The IHSP included incentives to allow additional building height, residential density, or floor area for projects that provide community benefits such as parks, affordable housing, childcare facilities, habitat restoration, transportation linkages, or other improvements for the IHSP area or that benefit the entire City. The approach was based upon the Partnership Redwood City concept that encourages partnerships to provide a variety of community benefits through both new development opportunities and volunteer programs. The MUW zoning regulations provide a similar incentive to allow reduced creek setbacks, additional building height, floor area, and residential density (described above under development standards) with the provision of community benefits. The community benefits are organized in a point system with a total of six points required to qualify for one bonus and four points required for additional bonuses. Community benefits including the following: · Tier 1 benefits (worth four points each): habitat restoration, active recreation areas and enhanced bicycle and pedestrian amenities. · Tier 2 benefits (worth two points each): publicly-visible art, affordable housing, and child care. Other Zoning Code Amendments In addition to the establishment of the MUW district described above, staff recommends the following additional changes to the Zoning Ordinance (collectively, the “Zoning Ordinance Amendments”): · Article 2 (Definitions): Includes a definition for Marina, which is proposed as a conditional use with the MUW district · Article 3 (Designation of Districts): Includes Mixed-Use Waterfront in the table of zone districts · Article 30 (Off Street Parking and Loading): Edits and adjustments to Section 30.4 (Required Number of Parking Spaces – Mixed Use Districts) includes parking requirements for a Marina use, the use of tandem parking spaces for residential uses, and the provision of a shared-use parking option to provide flexibility and efficiency for parking facilities servicing multiple uses. Strada Project Description The development proposal includes demolition of existing structures and hard surfaces on- site for construction of 131 townhomes with associated site and landscape improvements. The site grading would include removal of contaminated soil and import of new clean fill material to raise the site by approximately three feet to address the 100-year flood zone issues and future sea level rise. The applicant estimates 14,350 cubic yards would be excavated from the site and off-hauled and approximately 67,750 cubic yards of fill would be added. 7.A. - Page 6
