NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AS FOLLOWS: Section 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. Section 2. The City Council, having independently heard, considered, and weighed all the facts and evidence in the Record, finds that the above recitals are accurate and constitute findings in this matter and, together with the Project Record, have served as an adequate and appropriate evidentiary basis for the findings and actions set forth in this resolution.

In the exercise of its independent judgement, based on the facts and evidence in the Record, the City Council concurrently adopted a Resolution finding that, pursuant to the CEQA Consistency Checklist, the Project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, and does not require further environmental review under CEQA. Section 4. General Plan Amendment Findings. Based on the facts and evidence in the Record, the City Council, in the exercise of its independent judgment, finds: a. The Project General Plan Mixed-Use Downtown Amendments to increase the DTPP Maximum Allowable Development office cap are consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan (as amended) including but not limited to the General Plan goals, policies and programs listed in the Staff Report prepared for the Project: BE-1.4, BE–11.6, BE-18.2, BE-18.5, BE-18.7, BE-18.8, BE-23.7, BE- 25, BE-26, BE-29, BE-30, BE-31 and H-2.3. The Mixed-Use Downtown Amendments appropriately implement the General Plan’s vision for the Mixed Use–Downtown land use designation as the approved DTPP Plan Wide Amendments allow increases to the office development cap. b. The Project General Plan Mixed-Use Downtown Amendments are limited to an increase in the allowed office development cap and will not create conditions that would be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare. These amendments would instead enhance the DTPP area by promoting planned, transit- oriented development, including increased office development, active retail space, and an open space plaza consistent with General Plan goals and policies.
