1300 Lawrence Drive Project (MND 2022-70001)
Mitigated Negative Declarations
The proposed 1300 Lawrence Drive Project (Project) is located on three parcels totaling 6.64-acres and currently improved with an 820-space, surface parking lot developed in the 1990s. The Project would merge the three Project Site parcels to allow the demolitions of the existing surface parking lot and develop a new one-story, industrial shell building for warehouse/storage use and related site improvements, including truck court and 191 surface parking spaces. The proposed building would have a height of 37-feet, a 116,384square foot footprint, and a total building area of 120,348 square feet, consisting of 112,384 square feet of warehouse space and 8,000 square feet of office space (including a 4,000 square foot mezzanine). The Project would also include 35,615 square feet of landscape area, consisting of shrubs/groundcover/vines and 122 trees. Two existing Oak trees would be removed and replaced at a 3: 1 ratio.
The Project would be consistent with Title 24 and would include: bicycle parking; electric vehicle charging stations; infrastructure for future electric vehicle charging (including medium- and heavy-duty charging); shade trees; water-conserving indoor plumbing fixtures and fittings; weather-resistant exterior wall and foundation envelope; and low volatile-organic-compound (VOC) architectural coatings. The building is anticipating a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
Project demolition is anticipated to begin in July of 2023, and completion of construction and architectural coatings/finishing is expected for February 2024. Approximately 360 employees would work at the Project Site; however, not at the same time. Employees would have access to the Site 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
