7A Page 110 require additional study or they may already be part of the scope of other City work, such as the General Plan update. Ali of the recommended revisions are found in Attachments C and D. Among others, the recommendations include suggested language to better address parks, Redwood Creek, bicycle facilities, and the siting of banks on Broadway. The subjects of historic resources and Draft DPP height limits are also discussed in the issue matrix. In the case of historic resources, a significant Plan revision is proposed and is discussed below. In the case of height limits, no plan-wide changes are recommended, but the topic is also further addressed below. Historic Resources: At the October 3, 2008 Planning Commission meeting when the Draft DPP was introduced to the public, it became clear to staff and the City's consultant on the Draft DPP (Freedman Tung and Bottomley) that more work was needed in this area. The City has a Historic Resources Element in the General Plan, a Historic Resources Ordinance, and is also subject to both the California Environmental Quality Act as well as the Secretary of Interior Standards as they pertain to historic resources. The Draft DPP acknowledges that Downtown Redwood City is graced by many significant resources and even defines one of the character areas for architectural design to relate to that historic aspect. The Draft DPP includes relational height requirements for new construction adjacent to designated resources. Despite these intentions of promoting and respecting Redwood City's downtown historic resources, the Draft DPP does not adequately reflect existing City and State regulations applicable to historic resources, as well as the process for altering a resource or constructing adjacent to a resource. Over the past severs! months, special meetings with the Historic Resources Advisory Committee were held to ensure a thorough understanding of this subject and to guide the ensuing staff work on this complex topic. As a result, staff has drafted an entire new section (Section 2.2.7 Relation to Historic Structures), which is proposed as a Plan insert. A draft of the new section, which includes new text; a comprehensive map of the historic resources within the Downtown Precise Plan area boundaries; and a process flow chart for development affecting the different type of historic resources, are provided in Attachment D for the Planning Commission's consideration. Staff strongly recommends inclusion of this new section. In addition to this added Section, the Planning Division has also hired a consultant to evaluate all of the resources and districts shown as "Potential Resources." These evaluations will be made available near the time of City Council review and may result in changes to the proposed draft map of resources. Although one of the objectives of the DPP is to ensure certainty of the process to developers to the extent possible, staff has determined that development involving historic resources must be considered on a case-by-case basis with particular consideration of the nature of the proposed resource involved and the significance of the modification to the resource. Height Limits: Building height for the downtown is a subject of great concern to several individuals who have made comments regarding the Draft DPP. In recent times, height has been a significant issue for the Redwood City community as reflected in a recent voter referendum for a high rise development in the bayfront;
