ATTY/RESO.0020/PC RESO GRANTING APPROVAL OF PERMITS FOR 150 CHARTER REV: 04-29-2021 PR Page 3 of 20 Section 3. Planned Development Permit PD2019-007: The Planning Commission finds that, among other reasons, approval of a Planned Development Permit is appropriate for the proposed Project, as follows: a. Permit Finding. Decisions regarding a Planned Development Permit shall be based upon the purpose statement in this section. The design and construction quality contained in all aspects of the development plan is expected to exceed the quality standards typically required for new developments located in similar zoning districts. A Planned Development Permit is required to establish a condominium map. No deviations are being requested. The project would be required to form a homeowners association (HOA) and develop covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) that would ensure ongoing maintenance of shared common space. The Project will provide an environment of physical and functional desirability, in harmony with the character of the surrounding neighborhood as the project is designed with sufficient setbacks, provides adequate open space and on-site circulation for the intended use and is compatible with the adjacent land uses. Section 4. Condominium Permit UP2019-003: The Planning Commission finds that: a. Permit Finding. Pursuant to Municipal Code Chapter 30 (Subdivisions) Article XI (Condominiums) the project requires approval of a Condominium Permit. Section 30.130 states: “While condominium and community apartment projects present benefits in the nature of increased amenities, opportunities for dwelling ownership and leisure time, the special nature of such projects creates conditions that may result in neglect, deterioration and lack of maintenance, causing a negative impact upon the public health, safety, welfare and economic prosperity of the City and its citizens. Because of the unique nature of the problems created by condominium and community apartment projects, it is the express intent of the City to treat such projects differently from other types of multiple-family dwellings and to establish rules and standards therefor, regulating the construction of, and conversion to, condominium projects and community apartment projects in the City.” The Project as proposed complies with the requirements of Article XI of the Subdivision Ordinance because, among other reasons, the project proposes meter and control valves, noise and energy insulation as required and the project is consistent with the zoning and general plan designation for the site. Section 5. Tentative Map TM2018-010: The project requires approval of a Tentative Map per the Subdivision Ordinance. In the exercise of its independent judgement, the Commission finds that, among other reasons: a. The map, design, or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the general or specific plans, the zoning ordinance, or subdivision improvement requirements. The proposed subdivision and associated improvements are consistent with Redwood City’s General Plan, Municipal Code, Zoning Ordinance, and all applicable subdivision improvement requirements, in that the project meets the requirements for lot design, utilities, and improvements to the right-way.
