gateway site. The mixed -use building would be designed to create a sense of entry into the downtown and would complement similar retail /office -type buildings located along downtown Main Street. The objectives of the Redwood City Preferred Alternative have been incorporated into the Project through the Precise Plan in a manner which meets the goals of both the City and the project sponsor. As now reflected in the Precise Plan, the Project meets the objectives of the Redwood City Preferred Alternative by emphasizing the importance of Main Street as a primary pedestrian corridor and secondary gateway to the downtown core. The Redwood City Preferred Alternative would have the same impacts on air quality, noise, hazardous materials, population and housing, public services, and utilities and service systems as the Project.

The Marshall Street Hospital Alternative also includes a medical office building at the southeast corner of Veterans Boulevard and Walnut Street. The medical office buildings to be located along Veterans Boulevard would be five stories tall, similar to those in the Project. However, the medical office building to be located at the northeast corner of Marshall Street and Maple Street would be five stories tall, rather than the four -story medical office building included in the Project. The Marshall Street Hospital Alternative also places the plaza area within the center of the campus. Under this alternative, a portion of the existing surface parking lot located at the northwest corner of Main Street and Bradford Street would remain. Parking structure C would contain nine parking levels as opposed to six levels for Parking Structure D under the proposed project. Parking Structure B would contain six levels as opposed to five under the proposed project. However, this
