The project provides bike racks on the widened sidewalks, and bike storage within the building for the residents. The project is within walking distance to the transit center (CalTrain) and sidewalk improvements, such as street trees and pedestrian, support a walkable environment. There is not a bus stop on this block. - Program BE-11: Shade Analysis Downtown. Require all new development and redevelopment within the Mixed Use ‐ Downtown land use designation to complete a shade and shadow study unless and until implementing zoning incorporates mitigation to address impacts as defined below, unless the City’s Zoning Administrator determines, based on the scale and scope of the proposed project and the criteria set forth herein, that no shade and shadow study is necessary. Significant impacts shall be mitigated to the extent feasible. The following impacts will normally be considered significant: o Introduction of landscape that would now or in the future cast substantial shadows on existing solar collectors. o Casting of shadows covering more than 50 percent of Courthouse Square, Theatre Way, City Hall Park, Library Plaza, Hamilton Green, Depot Circle, Little River Park, Redwood Creek, or City Center Plaza at 12:00 P.M. on the Spring Equinox. o Casting of shadows that cause a solar‐sensitive character defining feature (e.g. the stained‐glass dome of the historic San Mateo County Courthouse building) of any historic resource to be more than 50 percent in shadow at 12:00 P.M. on the Spring Equinox. o Casting of shadows from parcels with a higher maximum permitted height onto adjacent parcels with a lower maximum permitted height that cause solar‐sensitive portions of the parcel with the lower maximum permitted height to be more than 50 percent in shadow at 12:00 P.M. on the Spring Equinox. o Casting of shadows from parcels within the Mixed Use ‐Downtown land use designation onto adjacent parcels designated Residential ‐ Low, ‐ Medium, ‐ Medium High, and/or ‐ High that cause solar sensitive portions of such residential parcels (e.g. private and common yards and balconies) to be more than 50 percent in shadow at 12:00 p.m. on the Spring Equinox. The project is located within the DTPP. The DTPP development standards were developed with the specific intent to avoid significant shadow impacts. Full buildout of the DTPP to the maximum building envelopes allowed by the Plan’s standards would not cause any shadow‐sensitive uses and spaces to be more than 50 percent in shadow at noon on the Spring Equinox. The proposed project is in compliance with all applicable DTPP standards regarding shadows. - Program BE-15: Title 24 Lighting Zone. Require all new development and redevelopment within Redwood City to be in compliance with Title 24 Lighting Zone (LZ‐3) requirements. Encourage the use of low mounted, downward casting exterior lighting for all new development in the city, so as to reduce light trespass onto adjacent properties. Further, require new developments to submit lighting and photometric site plans for City review and approval prior to the issuance of individual building permits. 8.A. - Page 66
