Jay Paul Company requested a Specific Plan Amendment to the Moffett Park Specific Plan (MPSP) on November 20, 2012. The request was to change several parcels within the MPSP from Moffett Park Industrial (MP-I) to Moffett Park Transit Oriented Development (MP-TOD). The project site is generally located between North Mathilda Ave and Borregas Avenue and Moffett Park Drive and E Java Drive. The requested change would increase the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for these parcels, allowing up to an 80% FAR with the Green Building Incentive. The City Council approved the initiation request to allow Jay Paul to submit a formal application to further study the requested change. The City Council Report to Council has been included below for you reference.
City Council Report: November 20, 2012 Specific Plan Amendment
The project applicant has submitted the formal application for the proposed development and studies need for the environmental analysis. The proposed project includes the following:
The Moffett Place project is a proposed development of a 55.394 acre office complex in Sunnyvale, California. The proposed development would replace approximately 473,200 square feet of existing office space with six new eight-story office buildings, a two-story amenities building, surface parking and a three-level parking structure for a total of approximately 1.8 million square feet of total building area. Within the campus layout would be two large landscaped common spaces to accommodate active and passive recreation on-site.
The proposed Moffett Place will require the following modifications to the existing 2004 Moffett Park Specific Plan:
Eight parcels currently planned as Moffett Park Industrial (MP-I) changed to Moffett Park Transit Oriented Development (MP-TOD). Amend the specific plan to allow the base density of the existing MP-1 parcels to increase from a 35% up to approximately 50% Floor Area Ratio (FAR). An increase in square footage of 20% FAR is allowed in the MP-TOD area resulting in a 70% FAR and an additional 10% is allowed through the City’s Green Building Program. The proposed square footage over the existing base FAR would be allocated from the Moffett Park Specific Plan Development Reserve and would not increase the overall density of Moffett Park.
The proposed project will require the following entitlements from the City of Sunnyvale:
Amendment to the MPSP to change project parcels from MP-I to MP-TOD and to amend language for siting MP-TOD parcels. Rezoning of the project parcels from MP-I to MP-TOD Moffett Park Major Design Review Parcel Map Potential Development Agreement With the consideration of the Specific Plan Amendment and zoning changes, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared to analyze the associated environmental impacts. This process will involve the consideration of past environmental documents that have already been completed for the area including the 2003 Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and any additional environmental review for development applications within the Specific Plan area that have been approved since 2006.
A 30-day Notice of Preparation (NOP) public review period began on February 13, 2013. This time is provided for the public or other agencies to provide comments regarding the environmental analysis. The City held a Scoping meeting on February 28, 2013 to solicit input from the public regarding the scope of Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The City of Sunnyvale incorporated relevant information into the Draft EIR, including results of public scoping and technical studies. The Draft EIR wwas circulated for public review and comment for the required 45-day public review period. All individuals that have requested, in writing, were placed on a Notice of Availability list for the Draft EIR. In addition, the Draft EIR and related materials were made available for review on this webpage, at the Sunnyvale Public Library (address above), and at the City of Sunnyvale, located at 456 W. Olive Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94086. Following receipt of all written comments on the Draft EIR, the City of Sunnyvale prepared Responses to Comments as part of the Final EIR, which were considered and acted upon by the City of Sunnyvale’s Planning Commission and City Council. The City of Sunnyvale provided notification of future public meetings for this project to individuals that have requested to be included on the project interest list.
