WHEREAS, at the January 17, 2017, public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the Redwood City General Plan EIR (Clearinghouse #2010052034), staff reports, oral and written, and testimony and materials presented by all those wishing to be heard on this Project at the noticed public hearing on this matter; and WHEREAS, at the January 17, 2017, public hearing, the Planning Commission considered and accepted the recommendation of the AAC regarding the Project's proposed architecture; and WHEREAS, the City Council of Redwood City adopted by resolution a comprehensive update of the Redwood City General Plan on October 11, 2010. The New General Plan for Redwood City designates the property with Mixed Use Neighborhood land use category. The Mixed Use Neighborhood Development Standards limit single use residential density to 40 dwelling units per acre and maximum height to 3 stories. The project would provide 32.6 dwelling units per acre, less than the maximum residential density. The project would create a three story, 37 feet 1 % inch high building, which does not exceed the height limit. Therefore, the project is consistent with the Mixed Use neighborhood land use designation and General Plan for Redwood City in terms of density and intensity; and WHEREAS, the Project does not require further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. These sections describe exemptions from additional environmental review projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project -specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed Condominium Permit, Tentative Map and Planned Development Permit would further the purposes of and appropriately implement the City of Redwood City General Plan, and applicable provisions of the Redwood City Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Planning Commission, having independently heard, considered and weighed all the evidence in the record, including evidence presented by City staff, the Applicant, and members of the public, and being fully informed of the Project, finds ATfY/RESO.0002/PC RESO 910 WOODSIDE REV: 01-11-17 PR Page 2 of 20
