Ordinance [all section references hereinafter are to said Zoning Ordinance unless otherwise indicated]). 2. The Property is owned by Redwood Shores Properties, Inc., (the "Owners"). 3. The Project consists of the subdivision of a 12.73 acre parcel of real property into two parcels of7.15 acres and 5.58 acres, respectively, with the proposed further subdivision of the Property into fourteen lots for the construction of a 244-unÏt condominium development. 4. The Project developer is HP Homes, 301 Island Parkway, Suite 201, Belmont, Ca 94002 (the "Developer"). 5. The Developer applied for a planned development permit and a related tentative subdivision map (designated PD 10804-4 and TM 10804-4, respectively, by the Planning Director) for the Project. 6. On June 7, 1994, the Redwood City Planning Commission (the "Planning Commission"), after public hearing duly held and noticed, approved the Developer's applications for the planned development permit and tentative subdivision map. 7. Appellants are homeowners' associations representing residents and homeowners of properties located in the vicinity of the Property. Appellants timely filed their respective appeals from the aforesaid approvals of the Planning Commission. 8. The Project is proposed to be situated on land almost entirely surrounded by Redwood Shores Lagoon, with access provided to the Property by a privately-owned extension of Davit Lane. A future park site is located in the vicinity of the Project, adjacent to and southerly of Davit Lane. The Developer proposes to price the condominium units at selling prices within ranges affordable to lower and median income households as defined under maximum affordable sales prices specified in the Redwood City 1994-1999 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy ("CHAS"). 9. The Project conforms to the General Plan ("High Density") and Zoning (R-4 Zoning District) designations for the Property. 10. Appellants contest the Project on the grounds that inadequate vehicular access has been provided to the Property; the density of the Project is excessive; and the location of the proposed park site, juxtaposed with the Project, will constitute a traffic hazard, particularly for children frequenting the park. 11. Vehicular access to the Project will be provided by a 25-foot wide private drive extending from Davit Lane. Interior traffic circulation shall be provided by street "loops" throughout the Project.
