<br />Zones and Zone Restrictions
<br />
<br />The Electronic Arts campus has been divided into
<br />development "zones," each of which incorporates
<br />the buildings, related parking and open space
<br />improvements, and any easements or ~ccompany-
<br />ing site improvements necessary for development
<br />within a zone as it is developed over time. This
<br />differs from a phasing plan in that, other than the
<br />development of the first zone, development of a
<br />zone can take place at any time and Electronic
<br />. Arts will be given some limited flexibility to vary
<br />building sizes and heights within each zone. This
<br />allows the building development program to
<br />respon.d to a number of criteria, both market and
<br />design related, according to the following goals as
<br />agreed by Redwood City and Electronic Arts:
<br />
<br />Adopt to future market conditions. .
<br />. Allow variation in floorplate size.
<br />. Allow variation in building height.
<br />
<br />Allow for cost effective buildi!1gs.
<br />. Optimize building structural system.
<br />. Accommodate geotechnical conditions across
<br />the site.
<br />
<br />Match capacities of Transportation Improvement
<br />Projects
<br />. Increase program based on specific improve-
<br />ments.
<br />. Tailor participation in improvements related to
<br />specific project benefit.
<br />
<br />Create a visually interesting setting.
<br />. Vary heights instead of maintaining same
<br />uniform height.
<br />. Create opportunity for one or more architec-
<br />turally distinguished corporate signature
<br />buildings
<br />. Improve on the collective image of Shores
<br />Business Park by adding a distinguished
<br />massing of buildings.
<br />. Taller buildings assemb1e development pro-
<br />gram vertically, conserving available ground
<br />plane as a project resource.
<br />
<br />Create more desirable open spaces.
<br />. Minimize shadowing of open spaces through
<br />use of adjacent low..rise buildings offset by
<br />taller building elsewhere on the site.
<br />. Minimize shadow impacts on surrounding
<br />residential buildings.
<br />
<br />Zone Restrictions
<br />
<br />The following restrictions for each zone have
<br />been developed as a means of guiding the future
<br />development of the campus with a range of per-
<br />formance expectations for height and program.
<br />The table illustrates the minimum and maximum
<br />amount of GBFA and building height for each zone
<br />in order to ensure that the Development will be
<br />balanced over the site and the final program will
<br />not exceed 1,000,000 square feet of GBFA with
<br />an additional 50,000 square feet of GBFA as an
<br />accessory building:
