There is also a narrow PEMC Type 3 Shallow Marsh along the southeastern pati of the freeway and a PEMC Type 3 Shallow Marsh south east of the Gateway Boulevard cul-de-sac. These wetlands subdivide the site into smaller areas that cannot be developed to meet market needs and development stnndards without filling portions of the wetlands. HI. PUD Devc!oplIlellt Coneepts The development teatn has prepared two different site development alternatives for review. The PUD Concepl Plan that evolves lhrough this approval process wilJ need to contain both flexibility to adapt to different development scenarios and performance standards to ensure that the community objectives for quality and image are met. COllceot A SikLayoJ!! Concept A is the preferred and more intense alternatiw, It includes two mid-rise oflice buildings connected by a common entrance atrium, elevator lobby and service core. The oflice buildings are both five stories high and the entrance atrium is two stories high. One level of tempered parking is provided under the oflice buildings. The office floor area tolals are 192,500 square feet (GF A) and 257,500 square feet (GF A) for the western and eastern buildings respectively. The total oflice development proposed for Concept A is 450,000 square feet (GFA). The southwest facing facade of this linked structure is located closer to the freeway to ertl1iUlce visibility and to establish a strong architectural presence and image. The ends of the buildings are angled away trom the fi.eeways to minimize intrusion into the existing wethmds in the western and so\nheastcm parts of \he site and to avoid conflicts with the existing power transmission lines. The view and image from the freeway wilJ be of two large connected five story office buildings. The buildings' northern facades face two large parking decks across a landscaped parking area. These two level parking decks front on Gateway Boulevard and are separated by the landscaped main entrance into the office complex. The view from Gateway Boulevard will include the two large single level parking decks, the upper levels of both office wings and a focused view of the office atrium. The parking decks will be separated from the road by a significant landscaped buffer area. Site Circulation and Parking Vehicular access to the offiee development is provided by three drive connections to Gateway Boulevard. The internal layout ofthe parking and drives provides for alternate circulation routes within the site. Page 3
