<br />existing office research and development (R&D) buildings totaling approximately
<br />537,000 square feet that are proposed for replacement, in multiple phases, with
<br />administrative functions and office uses (75% to 100%), research and development
<br />uses (0% to 10%), and medical clinic uses (0% to 15%) as well as common support
<br />uses (i.e. cafeteria, childcare center, fitness center and other employee amenities) in up
<br />to 1,518,000 square feet of building space in approximately thirteen commercial
<br />buildings supported with approximately four parking structures, on-site surface parking
<br />and new street parking that would contain 4,500 parking spaces. (Assessor's Parcel

<br />Warrington and Hurlingame street extensions are proposed through the campus to

<br />recommended that the City Council initiate the requested General Plan and Zoning Map
<br />Amendments, as well as a Precise Plan for the entire 48 -acre former Mid -Point
<br />Technology Park, including both Stanford's originally proposed 35 acres and an
<br />additional 13 acres comprising the existing Stanford Medical Clinics at 420, 430, 440,
<br />and 450 Broadway and an industrial site at 550 Broadway (the "Stanford in Redwood

<br />are designed comprehensively; and
