the floor area ratio figured in this manner. It is understandable from the way the original condition was written how such an inter- pretation could be made. If the streets rights-of-way are not included, the overall floor area ratio is increased to about 35-1/28. This would not be out of line with the approvals granted for the Meyer, Daon and Fromm projects, and being proposed for the Prudential project. The level of information presented in the development plan consists of maximum building sizes, site and landscape coverage, parking to building size ratios, parking by compact and standard spaces, hypo- thetical building foot prints, and typical building perspectives for office buildings and research and development facilities. Because elevations have not been submitted for each proposed building, it will be necessary for each structure to be submitted for design review approval as plans are developed. PUD-82-1 conforms to the originally envisioned overall business park plan except that commercial is not now being proposed for the northwestern sector of the property. Street locations remain as originally proposed, project size is essentially the same, and the relationship of land uses remains as originally proposed except for the elimination of commercial and extension of office uses into the commercial area. One effect of eliminating the retail commercial uses is that overall traffic generation could be decreased by as much as 138. Generous landscaping is shown on the site. The minimum 33 ft. - deep landscape setback for all buildings and parking has been maintained. Additionally, there is adequate landscaping around all buildings and distributed throughout parking areas., Parking is being shown on the development plan at a ratio of one space for every 250 sq. ft. of office area, one space for each 500 sq. ft, of manufacturing or assembly area, and one space for each 1,000 sq. ft. of warehouse area. It is also indicated that up to 50~ of the required spaces may be in compact stalls. These standards may be appropriate as a guide for initial planning but the final parking requirements should be determined on a case by case basis at the time of design review. This is what was done in the first phase of the business park (PUD-80-14). A mitigated negative declaration accompanies this report. Based on the Initial Environmental Study done for this project, it is the staff's opinion that PUD-82-1 would have significant adverse impacts on the environment but that certain recommended conditions of approval would reduce those impacts to an insignificant level. If your Commission concurs with this environmental assessment, you must make the finding that the mitigated negative declaration is appropriate for the project. The finding must be made prior to taking action on the project itself. In making this finding you should review the contents of Resolution No. 77-66 (Environ- mental Impact Guidelines and Procedures). Please refer to page 8 of the Guidelines for the definition of significant effect and pages 20 through 22 of the Guidelines for the details on determining significant effect. -2-
