Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Redwood City DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments 8 ESA / 202100421.01 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report May 2023 concerning airport overflight notification encompass the entirety of the amended DTPP area within Overflight Notification Zone 2/Airport Influence Area B and, therefore, the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would be consistent with the ALUCP.3 At its February 23, 2023, meeting, C/CAG’s Airport Land Use Committee unanimously recommended to the C/CAG Board of Directors that the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments be determined consistent with the ALUCP, and the Board of Directors approved the consistency determination on March 9, 2023. With approval of the remaining proposed General Plan and DTPP amendments, the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would achieve consistency with the Redwood City General Plan (including the DTPP) because they would further the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs of the General Plan. Lastly, because the DTPP maps would be amended and land use controls and development standards within the amended DTPP area would be adjusted, the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not conflict with the City’s Zoning Code or other applicable development standards. Overall, the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments and impacts related to conflicts with plans and policies would be the same as those identified in the DTPP Final EIR and would not result in new or more severe impacts. This impact would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 4-12 to 4-16.) 5. Population and Housing Impact PH-1: Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure). The proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would cause the population of the DTPP to increase, however, this growth would be consistent with City and regional plans f or growth and would not represent substantial unplanned growth. Any necessary infrastructure improvements would be sized to serve proposed development within the amended DTPP area, and not to make adjacent areas available for additional development. Some of the employees generated by the new office space proposed under the DTPP Amendments would be able to reside in the 830 new residential units that could be constructed; and the new housing demand that is not met on-site would be met in other parts of the city and the region, particularly given the amended DTPP area’s transit accessibility, which would allow new employees to access transit-served areas throughout the region. Overall, while the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would result in planned, direct population growth and may result in some indirect induced growth, the growth would be consistent with regional plans and for this reason population and housing impacts from the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not result in new or more severe impacts than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 5-8 to 5-13.) 3 Overflight Notification Zone 2/Airport Influence Area B encompasses that portion of the amended DTPP area generally north and west of a line extending from El Camino Real along Broadway, Winslow Street, Marshall Street, Jefferson Avenue, Bradford Street, and Main Street.
