From: Judy Borcz <br />To: GRP -City Council <br />Subject: Sequoia Station Development - Size must be reconsidered <br />Date: Tuesday, February 2, 2021 11:12:44 AM <br />CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or <br />clicking links, especially from unknown senders. <br />To the City Council, <br />I would like to strongly request you reconsider the size of the Sequoia Station development proposal. The project <br />plan states that 1.25M sq. ft. of office space is proposed. That size is 4x both Box buildings combined. Our <br />downtown is becoming so huge and over -built as to be almost unrecognizable. The amount of traffic that would be <br />coming in to town from this office space is formidable, and highway 101 cannot be expanded at the Woodside <br />interchange. This office space would create a demand for 1000+ market rate and 1000+ affordable housing units, <br />while only 625 units, of which 240 would be affordable are planned. <br />I realize this proposal is set up for convenience to the train system, but it is far to huge for the town to keep a <br />reasonable character without gridlock. Please reconsider and significantly require the project to be downsized. <br />Regards, <br />Judith Borcz <br />Redwood City Resident <br />
