RECREATION — Would the project. • • • ro <br /> a) Result in an increased use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or X <br /> other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of <br /> the facility would occur or be accelerated? <br /> b) Include recreational facilities, or require the construction or expansion of X <br /> recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the <br /> environment? <br /> Documentation: <br /> a. The Downtown area has a variety of open spaces that allow for recreational opportunities. Examples include open <br /> space areas adjacent to the Redwood City Public Library and the City Hall, which provide shade and greenery; <br /> Courthouse Square, which is actively programmed with dancing, ice skating, music, and other events; and Sequoia <br /> High School, which features a seven -acre park and ballfields. All of these recreational facilities are within a ten - <br /> minute walk from the project site. In addition, the developer is required to pay a park in -lieu fee, which will be used <br /> by the City to create new parkland as needs arise over time. Also, the DTPP program EIR (pp. 8 -14 and 8 -15) <br /> concluded that there would be no significant parks and recreation impacts resulting from the DTPP or projects built <br /> under it. The proposed project is in compliance with all applicable DTPP regulations, and as a result, no additional <br /> impacts on recreation are anticipated. <br /> The project would include a private landscaped podium courtyard (15,000 square feet), .fitness center with <br /> yoga room (1,550 sq. ft.), club room with mezzanine (1,200 sq. ft), roof deck (1,150 sq. ft.), and parking <br /> for 41 bicycles. <br /> b. The project would include private recreational facilities (e.g., fitness center) but does not require the construction or <br /> Expansion of public recreational facilities. As a result, the project would not have an adverse physical effect on the <br /> environment related to recreational facilities.

TRANSPORTATION%TRNFFIC -- Would the project <br /> a) Cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic X <br /> load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in <br /> either the number of vehicle trips, the volume -to- capacity ratio on roads, or <br /> congestion at intersections)? <br /> b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard X <br /> established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads <br /> or highways? <br /> c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic X <br /> levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? <br /> d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or X <br /> dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses? <br /> e) Result in inadequate emergency access? X <br /> f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? _ X <br /> g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative X <br /> transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? <br /> 27 <br />
