8.A. - Page 4 of 36 <br />The 12 -acre Sequoia Station development has made further revisions to its proposed development <br />project in response to comments received at the February 2020 City Council meeting. The developer has <br />provided two new alternatives that it believes reflect initial community feedback (see document here). <br />The project has lowered total building heights to comply with the current Downtown Precise Plan <br />(DTPP) standards of 8-10 and 12 stories. They have removed 100,000 sq. ft. of office and added multi- <br />family housing, ranging from an additional 300 to 400 units, dependent on community and Council input. <br />In the attached project letter, the developer shows the block -by -block breakdown of uses and square <br />footages. One of the challenges of describing the District is that while the overall development numbers <br />are large, so is the total area of development. While the largest Gatekeeper project is on a one -acre parcel <br />(2300 Broadway with 200,000 sq. ft. of office), Sequoia Station alone is 12 acres. For comparison purposes, <br />block -by -block densities in the District are generally consistent with the existing Box and Indigo Apartment <br />developments. Additional visualizations are available on the prosect website. <br />Figure 2 describes the overall land uses proposed for the Transit District, with options for additional <br />housing. <br />Figure 2 — Transit District Land Use Table <br />Site <br />Office <br />Retail <br />Housing <br />Notes <br />Sequoia <br />1,250,000 <br />175,000 <br />500/625 <br />Assumes two residential options, with 225 of the <br />Station <br />housing units being affordable units. <br />PB -Owned <br />245,000 <br />0 <br />215 <br />Two different options are being considered, <br />Parcel <br />either office or housing.

The <br />City developed an informational newsletter and paper survey along with an online, virtual open house <br />that allows the community to virtually enter a website "room" with information, interactive <br />exhibits, videos and online surveys. This strategy was formed with input from the City Council's <br />Communications Sub -Committee. <br />Page 4 of 12 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />196 <br />
