Present Land Use
The project site consists of a vacant 10,000 square foot structure and associated parking and landscaped areas. This existing building, known as the Copr Warehouse or Gar Building, was constructed in 1917 and is a City of Berkeley Landmark. General Plan Designation: Manufacturing (M) Zoning: Mixed-Use Light Industrial (MULI)
Document Description
The proposed project would develop the 1.4 acre site with approximately 82,000 square feet of research and development uses and 10,000 square feet of related storage area, and a 49 stall sub-surface parking garage. The project includes the demolition of the existing 10,000 square foot vacant warehouse and associated parking area. The north and south facades of the existing building would be retained and incorporated into the new building. The new building facades would be constructed from brick veneered masonry panels and would be set back from the existing structure on the north and south elevations. The new building would have four levels and would be approximately 60 feet in height with a mechanical roof screen, the maximum building height would be 72 feet. Vehicular access to the site would be provided by existing entrances to the Aquatic Park Campus; as part of the project the existing access from Heinz Avenue east of the Durke Building (800 Heinz Avenue) would be closed. The proposed project would include a plaza area, landscaping and street trees.
