Page 1 of 27 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager May 22, 2017 SUBJECT Appeal by 605 Middlefield, LLC, of Planning Commission Resolution No. 17-06 approving a Downtown Planned Community Permit including fifteen guideline deviations, Tentative Map, Condominium Permit, Density Bonus Parking Ratio and Parking Reduction for 612 Jefferson Avenue pursuant to the City of Redwood City's Downtown Precise Plan, Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, and Affordable Housing Impact Fee Ordinance RECOMMENDATION Hold a Public Hearing and Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) Denying the Appeal and Approving the Downtown Planned Community Permit including fifteen guideline deviations, Tentative Map, Condominium Permit, Planned Development Permit, Density Bonus Parking Ratio and Parking Reduction, based on the findings and subject to the conditions of approval contained therein, and upon consideration of the Initial Study Checklist demonstrating compliance with the Downtown Precise Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) as certified on January 24, 2011 BACKGROUND Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco (Applicant) seeks to develop a new residential condominium building at 612 Jefferson Avenue. The project site is a 5,015 square foot vacant lot with 50-feet of frontage on Jefferson Avenue. Historically the lot contained a single-family dwelling, but it has been vacant since the mid-1980s when the residence was demolished. On November 12, 2015, the Applicant submitted an application for a Downtown Planned Community Permit, Tentative Map, Condominium Permit, and Planned Development Permit to develop a 6-story condominium building that would contain 20 affordable residential condominiums on floors 2-6 (the “Project”). This was later supplemented with requests for a Density Bonus Parking Ratio and a Parking Reduction. The residential condominiums consist of five 1-bedroom units, ten 2-bedroom units, and five 3-bedroom units, all of which would be sold only to persons/families that qualify at or below the low- income level of affordability. The Project is within the Downtown Precise Plan Area, and therefore it is subject to the City’s Downtown Precise Plan (DTPP), which was approved by the City in January 2011. 8.A. - Page 1
