Another Council Member also shared the same comments as the other Council Members <br /> and appreciates that the audience members were there. She too stated that Redwood <br /> City values education. Also, like her colleagues, she opined that this school was not in <br /> the right neighborhood, but encourages them to look for other places. <br /> Mayor Gee concurred with Vice Mayor Foust that this issue is a Land Use matter, and it is <br /> difficult to find land in Redwood City or in the Peninsula, particularly for education. He <br /> asked if this is the right use for an existing neighborhood, and concluded that this is not <br /> the right use. He said that he is in agreement with the Planning Commission's decision. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> 1. Hold a public hearing. <br /> 2.
