Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />May 20, 2021 <br />Page 2 of 13 <br />Williams asked about why the plan proposed LEED Silver instead of Gold. <br />Josh Radoff replied that different projects had different starting points, and a project downtown <br />would be able to achieve Gold by doing the same amount of work as what the proposal was <br />doing to achieve Silver, largely based on transportation accessibility for denser areas. He stated <br />that the point -based nature of LEED meant that you were looking for additional points to level up <br />on a score card and it was hard to put into numbers. <br />Williams asked about clustering to achieve a smaller footprint and if it would make Gold more <br />achievable. <br />Radoff replied that it might be more achievable but he did not know if it would help with the <br />density points. It would help increase open space but they had already met the open space <br />criteria. He stated that concentrated infrastructure was more efficient, but from an overall <br />standpoint clustering was a more sustainable move and he did not know how that would relate <br />to LEED points. He noted that LEED did not allow credit for tenant efficiencies. <br />Williams asked if they could mandate LEED compliance for their tenants. <br />Radoff replied that LEED had a program for commercial interiors that tenants would want to <br />meet. He explained that part of the development approach was to write guidelines for tenants. <br />Williams asked if they anticipated specific types of tenants, what triggered each phase of the <br />project, and how many phases of the project they planned on. <br />Geoff Baukol replied that they did not know the tenants but the US 36 corridor was tech- and <br />engineer -oriented. There was an innovation theme to the campus and he imagined biosciences, <br />life sciences, and medical devices could be big, or an aerospace engineering firm or something <br />similar could take advantage of the R&D focus and the region. Phasing included Phase 1 <br />focused on infrastructure and the rest of the phases would come after the GDP. <br />Williams asked if financial aspects or tenant occupancy percentage triggered the phases. <br />Baukol replied that a major user could decide the location on the parcel where they want to be <br />and that could require additional infrastructure and create a non -linear phasing, otherwise the <br />phasing would likely be geographical from east to west based on infrastructure starting with <br />Campus Drive. <br />Williams asked about post -pandemic office space trends. <br />Baukol replied that they had been thinking of it as an advantage because this site was creating <br />new product that would satisfy needs of tenants and they were predicting that health was a <br />driving factor such that employees and tenants would want a blend of indoor and outdoor space. <br />He thought it played to the strengths of Redtail Ridge with the trails and the open space. <br />Williams asked if they were worried that businesses were not going to want that much building <br />space because the workforce would work from home. <br />Baukol replied that long term it would be hard for businesses to maintain a culture without <br />central office space and his sense was that the market would come back with changes but that <br />it would come back. He emphasized the desirability of the location and catering to tenants' <br />needs. Work -from -home was a concern but not debilitating. <br />
