GenenTech Corporate Facilities Master Plan/GenenTech R&D Overlay District Upd

GenenTech Corporate Facilities Master Plan/GenenTech R&D Overlay District Upd

Genentech, the world's first biotechnology company, was fonded in 1976 and is headquartered in South San Francisco. In 1995, the City of South San Francisco adopted the Genentech Corporate Facilities Master Plan (1995 Plan) to provide an integrated framework for development of Genentech-owned properties at the City's eastern bayshore into a coporate campus. The Genentech R&D Overlay District (Overlay District), established as Chapter 20.40 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code, was adopted concurrently with the Master Plan, and specifies floor area ratio (FAR), parking and other standards, and review and approval procedures for development within the district. The Overlay District currently encompasses an area of approximately 97 acres. The 1995 Plan establishes policies for long-range planning and design of Genentech's facilities, including strategies to integrate site planning and architecture, traffic, circulation and parking, and infrastructure. While the Master Plan does not provide design of individual buildings, it includes urban design criteria that have provided the framework for building siting and design over the past decade. The 1995 plan is nearing its ten-year planning horizon. This Project represents an update of the 1995 Plan, and is designed to fulfill two broad objectives: 1.) Reflect changed conditions at the campus since the 1995 Plan was completed (such as completion of various buildings and other improvements) and in the broader East of 101 Area (such as adoption of a new South San Francisco General Plan , East of 101 Area Height Limits) to ensure that the campus plan reflects current conditions and furthers the City's policies and visions for the East of 101 Area; and 2.) Enable cohesive expansion of facilities to fulfill Genentech's growth needs by inclusion of approximately 135 acres of land surrounding Overlay's District lands as part of the updated Master Plan/Overlay District. Genentech already owns or controls a significant portion of this expansion area. As is the case currently, provisions of the City's Genentech R&D Overlay District would apply only to those sites in the district that are owned by Genentech; non-Genentech sites would not be subject to provisions of the Overlay District. Thus, expansion of the Overlay District will facilitate cohesive planning of sites that Genentech owns or leases. These non-campus sites are either already developed or have development entitlements that are not proposed to change as part of this Project.
