The remaining 13-acres of the 48-acre campus not included in the Stanford in 7.A. - Page 249 City project include: ■ 420, 430, 440 & 450 Broadway -Approved 11-acre, 360,000 square foot Stanford Medical Clinics (referred to in the Draft EIR and Precise Plan as Block F); and ■ 550 Broadway -Existing 2.3-acre, 67,640 square foot building (referred to in the Draft EIR and Precise Plan as Block G). As previously mentioned, the two properties listed above are not part of Stanford University's proposed project, but are included in the Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan in order to ensure that future on-site and off-site improvements for the entire 48- acre campus are designed comprehensively. The Stanford in Redwood City Project involves the demolition of eight existing office research and development (R&D) buildings totaling approximately 537,000 square feet that are proposed for replacement, in multiple phases, with Stanford University administrative office uses (75% to 100%), research and development uses (0% to 10%), and medical clinic uses (0% to 15%) in up to 1,518,000 square feet of building space in approximately thirteen commercial buildings supported with approximately four parking structures, on-site surface parking and new street parking that would contain approximately 4,500 parking spaces. Common support uses include a childcare center, cafeteria, fitness center and other employee amenities. The project also proposes an onsite storm water retention system, recycled water pipeline extension, dual piping for use of recycled water, a central greenway and a 2.4 acre publically accessible open space area adjacent to Spinas Park. In addition, Barron, Warrington and Hurlingame street extensions are proposed through the campus to improve pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular circulation. Proiect's Procedural History A full chronology of the procedural history in processing the Stanford in Redwood City EIR and requested planning approvals are provided in the recitals to Attachment 1. The chronology outlines the steps taken by City staff to support an informed public process. The Project has undergone extensive review with many opportunities for public input beginning with the City's Notice of Preparation (NOP) and Scoping Session hearing for the EIR in 2008, to the February 21, 2012, public hearing before the Planning Commission to take testimony on the Draft EIR, Precise Plan and Zoning Map Amendment. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING COMPLIANCE Zoninq Text Amendments The zoning text amendment adds language to Article 52 to allow for alternative procedures and findings for the issuance of a planned community permit for property subject to a precise plan and a development agreement. The proposed Precise Plan sets forth a specific process and findings with respect to the subsequent approval of PC Permits, which is also addressed in the Development Agreement. For approval of PC Permits during the first 10 years of the term of the Development Agreement and the first possible 10-year extension, the findings are limited to a finding of consistency with the Precise Plan. For the last 10-year extension,
