Lot Coverage Requirements Total Area (Lot 2) Structure Coverage Landscape Coverage Existing Boston Scientific Campus 3,372,063 sq. ft. (77.41 Acres) 17.49% (589,775 sq. ft.) 48.42% (1,632,824 sq. ft.) Proposed Boston Scientific Campus 3,372,063 sq. ft. (77.41 Acres) 17.55% (591,960 sq. ft.) 48.56% (1,637,406 sq. ft.) Current Boston Scientific Campus Master Plan* 3,372,063 sq. ft. (77.41 Acres) 30.06% (1,007,527 sq. ft.) 55.23% (1,862,340 sq. ft.) I-1 Zoning District Requirements 30,000 30% or less 35% or more Approved PUD Planning Case 15-001 -- 30.06% -- *Denotes the campus at full build-out. B. Height The maximum building height in the I-1 District is 35 feet. The skyway would have a height of approximately 29 feet at its connection with Buildings 3 and 10. At its highest point, the top of the skyway would be approximately 34 feet above the roadway surface of Innovation Way. C. Setbacks The approved PUD requires a 50-foot structure setback along all exterior property lines of the campus. The proposed skyway would be approximately 760 feet from the closest property line. Section 1325.05 – Design Standards A. Landscaping - Section 1325.05, Subdivision 1 Since the proposal includes additional building space, the City’s landscaping requirements apply. The minimum landscape requirements are determined based on the gross square footage of new building space. However, this would not apply to the gross square footage of the skyway. In this case, Boston Scientific would be required to provide 13 caliper inches of trees (4,147 gross square feet / 320 = 13). The Landscape Plan indicates a total of 47.5 caliper inches of deciduous hardwood and coniferous trees will be planted along the sidewalk to Building 14 and in the area around the parking lot north of Building 10.
