Amend the Development Caps to allow additional residential beyond 2,500 units and office <br />beyond 586,000 sq. ft. No increase to the 100,000 sq. ft. retail cap is requested. <br />2. Amend the Maximum Heights to allow consideration of heights beyond 10 and 12 stories on a <br />portion of their site. <br />Note: The specific square footage requested for office and residential uses will be determined when the <br />formal development application is submitted. As part of the study of this project, various square footage <br />scenarios could be studied as part of the environmental analysis. <br />Development caps have been amended twice since the implementation of the DTTP, once to reserve 375 <br />residential units for low or very low income housing, and secondly to increase the office cap in order to <br />allow the 851 Main mixed-use development. This would be the third plan amendment since adoption in <br />2011. <br />Many community members have expressed concerns with the jobs/housing balance within the proposal, <br />as well as the proposed height of the 17 -story building adjacent to the railroad tracks. In response, the <br />applicant has withdrawn its request for the 17 -story building and instead proposes to comply with DTPP <br />building heights and requests to study 1-2 stories of additional height on a portion of the site (Attachment <br />3). Staff recommends a financial analysis be completed to evaluate the value of the proposed <br />development in relation to the proposed community benefits. Initiation of a General Plan and Precise Plan <br />amendment would allow for development, economic and environmental review to proceed, but does not <br />imply approval of any project entitlements. <br />Page 9 of 12 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org <br />203 <br />
