(more than 150 feet instead of 35 feet from the northern boundary of the ECC Property), narrows the 175-foot height area(320 feet wide, west to east, instead of 462 feet), reduces the total allowable square footage for development (from 1 million to approximately 850,000 square feet), and includes other conditions to address concerns of area residents. 30. The revised PEMC Master Plan for the ECC Property proposed by PEMC will further mitigate impacts in the following manner: a) Relocation of the Utility Building to a more central location on the ECC Property, approximately 150 feet from the northern ECC Property boundary, will significantly reduce its visual impact to northern residences as well as reduce shading impacts, and further reduce the potential for noise and air emission impacts on the neighborhood; b) Reduction of the ground area for the 175-height zone for the hospital tower on the ECC Property will significantly reduce the visual impact of the Master Plan for nearby residences and reduce shading impacts to northern residences; c) Reduction of the overall allowed developable square footage on the ECC Property will reduce the need for on-site parking and reduce off-site traffic impacts; 31. The transportation impacts analysis by Perteet (January 2008) for the PEMC Master Plan for the ECC Property projected that, based on PEMC's current travel mode split for employees (73% single occupant vehicles), a buildout of one million square feet of development on the ECC Property would generate 2,026 total p.m. peak hour trips and generate the need for an additional 1,966 parking spaces. The revised PEMC Master Plan for the ECC Property provides for a maximum of only 850,000 square feet of development and will, therefore, generate less traffic and create less demand for additional parking than projected in the transportation study.
