I would also urge the exploration of the implications of SB 731 for the city of <br />Redwood City and future projects of this nature. <br />Also, I would appreciate the city's development of special considerations for areas such as our <br />residential neighborhood which so closely border commercial areas, specifically EI Camino <br />and the Woodside corridor, ?Is it applies to the general plan and business projects. It has been <br />my experience as a homeowner that business interests and their enhancements come at the <br />expense of our quiet residential enjoyment. Please don't get me wrong, I realize that we are <br />always growing, but there are compatibility issues. Noise, traffic circulation, hours of operation, <br />types of businesses,safety are important if you live beside a commercial zone. It has been my <br />belief that we need a "buffer" in some cases with more appropriate businesses ( An insurance <br />or accounting office, a furniture or an appliance store is preferable to a drive-through pharmacy <br />or other retail establishments which demand much of a residential neighborhood) <br />If we look at the prior use in this particular project, we see that the former pool supply store <br />had a couple of trucks parked in the back and operated 9-5,and serviced pools off site. This <br />was compatible with the residential neighborhood. The current business is not. <br /> <br />Thank you for your dedica tion to Redwood City, <br />Sincerely I <br />Sue Story <br />102 Center St <br />Redwood City <br /> <br />March 15, 2009 <br /> <br />Sailesh Mehra <br />City of Redwood City <br />Planning Services <br />l01720Middlefield Road <br />Redwood City, CA 94064-0391 . <br /><l--[if IsupportLineBreakNewLine]--> <br /><!~-[endif]--> <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Mehra and Planning Department Members, <br /> <br />I am writing in response to Project request # UP2009-03, the application for a massage establishment at 515 <br />Woodside Rd. <br /> <br />I opposed to this use permit approval on the grounds of inadequate parking, a negative impact on the <br />immediate residential area, current business owners, traffic circulation and pedestrian safety and walkability. <br /> <br />7/8/2009 <br />
