Lead Agency:City of Milpitas Planning Department455 East Calaveras BoulevardMilpitas, CA 95035-5411Rozalynne Thompson, Senior Planner(408) 586-3278rthompson@ci.milpitas.ca.gov3. Project Applicant:Overton Moore PropertiesMichael Johnson, Vice President Development4. Project Location:1000 Gibraltar Drive, City of MilpitasAPN: 086-42-0335. General Plan Designation:Manufacturing (MFG)6. Zoning:Industrial (M2)7. Description of ProjectThe proposed project consists of a new 491,040-square foot tilt-up concrete creative industrialbuilding with two supporting offices at the northwest and southeast corners and surface parkingon all sides of the building (Figure 9). Approximately 486,130 square feet of warehouse and 4,910square feet of office space is proposed. The proposed building has been designed toaccommodate up to two separate tenants with proposed uses including Advanced Manufacturing,E-Commerce, Light Assembly, Warehouse/Distribution, and possibly other uses permitted withinthe City’s Industrial (M2) zone.Flexibility has become a key issue as companies transform their business operations andtechnology pushes change at an ever-increasing pace. The proposed creative industrial buildingprovides large unobstructed spaces that accommodate many types of activities and that supportchanging operations in a changing business landscape.7a. Project Site and Surrounding Land Uses:The 28.96-acre project site is located within the south-central portion of the City of Milpitas and issurrounded by light industrial and commercial uses. The project site is currently developed witha vacant corporate campus (vacant since 2015) including four office buildings andresearch/development facilities ranging from one to two stories in height, representing 416,000square feet with approximately 490,000 square feet of surface parking lots along the site periphery(Figure 3). The street frontage and site are landscaped with a large number and variety ofornamental trees including valley oak, olive, paloverde, pittosporum, coast redwood, coast liveoak, queen palm, spruce, crape myrtle, zelkova, strawberry tree, plum/cherry, yellow birch,Chinese pistache, London plane tree, sweetgum, Chinese fringe tree, and shamel ash. Existingviews of the project site are provided in Figures 4 and 5, and views of surrounding land uses areprovided in Figures 6 and 7. The full set of site plans is provided in Appendix A and a tree surveyof the site is provided in Appendix B. Building heights within the surrounding areas vary by landuse.1000 Gibraltar DriveCity of MilpitasInitial StudyJune 20201
The project site is bounded by South Milpitas Boulevard to the east, Gibraltar Drive to the southand west, and by a multi-tenant office building to the north (Figures 1 and 2) approximately ½ milefrom Montague Expressway, 1 mile from Interstate 680, 2 miles from SR-237 and 2 miles fromInterstate 880. Montague Expressway is an 8 lane Expressway running east-west to the south ofthe project site. Interstate 680 is a 10-lane freeway running north-south to the east of the project.Interstate 880 is an 8-lane freeway running north-south west of the project site. SR-237/CalaverasBoulevard is an east/west arterial that links I-880 and I-680 and generally provides six travel lanes(four on the overcrossing over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks).Bay Area Rapid Transit VTA is currently constructing an extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit(BART) system from Warm Springs (Fremont) to Berryessa (San Jose). The BART tracks wouldbe located approximately 2,500 feet southwest of the project site, paralleling the east side of theUnion Pacific Railroad Milpitas Yard. Also, Union Pacific Railroad operates several rail facilitiesin the project vicinity.7b. General Plan Land Use Designation and ZoningThe project and surrounding uses are located within the City’s Industrial Zone M2, under theGeneral Plan land use designation of Manufacturing (MFG). The project is bounded by MilpitasBoulevard to the east, Gibraltar Drive on the south and west and the north by a multi-tenant officebuilding. The project does not require a change to land use or zoning designation, nor does itrequire a Conditional Use Permit. There is no height limit in the Milpitas Municipal Code forstructures in any of the Industrial zones, but the Code requires that “any structure that exceedsthree (3) stories or thirty-five (35) feet must make the following finding: That any such excessheight will not be detrimental to the light, air or privacy of any other structure or use currentlyexisting or anticipated.”1 The maximum floor area ratio for the M2 zone is .40.Proposed Project Summary1000 Gibraltar Drive Project Development SummaryTotal Site Area28.96 acresGross Building Area491,040 square feetWarehouse486,130 square feetOffice Space4,910 square feetVehicle Parking Spaces Required/Provided338 Spaces Required / 346 Spaces Provided1Milpitas Municipal Code.

Project DesignThe forward-looking configuration of the proposed creative industrial building includes two-storylanterns of glass that accentuate the office corners of the facility creating solid and void in themassing of the 42-foot tall facilities. Clearstories of glazing are proposed high on the concrete tiltup panels between the transparent corners providing natural light deep into the building footprint.Concrete panel elements are proposed to be used as accents and multi-colored paintcompositions to break down the scale of the concrete tilt up walls. Each office area would alsohave an operable garage door that would open to a private patio. At 36 feet clear, the tall envelopeof the building has been designed to accommodate a wide range of users that require efficientfacilities. Proposed exterior elevations are illustrated in Figures 10 and 11.Open Space and LandscapingThe Tree Survey (Appendix B) found 183 protected trees within the project site. Of theseprotected trees, approximately 88 would be removed by the proposed project. The project wouldcomply with the City’s Tree Ordinance, including the replacement of protected trees. Deepsetbacks with landscaping along South Milpitas Boulevard and Gibraltar Drive are proposed toprovide a consistent visual identity for the project. The enhanced landscaping combines existingtrees with new trees and would have varied tree species and shrubs with plant species that areconsistent with the surrounding area and meet drought tolerant requirements. Green screenswould also be providing living visible barriers that would adequately screen views into the truckcourts from South Milpitas Boulevard and Gibraltar Drive.LightingThe proposed project is required to comply with the City’s requirements for outdoor lighting. Theproject’s lighting plan would include night lighting for parking areas, walkways, and driveways.Outdoor lights would cast downward and would be shrouded to prevent glare. The project sitelighting would be designed to comply with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design(LEED) light pollution reduction requirements.Access, Circulation, and ParkingThe circulation for the proposed project has been designed to ensure the safe and efficientmovement of cars and trucks throughout the project site. Five driveways ranging in widths of 30to 50 feet would be provided along South Milpitas Boulevard and Gibraltar Drive. Parking isproposed to be located in surface parking lots that would surround or be adjacent the proposedcreative industrial building. Based upon a total of 491,040 square feet of creative industrial floorarea, 338 parking spaces are required, whereas the proposed project includes 346 parkingspaces, thus exceeding the City’s parking requirements. The proposed creative industrial buildingis proposed to be parked at two parking stalls per 1,000 square feet with the elimination of somedock doors, allowing for more job intensive operations on-site. The truck dock yards are proposedto be wider than typical at 125 feet, allowing for interior maneuverability within the truck courts.Provided will be 101 trailer parking stalls within the truck courts. Level 2 EV Charging stationswill be install at a count of 4% of the total parking spaces (approximately 14). Additionally, 25%of the truck dock doors will be provided as Level 2 EV Capable for future EV truck charging.Grading and DrainageApproximately 100,800 cubic yards of soil would be moved around the site, and grading of thesite would be balanced. No export or import of soil is anticipated, minimizing impacts to air qualityand truck trips.The proposed project includes the construction of low impact development (LID) stormwatermanagement systems, including proposed bio-retention treatment areas (Figure 8), which would1000 Gibraltar DriveCity of MilpitasInitial StudyJune 20203
allow stormwater runoff from the project site to infiltrate the ground surface resulting in a netreduction of runoff from the site). Under existing conditions, stormwater runoff from imperviousareas of the project site is captured in storm drain systems with no opportunity to infiltrate theground surface. The proposed project’s stormwater quality control plan is provided in Figure 12.Demolition and ConstructionThe proposed project would result in the demolition of the existing buildings and all surfacepavements on the site. The demolition and construction phases of the proposed project areanticipated to take approximately 13 to 15 months. A preliminary demolition plan is included inFigure 8. All demolished building components will be separated and recycled on site as fill(concrete, asphalt paving and trees as mulch in landscape areas and bioswales) or to offsiterecycling facilities (steel, aluminum, copper, glass). Construction will be to CalGreen Tier I or TierII standards including all Title 24 requirements8. Permits and Approvals:The information contained in this Initial Study will be used by the Lead Agency (the CaliforniaEnvironmental Quality Act [CEQA] Lead Agency) as it considers whether or not to approve theproposed project.

But there is little that I could locate on the entire development of masonry there from 1724 to today—a span of 180 years. These notes are simply a s tart of what may well be a lengthy process of writing about Freemasonry in Gibraltar.
