General Project Description Consistent with the initial t9g2 Planned Unit Development (PUD), and the subsequent PUD amendments in zoos and zoo9, the following PUD amendment proposes to add a parking ramp on the existing Woodridge Campus to facilitate St Jude's growth. In addition to the proposed 3level parking ramp thatwill replace an existing surface parking lot, a dedicated service drive is being proposed to separate employee traffic From service vehicles. Campus Master Ptan The Stlude Medical Woodridge Campus was first established in t99z and included a 65,000 square foot office, laboratory, and manufacturingbuildingwith associated parl<ingon a zµ.7-acre campus. The campuswas planned at thattimethrough a PUD process thatanticipated future phasesto accommodate St. Jude's growing business. In zoos, an 86,000 square foot office building with associated surface parking was added, with provisions for additional9o,o0o square foot office building expansion. In zoo9, associated parking areas were added to accommodate St Jude Medical's continued growth. Stlude has continued to grow since t99z and is in need of more parking space to accommodate existing uses and provide for potential future uses. The existing z6.8-acre campus has a total of t46,oo0 occupiable square Feetof building (unchanged bythis PUD Amendment) and associated surface parking. As par[ofthis PUD application the campus is now being planned to accommodate 850 parking spaces through existing surface parking lots and the proposed three level ramp, of which there are two structured levels. The Campus is envisioned as a quality worl<environmentthat expresses the Corporation's commitment to its employees, its customers, and the community. The parking structure will tie into the campus' common palate of brick, glass, wood and metal panels, and pre[ast concrete, with an emphasis placed on quality landscaping and the preservation of the natural features on the site such as wetlands, woods, and green space. The campus is planned to remain naturally landscaped with features such as ponds and woods to occupy the majority of the land. St hide's stewardship of the site's natural features is a significant departure from typical office developments and illustrates St hide's commitment to sustainable development and positive community image.
