ATTY/RESO.0035/PC RESO RECOMMENDING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPROVAL - 505 E. BAYSHORE REV: 05-12-23 JB Page 13 of 32 WHEREAS, in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act regulations, on [Insert Hearing Date] the City Council adopted a resolution certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Project, making Findings of Fact, and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AS FOLLOWS: 1. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth in their entirety. 2. The Council, having independently heard, considered, and weighed all the evidence in the record, finds that the above recitals are accurate and constitute findings in this matter and, together with the staff report and the application materials, including all other documents, reports, studies, memoranda, maps, oral and written testimony, and materials in the City's file for the applications and the General Plan Amendment, and all adopted City planning documents relating to the General Plan Amendment, including the City's General Plan, Municipal Code, Zoning Ordinance, and other applicable City laws and regulations, and all associated approved and certified environmental documents, have together served as an adequate and appropriate evidentiary basis for the findings and actions set forth in this resolution. 3. The City Council finds that the General Plan Amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and will not create conditions that would be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare. The parcel is not visible from Highway 101 and does not have ideal visibility for commercial uses. Furthermore, the surrounding neighborhood was incorporated into a new Mixed-Use Waterfront designation, including the adjoining site at 557 E. Bayshore which was recently received approval for 448 residential units. The Waterfront Neighborhood category is intended to encourage new high-density residential development (up to 40 DU/Acre) with an emphasis on connection to the bay frontage. The 505 E Bayshore site is a logical extension of the designated Waterfront Neighborhood along the bay front. 4. The City Council approves a change of the General Plan land use designation for that real property located at 505 East Bayshore Road Assessor Parcel Number 052-520-010 from Commercial Regional to Mixed Use - Waterfront Neighborhood as shown on Exhibit A. 5. This resolution shall be effective thirty (30) days after the date of its adoption.
