ATTACNMENT G July 11, 2019 Dear members of the Ordinance Committee, I am writing for the Cambridge Residents Alliance to oppose App. 2019 No. 38 filed by Alexandria Real Estate. Alexandria is asking the city to allow a large "bio building" in exchange for giving the city a small strip of land for the Grand Junction Pathway. These community benefits are too small to justify this huge upzoning, which would hugely increase the return on investment for Alexandria. We strongly support the Grand Junction Pathway. However, we feel creating the pathway should not be exchanged for granting Alexandria permission to build an oversized building near residents' homes. The decision on the building should be independent of the pathway. The city can and will find other means to execute the pathway, including the $10 million it has already appropriated. The Residents Alliance appreciates that Alexandria has negotiated with residents and has reduced the height of the building to 115' with mechanicals, but Alexandria's revised petition still proposes a huge increase in GFA compared to the current zoning for a commercial building. I attended the last meeting of the Planning Board, where most members said they could not support this petition, and the Chair said it was "contract zoning"... and said the "practice of site- specific zoning is objectionable." The head of CDD said perhaps the petition did not match the goals of Envision for more housing. The current zoning is intended to provide a transition to the residential neighborhood, as supported in the Envision plan: "create an intermediate sense of scale between adjacent activities." The proposed building is out of character with the neighborhood. Buildings north of Binney St. should be lower than buildings south of Binney; currently there is no building as high as the proposed building in the transition zone north of Binney St. We oppose any proposal that increases the current zoning to allow a taller office building with more density on the corner of Fulkerson and Binney Streets. Granting Alexandria's petition would create a bad precedent for allowing other large buildings to border residential neighborhoods across the city, and specifically, could set a bad precedent for the parcel on which the parking garage on Binney St. currently sits. The Cambridge Residents Alliance wants to see more housing in Kendall Sq. to accommodate the thousands of jobs being added there. More housing is one of the top Envision plan priorities: "increase overall housing production." The Planning Board Vice Chair said he would support this proposal if it were housing, and the Chair proposed the Planning Board should ask for more housing when upzoning is requested. This parcel is already zoned to have greater density and height for housing. We would strongly support an appropriate residential building in this location. In addition, a residential building would have smaller and quieter mechanicals, and would create less traffic, and therefore would impact residents less. We also are concerned about the traffic generated by the 1000 new jobs in the proposed new building and the additional demand for housing from those workers. While Alexandria has said they "are not housing developers," in fact they have built housing when required as part of a PUD project. We ask that the Council deny this commercial upzoning, and instead encourage Alexandria to build housing. We oppose any upzoning petition that increases energy demand in East Cambridge until the city and Eversource find an acceptable alternate site for the proposed Fulkerson St. substation. At the Council hearing on Eversource, I heard Eversource say that they are not including the proposed new development in eastern Cambridge, including the Alexandria proposal, in their estimate of the additional electrical power needed. That is why we ask that the Planning Board and Council not approve any more commercial upzonings until this issue is resolved We note that the proposed open space between a dense bio-building and an electrical sub-station is not useful to the public. Lastly, we request that the Ordinance Committee ask the petitioner to preserve all trees on the site. We respectfully request that you vote against granting Alexandria's petition. If the Council at some point approves Alexandria's petition, we ask that it mandate that Alexandria complete construction of the Grand Junction Path segment before being granted a certificate of occupancy. That is the only way to ensure that Alexandria delivers the pathway faster than the city could complete it.

We also ask that if it were to approve the petition, the Council require Alexandria to file a deed restriction to keep the One Kendall Sq. Garage at its current height, as a condition of approval.

Cambridge City Council City Hall 795 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA 02139 July 11, 2019 RE: Alexandria Upzoning Petition (App 2019 No. 38) Dear Councillors, I write about Alexandria's proposed upzoning petition for the former Metropolitan Pipe Site, including its email to the Council on July 10. Alexandria's latest proposal, as described in its email and at the working group, is of tolerable height and contains many neighborhood benefits that will help mitigate the impact from this project. The neighborhood members of the working group have tentatively agreed to the proposed height. But contrary to what Alexandria suggested in its email, the neighborhood has not agreed to this petition and does not support the project in its current form. I request that the Ordinance Committee keep this proposal in committee for at least four reasons. 1. The proposed building will worsen the need for the Eversource substation on Fulkerson Street The Council has consistently held that the current proposed location for the Eversource substation on Fulkerson Street is inappropriate. And rightfully so: The station would abut the . Kennedy-Longfellow school on one side and two residential neighborhoods on others. The prospect of the substation became even worse on June 25 when Eversource presented a preliminary concept for the station at a hearing of the Transportation & Public Utilities Committee:

Figure 1 Preliminary Design of Eversource Substation (From Eversource June 25 Presentation to T&PU Committee) 0 O PRELIMINARY CONCEPT ONLY Eversource has not said what the height of the station will be but presented examples at the hearing that ranged from 80-110 feet. It also said that the substation on Fulkerson would be larger, potentially double the size of the examples provided. It is therefore possible that this station will be much higher. Eversource has said that the substation is needed because of the current and planned development in Kendall Square, nearly all of which is commercial or MIT lab space, including" : the many lab buildings Alexandria already operates. The need for the substation does not account for the major proposed upzonings in the area (CambridgeSide, the Courthouse, the Constellation site, and Alexandria), and does not account for buildings already in construction or many others that are likely to come. If approved, Alexandria's building will unquestionably draw power from the substation. And it could force Eversource to make the substation even bigger. Knowing that any commercial upzoning will increase the impact of the substation, the City can no longer ignore this problem. If the Council approves this petition, it's not approving just one building. It's two: 2

Figure 2 Alexandria and Eversource Sites! (Adapted from slide provided by Alexandria) 402' 287 • FLOORS IA-1 If the Council is unwilling to accept both together, it cannot approve either separately. They are a package deal. The developers who have benefited from the development should be responsible for the costin this case the substation needed to power their buildings. Without the Council's efforts, we risk the opposite result: by forcing a substation within feet of a school, park, and several nearby houses, East Cambridge residents will bear the cost for a substation they do not want or need. It comes down to this: The Council cannot oppose the Eversource substation while approving the upzoning that makes it necessary. Cause and effect should be treated alike. The developers who have benefited so much from Kendall's development should now be responsible for the cost of that development. In other words, no commercial upzoning proposal-including this one- should be approved until developers solve the problem they caused. II. The petition should include housing Alexandria claims that this building will bring in 1,000 new permanent jobs, almost all of which will go to non-Cambridge residents. This will increase the demand for housing and cause many of those who cannot find affordable housing to drive and worsen the already crowded streets on ' This image assumes that the substation will extend to the XO Communications building directly across from the Kennedy-Longfellow school. If Eversource does not own that land, the substation will be somewhat narrower (and likely higher). 3

Cardinal Medeiros, Binney, and Fulkerson. Nothing in Alexandria's petition addresses this and the other costs from such a sizeable upzoning. The current proposal is exclusively for lab space and provides 0 feet for housing, affordable or not. Indeed, the City upzoned the Met. Pipe site about 20 years ago to give an incentive for housing, and that zoning would allow hundreds of thousands of feet for desperately needed residences. If the City approves an upzoning for lab space instead, it will undo that housing incentive and forever abandon the housing potential. The Planning Board, when considering CambridgeSide's upzoning request over the last several months, expressed significant concerns about the amount of proposed housing, which at the time was about 125,000 sf, 50% of which would be affordable. From a housing perspective, Alexandria's petition is far worse. The best Alexandria can say is that it will pay $6.6 million under a mandatory zoning incentive fee. It is unclear how much affordable housing this fee can fund or when, but it is unlikely to be much. To compound the problem, to get the density it wants for its laboratory building, it is taking residential density from the C-1 portion of the site and converting it to industrial: Figure 3 Residential zoning used for industrial building (Adapted from slide provided by Alexandria) IA-1 C-1 60,839 SF (housing) 130,697 SF TOTAL SITE AREA 191,530 SF Alexandria is doing so at the 1.25 FAR that the City set to encourage housing on this site - not the standard 0.75 FAR that is generally applicable in C-1 zoned land. This is a terrible precedent. At a minimum, Alexandria should not be permitted to misuse residential density. Preferably, the Council would go further and require Alexandria to include housing on this site. This is the last large area in Kendall that could support housing, and the site is an ideal location, as it is near public transportation and jobs. Alexandria has provided no reason why its development shouldn't have housing, other than to say they're not housing developers. That's not a good reason. 4

III. Alexandria should complete the Grand Junction Pathway segment before receiving a certificate of occupancy Alexandria has staked its petition on providing the land it intends to deed for the Grand Junction pathway segment between Cambridge and Binney Streets. This is not the benefit Alexandria makes it seem. The City had already appropriated $10 million for this part of the pathway and was committed to completing it. The real benefit then would be for Alexandria to complete the pathway faster. It won't: The petition requires only that Alexandria convey the required land "no later than the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the first building constructed on he Development Land .... (Section 20.1011). The occupancy certiticate won't be issued for years, and the proposed ordinance doesn't even require that Alexandria build the pathway— which would likely take several years after the deed is conveyed. This is no better than what the City was already pursuing. To provide an actual benefit, the petition should require Alexandria to pay for the completion of the pathway and for it to be completed before issuing a Certificate of Occupancy. IV. The windfall Alexandria will receive from this project will more than pay for these requested changes We have repeatedly asked Alexandria why they need an upzoning so much larger than the other nearby buildings in the transition area. They have acknowledged that (i) there is no special purpose to this project that needs the additional height or density, (ii) their project would be profitable under current zoning, and (iii) the height is not needed to fund some other portion of the project (unlike CambridgeSide, for example). Instead, Alexandria-a company worth $18.4 billionclaims it needs the upzoning to "justify" the proposed community benefits, which they value at about $10-$20 million—a cost of roughly $42-$84 per square foot of upzoned space (237,000 sf).? Even if 14' of land along a railroad track and an abandoned hair salon really were worth $10-$20 million (which we doubt), this pales in comparison to the windfall Alexandria would reap from its petition. As part of the CambridgeSide Galleria's recent upzoning petition, Dr. Rafi Mohammed submitted comments on how the City should consider the economic gross upside a developer receives from an upzoning petition in this area.? Based on recent building sales, he determined that the approximate gross value of upzoning at the CambridgeSide site was about $1,342 per square foot.4 As high as this figure is, it's likely conservative: In May 2019, MIT announced that it has sold three buildings on the Osborne Triangle in Kendall Square for $1.1 2 Alexandria has sometimes included its offer to buy the Eversource land for Eversource's purchase price, should the substation be relocated, in its community benefit figures. That offer is currently speculative and not included in the petition, so it cannot be considered as part of the benefit Alexandria is providing in this petition. See Dr. Rafi Mohammed, "Don't fall into trap of bargaining downward on the giant CambridgeSide mall rezoning," Cambridge Day (last revised on May 25, 2019), available at http://www.cambridgeday.com/2019/05/24/dont-fall-into-trap-of-bargaining-downward-on-the-giant- cambridgeside-mall-rezoning/. As Dr. Mohammed also acknowledged, these figures don't account for the developer's costs and certain risks. Alexandria has not disclosed these costs (and likely won't), but we remain open to adjusting our analysis based on verifiable information Alexandria provides. 5

billion for a 90% share in the buildings, about $1,800 per square foot. Indeed, Alexandria sold 60% of 75/125 Binney Street in February 2019 for $438 million-$1,880/sf. Applying Dr. lohammed's and the more recent Osborne Triangle rates to the square footage at issue lexandria would receive a building worth about $220 million - $290 million under currer zoning based on its slides. And Alexandria's much larger proposed building under the petition would be worth $540 million - $720 million: Figure 4 Gross Zoning Values Petition Value Baseline Upzoned value Current Zoning Value (163,000 sf) (400,000 st) (+237,000 st) Dr. Mohammed $318,054,000 $536,800,000 $218,746,000 Average ($1,342/sf) Osborne Triangle $720,000,000 $293,400,000 $426,600,000 ($1,800/st) In exchange for its claimed $10-$20 million in community benefits, it would receive about $318 million - $427 million in gross upzoned value. With this margin, there is no need for Alexandria to pull from residential density, it can include housing in its project, and it can timely complete construction of the pathway. Most important, it would have considerable capital to buy an alternate site for the Eversource substation. The Council should compel it do so. For these reasons, I respectfully ask that the Ordinance Committee vote to hold the petition in committee until these important issues can be addressed. Thank you for your consideration.

Based on a 90% interest, the valuation is $1,800/sf ($1.1 bn / 679,000 sf / 90%). It's also unclear how the article accounts for the parking spaces in its calculations and the purchase price may not include land in the sale, so these numbers may need to be further revised based on more information. • Alexandria SEC Form 10-Q for the period ending Mar. 31, 2019, at 66, available at http://www.snl.com/Cache/c397733927.html. 6

I think the neighbors who will be at the meeting speak for most of the community, so I won't repeat their concerns. One minor point l'd add is that there is a block of open space in the proposal. I think putting a park there or similar would be a nice addition, with no costs / downsides to ARE, and lots of upsides to the community. Piotr

ATTACHMENT M Planning Board City of Cambridge City Hall Annex 344 Broadway Cambridge, MA 02139 July 11, 2019 Regarding Grand Junction Members of the Cambridge Planning Board, I am writing in support of the Zoning petition filed by Alexandria Properties, which is designed to create the Grand Junction Pathway Overlay District. The petition seeks to enable an exchange of development rights for conveyance of land for the completion of a section of the Grand Junction Multi-use pathway, an important route in and out of Kendall Square that I previously supported in my role on the Volpe Working Group. While the discussion of a proposed multiuse pathway has been ongoing for many years, there continue to be many hurdles, and the City seems unlikely to independently proceed with the significant cost and logistical planning required to make this path a reality on it's own any time soon. Development of this infrastructure is critical to the Volpe site's permeability and access by surrounding neighborhoods, as well as mitigating the expected increases in daytime traffic to and from the Kendall Square area as it continues to develop. Any development has impacts upon the surrounding community; therefore the collection of revenues by the city for Alexandria's proposed build, transferring approximately 6 million dollars! in needed funds to the Cambridge Affordable Housing Trust, should not be ignored for it's contribution to replenishing the city's stock of badly needed affordable housing. I'd previously hedged some level of support based upon my neighbors at Linden Court who have voiced concern about the impact of the proposed development on light, noise, and additional traffic, and understand they have arrived at an agreement on size that has significantly reduced the overall height and massing. I know that the process is not yet complete, and there will be a number of other opportunities during design phase of the project to mitigate noise and additional concerns. However, I want to urge both the Council and Alexandria to ensure that the design and construction of the multiuse path begin at permitting and avoid the additional delays that will occur if the timing of this project is not included as a contiguous component of the re-development. The Cambridge CDD data shows that within a half-mile of the Grand Junction corridor are 42% (49,000) of the jobs and 31% (33,000) of the residents in Cambridge. All residents of Cambridge need safe routes for walking and other non-vehicular mobility to safely travel to work, school and play. An expeditious resolution to the permitting and completion of this pathway will go a long way toward what Cambridge citizens want and need in this regard.

Massachusetts is home to one of the largest biopharma clusters in the world, with Cambridge housing the largest percentage of these companies. The biopharma industry in Massachusetts directly employs over 74,000 people, representing one-year growth of 6% and 35% growth in the past ten years. Maintaining our growth and status as a global leader in this industry requires near constant addition of space for new and expanding companies, and of upmost importance to our industry, the creation of additional lab space for these companies. Cambridge specifically is home to the largest percentage of biopharma companies in the state, with hundreds of companies across all stages. Cambridge-based companies received 62% of all biotech venture capital investment in Massachusetts in 2017, and half of all Massachusetts-based biopharma companies with IPOs in 2017 were headquartered in Cambridge as well. Cambridge and its companies are leading the way in creating new treatments and therapies to help patients around the world, and in order to do so continue to need additional lab space, which is why MassBio supports the development of 325 Binney Street into lab facilities. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards, Rk loughlin, Robert K. Coughlin President and CEO

City of Cambridge ATTACHMENTO Ordinance Committee 795 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 02139 July 11, 2019 Regarding Grand Junction Members of the Cambridge Ordinance Committee, 1am writing in support of the zoning petition filed by Alexandria Properties, which is designed to create the Grand Junction Pathway Overlay District. Soon after moving to Cambridge in the fall of 2005, I was riding my bicycle home from school when I was hit by a car, flew over the hood of the vehicle, and broke my arm when I landed on the other side. The accident occurred as I was riding my bike northbound on Cardinal Medeiros Ave. I was hit when the driver of a car on Binney Street didn't see me in the midst of other vehicular traffic, rolled through a stop sign and entered the intersection. If a well-marked alternative path for pedestrians and cyclists had existed, I am certain I would have been on it and that I would not have been hit. The Grand Junction Pathway Overlay District would create such a nearby, parallel pathway. While the discussion of a proposed multiuse pathway has been ongoing for decades, there continue to be many hurdles, and the City seems unlikely to independently proceed with the significant cost and logistical planning required to make this path a reality on it's own any time soon. The Zoning petition filed by Alexandria Properties would help make this pathway a reality now in the near term. Fourteen years after my accident, I am now raising two young children in the Wellington Harrington neighborhood and I would like to see this pathway built as soon as possible so that my children do not have to take the same risks that I did while biking or walking between our neighborhood and Kendall Square. The Cambridge CDD data shows that within a half-mile of the Grand Junction corridor are 42% (49,000) of the jobs and 31% (33,000) of the residents in Cambridge. Personal experience tells me that Cardinal Medeiros Ave is a particularly dangerous street for cyclists due to its lack of bike lanes, high traffic congestion, high traffic speeds, and a large number of commercial trucks entering and exiting One Kendall Square just south of Binney St. All residents of Cambridge need safe routes for biking, walking and other non-vehicular mobility to safely travel to work, school and play, particularly in such a congested area that currently lacks any safe alternative for non-vehicular traffic. An expeditious resolution to the permitting and completion of this pathway will go a long way toward what Cambridge citizens want and need in this regard. sincerely, Phil Mckenna 135 Willow St. Apt 3 Cambridge, MA 02141
