                Document Description
            
            The proposed project would construct one single-story concrete tilt-up building, totaling approximately 107,612 square feet of manufacturing space on a 7.81-acre undeveloped site within the City of Davis. The back of the building, along the building’s northern side, would contain 2-4 dock doors and 2-5 grade level overhead doors to accommodate the proposed biotech/advanced manufacturing tenant base. Site improvements include grading, tree removal, drainage, stormwater, utilities, parking, landscaping, and other related improvements.
The project is being designed to accommodate a life science, biotech, or advanced
manufacturing tenant. Ownership of the project site is currently in negotiation with a local Davis tenant who is expanding facility needs within the City of Davis. The applicant of the proposed project has designed a site plan (Option A) that would accommodate the expansion needs of the project owner. If negotiations fall through with the prospective tenant, project ownership still desires to build a substantially similar site plan and facility (Option B) on a speculative basis. The project applicant is seeking approval of both site plans within the entitlement effort to provide flexibility for future construction.
Development of the project would require abandonment/vacation of a portion of right-of-way (ROW) of Faraday Avenue, both the currently existing cul-de-sac and the planned future extension to the east. As a part of this abandonment/vacation of the ROW, the project proposes to pull back and reconstruct the existing Faraday Avenue cul-de-sac west of its current location and incorporate a portion of the abandoned ROW into the proposed site plan. This would result in an increase of the project site to approximately 8.83 acres. There are existing public utilities within the ROW, which would remain in place, and would be covered with dedication of a Public Utility Easement(s).
