<br />ATTY/RESO.3157/601 Marshall Appeal 8-Story Project <br />REV: 11/10/15 VR <br />Page 7 of 22 <br />b. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the project and <br />improvements proposed by Downtown Planned Community Permit <br />No. DPC2014-05 will not, under the circumstances of this particular <br />case, be detrimental to the health, safety peace, morals, or general <br />welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the <br />project, or be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements <br />in the neighborhood of the project, or to the general welfare of the <br />City, because the project has been found to be consistent with the <br />community goals established in the City's General Plan and Zoning <br />Ordinance; <br /> <br />c. The Project and improvements comply fully with all applicable <br />standards of the DTPP; <br /> <br />d. The Eight-Story Proposal and improvements comply with all but <br />one guideline of the DTPP pertaining to the Courtyard building <br />disposition type. The aspects of the Project which do not conform to <br />the guidelines of the DTPP nonetheless adequately promote the <br />overall intent of the DTPP; and <br /> <br />e. The project and improvements proposed by Downtown Planned <br />Community Permit Application No. DPC2014-05 will impact the <br />historic resources located at 611 Middlefield, 620 Jefferson and <br />2200 Broadway (historic San Mateo County Courthouse), but such <br />impact does not rise to the threshold of being a substantial adverse <br />change to the significance of the historic resources, and all three <br />historic resources will retain their eligibility for listing on the <br />California Register of Historic Places. <br /> <br />Section 5. Parking In-Lieu Fee Application: In the exercise of its <br />independent judgment, the City Council finds that: <br /> <br />a. The Project site is in close proximity to multiple public transit <br />facilities, including without limitation the CalTrain Station and the <br />Redwood City Transit Center, both of which are less than a quarter- <br />mile away. <br /> <br />b. Encouraging users of the Project site to walk from off-site parking <br />or public transportation would be beneficial to the Downtown. <br /> <br />c. The implementation of the required Transportation Demand <br />Management (TDM) Plan will reduce single-user automobile trips <br />by the Project’s tenants/employees. <br /> <br />7.C. - Page 19
