WHEREAS, the City Council of Redwood City adopted by resolution a comprehensive update of the Redwood City General Plan on October 11, 2010. The New General Plan for Redwood City designates the property with Mixed Use Neighborhood land use category. The Mixed Use Neighborhood Development Standards limit single use residential density to 40 dwelling units per acre and maximum height to 3 stories and 40 feet. The project would provide 32.6 dwelling units per acre, less than the maximum residential density. The project would create a three story, 39 feet 1 inch high building, which does not exceed the height limit. Therefore, the project is consistent with the Mixed Use neighborhood land use designation and General Plan for Redwood City in terms of density and intensity; and WHEREAS, the Project does not require further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. These sections describe exemptions from additional environmental review projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project -specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the proposed Architectural Permit, Condominium Permit, Tentative Map and Planned Development Permit would further the purposes of and appropriately implement the City of Redwood City General Plan, and applicable provisions of the Redwood City Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.
