ATTY/RESO.0083/PC RESO RECOMMENDING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPROVAL – HARBOR VIEW PROJECT REV: 10-28-22 VR Page 5 of 9 A Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for the Harbor View Project (Project) has been prepared. The City's 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), City-wide demand for potable water is projected to be 10,207 acre-feet per year (afy) in the year 2045, which is below the City’s Individual Water Supply Guarantee (ISG) of 12,243 afy. This demand includes the proposed project potable water demand of 26.2-acre feet per year, and anticipated growth in demand projected to occur between 2020 and 2045. As such, the WSA determined that the City has sufficient water to meet all of its expected future water demands, including the demands of the proposed Project, in normal years and in dry years with the implementation of City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan through 2040. b. Recommendation. The Planning Commission recommends that the City of Council of the City of Redwood City adopt the proposed ordinance, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, approving the Development Agreement. 6. Architectural Permit. a. Findings. The Planning Commission makes the following findings: i. The existence of sufficient variety in the design of the structure and grounds to avoid monotony in the external appearance; The buildings are well designed with vertical and horizontal articulation to differentiate the individual units and provide visual interest. The use of a mix of materials avoids monotony in the external appearance. The office buildings and amenities’ building are well designed. Building materials include metal panels with color variation, metal sunshades and a stone base. In addition, the glassy areas of the building include high performance vision glass and spandrel glass with aluminum mullions. The glassy lobby includes a highly visible wood soffit-ceiling component that introduces a major element of natural surfaces to further complement the textured approach. Gently curving roof screens and penthouse roof areas are also clad in textured metal panels to carry the overall theme through the design. The parking garage contains multiple exterior materials including horizontal metal fins, painted concrete spandrels with reveals, pre-finishing perforated metal scrim and painted cement panels with reveals. The project was reviewed the AAC, which determined that the building design was architecturally desirable. ii. The size and design of the structure shall be considered for the purpose of determining that the structure is in proportion to its building
