lO. AY The EIR evaluated a very conservative parking requirement for the church use (284 spaces) versus the Zoning Code requirement (202 spaces). Fully Alive Community Church plans to fulfill its parking need by entering into a parking agreement with "The Pointe" office complex across the street. According to the Church and The Pointe owners, an agreement can be made for up to 300 parking stalls, if needed4. A recorded grant of easement for the parking use will be required per the Specific Plan and will run with the title to the office complex. The easement shall continue indefinitely unless rescinded by the owner of The Pointe property by notification to the owner of the Church property and the City, at least two years before the date of rescission. Some community representatives believe that there will be spillover parking on nearby residential streets. The EIR points out that spillover parking on Radio Road and residential streets "is not anticipated due to the limited number of spaces available and existing parking restrictions on those streets. Nearby residential streets do not accommodate street parking, except for occasional cutouts with a limited number of spaces." Revocation of Use Permit The Redwood Shores Bayfront Specific Plan states that the Use Permit shall cease if there is not sufficient parking. This policy is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, Section 42.8, which states that the City Council may revoke the Use Permit if any of the conditions are violated. The Use Permit conditions will be enforced by the City as they are typically enforced, which is on a complaint basis with subsequent follow-up investigations. Any changes to the conditions or parking agreement will require public hearings and an amendment to the Specific Plan. Modifications to the Specific Plan At the request of City staff and SBSA, the Planning Commission recommended several modifications to the Specific Plan, some of which are changes to the "linkages" described in Chapter 4 and shown on Table 2 (pg. 4-17) of the Specific Plan. The linkages require implementation of certain plan elements as a condition of approval of other specified elements. (Please refer to the Specific Plan, attached staff memo dated 5/20/02, and Comment Letter C from Jim Bewley in the EIR). These proposed modifications and the reasons for them are as follows: 1) Eliminate the requirement for clean-up/rehabilitation of the Fully Alive Community Church (FACC) Open Space area prior to the expansion of the Church: Clean-up activities in the FACC open space area could cause significant impacts to aquatic resources and sensitive species (as heavy equipment would have to be used in the salt marsh habitat area). Therefore, it is recommended that this element be deleted from the Plan or, at a minimum, de-linked from the church Use Permit. 2) Relocate "North Tree Screen" closerto recycled watertanks. The Specific Pian proposes a tree screen along the raised embankment between the biosolids 4 The Zoning Ordinance allows the Zoning Administrator to permit the location of all or part of the required. parking spaces on non-adjacent parcels located within 400 feet of the premises to which the parking requirement pertains. The Zoning Administrator has permitted offsite parking for chumhes elsewhere in the City (see memo dated Mamh 19, 2002, in Appendix B of the Environmental Impact Report). 3
