Description
Apple's Senior Director of Real Estate & Facilities, Dan Whisenhunt, provides a presentation on the Apple Campus 2 project at the October 1, 2013 Joint Study Session of the Cupertino City Council and the Cupertino Planning Commission.
A
The
purpose
of
today's
session
is
to
receive
a
report
on
the
environmental
impact
report
and
the
comments
and
the
project.
Overall,
it
is
not
a
decision.
Meeting
at
all,
there'll
be
no
decisions
that
will
be
made
here
today.
It's
it's
a
time
for
us
to
ask
questions,
and
it's
a
time
for
us
to
hear
from
the
public
on
comments.
I
think
they're,
the
original
presentations
by
the
city
and
the
consultants
is
going
to
take
about
three
hours
and
then
we
will
have
a
short
break.
A
My
understanding
is
that
we
had
this
issue
about
whether
to
give
you
guys
the
audience,
a
long
break,
to
go
and
find
food,
but
I
think
we're
bringing
food
here
for
you.
So
there
is
such
a
thing
as
a
free
lunch,
free
dinner
and
then
we'll
move.
You
know
continue
on
the
meeting
as
long
as
it
takes.
I
am
going
to
follow
what
I've
tried
to
do
since
since
I've
been
mayor,
and
that
is
to
allow
three
minutes.
A
That's
the
normal
time,
but
I'm
also
going
to
encourage
people
that
they
don't
need
to
take
the
three
minutes.
So
if
somebody's
prepared
a
three
minute
statement
and
I
want
to,
you
know
spring
a
surprise
and
say
it's
just
two
minutes
and
have
you
figure
out
what
to
do
or
or
get
together
with
somebody
else?
So
that's
worked
out
really
well
lately.
When
we
had
the
last
session
that
would
have
a
lot
of
people
there.
It
averaged
about
a
little
over
a
minute
and
I'm
I'm,
cautiously
optimistic
that
we
can
do
that
tonight.
B
A
B
Well,
it's
oh!
Is
it
better
now
yeah?
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
explain
briefly
how
the
presentation
is
structured.
We
will
lead
off
with
dead
and
whizzing
it
from
Apple
who
will
present
their
overall
project.
We
then
moved
to
Adam
Weinstein
from
the
city's
consultant,
Ellis
Leigh,
who
will
explain
the
environmental
impact
report
and
we
will
conclude
with
Jane
Bierstadt,
who
is
from
fear
and
period
the
city's
traffic
consultant.
Who
will
explain
the
traffic
impacts
and
mitigation
measures
so
I
guess
we
will
lead
off
with
Dan.
D
My
mic
working
okay,
yep
great!
Well
thanks
everybody
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
Dan
Whisenhunt
with
Apple,
and
it's
great
to
be
here
too.
Today.
First
of
all,
it's
been
a
long
time
coming,
but
I'd
like
to
before
I
begin
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city
staff
for
all
the
hard
work
that
you
guys
have
put
in
to
make.
This
special
session
tonight
happen
and
all
the
work
that
you
put
in
for
the
last
few
years
just
to
get
us
to
this
stage
of
the
game.
D
It's
a
very
appreciated
so
on
behalf
of
all
of
Apple
I'm,
just
extremely
excited
to
be
here
today
to
share
the
many
dimensions
of
this
incredible
project
with
you.
I've
got
about
two
hours
worth
of
presentation
to
give
you
but
I
promise
I'm
going
to
try
to
condense
it
to
about
20
minutes
so
I'm
going
to
do
that
by
we've
prepared
a
little
short
video
for
you,
then
I
would
let,
if
you'll
bear
with
me
on
a
few
numbers.
D
B
F
For
me,
the
project
started
in
the
summer
of
2009
out
of
the
blue.
A
telephone
call
is
Steve.
Hi
Norman
I
need
some
help.
I
was
out
there
three
weeks
later
and
look
at
this
one
of
the
most
memorable
things
and
perhaps
vital
to
the
project,
while
Steve
saying
don't
think
of
me
as
your
client.
Think
of
me,
as
one
of
your
team.
F
E
The
idea
is
to
bring
California
back
to
Cupertino.
The
site
was
originally
set
down
in
the
1960's
and
1970's,
with
a
focus
on
building
commercial
buildings,
parking
lots
with
some
decorative
trees.
Very
few
of
the
trees
planted
were
indigenous,
and
very
few
of
them
were
even
well
adapted
to
the
site.
Our
plan
is
to
transplant
the
strongest
of
the
trees
on
the
site
and
augment
them
with
even
more
resilient
species
such
as
oats
that
are
well
adapted
to
our
dry
climate.
E
C
C
G
Project
is
pushing
the
boundaries
of
technology.
In
almost
every
aspect,
the
facade
will
be
new.
The
glazing
is
a
completely
new
system,
never
been
done
before.
The
concrete
structure
is
unique.
Everything
is
handcrafted
for
this
project.
We
have
a
building
which
is
pushing
social
behavior.
In
the
way
people
work
to
new
limits.
How
are
people
going
to
work
in
the
future
and
interact
in
the
future?
G
F
Didn't
start
as
a
circular
building,
it
really
grew
into
that.
So
the
idea
of
one
building
with
a
great
park
was
really
born
out
of
a
very
intensive
process
with
many
models.
Many
presentations
and
that
process
continues
today
and
will
continue
through
the
construction
which
will
start
rolling.
We
anticipate
this
year.
D
Yes,
pretty
amazing
yeah,
we
do
love
Cupertino,
we
love
our
customers
and
we
love
Apple
Campus
too,
just
the
same
I'm
extremely
honored,
on
behalf
of
Apple
to
to
be
able
to
be
here
and
and
let
you
know
that
we've
assembled
a
team
that
has
the
great
opportunity
to
carry
out
Steve's
vision
for
our
new
home
in
Cupertino,
very
important
to
us,
and
it
will
be
the
best
office
building
in
the
world.
We've
got
the
team
here
to
do
it,
that's
for
sure,
but
it's
so
much
more
than
that.
D
This
project
will
be
one
of
the
most
environmentally
sustainable
developments
on
this
scale
anywhere
in
the
world.
It
provides
jobs,
it
provides
new
revenues
for
this
city
and
for
this
community
it
provides
many
many
many
public
improvements,
all
around
town,
and
it
also
provides
community
benefits
that
are
unmatched
anywhere
and
that's
kind
of
where
I'd
like
to
start
next.
So
let
me
get
bear
with
me:
I've
got
a
few
numbers
here
for
you:
I
want
to
start
with
job
creation.
Today,
Apple
has
16,000
employees
across
Cupertino
when
Apple
Campus
two
lands.
D
We
expect
that
to
be
24,000
employees
all
here
in
Cupertino,
that's
serious
in
addition
to
our
own
employment.
We
support
jobs
all
across
the
county
that
take
that
number
up
to
41,000
jobs.
In
addition,
over
the
3-year
construction
period,
Apple
Campus
2
will
generate
about
9,000
new
jobs,
most
of
which
will
be
high-paying
union
jobs
on
our
job
site
in
support
of
the
the
local
economy.
Last
year,
Apple
generated
about
5.9
billion
dollars
in
revenue
for
local
business
by
the
time
the
campus
lands.
D
This
number
is
expected
to
be
over
8
billion
dollars,
staggering
number,
as
far
as
where
our
tax
money
goes
property
tax
alone,
with
Apple
campus
to
more
than
doubles
from
last
year's
twenty
five
million
dollars
to
fifty
seven
million
dollars
upon
completion
of
the
campus
annual
city
tax
receipts
go
from
roughly
nine
million
dollars
to
about
thirteen
million
dollars
immediately
upon
approval
of
the
campus.
So
the
city
sees
this
benefit
just
next
year.
D
The
construction
also
will
generate
about
forty
five
million
dollars
in
one-time
revenues
for
the
city
and
that's
just
solely
from
property,
sale,
construction,
tax
and
construction
fees.
Apples
also
committed
to
investing
over.
Seventy
three
million
dollars
in
community
benefits,
sixty
million
dollars
of
that
will
be
addressed
toward
traffic
and
roadway
improvements,
landscaping,
improvements,
utility
upgrades
utility
improvements
and
then
the
balance
of
that
will
be
contributions
toward
affordable
housing
and
public
park
lands.
D
So
all
combined
this
this
package
represents
unprecedented
revenues
for
this
city
and
for
this
community
and
we
believe
what
comes
with
that
is
great
opportunity.
So
let
me
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
about
the
campus,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
16,000
people
today
in
Cupertino
and
we're
spread
over
80
buildings
around
town.
Most
of
you
know
our
infinite
loop
campus
on
280
and
DeAnza.
That
only
holds
three
thousand
people,
so
we're
spread
everywhere.
D
In
the
last
couple
of
years,
we've
also
had
to
take
our
growth
out
of
town
to
the
neighboring
cities
of
coop
of
Sunnyvale
and
Santa
Clara
in
very
large
numbers,
and
very
important
point
here
is-
is
what's
key
to
apples.
Success
is
collaboration,
it's
it's
one
of
Apple's
greatest
strengths
and
it's
the
cornerstone
of
our
ability
to
innovate,
great
products.
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
keep
engineering
groups
and
creative
groups
together
and
we'd.
D
That's
how
Steve
worked
and
that's
how
this
team
has
been
working
so
a
few
years
ago
we
purchased
a
hundred
and
seventy-six
acres,
this
site
right
here,
that
is
bounded
by
Wolf,
Road,
homestead,
tantowel
and
280.
It
includes
the
the
former
campuses
of
HP
and
Compaq,
and
today
what
you
see
there
are
26
buildings
comprising
2.6
million
square
feet
and
basically
it's
a
bunch
of
outdated
buildings
and
a
sea
of
asphalt.
D
The
good
news
is
it's
a
great
site.
This
site
today
can
accommodate.
It's
got
the
roadway
and
infrastructure
to
accommodate
nearly
10,000
employees,
even
today,
the
site's
located
in
the
North
Valco
area
of
Cupertino,
which
is
a
very
nice
mixed
use,
neighborhood
and
it's
designated
in
the
city's
general
plan
for
corporate
uses
that
produce
jobs
and
revenue.
That's
exactly
how
we
want
to
use
this
site.
D
D
You
can
see
here
a
couple
of
shots
of
the
building,
but
also
we're
paying
a
lot
of
attention
to
the
perimeter
condition
and
creating
a
wonderful
park
setting
all
around
the
the
perimeter
for
the
community
to
enjoy.
So
here's
our
starting
point
today,
20%
landscaped,
a
hundred
and
forty
acres
of
asphalt
and
concrete.
We
want
to
completely
change
that
by
putting
our
parking
underground
and
in
a
lovely
parking
structure,
we've
been
able
to
add
a
hundred
acres
worth
of
green
space
and
landscaping
to
nearly
quadruple
the
landscaped
area
on
the
site.
D
So
what
we
want
to
create
there
is
is
literally
a
landscape
of
the
future,
so
our
arborist
and
landscape
architects
have
selected
plants
and
trees
that
actually
can
adapt
to
climate
change.
We've
selected
many
drought,
tolerant
and
native
plants
to
minimize
the
amount
of
water
that's
consumed
to
to
irrigate
these
plants.
D
We
also
have
deep
landscape
burns,
deep
landscape
setbacks
all
around
the
perimeter
that
are
that
are
heavily
landscaped,
heavily
wooded
with
mature
trees
and
and
berms
that
really
obscure
the
buildings
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
the
landscape
design
is
truly
inspired
by
the
the
beautiful
West
Valley
foothills
and
reminiscent
of
Santa
Clara
Valley
of
days
gone
by
so
trees.
Let's
talk
trees,
a
passion
that
we
have
that
Apple
is
about
trees.
We've
got
one
of
the
best
arborist
in
the
area
working
on
this
project
today
about
4,500
trees
on
that
site.
D
We've
also
been
working
over
that
same
time
with
one
of
the
world's
most
renowned
landscape,
architects,
Laurie,
Olin
and
partners
who
have
created
just
stunning
park,
lands
and
landscapes
that
enhance
this
entire
community.
So
let
me
orient
you
to
the
site.
You
see
the
main
building
the
main
ring
in
the
middle,
our
parking
structure
to
the
south
along
280,
our
corporate
auditorium,
the
corporate
fitness
center
in
the
northwest
corner
of
the
site,
keep
going
here.
Here's
our
Transit
Center
and
visitor
entrance
plaza
there
along
Thanh
Thao
and
some
research
facilities
along
Thanh,
Thao.
D
Some
of
the
one
shot
of
the
interior
there,
the
interior
courtyard
and
then
up
on
the
hill
between
the
main
building
in
the
parking
structure,
is
our
corporate
auditorium,
and
this
is
a
very
important
facility
for
us,
because
what
it
allows
us
to
do
is
take
the
product
launches
and
special
events
that
we
do
in
San,
Francisco
and
beyond
today,
and
bring
it
home
to
Cupertino.
We
think
this
is
a
great,
a
great
thing
for
us.
D
We
think
it's
a
great
thing
for
Cupertino
and
we
think
there
will
be
a
very
positive
spillover
effect
for
the
local
businesses
in
the
area.
A
couple
more
shots
of
the
corporate
auditorium
inside
the
lobby.
Then
a
key
feature
of
our
campus
project
is
our
Transit
Center.
So
this
Transit
Center
is
located
at
a
very
priority
spot
right
next
to
the
building
and
they
on
the
east
side.
That
makes
it
very
attractive
for
our
employees
to
take
part
in
the
the
various
transit
services
that
we
offer.
D
The
computer
coach
program
is
is
the
hallmark
of
that
transportation
program.
It's
one
of
the
industry
leading
programs
and
what
we
do
with
this
you've
probably
seen
some
of
these
grey
buses
around
town
we
go
out
and-
and
we
pick
up
employees
all
around
the
Bay
Area,
we
bring
them
to
our
Transit
Center
and
we
get
them
out
of
their
cars,
so
this
has
had
a
drastic
reduction
in
peak
our
automobile
trips
since
we
started
the
program
years
ago.
D
So
today,
what
that
program
has
allowed
us
to
do
is
achieve
about
a
twenty
eight
percent
participation
rate.
That's
in
reductions
of
peak
our
automobile
trips
and
with
Apple
Campus.
We
want
to
expand
and
enhance
this
program
and
take
it
to
34%.
This
is
a
this
is
an
aggressive
goal,
but
one
that
we
we
think
we
have
the
tools
to
achieve
and
we're
just
convinced.
We've
seen
this
happen
that
our
investments
in
these
transportation
programs
are
the
single
best
way
that
Apple
can
get
car
off
the
road
and
improve
traffic
flow
in
the
community
parking.
D
But
our
parking
strategy
has
allowed
us
to
do
accomplish
one
other,
very
important
goal
during
the
construction
phase
of
the
project.
It's
allowed
us
to
eliminate
the
off
all
of
soil.
So
if
you
can
picture
all
the
excavations
associated
with
with
creating
that
main
ring
building,
we
take
all
that
excavation.
We
redistribute
it
through
the
site,
creating
the
rolling
hills
and
the
berms
around
the
site,
and
we
achieve
a
balanced
sight.
So
what
this
does
is
eliminate
all
those
truck
trips
off
the
site.
D
It
reduces
air
emissions
and
it's
simply
better
for
the
neighborhood
during
during
the
construction
phase
of
the
project
in
the
parking
structures.
Both
of
them
will
also
outfit
with
hundreds
of
electric
vehicle
charging
stations,
with
provisions
to
increase
that
as
our
employees
purchase
more
electric
cars.
D
D
All
visitors
to
Apple
will
be
directed
to
arrive
at
the
tan
towel
site,
where
we
have
a
new
parking
structure
and
our
visitor
entrance
Plaza
and
then
you'll
notice
that,
through
the
site,
we've
integrated
a
segment
of
prune,
Ridge
Avenue
that
allows
us
to
keep
to
create
this
secure
and
unified
safe
work
environment
for
our
employees.
This
has
been
one
of
the
primary
goals
of
the
project
since
the
very
beginning,
and
also
what's
unique
about
the
project.
Is
the
egg?
Is
the
perimeter
condition?
D
So
let
me
show
you
a
couple
before-and-after
images
that
that
kind
of
represent
this
vision.
So
this
is
a
shot
of
wolf
Road.
Today,
looking
north
after
the
improvements
lane
widening
landscape
median
here's
homestead
road
just
to
the
north
of
the
site
and
after
the
addition
of
a
tree-lined
landscape,
median
detached
sidewalks,
etc,
tantowel
Avenue
probably
will
probably
receive
the
most
dramatic
modification
from
its
relatively
start
view.
Today.
D
But
let
me
take
you
back
to
tantowel
Avenue
for
a
minute,
because
is
this
becomes
the
new
front
door
for
Apple,
so
what
we've
done
it
tan
towel
here
you
see
what
we
call
the
entrance
Plaza
with
a
view
into
our
new
reception
building,
and
what
this
is.
This
becomes
a
it's
a
very
welcoming
and
wonderfully
landscaped
face
to
the
community.
D
This
entrance
Plaza
is
a
crescent-shaped
area
very
large.
It
can
accommodate
about
200
people
and
it
offers
it
will
offer
some
very
beautiful
views
back
to
the
main
building,
as
well
as
to
this
very
elegant,
reception
building
and
then
right
across
the
street.
We'll
have
a
parking
structure
and
this
parking
reception
building
that
has
ample
parking
for
all
our
visitors
and
guests,
so
Apple
Campus
2
also
represents
our
continued
leadership
and
innovation
in
environmentally
sustainable
design
across
many
dimensions.
D
Here's
a
couple
of
the
areas
I'd
like
to
mention
alternative
transportation.
Again,
one
third
of
our
employees
will
be
arriving
each
day
by
way
of
alternative
means
of
transportation,
energy
efficiency.
These
buildings
will
be
designed
to
be
the
most
energy
efficient,
using
technologies,
daylight
technologies,
natural
ventilation,
radiant,
cooling,
LED
lighting,
smart
controls
to
allow
us
to
reduce
the
energy
consumption
on
these
buildings
by
30%
over
your
typical
R&D
building
across
the
valley.
D
Just
like
an
infinite
loop.
We're
committed
to
using
100%
renewable
energy
at
this
project
nobody's
done
that
on
this
scale.
We'll
do
that
by
generating
most
of
that
renewable
energy
on-site
with
our
fuel
cell
plants
and
our
rooftop
photovoltaic
plants
with
the
drought,
tolerant
landscape,
we
will
dramatically
reduce
the
water
consumption
on
this
site
and
we
also
plan
to
use
recycled
water
from
a
new
line,
that's
being
constructed
just
to
the
north
of
the
site
by
the
Santa
Clara
Valley,
Water
District
and,
as
I
mentioned,
we'll
reuse.
D
So
here
we
are.
Let
me
give
you
a
quick
update
on
the
the
where
we
are
in
the
planning
process
today
represents
a
huge
milestone
for
Apple
Campus
to
and
me
and
the
opportunity
for
the
city
to
conclude
its
environmental
review
of
the
project
and
in
two
weeks
from
tonight
on
October
15th.
We
look
forward
to
the
council
approving
our
project
and
then
beginning
construction.
Very
shortly
thereafter,
we
think
to
construct
this
beautiful
building
it'll
take
about
32
months
of
creating
an
opportunity
to
start
occupying
the
building
in
2016,
and
we're
very
excited
about
that.
D
This
this
little
chart
shows
the
over
2500
heartfelt
positive
responses
that
we've
gotten
from
the
community
thus
far
and
as
you
can
see,
they
spread
over
every
corner
of
Cupertino
and
into
the
neighboring
communities
of
Sunnyvale
and
Santa
Clara
and
reading.
These
responses
is
just
a
wonderful
thing
to
have
done
so
I
just
like
to
take
a
moment
and
see
if
any
of
these
people
are
here.
So
if
you
came
here
in
support
of
the
project
tonight,
would
you
do
me
the
favor
and
please
stand
up.
D
So
in
closing,
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
we
are
certain
that
Apple
Campus
2
represents
the
the
kind
of
21st
century
work
environment
that
is
inspirational.
It
will
create
a
workplace
that
allows
our
employees
to
to
to
work,
to
create
to
collaborate
and
continue
to
change
people's
lives
by
making
the
great
products
that
we
do,
and
we
really
look
forward
to
moving
forward
with
with
the
project
starting
construction
and
I
can
envision
in
2016
when
we're
when
we
do
the
ribbon.
