programs and works closely with Foster City and the Chamber of Commerce. They also <br />have well developed transportation programs for the employees, which he described. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked what company lhnctions would bc moved to this site from <br />Foster City, particularly with regard to marketing or point of sale. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ragusa indicated it would have the same mixture of research and <br />development, manufacturing, marketing and adn~inistrative offices as exist in the Foster <br />City- site. There is not one departn~ent that is large enough to move en masse. <br /> <br />Wh-. Pico asked how many parking spaces would be constructed. <br /> <br />Mr. Swift said at final build out of 960,000 sq. i~, there could be 3,200 spaces. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico pointed out staff said there would be one employee per 500 sq. ~. which <br />is different than 2.5 employees per 1000 sq. 1~. just mentioned. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala explained that contract employees are not counted because they are not <br />on the site all the time. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ragusa indicated there are currently about 1,600 employees for 800,000 sq. <br />ft, in Foster City. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico asked if all the above is true~ why does the project require 3,200 parking <br />spaces. <br /> <br />Mr. Ragusa said that is what the City requires. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico ~vas concerned if all that parking is needed. He felt the main selling <br />point for this revised project wins that it would impact traffic less. He asked if Council <br />approves a project of this size, was the applicm~t willing to reduce or eliminate a <br />sigulficant number of parking spaces to guarantee there will be no traffic impacts? <br />Would the applicant be willing to limit the total number of employees at the facility to a <br />inaximum of 2,5007 <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala indicated she had toured the Foster City lhcility and was very <br />impressed with it and the transportation programs they had implemented. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico reiterated his desire for a guarantee of limited parking spaces so the <br />employees cause/~wer traffic impacts. <br /> <br /> Ken Mantoani, 34 Maple Way, San Ca~os, representing PE Binsystems, pretbrred <br />not to limit the number of employees. This is a conceptual plan developed by Kaiser and <br />it is preferred that PE Biosystems be able to take lull advantage of the site, <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 9 07/11/00 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
