Box 391 <br />1017 Middlefield Road <br />Redwood City, CA 94064 <br /> <br />Re: Canada Vista Housing Project <br /> <br />Honorable Melubers of the City Council: <br /> <br />Last Summer, the Redwood City Planning Commission and Council unanimously <br />supported the approval of the Canada Vista housing project. During its deliberations, <br />members of the Council emphasized the importance of this project to the furtherance <br />Redwood City's commitment to provide truly affordable housing for those unable to meet <br />the high price of housing in San Mateo County. The Council also recognized the value of <br />a project uniquely positioned to serve those who have decided to dedicate their energy <br />and skills to the education of our youth. <br /> <br />College District Staff, the Design Team and City Staff have worked diligently throughout <br />the design and approval process to keep costs down. We very much appreciate the efforts <br />of City Staff to help us navigate the approval process, and are supportive of their <br />recommendations that the Council waive or reduce certain City fees under the provisions <br />of the City's ordinance code. <br /> <br />The District has reimbursed the City for the costs of certain services provided by the City, <br />including the tilue of staff spent on planning and engineering review. We are also paying <br />the full calculated amount of the Building Permit and Plan Review fees, which also <br />represent a reimbursement to the City for staff Inembers' time expended in reviewing and <br />approving our plans and tor building inspection services during construction. <br /> <br />We understand that our project is exempt from the Traffic Impact Fee because the project <br />is owned by a public agency. Weare also exempt from the Park fee because of the <br />number of affordable units we are building. <br /> <br />In discussions with City staff: we have determined that the Capital Facilities and Water <br />Capacity fees are '"capital facilities" fees that are governed by the San Marcos Supreme <br /> <br />3401 CSM DRIVE, SAN MAHO, CALIfORNiA 94402-3699 .:- V;(650) 574-6550 F;(650) 574-6566 <br />
