Denise Simmons City Councilor Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler City Councilor Timothy J. Toomey, Jr. City Councilor Quinton Y. Zondervan Cambridge City Hall 795 Massachusetts Ave., 2nd Floor Cambridge, MA 02139 Re: Withdrawal and Re-Submission of Zoning Amendment Petition Dear Mayor Siddiqui, Vice Mayor Mallon, Ordinance Committee Co-Chair Carlone, Ordinance Committee Co-Chair McGovern, and Councilors Nolan, Simmons, Sobrinho-Wheeler, Toomey, and Zondervan: On behalf of BMR-Third LLC, a subsidiary of BioMed Realty, L.P., we are pleased to re- submit for your review the enclosed rezoning petition for a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and the Zoning Map of the City of Cambridge, which, upon adoption, would result in a new Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) District CDK. As you know, on March 11, 2020 we submitted the enclosed rezoning petition to City Clerk, and the City Council referred the rezoning petition to the Planning Board and the Ordinance Committee at the March 16, 2020 City Council meeting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Planning Board cancelled its meetings for the months of April, May and early June, and has since re-commenced remote meetings on June 16, 2020. Accordingly, we are simultaneously withdrawing the March 11, 2020 PUD-CDK rezoning petition and re-submitting the enclosed rezoning petition. The enclosed rezoning petition is exactly the same as the March 11, 2020 petition other than any revised dates or references to this re-submission, as the case may be. As you know, we have worked closely with the City to see to the stewardship of what is now branded as Canal District Kendall (formerly Kendall Square and Cambridge Research Park) since completing the acquisition of the former Lyme Properties portfolio in 2007. Specific stewardship projects include ongoing improvements to the public realm (including renovation of the plaza abutting the Broad Canal, the introduction of public art, improvements to the ice

EAST\175206705.1 skating rink and boat launch, a commitment to local retail, and the on-going redevelopment and dedication of Termeer Square) and the development of 450 Kendall Street. We now come to you with what we hope is the final step in finishing what Lyme Properties started in 1999 by realizing on the longstanding goal of having a significant arts and culture facility in the neighborhood. At the same time, we hope to replace the Eversource gas facility located along Third Street to make way for an iconic architectural building that enhances the public realm and the connections among surrounding open spaces. As you will see in the enclosed proposed Zoning Map amendment, the new overlay district covers the portion of the Canal District Kendall that was originally developed as Kendall Square plus the Eversource site (referred to here as the gas transfer station site, or “GTS Site,” for ease of reference). A. Background. We submit this petition after soliciting extensive public feedback through community open houses, surveys, deeply engaging with the arts community, and other means to determine what type of arts and culture facility the City wants to see at 585 Third Street, the former Constellation Center site (also known as “Parcel C”). As you know, Constellation acquired the site in 2002 and spent over 15 years trying to raise the capital for a theater complex at the location. In the interim, the rest of the area within the proposed PUD- CDK has been improved to now include approximately 757,970 square feet of office and laboratory space, 75,500 square feet of retail and restaurant uses, and 465 residential units. Unfortunately, a standalone theater proved not to be economically viable on Parcel C. We acquired Parcel C in 2018, and have subsequently entered into an option agreement with Eversource that creates the possibility of combining Parcel C with the abutting GTS Site. The finite duration of the option agreement and the unique ability to relocate the GTS in coordination with a development spanning both parcels makes this a one-in-a-generation opportunity. We continue to work diligently on establishing a new location for the GTS facility, and are nearer than ever to achieving our goal, but have not yet completed that effort. We and our affiliates are the owners of abutting first class laboratory facilities that serve as key locations for companies like Takeda, Alnylam, and Eli Lilly; the success of development on Parcel C was and is highly important to us and our shareholders. As majority owners in the association that manages the public realm of the Canal District Kendall, the public realm is also essential to us and to our tenants – both biotech and retailers alike. We are convinced that we can make a significant impact with an arts and culture facility in a way that fits into the neighborhood, is attractive to a diverse set of Cambridge residents and visitors, enhances the public realm, is economically viable, and otherwise furthers the development goals of the community, while being within the guidelines of our mission as a real estate investment company focusing on high quality life sciences space. B. Summary of Petition. Our zoning petition memorializes the previously approved and constructed density at each site within the proposed PUD-CDK, and allows for additional development on Parcel C and the GTS Site to achieve the project concept described below. The proposed amendment permits a mixed use development project that is a new building containing an arts, culture, and public space component that complements the existing 465 apartments and commercial space, and, as noted above, creates incentives for incorporating the GTS Site by allowing for greater bulk and height, and public realm amenities, if the GTS Site is included. The height and floor area, under a scenario where the GTS facility is removed from Third Street,

EAST\175206705.1 would be 250 feet and up to 550,000 gross square feet, respectively. The proposed amendment does not grant further development potential to the existing buildings constructed within PUD- CDK. C. Project Concept. Since acquiring Parcel C, we have worked tirelessly with our consultant team to unlock the full potential of the site. The renderings enclosed show the fruits of our labor. To accommodate the building and concepts shown, the proposed PUD-CDK allows us to combine Parcel C with the GTS Site and construct mixed use laboratory and office above approximately 40,000 square feet of arts, culture, and public space, all in a striking 21st-century building consistent with existing and other proposed building heights in the vicinity. This building will significantly enhance the open spaces surrounding it, and will help strengthen the pedestrian corridor that ties together Termeer Square to the north, the Broad Canal and Broad Canal Way retail to the south, and the future Volpe Center project to the west (across Third Street). All of this can be done in a manner that meets the sustainability practices of modern construction and caters to a community as economically and culturally diverse as Cambridge. Compare the renderings of our proposed project to the existing condition, also shown in the enclosed renderings. Parcel C is the “missing tooth” in the Canal District Kendall, and the location of the GTS Site (the last remnant of an industrial zone on Third Street) exacerbates the problem from an urban planning perspective. We believe that the project facilitated by the enclosed rezoning is a massive improvement, and a welcome addition, to the Cambridge pedestrian environment. We note that we have every intention of including the GTS Site in our proposed project. Although the ability to move the GTS facilities is not entirely within our control, we have been working continuously with Eversource and others to reach agreements that are necessary for the exercise of our option to acquire the GTS Site and move its facilities to a non-residential location. However, some details remain to be worked out and, out of an abundance of caution, we have drafted the petition allowing for the possibility that the project might not include the GTS Site by providing for a more limited scope of improvements utilizing only Parcel C to advance the vision of a community arts facility on the ground floor of a mixed use building. While not our preference because its impact would be less transformative and enriching for the neighborhood, we believe it is a viable alternative project. D. Benefits. Our preferred proposed project, utilizing the GTS Site, will result in many benefits for the East Cambridge community, and the community close to PUD-CKD in particular. Those benefits, many of which will be memorialized in a commitment letter to be submitted to City Council, have an approximate value of at least Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000), and include the following:  A commitment to use reasonable efforts to relocate the existing utility facilities from the GTS Site to a non-residential location.  An arts and culture component of 30,000 square feet, inclusive of a 250-300 seat state-of-the-art theater, if the GTS Site is included (and, in any event, arts and culture space of at least 15,000 square feet).  10,000 square feet of indoor all-season public space.

Practical measures to support a diverse, inclusive, and sustainable operatine model for the arts and culture component. No new parking. Use of best practices for meeting sustainability goals in areas such as energ). emissions, water, materials, urban site reuse, and landscaping. No new gas connection. Our proposal is the end result of many community meetings and public presentations with neighbors, neighborhood stakeholders, and with stakeholders at City Hall, including three open houses, multiple meetings with an Arts Advisory Committee comprised of community arts advocates, a public survey, and solicitations for public comment on presentation boards that we displayed at our open houses. Key takeaways from the public process included a focus on the need for flexible performing arts spaces for small and larger productions, community arts spaces (such as classrooms for leaming art and exhibit space), public gathering spaces available across all four seasons, and relocating the GTS facility away from Third Street. Our proposed zoning overlay text and map encourages achievement of these goals, with the publicly accessible facilities within and commanding the lower levels of a unique and beautiful commercial building that will provide over an acre of new landscaped area (indoors and outdoors), subject to further detailed review by the Planning Board under the contemplated special permit process. We are excited to work with you in the formal review process for the zoning amendment and again upon submission of an application for a PUD-CDK special permit. We are committed to East Cambridge and to doing all that we can to make Canal District Kendall a shining example of the best of mixed-use transit-oriented development for the 21st century.

1 The owner of land to be affected by this petition hereby petitions the City Council of the City of Cambridge to amend the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance and the Cambridge Zoning Map, both as most recently amended, as follows: Add a new Section 13.200 to Article 13.000 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cambridge as set forth in the attached document. Amend the Zoning Map of the City of Cambridge to add a new PUD-CDK District overlaying that certain area (which includes parcels and portions of private ways) labeled as “PUD-CDK” on the attached map entitled “PUD-CDK Plan”.

2 13.200 Planned Unit Development at Canal District Kendall 13.201 Purpose. The PUD-CDK District is intended to provide for a mixed-use district that is comprised of high quality general and technical office and labs with diverse active commercial and community uses (including retail and restaurant uses, and arts and cultural uses), all of which promote, create corridors among, and enhance the existing open space network within and surrounding the district, and provide benefits to the surrounding community through community arts and publicly accessible interior gathering space. In particular, the district facilitates strengthening the public open space connections among Termeer Square, the plaza abutting the Broad Canal, the Broad Canal, public recreation pathways leading towards the Charles River, and future open space west of Third Street. The PUD-CDK District creates incentives to (A) incorporate a high-caliber arts and culture facility that will further diversify the mix of uses within the neighborhood, and (B) remove the existing above-grade utility and industrial facilities located at the existing gas transfer station on Third Street to enhance the streetscape experience along Third Street and provide an attractive connector corridor between the district and the East Cambridge neighborhood. The parcel on which the existing gas regulator/transfer station is located is referred to herein as the “Gas Transfer Station Parcel”. 13.202 PUD-CDK Special Permit 13.202.1 Eligible Development Parcel. To further the purpose of this Section 13.200, an applicant may submit a Development Proposal and obtain a special permit from the Planning Board approving a Final Development Plan for a Development Parcel located within the PUD-CDK District that, at the time of application for a PUD-CDK special permit, consists of at least 30,000 square feet in area.
