108 the DTPP Plan-Wide amendment, including the 1900 Broadway, and it is not anticipated that a new commercial use (office and retail) would result in demand on police services beyond what was anticipated in the SEIR and necessitate the construction of a new police facility given the existing police substation in the DTPP area at 2223 Broadway. Schools: The DTPP program EIR (pp. 8-15 through 8-18) concluded that there would be no significant impacts on schools resulting from the DTPP or projects built under it. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 8- 8 through 8-9 and pp. 8-18 through 8-19) concurred with the DTPP EIR conclusion. The SEIR (pp. 8-18 and 8-19) determined that while “[d]evelopment as a result of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would result in an increase in population and thus an increase in school-aged children that could be enrolled in RCSD and SUHSD schools,” projects facilitated by the Plan-Wide Amendments “would be required to comply with California Government Code Section 65996 [regarding collection of school impact fees]…would mitigate the potential effect on public school facilities from the new student population.” The SEIR (p. 8-19) concluded that “the payment of school impact fees that may be required by a State or local agency constitutes full and complete mitigation of school impacts from development.” The project component consists of new commercial use (office and retail) without any on-site residential uses. If future employees with school-aged children so choose to move to Redwood City, they may so choose to reside in existing residences or new residential projects which are subject to the school impact fees. As such, no new or physically altered school facilities or need for new or physically altered school facilities have been identified due to the project component. Parks: The DTPP program EIR (pp. 8-6 through 8-15) concluded that there would be no significant impacts on parks and recreation resulting from the DTPP or projects built under it. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 8-4 through 8-8 and pp. 8-15 through 8-18) concurred with the DTPP EIR conclusion. The SEIR (p. 8-16) determined that while development facilitated by the Plan-Wide Amendments “would result in an increase in use of existing City-owned parks and recreational facilities,” and the “resulting use of existing City parks and recreational facilities would occur over time as individual projects are developed.” The SEIR (p. 8-16) concluded that “individual projects developed would be subject to the City’s Parks Impact Fee and parkland dedication requirements (or Parkland In-Lieu Fee), which would fund improvements to existing facilities as a result of increased demand. The increased demand on existing regional parks would also not substantially increase or accelerate the physical deterioration or degradation of existing parks and recreation facilities, as these areas are much larger in size and have planned for regional recreational use.” The project component would include a 12,085 square-foot privately owned publicly accessible open space (“Commons”) on the Main Street/Broadway portion of the site and would be available for various programs such as a temporary ice rink, outdoor movies, or other events which would accommodate recreational uses. As such, no need for new or physically altered off-site park facilities have been identified due to the project component. Other Public Facilities: The DTPP program EIR did not address potential impacts on other public facilities resulting from the DTPP or projects built under it. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 8-9 and 8-20) concluded that there would be no significant impacts on other public facilities resulting from the DTPP, as amended, or projects built under it. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (p. 8-20) determined that while development as a result of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments “would likely result in a modest increase in demand for services from RCPL [Redwood City Public Library Department] libraries,” because the City provides the primary funding for libraries, development “would result in the generation of new property taxes and other revenues that go into the City’s General Fund, and thus could provide more resources to cover the increased budget for library services.” The SEIR determined that the increased demand, in and of itself, would not be anticipated to require new or expanded facilities. The SEIR anticipated the impacts of development from the DTPP Plan-Wide amendment, including the 1900 Broadway, and a new commercial use (office and retail) would generate new revenues that may go towards funding library services, and it is not anticipated that a new commercial use (office and retail) would result in demand on library services beyond what was anticipated in the SEIR and necessitate the construction of a new library facility given the existing Downtown Library in the DTPP area at 1044 Middlefield Road. As such, no new or physically altered public facilities or need for new or physically altered public facilities have been identified due to the project component. Public Services Conclusion: Under the proposed project component, no additional impacts on public services are anticipated, and no additional mitigation is required. Therefore, the project component would have a less than significant impact. It would not result in new or more severe impacts with respect to population growth than in the EIR/SEIR and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes.
