Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Harbor View Project PAGE 32 OF 48 ESA / 170951 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2022 ATTY/RESO.0085/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA – EXHIBIT A REV: 11-02-2022 VR any of the significant environmental effects of the project, and then evaluate the comparative merits of such alternatives. (Guidelines §15126(a)). A. Project Objectives The Project objectives for the Harbor View Project are below. Develop a lively working environment with office uses within the Inner Harbor to promote innovation and creativity. Orient development toward internal open space and allow public access to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian linkages through the Project site toward future public open space near the water. Respect views of the water and hills by maintaining and enhancing key view corridors. Create a day/night environment that is safe and enjoyable for residents, employees, and visitors. Cluster development to provide adequate buffer to adjacent industrial uses. Provide publically-accessible recreation and open space amenities within the Project site, in support of the citywide adopted parkland standard. Insist upon quality architecture, streetscapes, public place improvements, and other “placemaking” features. Provide for new and improved pedestrian and bicycle paths to facilitate connections between the Project site and Downtown Redwood City contemplated as part of the Woodside/101 improvement plan. Plan for land use and circulation compatibility with adjacent institutional, industrial, and port- dependent uses, through effective building placement, orientation, and screening. B. Significant Environmental Impacts of the Project Based on the analyses in Chapters 4.1 through 4.14 of the DEIR, the City has determined that all of the proposed Project’s potentially significant environmental effects would be avoided or reduced to less-than-significant levels through implementation of the mitigation measures described in the DEIR and MMRP, except for the following: 4.2 Air Quality Impact AIR-1.CU: Development of the Project, combined with cumulative development citywide, would result in cumulative air quality impacts.
