11 DEVELOPMENT SITES The proposed Mission Boulevard Mixed-Use Development sites (the Property ) are a part of the 534-acre Fremont Campus. The sites are located along Mission Boulevard between Witherly Lane to the north and Pine Street to the south. The Property totals approximately 15.0 acres in size and is anticipated to be divided in the following development sites: Parcel A Parcel B-1 Parcel B acres 6.0 acres 7.2 acres 15.0 acres The boundary line between Parcels B-1 and B-2 as indicated in this RFP is approximate. The District is willing to consider an adjustment to the boundary line to accommodate an acceptable proposal by a selected development team. Parcel A is currently vacant. Parcel B-1 is currently occupied by a surface parking lot consisting of 296 spaces for students, staff and faculty. Parcel B-2 is currently occupied by a surface parking lot consisting of 243 spaces. The District has constructed a parking garage on another area of the campus to replace the parking spaces on Parcels B-1 and B-2 but continues to make use of both lots until a lease agreement is secured with a developer for those parcels. There is an existing pedestrian promenade running east-to-west that connects the core area of the campus and Mission Boulevard. This pedestrian connection will need to be retained and enhanced in order to provide for a pedestrian area and linear space feature, including providing for connections between Parcels B-1 and B-2. There are existing rows of olive trees that extend along the entire Mission Boulevard frontage of Parcels A, B-1 and B-2. The expectation is that these existing trees will remain substantially in place and be incorporated into the proposed development subject to the appropriate City of Fremont policies, plans and ordinances (see Proposal Submittal Package). Existing uses adjacent to the Property include neighborhood and community retail uses to the north and west, and residential uses (single and multiple family housing) to the south. P. 10
