Kimley-Horn determined the parking requirements based on the Foster City’s municipal code and ratios from the Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan, which is shown in Table 3. Foster City Municipal Code Chapter 17.62.060 presents off-street parking requirements, which includes the following:
• General office uses: One (1) parking space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area, or
4.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet.
• Research and development facilities: One (1) parking space for each 300 square feet of gross floor area or 3.3 spaces for 1,000 square feet.
Parking in the Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan utilize City’s requirements (Section 17.62.060) for office uses. For laboratory uses, the Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan has the following parking requirements:
The parking ration for biopharmaceutical laboratories in the Gilead Science Integrated Corporate Campus Master Plan will be 1.2 spaces per 1,000 square feet of biopharmaceutical laboratory spaces.
Note that while the Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan parking requirements for ancillary uses is zero since these uses do not generate their own demand, as a conservative approach, Gilead does include the square footage for 355 and 357 pilot labs as laboratory square footage.
SOUTH CAMPUS
Based on the City’s requirement, South Campus should provide 4,707 spaces rather than 1,4561 based on Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan requirements. Kimley-Horn compared the observed parking demands with parking requirements for South Campus. The result of this comparison is shown in Table 4. The City’s requirements would result in an oversupply of parking since the maximum demand observed would result in 28% occupancy and 30% occupancy when the maximum demand is adjusted for building occupancy. Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan rates better estimate anticipated parking demand where the parking occupancy ranges between 92% and 98%. It is recommended that the Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan parking rates be used to estimate the demand for the proposed Chess-Hatch site.

CHESS/HATCH PROPERTY
The expansion is proposes up to 800,000 square feet of biotechnology R&D. The parking requirements for the proposed expansion at the Chess/Hatch Property were calculated based on the Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan rates for laboratories, which is shown in Table 5. Per Foster City Municipal Code 17.62.060.D.3, a 15% reduction was applied to reflect Gilead’s comprehensive transportation demand management (TDM) program, which would also be implemented at this site.
This results in a total minimum parking requirement of 694 spaces. Gilead will provide at least 694 parking spaces for the full build out.

Conclusion
This memorandum summarized the results of a parking assessment of the South Campus portion of the Gilead Sciences Integrated Campus in Foster City, California. The parking assessment conducted a parking occupancy study for parking facilities within the South Campus of the Integrated Campus.
The purpose of the parking assessment was to validate the parking ratio from Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan for use at the Chess/Hatch site. Gilead integrated Campus South Campus is chosen for this analysis based on similar use with proposed Gilead Campus Expansion Project at Chess/Hatch, and similar employee utilization pattern.
The peak parking occupancy for the South Campus area occurred between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
During this hour, there was an average observed occupancy of 1,313 parking spaces (70%) and a maximum observed occupancy of 1,338 parking spaces (71%). When adjusting for building occupancy, there is an average occupancy of 1,390 parking spaces (74%) and maximum occupancy of 1,430 parking spaces (76%), respectively. Note existing parking data reflects a lower parking demand due to the transportation demand management program implemented for the whole Integrated campus.
For South Campus, the Foster City’s municipal code would require a minimum of 4,707 parking spaces, which would result in an oversupply since the maximum observed demand (adjusted for building occupancy) would result in 30% occupancy. In contrast, the Gilead Integrated Campus Master Plan would require 1,456 spaces, resulting in 98% occupancy. Based on these findings, it is

Draft Memorandum
To: Thai-Chau Le, Planning Manager, City of Foster City From: Jason Moody, Luke Foelsch, and Kaavya Chhatrapati; Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.
Subject: Fiscal Impact Analysis of the Gilead Campus Expansion Project; EPS #251057
Date: March 4, 2026
This memo evaluates the fiscal impacts of Gilead Sciences’ (Applicant) proposed redevelopment of three parcels in Foster City into an expanded research and development (R&D) campus (Project). The analysis focuses on annual General Fund revenues and expenditures generated by the proposed development compared to the current assessed value and fiscal contribution of the existing buildings on the site. The report is organized into the Key Findings, followed by the Project Description, the Fiscal Impact Analysis, and the One-Time Revenues section. Supporting data tables are included in Appendix A.
Key Findings
1. At full buildout of Phase II, the Project is expected to generate $1.7 million more each year for Foster City’s General Fund than the site brings in today, as summarized in Table 1. At full buildout, the proposed Project is anticipated to generate an annual net fiscal surplus (revenues minus expenditures) of approximately $2.1 million (2026$).
This compares to an estimated annual net fiscal surplus of the existing use of approximately $357,000, resulting in an annual surplus net of the existing use (net fiscal impact of the proposed Project minus the existing net fiscal impact of the site) of about $1.7 million at full buildout (see Page 19 for detailed impact). The Project is expected to generate substantially more General Fund revenues than the incremental public service costs it creates, thereby creating surplus revenues that the city may use to support services citywide. In summary, at full buildout, the Project is estimated to generate an estimated $2.1 million annual net General Fund surplus (revenues – costs), compared to the estimated $357,000 annual surplus the site is generating today, meaning the Project is anticipated to generate an additional $1.7 million compared to current conditions.

Table 1 Summary of Fiscal Impact Estimates
2. Property tax is the largest General Fund revenue source associated with the project.
At Phase I buildout, the Project site is estimated to add approximately $240 million in assessed value through redevelopment of two out of the three parcels, with one parcel assessed at $49 million remaining as-is, resulting in a total Phase I assessed value of $289 million. The remaining parcel will be redeveloped under Phase II, increasing its assessed value from $49 million to an estimated $720 million, bringing the total site’s assessed value to $960 million at full buildout of Phase II. Because the Foster City General Fund receives about 23 percent of the one percent ad valorem property tax rate charged to the site, the increase in assessed value drives the corresponding increases in annual General Fund property tax revenue. At full buildout, the Project is estimated to generate about $2.2 million per year in General Fund property tax revenue and approximately $170,000 annually in property tax in-lieu of vehicle license fees (see Page 11). Under existing conditions, assessed value is roughly $146 million, resulting in significantly lower levels of property-tax-related revenue. The new assessed value created by the Project therefore provides a substantial increase in ongoing General Fund revenues for the city.
3. Public Safety costs represent the largest share of the City’s anticipated additional General Fund expenditures associated with the project. At full buildout, the Project is estimated to generate $331,000 in annual General Fund expenditures (see Table 7 for full summary of annual expenditures by Department). Police services are estimated at approximately $124,000 per year and Fire services at approximately $76,000 per year.
Together, these two categories account for about $200,000 (about 60 percent) of the total $331,000 in projected annual General Fund expenditures attributable to the site.

The remaining expenditures, which include General Government, Financial Services, Parks and Recreation, Community Development, Public Works, and Library Services, make up the balance of the annual General Fund cost. Although total expenditures would increase with the proposed Project as compared to the existing site, the associated increase in property-tax-related revenues is substantially larger, resulting in a strong net fiscal surplus to the city.
4. In addition to the annual fiscal impacts, the project is estimated to generate over $20 million in one-time impact fee revenue for the City at full buildout. Based on the City’s current Development Impact Fee schedule, the Project is projected to generate approximately $2.8 million in one-time impact fees for Phase I1 and an additional $19.1 million for Phase II, for a total of about $21.9 million (see Page 21-22). One-time construction sales tax will likely also apply (though the exact amount will depend on a variety of factors, including whether the construction contractors establish a job-site sub-permit) and is estimated at an overall total of $1.7 million at buildout of Phase II.
Additional one-time charges may apply that are not included in this calculation (such as plan check fees, permit fees, etc.), so the final amount collected by the city is expected to exceed the figures shown here.
5. Ten years post-buildout, the Project is estimated to remain a stable positive net fiscal generator for the City, even after adjusting for inflation. Despite a modest erosion in inflation-adjusted property tax revenue over time (due to the two percent annual cap in assessed value growth from Prop. 13, a level that is likely to lag inflation), the Project is estimated to produce $1.9 million annually in net fiscal benefit to the City a decade after buildout, compared to $2.1 million at buildout. 1 This estimate assumes Phase I will build to its maximum entitled amount (200,000 square feet). If Phase I is built to the amount contemplated in the current plans (174,785 square feet), the Phase I one-time fee estimate would be closer to $1.8 million.

Site Context and Citywide Demographics
The Project site is located in Foster City on three parcels, totaling 11.9 acres, east of Chess Drive and west of Highway 92. All parcels are owned by Gilead and currently contain 12 vacant one- and two-story commercial / light industrial buildings (totaling about 190,000 square feet) and a surface parking lot. Foster City is in San Mateo County and has approximately 33,000 residents and just over 20,000 jobs, as shown in Table 2.
Table 2 Foster City Citywide Demographic Assumptions
Proposed R&D Project
The proposed development program is split into two phases. Phase I includes the demolition of the existing buildings on two of the three parcels (containing 120,000 of the total 190,000 existing square feet) and the construction of 200,000 square feet of new R&D uses on one parcel and a surface parking lot on the other.2 As shown in Table 3, this new development is estimated to generate about $240 million in new assessed value and employ about 150 new employees.
Phase II involves the redevelopment of the third parcel and the parking lot constructed in Phase I for the construction of 600,000 additional square feet of R&D space (bringing the total new R&D space to 800,000 square feet) and the construction of a new multi-story parking structure. This second phase of development is estimated to add about $720 million in assessed value to the site and employ an additional 670 employees, bringing the 2 Note: the Applicant’s proposed use permit for Phase I contemplates 174,785 square feet of development under Phase I however their proposed zoning would allow for up to 200,000 square feet of development. This analysis assumes the full 200,000 square foot envelope that would be allowed under the proposed zoning.

total cumulative assessed value of new development to $960 million and the total cumulative new employees to 820 (as shown in Table 3). When the service population equivalency is applied to the employee count (as derived in Appendix Table A-1), the new development is anticipated to increase City service population by the equivalent of 340 people.
Table 3 Gilead Campus Expansion Proposed Development and Assumptions The assumed employee count at buildout (820 workers) is based on high-level, early planning estimates provided by the Project Applicant. This number of workers, as compared to the anticipated building size of 800,000 square feet, results in an average employee density of just under 1,000 square feet per employee. When compared to industry average assumptions for R&D uses, and EPS experience regarding similar projects, this number appears high, i.e., typical density assumptions for R&D uses are Phase I Phase II Full

generally lower than what is assumed here (meaning the estimated total employee count would be greater than 820).
While any given project will have its own set of unique circumstances, a typical range normally assumed for R&D uses is between about 400 and 750 square feet per employee (which would result in an estimated 1,067-2,000 new employees). This analysis continues with the employee count estimates provided by the Applicant, but EPS performed a sensitivity scenario based on an employee density of 400 square feet per employee, which translates to 2,000 new employees. The overall impact of increased on-site employment is to slightly reduce the net fiscal impact of the project, as described in more detail in subsequent sections of this report.
Existing Development
The existing site parameters are shown in Table 4 below. As shown, there are currently 12 buildings totaling about 192,000 square feet with a total assessed value of about $146 million. As all buildings are currently vacant, there are no employees attributed to the existing site and therefore no city service population either.

Fiscal Impact Analysis
The fiscal impact analysis compares the potential additional costs incurred by the City’s General Fund from providing public services to the proposed campus expansion with the additional public revenues generated by the new development. The analysis indicates whether the Project can be expected to have a positive or negative overall fiscal effect at buildout.
It should be noted that fiscal results (annual surpluses or deficits) are simply indicators of fiscal performance; fiscal results do not mean that the City will automatically have surplus revenues or deficits because cities must have a balanced budget each year. Persistent shortfalls shown in a fiscal analysis may indicate the need to reduce service levels or obtain additional revenues; persistent surpluses will provide resources to reduce liabilities or improve service levels.
The impacts of the proposed Project are considered upon completion of construction and full stabilization at the culmination of each Phase (Phase I and Phase II) with estimates provided in constant dollar terms. The analysis is based on a number of sources, including the City’s Fiscal Year 2025-26 Final Budget, information on the development program and home sale prices provided by the Applicant via the City, public data sources such as the Census, the Department of Finance, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, along with EPS’ prior work experience in Foster City and similar jurisdictions.
Assumptions and Methodology
This section describes the methodology and key assumptions used in calculating the fiscal impacts of the proposed Gilead Campus Expansion Project on Foster City’s General Fund.
For each revenue and expenditure line item, EPS used the most appropriate forecasting methodology based on the data and information available and industry best practices.
Service Population
“Service Population” is a concept that allows the impacts of both residents and employees to be estimated, acknowledging that employees who work but do not live in the city do not require city services to the same degree as residents. Foster City’s service population is shown in Table 2 and is calculated using U.S. Census and California Department of Finance data. The calculation accounts for commute patterns by considering the proportion of employees who commute into the city and the proportion of residents who commute out of the city, and applies weighting based on an estimate of the proportion of time these cohorts spend within Foster City with access to municipal services. Because employees have access to City services primarily during work hours, their impact is weighted using an employee-to-resident equivalency factor of 41.4 percent, the detailed calculations for which can be found in Appendix Table A-1.
7.1 Attachment 5 - Fiscal Impact Analysis

Fiscal Impact Analysis of the Gilead Campus Expansion Project;
Fixed vs. Variable Expenditures
In calculating the estimates of General Fund expenditures attributable to the project, a variable percentage factor has been applied. Most city departments operate with some fixed amount of overhead that does not vary as the city’s service population grows or contracts. For example, even as the city grows, the city only requires one City Manager or one City Clerk.
This variable percentage factor is applied to departmental expenditures to represent the proportion of costs that are assumed to vary and therefore scale with increases in service population. Expenditures assumed to be fixed include overhead costs, director-level salaries, and other costs that do not scale with service population and therefore would be unaffected by new development such as the Project.
Case Study
A case study approach is used to calculate those revenues that can be estimated using assumptions specific to the proposed development program. Items estimated using a case study approach in this analysis include property tax, property tax in-lieu of VLF, and sales tax.
Average Revenue/Expenditure per Service Population
This approach estimates average revenues and expenditures per member of Foster City’s service population and applies those factors to the Project’s projected service population.
Revenues and expenditures are derived from the City of Foster City Final Budget Fiscal Year 2025-26. Appendix Table A-1 provides the calculation of the citywide service population and the weighting methodology used to distinguish the impacts of residents and employees, as explained previously in the Service Population subsection. This calculation results in a service population equivalency factor of 41.4 percent, meaning if the City spends an average of $100 to provide municipal services to each resident, then it would only spend an average of $41.40 to provide those same services to an employee due to the fact that employees spend less of their time (on average) in the City with access to/demand for these services. This percentage is based on Census LEHD data for commuting patterns of Foster City residents and employees, and attempts to capture the difference in time spent in the City. Applying this 41.4 percent factor to the City’s total employee count (20,115 primary jobs * 41.4% equivalency = 8,332 service population attributed to employees) and adding the resident population (32,658 residents) results in an estimated citywide service population of 40,990.
Not Impacted
Some budget items are not estimated because certain City revenues and expenditures are not directly impacted by new development associated with this project, such as Transient Occupancy Tax, Business License Tax, 3 and Interest Income, among others. 3 In November 2024, Foster City voters approved Measure V, which updated the City’s business license tax to a gross receipts structure. Since the applicant has indicated that their proposed R&D redevelopment will not generate commercial sales (which is what a gross receipts structure is based on), business license tax revenues are not anticipated to be impacted by the proposed Project.

General Fund Revenue Estimates
This section describes the methodology and assumptions used for each revenue item estimated in this analysis. Several General Fund revenue items are not forecasted because they are not expected to be impacted by the Project. Table 5 displays a summary of Foster City’s General Fund revenue items based on the City of Foster City Final Budget Fiscal Year 2025-26, with details on how each impacted revenue item is estimated. The remainder of this section explains how the Project’s estimated revenue impacts are derived.

7.1 Attachment 5 - Fiscal Impact Analysis

Fiscal Impact Analysis of the Gilead Campus Expansion Project;
Property Tax
Property taxes are based on the assessed value of land and improvements, such as new development. The Project comprises 200,000 square feet of new R&D under Phase I with an additional 600,000 square feet of R&D as well as an estimated 240,000-square foot parking structure under Phase II. The estimated assessed value at project completion (full buildout of Phase II) is $960 million based on anticipated price points provided by the Applicant (see Appendix Table A-2) and confirmed to be reasonable by EPS through research of market comparables and industry experience. Note that the existing assessed value of each parcel is overridden by the new development’s assessed value when a parcel is redeveloped.
San Mateo County collects property tax based on 1.0 percent of the assessed value, and Foster City receives 22.68 percent4 of the County’s property tax base from property located in Tax Rate Area 010-003. The property tax revenue the City is expected to receive is therefore equal to about $655,000 annually at buildout of Phase I, increasing by $1.6 million at buildout of Phase II for a total combined annual property tax revenue estimate of $2.2 million. See Appendix Table A-3 for details on this calculation.
Property Tax In-Lieu of Vehicle License Fees
In 2004, the State of California revised the method for allocating Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenues to cities by replacing the VLF with an equivalent amount of property tax. The VLF in-lieu amount received by each jurisdiction now grows in proportion to changes in its assessed value. Because the Project substantially increases the City’s assessed valuation, it also increases the City’s annual in-lieu VLF revenues. In recent years, San Mateo County has experienced annual shortfalls in these revenues from the State, resulting in cities (including Foster City) not receiving their full share of VLF revenues. This analysis presents VLF revenues as they are calculated by the State and represents the full amount of revenues that should accrue to the City (given the estimated uplift in citywide assessed value) without assuming any shortfalls in reimbursement from the State.
At full buildout, the Project is estimated to generate approximately $168,800 per year in property tax in-lieu of VLF revenue, as shown in Appendix Table A-3. Under existing conditions, the site is estimated to contribute about $25,700 annually. The increase in assessed value produced by the Project therefore results in a meaningful increase in the City’s VLF in-lieu revenues.
4 This percentage represents the tax distribution to the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) for Tax Rate Area (TRA) 010-003, which is the TRA for the Project site. For the purposes of this analysis, the distinction between the City and EMID is unnecessary and they are treated as one entity.

Sales Tax
Sales tax revenues associated with the Project are based on taxable retail spending generated by employees working on the site. Because the Project consists entirely of nonresidential development, the analysis relies on a standard non-residential methodology for estimating worker-generated taxable sales. Based on data from the International Council of Shopping Centers, adjusted to 2026 dollars using the Consumer Price Index, workers are estimated to spend approximately $50 per week on taxable retail purchases. This assumption represents average weekly taxable spending done by employees either during the workday or as part of their commute at certain retailers such as foodservice establishments (lunch spending), general merchandise stores (such as Costco), and health and personal care stores (such as CVS), among others.
Applying the above spending level to the number of employees in each development phase and assuming 48 working weeks per year, total annual worker taxable spending is estimated at about $362,400 in Phase I and an additional $1.6 million in Phase II, for a total of $2.0 million at full buildout. Foster City is expected to capture 25 percent of this spending based on the nature and availability of retail around the site, and after applying the City’s effective sales tax rate of 0.95 percent, the Project is estimated to generate approximately $4,700 in annual General Fund sales tax revenue at full buildout, as shown in Appendix Table A-4.
Other General Fund Revenues
The Project also contributes to the City’s General Fund through several additional revenue categories that are tied to the service population generated by the new development.
These revenues are calculated using the City’s per-service population revenue factors and are applied to the number of new employees generated by the Project. As shown in Appendix Table A-5, these other General Fund revenue estimates total approximately $51,300 per year at full buildout of the Project. The below sections describe in more detail the revenue items that make up Other General Fund revenues.
Franchise Taxes
The city collects franchise tax revenues from utilities operating within Foster City, and these revenues increase as the service population grows. Appendix Table A-5 shows that franchise taxes are estimated at $33.61 per service population. Applying this factor to the Project’s service population results in estimated annual franchise tax revenues of approximately $11,400 at full buildout. As the existing site is currently vacant and therefore has no service population tied to it, there are no franchise tax revenues attributed to the existing development.
Rentals
Rental revenues from Parks & Recreation are estimated in this analysis as they represent the city’s receipts from facility rentals, which are assumed to increase proportionally with increases in City service population. Appendix Table A-5 applies a rate of $13.40 per
7.1 Attachment 5 - Fiscal Impact Analysis

Fiscal Impact Analysis of the Gilead Campus Expansion Project;
service population, resulting in estimated annual rental revenues of about $4,500 at full buildout. As the existing site is currently vacant and therefore has no service population tied to it, there are no rental revenues attributed to the existing development.
Permits, Service Charges, and Other Revenues
Permits, Other Revenues (Fines, etc.), and Service Charges are the remaining Other General Fund revenue items assumed to scale proportionally based on increases in the City’s service population. Appendix Table A-5 shows that permit revenues are estimated at $32.48 per service population, other revenues (such as fines) are estimated at $14.15 per service population, and Service Charges at $57.29 per service population. Applying these factors to the Project’s service population results in an estimated combined total annual revenue for these three items of approximately $6,500 dollars at Phase I and an additional $28,800 dollars at Phase II, for a total of $35,300 dollars at full buildout. As the existing site is currently vacant and therefore has no service population tied to it, the existing development is assumed to not generate any of these revenue items.

General Fund Expenditure Estimates
This section describes the methodology and key assumptions for calculating various General Fund expenditure items. All Departments consist of both fixed and variable costs.
While fixed costs are independent of new development, variable costs are assumed to increase based on new growth in the City. Only variable costs are used to project the General Fund expenditures in this analysis. The approach is presented in Table 6. The application of these per service population expenditures to the Project is shown in Appendix Table A-6.
A variable percentage is applied to each Department’s budgeted General Fund expenditures to derive the annual variable expense, which is then divided by the citywide service population to produce a per-service population General Fund expenditure for each City Department. Following Table 6 below, this section describes the Departmental expenditure items in further detail, grouped by departments with similar percent variable assumptions.

7.1 Attachment 5 - Fiscal Impact Analysis

Fiscal Impact Analysis of the Gilead Campus Expansion Project;
Administrative Government Functions (15 Percent Variable Expenditures)
There are six City departments that generally serve administrative government functions and as such are attributed a 15 percent variable assumption. These departments include Council/Board, City/District Manager, Communications/City Clerk, City Attorney, Administrative Services (all of which are grouped into the “General Government” category in Table 6), and Financial Services. Based on EPS’s research in similar jurisdictions, new development typically affects administrative and legislative government costs by only a fraction of these departments’ operating budgets. As a result, EPS assumes that 15 percent of the cost of these services is variable and will be affected by new development. The combined per-service population expenditure by these departments is estimated at $30.88, which results in an estimated total annual administrative government expenditure of about $10,000 at full buildout of the Project.
Community Development and Library Functions (25-30 Percent Variable Expenditures)
The Library Services department is attributed a 25 percent variable assumption and the Community Development department a 30 percent variable assumption. While new development at the scale of the Project typically affects these costs by a fraction of the operating budget, these departments provide more public-facing services than the Administrative Government functions and therefore are attributed a higher variable percentage of between 25 and 30 percent. The combined per-service population expenditure by these departments is estimated at $38.22, which results in an estimated total annual administrative government expenditure of about $13,000 at full buildout of the Project.
Fire Protection Functions (67 Percent Variable Expenditures) Foster City is part of a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with San Mateo and Belmont for fire services as part of the San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department (SMCFD) and is responsible for 20 percent of shared SMCFD expenditures. The JPA stipulates that each member agency has the authority to deliver fire protection services within their respective jurisdictions. Therefore, it is assumed that as service population grows in Foster City, the provision of fire services within its jurisdiction will also increase to maintain existing service standards, and as such this expenditure item is included in this analysis.
EPS assumes a 67 percent variable assumption for General Fund Fire expenditures. The SMCFD 2025-26 Adopted Budget indicates that personnel services represent 86 percent of total SMCFD General Fund expenditures, and it is assumed the remaining 14 percent represents fixed costs that would not scale based on population increases. Foster City’s General Fund expenditures on Fire consist of 78 percent for Services, Supplies, and Internal Services. The remaining 22 percent represents Fire Legacy Costs and are also assumed to not scale based on population. EPS multiplies the 86 percent variable SMCFD
7.1 Attachment 5 - Fiscal Impact Analysis
401
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.
expenditures by the 78 percent variable Foster City expenditures to arrive at the 67 overall variable percent used in this analysis.
This results in an annual variable General Fund Fire expenditure of about $9.1 million, which equates to $222.59 per City service population. As applied to the Project, this results in an estimated $14,000 annual fire expenditure at buildout of Phase I, increasing by $62,000 with Phase II for a total annual expenditure of $76,000 at full Project buildout.
Police, Parks, and Public Works Services (75 Percent Variable Expenditures)
The Police, Parks & Recreation, and Public Works functions are assumed to scale most closely with changes in service population and are given a variable expenditure assumption of 75 percent.
Foster City’s Police Department provides all police services to the City, the Parks and Recreation Department oversees parks and recreation facilities and programming, and the Public Works Department manages all aspects of city streets and stormwater/wastewater/water infrastructure, among other things. These functions are assumed to scale more closely with increases in service population than the previous categories, as increases in City service population will increase police calls for service, participation in programming and usage of City parks and recreation facilities (and required maintenance), and usage of public works infrastructure, thereby increasing Departmental expenditures. A 75 percent variable factor is applied to account for existing overhead costs, resulting in a $212.80 per service population expenditure for Parks and Recreation, $366.06 for Police, and $103.46 for Public Works, for a combined total of $682.32 per-service population expenditure for these three departments. As applied to the Project, this results in an estimated $42,000 annual expenditure at buildout of Phase I, increasing by $189,000 with Phase II for a total annual expenditure of $231,000 at full Project buildout.

402
Fiscal Impact Analysis of the Gilead Campus Expansion Project;
Net Fiscal Impact on General Fund
Based on the assumptions and analysis described above, the Project is expected to generate a positive net fiscal impact on Foster City’s General Fund relative to the existing site. The annual net fiscal impact (annual revenues – annual costs) associated with the proposed Gilead Campus Expansion is estimated at approximately $656,000 after completion of Phase I, increasing to $2.1 million at buildout of Phase II, as summarized in Table 7. When compared to the estimated net fiscal impact of the existing site of a positive $357,000 annually, the “net-net” fiscal impact of the proposed Project (net fiscal impact of the proposed Project minus the existing net fiscal impact of the site) is estimated at about $300,000 at buildout of Phase I and $1.7M at buildout of Phase II.
Actual fiscal impacts may vary due to the actual timing of Project buildout and changes in economic and budgetary conditions.
Ten-Year Post Buildout Fiscal Impact
Also included in Table 7 is an estimate for the annual fiscal impact ten years from completion of Phase II of the Project. The values shown in these columns are derived in Appendix Tables A-7A and A-7B.
EPS chose to present this ten-year impact as an annual value rather than a cumulative value because a cumulative approach would not reflect the realities of how General Fund budgets operate – the revenues generated by this Project would not be set aside to accumulate but rather be integrated into the General Fund and used in setting future budgets, so presenting a cumulative value over the ten years after Project buildout would misrepresent the impacts.
Presenting the annual impacts in ten years’ time indicates whether the anticipated inflation/escalation of City costs over this time frame outpaces the assessed value growth (capped at two percent due to Proposition 13), which could potentially erode the net fiscal impact over time.
Appendix Table A-7A shows the estimated annual fiscal impact of the proposed Project in each of the ten years following Phase II Buildout. A general annual inflation rate of three percent is applied to all revenue items with the exception of Property Tax and Property Tax In-Lieu of VLF, which are assumed to increase by two percent annually due to Proposition 13, as mentioned previously. Cost items are escalated by 3.5 percent annually, an amount which is based on the compound annual growth rate of projected General Fund expenditures listed in Foster City’s Five Year Financial Plan FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-2030.
These escalation rates are applied cumulatively each year shown, then each value is deflated by the General Inflation rate of three percent to present everything in 2026 dollar values. This approach highlights the slight decrease (in real terms) of the assessed valuebased revenues over time and the slight increase (in real terms) of the expenditure items.
That being said, the total estimated annual net fiscal impact decreases in real terms by only a marginal amount over the course of these ten years, from $2.1 million to $1.9 million,
7.1 Attachment 5 - Fiscal Impact Analysis
403
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.
indicating that the proposed Project is anticipated to remain a fiscal benefit to the City ten years after full buildout.
Appendix Table A-7B applies the same escalators and methodology as described above to the Existing Site impact, i.e., the annual net fiscal impact over ten years assuming the proposed Project is not constructed. Since there is no service population tied to the existing site there are no expenditures tied to the site, and the only revenue items are Property Tax and Property Tax In-Lieu of VLF. Since assessed value is capped to a two percent increase every year, and this analysis assumes a three percent annual inflation rate, the revenues of the existing site will slowly decline over time as inflation outpaces the capped growth in assessed value. As shown, estimated annual net fiscal impact of the existing site (in 2026 dollar terms) is anticipated to decrease from $357,000 to $327,000 over the course of a decade.

Sensitivity Analysis: Impact of Increased Employees
As stated previously, the estimated employee count of 820 workers at full buildout of the Project compared to the 800,000 square feet of R&D space results in an average employee density of about 975 square feet per employee. This estimate is slightly higher than would be expected under a generic R&D employee density assumption, which would usually fall within the range of 400-750 square feet per employee. To estimate the lower bound of this range, EPS ran a sensitivity of the fiscal impact analysis wherein the employee density was reduced to 400 square feet per employee, resulting in an estimated 500 employees under Phase I (compared to the original 151) with an additional 1,500 under Phase II (compared to the original 669), for a total employee count at Full Buildout of 2,000 (compared to the original 820).
As Table 8 shows, even if the ultimate employee count at full buildout of the Project is more than double what the base analysis assumes (2,000 as opposed to 820), the estimated net fiscal impact is still substantially positive. The net fiscal impact at full buildout is estimated at $1.7 million per year under the original assumptions, and this number is estimated to reduce to $1.3 million if the project results in 2,000 on-site employees. This is due to the fact that each additional employee only increases estimated service costs by about $400 per year, so adding an additional 800 employees is only anticipated to increase costs by about $475,000 annually.
With a fiscal surplus of $1.7 million under base assumptions, the City can reasonably expect the fiscal impact of this Project to remain positive even if the number of employees at the site is ultimately much higher than currently anticipated.

Fiscal Impact Analysis of the Gilead Campus Expansion Project;
Major One-Time City Revenues
One-Time Construction Sales Tax Revenue
New development projects are required to pay sales and use tax for certain items utilized in construction based on a complex set of rules and criteria determined by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). EPS has produced an estimate of potential one-time construction sales tax revenue that the City may receive from the proposed Project based on a number of assumptions. This calculation is shown in Appendix Table A-8 for Phase I, Phase II, and the combined Project total.
In order to estimate potential construction sales tax revenues, it is necessary to estimate the total costs of taxable materials necessary for construction. EPS begins with the estimated assessed value of the Project and assumes 55 percent of this value consists of hard costs (with the remaining 45 percent consisting of between 12-15 percent developer profit and the remaining comprised of soft/other costs such as architecture, engineering, marketing, etc.). An estimate of the construction cost for the parking garage is also added and is based on values retrieved from Marshall & Swift CoreLogic Cost Estimator. The total estimated construction hard cost is therefore estimated at $132 million for Phase I and an additional $420 million for Phase II, for a total of $552 million.
The estimated construction cost is split into labor (35 percent) and materials (65 percent) based on EPS industry experience in typical development cost splits. Since labor costs are not relevant to sales tax calculation, only the materials portion is carried forward. A pointof-sale assumption of 50 percent is then applied to the materials portion of construction costs. The point-of-sale assumption is incorporated to account for the fact that only certain groups of items will be taxable in Foster City. The portion of items that will be locally taxable depends on whether the contractor submits a job-site sub-permit with the California Department of Tax & Fee Administration (CDTFA), the total amount of taxable goods within non-master contracts that exceed $5 million, the origin of the taxable goods, and the particular breakdown of fixtures and materials, among other things. As these details are not known at this time, it is assumed that half of all non-labor hard costs will be taxable in Foster City. After this point-of-sale assumption is applied, the estimate of construction costs that are taxable by Foster City is $43 million in Phase I and $137 million in Phase II, for a total overall cost of $179 million. Applying the 0.95 percent local sales tax results in an estimated $408,000 in Foster City sales tax revenues during Phase I and an additional $1.3 million in Phase II for total estimated cumulative sales tax revenues to Foster City of $1.7 million.

City Fee Revenues
There are a number of fees that new developments are required to pay in Foster City. This analysis estimates only those major fees that are readily calculable based on the information EPS has regarding the proposed Project. The fees estimated for the proposed Project include the Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee, the Parks Facilities Impact Fee, the Public Safety Impact Fee, and the Transportation Impact Fee. The Project will also be required to pay various plan check, permitting, and other one-time fees that are not included in this analysis.
Appendix Table A-9 shows the selected fee revenue estimates for the proposed Project for Phase I, Phase II, and the combined total. As shown, the Project is estimated to generate about $2.75 million in revenue from the four included fees at completion of Phase I and an additional $19.14 million at completion of Phase II for a total of $21.89 million in one-time revenue from these four impact fees.
Note that these estimates assume that the Developer constructs up to the maximum allowable amount (200,000 square feet in Phase I and 600,000 square feet in Phase II).
Current project plans indicate a proposed Phase I development of only 174,785 square feet. If Phase I is ultimately built out at this reduced size, the estimated one-time impact fee revenues from Phase I would be reduced from $2.75 million to $1.84 million.

a. Revitalization of older neighborhood retail
centers.
b. Changes in land use designations and zoning
where necessary to respond to changes in
economic conditions and/or City needs.
c. Meeting with property owners to
discuss possible redevelopment opportunities and
constraints, especially in the Chess Drive/Hatch Dr
area and along the northeast side of Foster City
Blvd.
The project includes an amendment to the existing
Chess-Hatch General Development Plan which
includes removing office as a primary use in
response to business and operational needs.
LUC-C-13
Conformance with
Chapter 17.68
Ensure that all existing and new businesses and
land uses allowed meet the requirements of
Chapter 17.68, General Performance Standards, of
Title 17, Zoning, of the Foster City Municipal Code
and the Estero Municipal Improvement District
Code.
An environmental document was prepared to
analyze and address all project-related performance
standards in Chapter 17.68, including hazards,
noise, vibration, odors, air pollution, glare,
screening, and construction materials and
equipment. Potential issues are addressed with
project conditions of approval, mitigation
measures, best practices, and City review of project
plans and information. The project buildings (Phase
1 and Phase 2) will not surpass 200 feet in height
and therefore, may not be required to file a Notice
of Proposed Construction or Alteration per the FAA;
however, the applicant will verify with the
appropriate bodies. The project site is mapped
outside of the height restriction areas for the San
Carlos Area B per the ALUCP. The highest
obstruction permitted for structures within the
approach surface for SFO International Airport
is approximately 700 feet. Therefore, the proposed
project buildings are consistent with the ALUCs; any
7.1 Attachment 6 - General Plan Consistency Analysis
420
change to the height will be subject to further
review.
LUC-D-1
Meeting
Commercial and
Industrial Land
Use Needs
Provide enough land for commercial and industrial
uses to allow for the retention and development of
commercial establishments that provide basic
goods and services to Foster City residents.
The existing C-M/PD Zoning District allows office
and R&D uses. The GDP Amendment effectively
removes the office use but maintains the R&D use
to facilitate the proposed R&D campus. Therefore,
the land associated with the project site will remain
for commercial and industrial uses.
LUC-D-9
Design Review of
Commercial and
Industrial
Projects.
The City will use a design review process for
commercial and industrial projects to ensure that
basic land uses, density, access, internal circulation, visual characteristics, noise, odors, fire hazards,
vibrations, smoke, discharge of wastes and
nighttime lighting do not negatively affect adjacent
or nearby residential land uses.
An environmental document was prepared to
analyze and address potential project-related
impacts to land use, transportation, noise, hazards,
fire, vibrations, and emergency response. All
impacts were found to be not significant or
mitigable. The project was also reviewed in
conformance with the Chess Hatch Design
Principles and the design and development
standards in the Zoning Ordinance, including
lighting, construction hours, visual characteristics,
building setbacks and massing. The design is
consistent with the guidelines and standards.
LUC-D-10
Health and Safety
Performance
Standards for
Industrial and
Commercial
Activities.
Industrial and commercial activities shall conform
to the City’s performance standards for noise, odor,
vibration, glare, smoke, and waste. New
or modified industrial or commercial developments
shall be required to provide information on noise,
odors, wastes, by-products, and the storage and
handling of hazardous materials to the City prior to
the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
An environmental document was prepared to
analyze and address potential project-related
impacts to land use, transportation, noise, hazards,
fire, vibrations, and emergency response. Through
the application of mitigation measures and
conditions of approval, the applicant will be
required to provide a Hazardous Materials Business
Plan, emergency response plan in the event of a
spill or accident, permitting compliance with the Air
District, and these will be required to be updated as
materials/operation change.
LUC-D-11
Businesses Using
Hazardous
Materials
All industrial businesses handling hazardous
materials shall be required to submit a
plan complying with the San Mateo County
Hazardous Materials Plan. Such plan shall provide
information regarding the storage, handling,
transportation, and clean-up of these materials.
In accordance with the existing Cal/EPA Certified
Unified Program Agencies regulations, the proposed
Project’s tenants would be
required to maintain Hazardous Materials Business
Plans (HMBPs) for the proposed buildings
that contain chemical storage facilities and/or fuel
storage facilities (diesel for emergency generators).
The HMBPs for each of the buildings
would contain a description of business activities
and a spill prevention plan, emergency response
plan, training plan, closure plan, and Hazardous
Materials Inventory Statement. The plans would
need to be updated annually, as needed, and copies
of the plans would be filed with San Mateo County
Environmental Health Department (SMCEHD), the
Foster City Fire Department, and
7.1 Attachment 6 - General Plan Consistency Analysis
421
the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID).
No storage of raw materials would
occur outdoors and no underground hazardous
materials or waste storage are proposed.
LUC-E-5
Access to New
Commercial and
Industrial
Projects.
New commercial and industrial developments shall
be designed so that, wherever necessary and
possible, entrance to the projects can be gained by
way of left- or right-turn only lanes. Only the
minimum number of entrance or exit points shall
be allowed as are needed to ensure safe and
efficient internal traffic flow and to reduce through
traffic delays on public roads serving the project.
Existing and proposed curb cuts for egress/ingress
have been reviewed by Department of Public
Works. The project’s proposed internal circulation
has also been reviewed to ensure pedestrian,
vehicle, and emergency vehicles circulation is
compatible. The project would retain all driveways
and add an additional curb cut to facilitate a oneway onsite drop-off driveway.
LUC-F-1 The City shall seek to achieve a traffic service level of “C” or better on City streets and level of “D” or
better during peak traffic hours, although it will be
necessary to accept level of service “E” or “F” at
the SR 92 Westbound Ramps/Chess Dr, the Foster
City Blvd./Metro Center Blvd./Triton Dr, Vintage
Park Dr/Chess Dr, and the Foster City Blvd/Chess
intersections due to their role as access points to
the freeway system. The LOS standard will
be maintained through the following means:
a. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
b. (TDM) for development projects c. Capital
Improvement Program and coordination with
federal, state, county and district funding programs
for street and other transportation improvements.
d. Developer payment of pro rata fair share of
traffic improvement costs for new developments.
Under existing conditions, the SR 92 Westbound
Ramps / Chess Drive intersection operates at LOS C
during the AM peak and LOS D during the PM peak.
Foster City Boulevard / Chess Drive operates at LOS
C during the AM peak and LOS E during the PM
peak.
Phase 1 of the proposed Project would result in an
increase in peak-hour delay of approximately eight
seconds at both the SR 92 Westbound Ramps /
Chess Drive and Foster City Boulevard / Chess Drive
intersections during the PM peak period. This
increase does not result in a change in LOS letter
grade at either intersection.
See Section for Traffic Level of Service Standards for
a full discussion.
LUC-F-3 Employerbased Trip
Reduction
The City will work with employers to implement
employer-based trip reduction programs that get
people to high-boarding destinations on the
Peninsula and, if applicable, in the East Bay, such as
employment centers and regional destinations,
including:
a. Coordinating with regional and local ridesharing
organizations;
b. Encouraging Caltrain/bus passes;
c. Employer-based shuttles.
The project includes a Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) Plan which requires
coordination with commute.org for employee
shuttles to and from Caltran stations to the project
site or nearby pick up points. The TDM Plan also
includes a commuter subsidy program and flexible
work schedules to reduce employee trips.
7.1 Attachment 6 - General Plan Consistency Analysis

LUC-G
Provide Adequate
Parking
Ensure that adequate off-street parking is
incorporated into new and modified projects,
and designed for safe and effective circulation.
A Parking Study was prepared to support the
proposed reduced parking ratio. The off-street
parking is project-specific and is supported by
amenities and provisions in the TDM in combination
with business operations on campus. Based on the
conclusions and supporting information, off-street
parking will be adequate.
LUC-G-1
Parking and
Internal
Circulation in
Project Design
The City shall continue to incorporate parking and
internal circulation design into its overall review of
project design. The review shall include compliance
with City off-street parking design standards and
ratios.
The project was reviewed for compliance with the
required Code parking count and parking design
standards. A TDM Plan supported by evidence was
incorporated as a project feature to reduce the
required parking ratio.
LUC-G-5
Bicycle Parking
Secured bicycle parking shall be encouraged for all
commercial and industrial buildings. The City will
continue to allow required parking to be reduced
where bicycle parking spaces are provided, per
Chapter 17.62 of the Municipal Code.
The project includes the required bicycle parking
onsite per Foster City Municipal Code (FCMC).
LUC-H-2
Reduce GHG
Emissions
The City will strive to reduce GHG emissions by
reducing vehicle miles traveled by supporting trip
reduction programs and encouraging the use of
alternative fuels and transportation technologies.
In compliance with SB 743, the Second Addendum
analyzed the project’s VMT. The VMT was reduced
by incorporating a TDM Plan. With the
incorporation of the TDM, the project’s VMT is
below the significance criteria for the
region. Additional discussion is provided in the
Transportation section (3.14) of the Second
Addendum.
LUC-H-5-a
Tree and
Landscape
Program.
Include requirements for tree and landscape
planting in all new developments and
redevelopment in design review and landscape
guidelines.
The project includes a Landscape Plan, an Arborist
Report indicating the tree removal/replacement
plan, and areas of planned plantings.
LUC-K-1
Redevelopment
Opportunities
The City will continue to look for opportunities for
potential redevelopment properties and
proactively work with property owners on options
for site reuse or redevelopment.
The project includes the redevelopment of
an approximately 11.87-acre-site.
LUC-K-2
Consistency with
City’s
Infrastructure
Ensure that all new buildings, whether freestanding or multi-building developments and all expansions of existing
buildings demonstrate consistency with the
infrastructure of the Estero Municipal
Improvement District and the City, including sewer,
storm sewer, parks/recreation facilities, and street
system capacity.
The proposed Phase 1 and Phase
2 development would be required to comply
with EMID’s water management policies, Foster
City’s infrastructure requirements, and State and
local waste regulations. The project would be
served by existing utility providers. Per the findings
in the Second Addendum, no supply constraints or
significant impacts were identified.

AIR-1a: The construction contractor(s)
shall implement the following measures
to control construction dust emissions.
Implementation of the measures
recommended by the Bay Area Air District
(Air District) and listed below would
reduce the air quality impacts associated
with grading and new construction to a
less than-significant level. Analysis by the
Air District indicates that implementation
of these measures would reduce
particulate matter construction impacts
by 90 percent. Measures to reduce diesel
particulate matter and PM2.5 from
construction (measures that would
reduce PM10 would also reduce PM2.5 since PM10, by definition, includes PM2.5) are also required to ensure that shortterm health impacts to nearby sensitive receptors would be avoided.
Water all active construction areas at
least twice daily and more often
during windy periods. Active areas
adjacent to residences shall be kept
damp at all times or shall be treated
with non-toxic stabilizers to control
dust.
Cover all hauling trucks or maintain at
least 2 feet of freeboard.
The project

WHEREAS, a Notice of Public Hearing was duly published on May 1, 2026, in San Mateo Daily Journal and May 6, 2026, in Foster City Islander for consideration of the Second Addendum and Project applications at the Planning Commission meeting of May 21, 2026; and on said date the Public Hearing was opened, held and closed; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the Second Addendum, all of the CEQA documents, staff reports, supplemental memorandums, and background reports on May 21, 2026, and all relevant evidence in the record and recommended City Council approval of the Second Addendum and MMRP to the Chess Hatch Master Plan EIR and addendum thereto, for the proposed project, by the adoption of Resolution P-06-26; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Foster City finds that the above recitals are true and correct and material to this Resolution, and in making its findings, the Planning Commission relied upon and hereby incorporates by reference all correspondence, staff reports, and other related materials from the May 21, 2026 public hearing finds:
1. Pursuant to Foster City Municipal Code Section 17.36.030.E, the Planning Commission finds that:
a. The planned development complies with the applicable provisions of the adopted city general plan, because it is consistent with General Plan goals and policies, including LUC-C-9 Parcels Adjacent to Waterways, LUC-C-12- a Periodic Monitoring of Land Uses Throughout the City, LUC-C13 Conformance with Chapter 17.68, LUC-D-1 Meeting Commercial and Industrial Land Use Needs, LUC-D-9 Design Review of Commercial and Industrial Projects, LUC-D-10 Health and Safety Performance Standards for Industrial and Commercial Activities, LUC-D-11 Businesses Using Hazardous Materials, LUC-E-5 Access to New Commercial and Industrial Projects, LUCF-1 Traffic Level of Service Standards, LUC-F-3 Employer-based Trip Reduction, LUC-G Provide Adequate Parking, LUC-G-1 Parking and Internal Circulation in Project Design, LUC-G-5 Bicycle Parking, LUC-H-2 Reduce GHG Emissions, LUC-H-5-a Tree and Landscape Program, LUC-K1 Redevelopment Opportunities, and LUC-K-2 Consistency with City’s Infrastructure.
b. The planned development complies with the city’s applicable objective design and development standards because the Project was evaluated and found consistent with the provisions of applicable FCMC regulations and Chess Hatch Design Principles, incorporating proper site planning and architectural design per LUC-B, and would not result in more visual impacts in the Second Addendum as it pertains to building design (i.e., massing and glare) and operations than the certified EIR. In particular, the Phase 1 building would be a two-story lab building in the middle of the overall project site to accommodate large equipment for intended tasks and is proposed to be built in the middle of the project site to reduce vibration/noise impacts from the roadways. The building would be solid and rectangular in form so that the floor plates are similar in size and the curves, angles, arcades and cantilevers would act as
7.1 Attachment 7 - Adopted Planning Commission Resolutions 473
Resolution No. P-07-26
RZ2025-0005
-4-
punctuation to the overall design. Future Phase 2 will feature two taller signature buildings acting as bookends to define the campus edges and reinforce its identity, including an eight-story gateway building at the intersection of Foster City Boulevard and Chess Drive will mark the campus arrival. The Project, as conditioned, shall incorporate architectural screening for the Phase 2 parking structure to ensure appropriate shielding from city gateways. Furthermore, Phase 2 R&D buildings would be required to continue to implement mitigation measure VIS-1a and VIS-1b along with conditions of approval that would require project-specific design review at time of proposal.
Furthermore, the Project is proposing development standards included in Exhibit A to support the development of the site.
c. Utility and service providers have verified that the proposed facilities will meet the needs of the population densities and land uses proposed. The Water Supply Assessment was provided by the applicant and reviewed by Estero Municipal Improvement District. As part of the environmental assessment, a Utility Impact Study was also prepared to confirm EMID’s existing sewer system has the capacity to support both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the proposed Project and future cumulative conditions and if any repairs to the system would be necessary to accommodate the proposed project plus future cumulative conditions.
d. The proposed ratios for off-street parking are consistent with the parking regulations of the city, as provided in Chapter 17.62 because FCMC Section
17.36.060 allows for deviation from parking standards based on (1) parking analysis and (2) transportation systems management plan (TSM)/travel demand management (TDM) program. The Applicant has provided the required parking study pursuant to Section 17.36.060 demonstrating how and why the proposed parking ratio of 1.2 spaces per 1,000 SF would work with the new campus, and was made part of the record. The Applicant also submitted a TDM Plan (Exhibit C-1) employing all of the amenities and incentives known to reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips to the campus. The parking analysis includes a parking demand study that demonstrates that the demand for the proposed use is less than the minimum off-street parking otherwise required per the Code as indicated by collecting parking data from a similar campus (South Campus) at the main Gilead campus. Staff will continue to be monitored through the implementation of the TDM program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Foster City hereby recommends City Council approval of an ordinance amending the Foster City Zoning Map to modify the previously approved GDP for an approximately 11.87-acre land known as Chess Hatch Master Plan located at 1155-1159, 1161-1169, and 1175-1191 Chess Drive in the C-M/PD (Commercial Mix/Planned Development Combining) District with an amended GDP removing office as a primary use and updating associated exhibits to facilitate the proposed Gilead Campus Expansion Project (APNs: 094-010-500, 094-010-510, 094-010-100) as shown on Exhibits A, B, C-1, D and E of this Resolution, attached hereto and incorporated herein and subject to the conditions of approval as shown on Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated herein.

RE: Gilead Sciences Campus Expansion Project and New Chess Facility TDM Concept Final Letter
Dear Ms. Tsang:
Gilead is planning to submit a resubmission responding to the City of Foster City (City) incompleteness Letter #1 for EA2025-0001, RZ2025-0005, UP2025-0012 Application for General Development Plan Amendment and Use Permit for Gilead Campus Expansion and New Chess Facility. Gilead Campus Expansion Project is one single development project with two phases on the Chess Hatch Property in Foster City, CA. The site is bounded by Chess Drive to the north, Foster City Boulevard to the west, SR-92 to the south and Central Lake to the east. The existing office park consisted of 12 buildings. The project proposes to demolish the existing buildings and construct a biotechnology research and development building (New Chess Facility) up to 200,000 square feet as Phase 1 of the project. Phase 2 would consist of additional building up to a maximum of approximately 600,000 square feet, together with a multi-story parking garage.
As part of the update submission, Gilead would like to submit a concept plan for the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) to the City. The concept plan for the TDM would tier off of the existing TDM plan prepared for the Gilead Sciences Integrated Corporate Campus Master Plan. Through this TDM, all Gilead employees are provided amenities that help to reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips, and therefore these amenities would also be provided to the employees for the Gilead Campus Expansion Project and New Chess Facility. As Gilead employees, employees of the project will have access to the multitude of amenities provided at the new Chess Hatch campus and throughout the Gilead Sciences Campus, which is summarized in Table 1. John Chu (650-522-5430, [email protected]) is the current Integrated Corporate Campus TDM Coordinator and will also be the TDM Coordinator for the Chess Hatch campus.
As required for new projects in San Mateo County, the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) has a TDM checklist that is required for the project. Attachment A includes the C/CAG TDM checklist. The list above provides additional information to support the TDM measures included in the checklist.

7.1 Attachment 7 - Adopted Planning Commission Resolutions 484
kimley-horn.com 4637 Chabot Drive, Suite 300, Pleasanton, CA 94588 925 398 4840 Since the above amenities are provided to all Gilead employees, including employees of the project, the New Chess Facility would qualify for providing these TDM measures and are included in the C/CAG TDM checklist. With the TDM measures shown in the TDM Checklist, the New Chess Facility would expect a total trip reduction of 52 percent. This approximately 50 percent trip reduction would exceed the target trip reduction of 35 percent for a transit proximate project (project located within 0.5 miles to 3 miles from a high quality transit service).
Table 2 summarizes the proposed parking requirements for Phase 1 of the Project, as the size for full project buildout has not been finalized. The parking requirements were calculated based on the Foster City Municipal Code (FMC) 17.62.040.A and 17.62.100.H. Per FMC 17.62.060.D.3, a 15% program, which would also be implemented at this site. This results in a Phase 1 requirement of 152 spaces.

LANDSCAPE CHARACTER
The planting design language is organic and informal, a deliberate contrast to the linear building. The intent is for the landscape to provide a visual and experiential contrast andrespite from the interior work environment. The current landscape design establishes the spatial structure and character that will continue through future phases, when the landscapeextends to Parcel 1 and portions of Parcels 2 and 3 are reconfigured.At the building entry and drop-off, the Lobby Plaza's enhanced paving and furnishings arestrategically located and scaled to enhance the arrival experience and encourage outdooractivity. The plaza extends from and relates to the character of the architecture.The plantings are designed to evoke the California coastal prairie and savannah. A matrixof decorative grasses is punctuated by loose drifts of perennials, evergreen shrubs, andclusters of trees. Plant materials are drought tolerant, primarily California natives, and provide visual interest during all seasons.
SITE DESIGN OBJECTIVES
The unique opportunities that the site affords can be organized into three distinct zones: the Linear Landscape, the Green Buffer, and the Canal Shoreline. These three zones form the“landscape structure” that define the site design. Opportunities relating to each of these zones are described below:The Linear Landscape will establish a welcoming and refined public-facing landscapefrontage along Chess Drive, connecting the Phase 2 garage with the Phase 2 building and canal shoreline. This Linear Landscape will be the public face of the project and layered foreground for the large Phase 1 building. The planting grain and texture will be commensurate with the scale of the NCF building. The linear landscape integrates a 1-waydrop-off loop and Arrival/Lobby Plaza for employees and visitors. The plaza allows for flexible gathering and seating at the building entry and includes a curved seatwall facing the drop-off and movable furnishings for outdoor work, lunching, and socializing. The plaza wraps around the building and connects to the Northeast planting area. A generous 80-foot planting buffer separates the building from the parking area. Windows along the Northeast façade allow people occupying the lobby, break room, and workspaces to enjoy views of a native and adapted plant understory and shade trees.

Green Buffer: The existing vegetative buffer along Highway 92 provides partial visualscreening of the traffic but does not significantly diminish the traffic noise. The width of theexisting green buffer will be preserved, and the planting will be enhanced with a mix of tallevergreen trees and shrubs for greater visual screening to the highway. A new security fence will be provided at the south property line along the highway frontage.
Canal Shoreline: The current phase of work will include grading and plantingimprovements extending to the canal-edge property line. Large existing trees along thecanal frontage will be protected during construction and remain for the life of the parking lot.
In Phase 2, the shoreline landscape could be expanded with enhanced programming in response to the significantly increased employee count. The parking lot edge and security fence will be held back approximately 20 feet from the property line. Gilead will coordinatewith the City to selectively manage the shoreline vegetation to prevent the spread of invasive plant species, deter undesired activities, and enhance security.

If construction activities must occur during the breeding and nesting season (February 1 through September 15), a qualified biologist shall conduct pre-construction surveys for nesting raptors and other protected avian species within 300 feet of the proposed construction activities. Pre-construction surveys should be conducted no more than seven (7) days prior to the start of the construction activities during the early part of the breeding season (February through April) and no more than 14 days prior to the initiation of these activities during the late part of the breeding season (May through August). If raptors or other protected avian nests are identified during the pre-construction surveys, the qualified biologist would notify the project proponent and an appropriate nodisturbance buffer would be imposed within which no construction activities or disturbance would take place (generally 300 feet in all directions for raptors; other avian species may have species-specific requirements) until the young of the year have fledged and are no longer reliant upon the nest or parental care for survival, as determined by a qualified biologist. If no raptors or other protected avian nests are identified during the pre-construction surveys, construction activities, including vegetation and/or tree removal, may proceed with measures/recommendations as determined by the qualified biologist.

Such approval or conditional approval may be extended for a period not to exceed two additional years by the planning commission upon written request, providing such request is made prior to the expiration of the one-year approval or conditional approval period, per Section 16.32.050, as amended.
2. Phasing and Subsequent Map(s). The project includes two (2) development phases:
Phase 1: Construction of up to a maximum 200,000-square-foot , two-story research and development lab building with ancillary office uses and surface parking.
Phase 2: Construction of up to 600,000 square feet of R&D uses and a multi-story parking structure, for a maximum 800,000 SF across the campus; remaining square footage from Phase 1 may be utilized for Phase 2.
The Vesting Tentative Map depicts Phase 1 improvements only; Phase 2 is subject to future entitlement process and mapping action, if needed.
3. Substantial Conformance. The Final Subdivision Map shall be in substantial compliance with the approved Vesting Tentative Parcel Map. Any material deviation shall require prior written approval of the Community Development Director and, where required, an amendment to the map consistent with FCMC Title 16 and the Subdivision Map Act.
