The DEIR was available for public review and comment from January 26, 2018 through March 12, 2018 with the Planning Commission holding a public hearing to receive comments on February 20, 2018. Comments received include: · BIAC concern with parking and traffic · HRAC comments relating to preserving the water tank on-site · CalTrans requested the project contribute to connections to transit, requested a copy of the drainage study, including sea level rise and suggested the project implement a robust transportation demand management plan. · County of San Mateo request the project address potential increase of flooding on the County’s adjacent property. · PG&E’s standard comment letter relating to PG&E facilities. · Comments from eleven persons requesting that Docktown Marina remain, that the water tank be preserved at its current location and consideration of the smaller development alternative evaluated in the Draft EIR. The CEQA consultant prepared the Final EIR (FEIR) for City Council certification. The FEIR contains minor text corrections and written responses to comments from the public and responsible agencies provided during the 45-day public review period on the DEIR. None of the input received from the public and responsible agency identified new impacts or changes to the analysis/ outcomes of the DEIR. The mitigation measures contained in the EIR are incorporated into the conditions of approval for the project to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects. Therefore, no further analysis is required and there is no need to recirculate a revised EIR with new information. The FEIR was available for public review on April 23, 2018. Water Tank The water tank structure on-site is estimated to have been built circa 1915 and may have been used to supply water to the schooners that sailed Redwood Creek. The structure was heavily modified around 1965 and is currently used by the Peninsula Yacht Club as an office and social club. The historic evaluation completed in the DEIR concludes that the water tank structure does not meet any of the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historic Resources as the modifications to it have reduced the integrity of the original structure to a point where it no longer conveys strong historical or architectural associates with Redwood City’s earlier redwood shipping industry. The evaluation finds the structure eligible for local designation as a landmark as it; 1) exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural, aesthetic or architectural history; and 2) is identified with events significant in local history. The EIR includes a mitigation measure relating to the relocation of the water tank to require: photo documentation; preparation of a relocation plan by a qualified preservation architect and structural engineer; and that the tank be reconstructed near the shoreline on permeant footings, 7.A. - Page 18
