The CP District is intended to "provide a district for large <br /> scale office and administrative uses and buildings to promote the <br /> development of employment and administrative activities." The Project is <br /> consistent with the CP District, which covers most of the Project site. <br /> The Project is also consistent with the PO designation, which covers an <br /> area of the site used for the extension of Shoreline Drive, a landscaped <br /> buffer and part ora parking garage. Furthermore, with a Planned <br /> Development Permit (PDP) authorized under Article 46 of the Zoning <br /> Ordinance the buildings exceeding I00 feet will be consistent with the <br /> existing zoning. <br /> <br /> (4) The purposes of the PDP process include encouraging flexibility of design <br /> and development of land in such a manner as to promote its most <br /> appropriate use; encouraging the development of innovative projects <br /> which incorPorate the highest quality architectural solutions, building <br /> materials and landscaping concepts; and promoting the most functional and <br /> aesthetic relationships between building structures, signs, open space and <br /> parking areas. The Project's central theme is to create an informal campus <br /> office environment through the placement and massing of buildings and <br /> landscaping. It is a high-quality, innovative development consistent with <br /> the purposes of the PDP code. <br /> <br /> EXHIBITI <br />E^GPLNPI DO~ <br /> <br /> <br />
