Redwood <br />City's Port is a regional asset that is critical for our region and it is supported by the heaN y and light <br />industrial companies around it. <br />Changing the zoning of this area, to accommodate a massive commercial office project, in place of <br />industrial, will inevitably have a negative domino affect on all the heavy and light industry that supports <br />the Port and makes it viable. It will result in more land speculation as more land owners request a zoning <br />change to commercial office resulting in killing the only Port in the region and a loss of economic <br />diversity that sustains our region. <br />The development will significantly worsen traffic congestion on Highway 101, particularly at the <br />Woodside Road interchange, which is already very seriously impacted. In addition, the Harbor View site <br />is in the path of sea level rise. Redwood City should not be approving further development in the flood <br />zone with no plan for how to protect it. <br />An additional concern is the jobs -housing imbalance. Building a massive commercial office, with 4,500 <br />employees, north of 101, nnill put pressure on providing housing on the North side of 101. This puts <br />pressure on developing in the old Cargill saltponds, a project that has divided the Redwood City <br />Community. <br />PLEASE SCRAP this project, which is the wrong project in the wrong place. <br />Thank you for- your consideration. <br />Beverly Morgan <br />Redwood City, CA 94062 <br />
