and on all four elevations. The building's massing <br /> incorporates significant wall plane movement, both horizontal and vertical architectural <br /> elements, changes to architectural element sizing and height (varies from 2-3 stories) and <br /> changes in material textures/colors throughout the various elevations. The third floor includes a <br /> recessed balcony oriented toward the middle of the campus. All rooftop equipment would be <br /> screened by a decorative metal screen. A service and delivery area, as well as a fully enclosed <br /> trash/recycling area, both of which are integrated architecturally into the building design, would <br /> be located at the south/southwest corner of the building. See Figures 6 through 12 below for <br /> the proposed elevations, renderings, and site/building sections, all of which provide full design <br /> details. Additionally, see Exhibit B Plan Sheets A5.05 and A6.01 through A6.05 for a detailed <br /> breakdown of all colors/materials proposed for Building 1. A color/materials board was made <br /> available to the Commission for review prior to the public hearing. <br /> PUD-139 and P20-0973, 10x Genomics, Inc. Planning Commission <br /> 7 of 32 <br />e Traffic Study recommended a Class IV bicycle facility on the north side of the property. in the form of a two-way <br /> "cycle-track,"however,the applicant has indicated concerns about the feasibility of installing this facility due to the location <br /> of a utilities joint trench along a portion of this frontage,and thus proposed the shared path indicated on the plans. Although <br /> the Class IV facility is preferred by the City Traffic Engineer,the proposed facility could also be deemed an acceptable <br /> alternative. <br /> PUD-139 and P20-0973, 10x Genomics, Inc.
