<br /> REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS TAKEN 5-24-04 <br /> 1 direction of high rises, this is the way to go. I <br />( 2 don't think San Francisco residents really want a <br /> 3 bayfront that looks like that. <br /> 4 We all recognize this ve r y, very serious <br /> 5 need for housing, bu,t instead of this inappropriate <br /> 6 development on the waterfront, Redwood city has a <br /> 7 terrific alternative in the downtown area plan, <br /> 8 drafted in October 2001. <br /> 9 I was looking at it just today and it's a <br /> 10 great plan that is very well considered and <br /> 11 recommends 2,500 to 3,000 housing units be located <br /> 12 downtown where it belongs, next to - - connected to <br /> 13 services, shopping and connected to the transit <br />( <br /> 14 corridor. <br /> 15 Such development downtown still provides <br /> 16 jobs for union workers, it would provide homes. <br /> 17 The economic benefits of the Marina Shores Village <br /> 18 project could all be realized with the downtown <br /> 19 development. <br /> 20 And so I just, in summary, I request that <br /> 21 the City Council deny the project as proposed and <br /> 22 not change the zoning. And do the development <br /> 23 downtown, where it belongs. <br /> 24 Thank you. <br /> 25 MAYOR IRA: Thank you.
