9.B - Page 9 <br /> The preferred project within the Draft EIR would not include residential uses in the land <br /> use area proposed as Water Dependent-1 (WD-1). This area currently contains the <br /> Docktown Marina. Restricting residential uses within WD-1 is consistent with State <br /> Lands Commission policies that residential uses are in conflict with State law and the <br /> City's granting statute. This position was confirmed in a letter the City received from the <br /> Attorney's General's Office in response to the release of the Draft Inner Harbor Plan. <br /> The Draft EIR does, however, include the Maximum Floating Community Alternative <br /> (Draft EIR, Section 5.5.4 Alternative SP-3). This alternative includes expanded areas for <br /> Floating Community uses. The Floating Community use would be a "conditional use" <br /> within Redwood Creek, where Docktown Marina currently exists. <br /> Staff believes that neither the recent settlement agreement, nor any change in state law, <br /> or State Lands Commission policies, would affect the Draft IHSP or Draft EIR in a way <br /> that would require significant revisions or recirculation. Because residential uses were <br /> analyzed in the Maximum Floating Community Alternative, the City can rely upon the <br /> proposed land use policies and environmental analysis in the Draft IHSP and Draft EIR <br /> in a manner that could accommodate a variety of uses along Redwood Creek, should <br /> any of those uses be formally adopted by the City Council. As such, the Draft IHSP <br /> could be revised (prior or subsequent to adoption) to recognize future changes to State <br /> law. <br /> San Mateo County Women's Shelter <br /> San Mateo County has notified the City that it intends to retain the existing LifeMoves <br /> (formally InnVision Shelter Network) Maple Street Shelter, including the facilities of the <br /> former women's jail, and make capital investments to improve the facilities and extend <br /> its useful life. <br /> As a result, this area, owned by San Mateo County, would be designated as a Public <br /> Facility land use within the Inner Harbor Specific Plan. The Redwood City Police Station <br /> and newly constructed San Mateo County Women's Jail would also have the Public <br /> Facilities land use designation. <br /> Additional Issues for Council Consideration <br /> Harbor View Place <br /> The HVP project as proposed does not conform to the Draft IHSP, Inner Harbor-2 <br /> standards. As described in Table 1 below, the HVP project exceeds proposed standards <br /> for maximum floor area and height. In addition, the Harbor View site area extends <br /> beyond the proposed IHSP area. <br /> Table 1: Inner Harbor- 2 Land Use Area Comparison with Harbor View Place Project <br />
