<br />07/24/2006 <br /> <br />Planning Commission to undertake the study of said amendments to the Strategic <br />General Plan and Zoning Map and thereafter submit its recommendations to the City <br /> <br />Council; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the City Council further directed that the Planning Commission <br /> <br />initiate the study of amendments to the Strategic General Plan and Zoning Map with <br /> <br />respect to the real property located at 305, 333, 353, 369, and 373 Main Street and <br /> <br />1001 Veterans Boulevard, Redwood City, upon which the existing Land Use designation <br /> <br />is Commercial Office Park and the zoning districts are Industrial Park - Combined <br /> <br />Vehicular (IP-V) and General Commercial (CG); and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the city council believes that the initiation of amendments to the <br /> <br />Strategic General Plan and the Zoning Map of Redwood City is in the public's interests <br /> <br />as: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Redwood City's Housing Element and ABAG requirements indicate that <br /> <br />Redwood City has a crucial need for more housing; and <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />The proposed sites at 305, 333, 353, 369, and 373 Main Street and 1001 <br /> <br />Veterans Boulevard although not located within the downtown core, are <br /> <br />located proximate to downtown; and <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />The sites are not located adjacent to any heavy industrial uses, and thus <br /> <br />residential land use can more readily be introduced into the commercial <br /> <br />office neighborhood than it could in other non-residential parts of <br /> <br />Redwood City where heavy industrial impacts are a factor; and <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Although the proposed development is not immediately linked to any <br /> <br />proximate housing uses, future redevelopment of some of the properties in <br /> <br />F:Atty/Reso/Reso.1636 <br />072606 <br /> <br />14724 <br />Muff # 601 <br /> <br />,,------,------,-------, -'- ---------",--------------------",,--------'----- <br />
