Ramps 5, 6 and 7 will be constructed with two levels <br />below grade and Ramps 1 and 2 will be constructed with a half level below grade. The <br />number oflevels to be accommodated below grade was based on soil conditions. <br /> <br />The AUAR process allows for the review of a development scenario for an entire <br />geographical area rather than just a specific or individual project at a specific time. The <br />project proposer has initiated the AUAR process to review a worst-case scenario (i.e., <br />maximum development) for the entire 92.7-acre campus for full build-out through <br />2019. Thus, the AUAR has included all future development planned for the campus <br />therefore further stipulation as to height restrictions for future structures is not necessary. <br />If additional development on the 92.7-acre campus, beyond what is described in the <br />AUAR, is proposed at a later date, additional analysis would need to be completed and <br />the AUAR would need to be amended. <br /> <br />4. Parking ramps on the campus have been designed to accommodate parking levels below <br />grade thereby reducing the overall height of the ramps and further minimizing the visual <br />impact to adjacent residents. Ramps 3 and 4 in the northwest portion of the site will be <br />constructed with one and two levels below grade, respectively. Ramps 5, 6 and 7 will be <br />constructed with two levels below grade and Ramps land 2 will be constructed with a <br />half level below grade. <br /> <br />5. Guidant continues to work with Metro Commuter Services to identify potential travel <br />demand management (TDM) measures that will be successful in reducing site-generated <br />trips during the peak hour. A survey of existing Guidant employees has recently been <br />completed which helped to identify current commuter routes and practices, employee <br />interest in alternatives to driving alonc, attractiveness of incentives for using alternative <br />modes of travel, and other issues that could influence the effectiveness of a TOM plan. <br />Bascd on the results of the survey, Guidant is working with Metro Commuter services to <br />identify appropriatc TDM measures to for their campus. Some of the TOM measures <br />currently being explored include: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Car/vanpooling, including preferential parking spaces for carpoolcrs <br /> <br />Flexible work schedules <br /> <br />Providing a display of commuter information for employees, including infonnation on <br />rideshare, transit schedules and bicycling commuting routes <br /> <br />Designation of a Commuter Benefits Coordinator (CBC), a current staff member in <br />Human Resources or Facilities Management who can work with new and existing <br />employees as a source for commuting services and materials <br /> <br />Scll transit passes on the Guidant Campus <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Guidant Campus Master Plan <br />Responses to Conunents <br /> <br />- 9- <br /> <br />January 2003 <br />
