e. The Project and improvements will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of the potential historic resource at 929 Main Street, the Expanded Historic Main Street District, or the historic resources at 917-921 Main Street, 935 Main Street, and 116 Stambaugh Street; and, the potential historic resource, historic district, and historic resources will remain eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Places. Section 4. Parking In -Lieu Fee Application: The Planning Commission finds that the Parking In -Lieu Fee Application satisfies Section 30.3 of the City's Zoning Ordinance including because: It is infeasible to provide the required parking spaces on-site due to the size, shape, or topography of the site, or other special circumstances pertaining to the property: The existing 6,400 square -foot parcel with parking lot has a total of 14 parking stalls. However, with the addition to the building at 929 Main Street, improvements to the parking lot are required, including compliance with Federal ADA requirements and the installation of an on-site trash enclosure. With the required improvements, only 9 parking spaces could be retained, where 10 parking spaces are required. There is no feasible way to provide the 10 required parking spaces on-site. The proposed project would encourage users of the project site to walk from off-site parking to the project site would be beneficial to the Downtown: The project site is located within a 0.25 -mile radius from the downtown CalTrain Station and Redwood City Transit Center, and .10 miles from the SamTrans bus stop located at the corner of Middlefield Road and Cassia Street. Encouraging downtown workers to utilize CalTrain and other public transit solutions would serve to reduce the number of vehicles traveling into and through downtown, and place more pedestrians in the primary areas of downtown that feature shops, restaurants, and other retail amenities. Additionally, the TDM plan has been designed with implementation measures to encourage employees to participate in alternative modes of transportation. Annual reporting to the City for compliance with the TDM plan is required. Section 5.

The Downtown Planned Community Permit including two Guideline deviations, Lot Line Adjustment, and Parking In -Lieu Fee are hereby approved based on the Planning Commission's consideration and reliance on the CEQA exemptions and in accordance with the plans, details, and descriptions contained therein, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and subject to the following Conditions of Approval: Page 4 of 17 ATN/RESO.0092/PC RESO 929 MAIN ST.
