7.B. - Page 142 an approximately 46.45-acre site consisting of two noncontiguous sites: Pete's Harbor and the Peninsula Marina. The MSV project included 1,930 housing units, a 200-room hotel, 25,000 square feet of retail, 150,000 square feet of office space on two waterfront sites with marina amenities, and 17 240-foot high towers. In the late spring of 2004, the City certified the EIR and approved the MSV Project, including the MSV Precise Plan. In the fall of 2004, a voter referendum repealed the Zoning Amendment and the associated MSV Precise Plan, which served as the zoning allowances for the MSV project development. The referendum did not affect the EIR certification for the MSV project and precise plan. The referendum cited a wide range of specific concerns about the MSV project. In summary, major issues included building height, density, traffic, public access, and other environmental impacts. In response to the concerns expressed by the voters, the applicant submitted a reduced scale of the MSV project, known as the Peninsula Park Project, which focused only on the Peninsula Marina portion of the MSV project site with a lower density and lower building heights. This reduced project is known as the Peninsula Park Precise Plan, a 33-acre site that includes 796 multi-family residential units, 10,000 square feet of retail space, a 200-room hotel, public park areas, a marina, and canals. As part of its review of the PP Precise Plan, the City prepared an Addendum to the 2003 EIR for the MSV Project (SCH No. 2002022076). Under Section 15164(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, an Addendum is not required to be circulated for public review. However, in the interest of full public disclosure, the City made the Addendum available for public review and comment for a period of 20 calendar days, from October 19 to November 7, 2007. In December 2007, the PP Precise Plan was approved by the City. The PP Precise Plan is available on the City's website (http://www.redwoodcity.org/phed/planning/peninsulapark/pdf/Peninsula Park Final Jan 08.pdf). Please note that the Peninsula Park project was not constructed as envisioned in the PP Precise Plan. The applicants further reduced this project in 2011. The Peninsula Park project, which is now known as the One Marina project, is currently under construction with entitlements for 231 housing units.. Comment No. 1-5 Acknowledged. RESPONSES TO COMMENTS FROM ANDREW RONDEAU (AUGUST 26, 2013) Comment No. 2-1 As noted in the Land Use section (page 2-49 of the Mitigated Negative Declaration), a small homeless population presently occupies the Bair Island side of the space under the US Highway 101 bridge. The City plans to contact this group of approximately six individuals prior to construction and encourage each individual to make use of the City programs for the homeless, which include emergency shelters, transitional housing, 13
