details return to the Committee on a future consent agenda. There is a condition of approval for this project that reflects this AAC review. The Historic Resource Advisory Committee reviewed the Cultural Resources section of the Draft EIR at its March 8, 2018 meeting. Committee comments included requesting the developer consider retaining the water tank on-site to maintain the relationship with Redwood Creek and add interpretative information regarding the tank and the history of Redwood Creek. One HRAC member expressed support for retaining the tank at the current location but also agreed that the tank would retain local historical significance if moved. On January 26, 2018 through March 12, 2018, the City held a 45-day public review period to provide the public and responsible agencies an opportunity to submit written comments on the project’s Draft EIR (DEIR). The City mailed, published and posted on its website a Notice of Availability to notify state and local agencies, surrounding property owners, and interested parties that the DEIR would be available for public comment. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 20, 2018 to receive public comments on the DEIR. The City also received written comments on the DEIR during the public review period. The City’s CEQA consultant prepared the Response to Comments document and the Final EIR. No substantial comments were received that would require new mitigation measures or recirculation of the EIR. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Mixed Use Waterfront Zoning District, a CEQA addendum to the General Plan EIR, and the project entitlements at its April 17, 2018 meeting. The Planning Commission, by a vote of 5-0 (Commissioner Safdari was absent and Commissioner Guerrero had resigned prior to hearing), adopted Resolution No. 18-06 recommending the City Council approve an addendum to the General Plan EIR and adopt an Ordinance establishing the Mixed Use Waterfront Zoning District to the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission, by a vote of 5-0 (Commissioner Safdari absent) adopted Resolution No. 18-07 recommending the City Council adopt the Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the site Mixed Use Waterfront, approve the Development Agreement, approve the Planned Development Permit and Condominium Permit, approve the Tentative Map, approve the Architectural Permit and approve the Sign Permit. Mixed Use Waterfront District As described in the Background section above, the City has not scheduled any further work on the preparation of the IHSP and as a result, the Project site’s General Plan land use designation (Mixed Use Waterfront) and zone district (Tidal Plain) have not been altered. Although the Project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation, it would be inconsistent with existing zoning because the zoning has not been updated in a manner consistent with the 2010 General Plan. As discussed below, staff recommends establishment of a new zone district, Mixed Use Waterfront (MUW) in order to implement the General Plan land use designation. 7.A. - Page 4
