110 and install new water mains sufficient to meet these requirements, in accordance with the City’s Engineering Standards and as directed by the City Engineer. Project component plans indicate Fire Department access would not meet two Fire Code standards: (1) the distance from the fire access road (Woodside Road) to the ground floor exterior walls exceeds the Fire Code “hose-pull” maximum of 150 feet; and (2) sleeping rooms (e.g., building type Group R) below the 4th floor do not have escape windows that can open directly into a yard or court with access to a public way. The project component applicant has submitted a “Request for AMMR Consideration” (e.g., “Requests for Alternate Materials or Methods of Construction or Alternate Design”) to the City addressing these two standards. With respect to (1), existing site constraints make it infeasible to provide an access road that meets the minimum 20-foot-wide standard for fire vehicles, so the distance from the fire access road (Woodside Road) around the building perimeter would be approximately 285 feet, which exceeds the Fire Code 150-foot “hose pull” standard. The project component applicant is seeking Fire Marshal approval of this as part of the AMMR request. With respect to (2), some 2nd and 3rd floor sleeping rooms cannot be reached by a ladder because these rooms would be facing the interior courtyard, which could hinder firefighters from direct ladder access; other 2nd floor rooms face planters or areas not typically used as walking surfaces. The applicant’s AMMR request includes technical support documentation by Coffman Engineers (Coffman Engineers, Inc., letter to Redwood City Fire Chief Ray Iverson, re: “Alternate Means & Methods Request (AMMR) Application,” 10/27/2023, attached to the AMMR request) that explains the applicant’s proposed mitigation for item (2), briefly summarized as follows:  provide additional compartmentalized on the 2nd and 3rd floor for residential corridors, with additional one-hour partitions and 45-minute doors; the added compartmentalization would reduce the area for fire exposure and thereby create safe areas for occupant egress and firefighter staging.  upgrade 2nd and 3rd floor residential unit doors from 20 minutes to 45 minutes; the enhanced door rating would serve to delay a fire within a unit from exposing the corridor to fire and would also delay fire from entering another unit.  provide a 4-foot-wide concrete path for ladder placement for the 2nd and 3rd floors; in addition, use a solid artificial turf surface for the portion of the pathway at the rear of the building to maximize permeable site material and minimize damage to the existing stand of redwood trees.  provide three stairwells for firefighter roof access; these stairwells would exceed code requirements, with Stairwell 1, the primary stairwell, located near the building entrance to ensure optimal access for firefighters, and Stairwells 2 and 3 enhancing and facilitating firefighter access.  increase the NFPA 13 hazard designation by one level at the ground floor, which would be expected to result in swifter sprinklers activation and also would increase flow requirements so that a larger volume of water would be available to reach a fire.  separate from the previous mitigation above regarding the 4-foot pathway around the perimeter of the building pertaining to ladder placement, provide a 4-foot-wide concrete path for emergency escape and rescue, except for the portion where solid artificial turf at the rear of the building would be used to maximize permeable site material and minimize damage to the existing stand of redwood trees; Completion of this alternate means and methods (AMMR) process and implementation of these items, as refined or revised by the Fire Marshal, would be a condition of project component approval. Police Protection: The Focused GPU program EIR (pp. 4.15-10 and 4.15-11) found that while “increased land use intensity in the Planning Area could increase the frequency of emergency and non-emergency calls to the Redwood City Police Department, as compared with existing conditions” the future development would not be “anticipated to increase demand for police protection to the extent that new facilities would be required.” The Focused GPU EIR (p. 4.15-11) determined that “the construction or expansion of existing police facilities would not be anticipated as a result of the Project [the Focused GPU]. The Project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered police facilities.” The Focused GPU EIR determined that while new development would incrementally increase demand on police protection services, such demand would be offset by increased property tax revenues which can then be used for the maintenance and/or expansion of police protection facilities and did not anticipate needing to expand existing or build new police facilities as a result of potential population and land use intensity increases from the Focused General Plan Update. The GPU EIR anticipated the growth from the Focused General Plan Update, and it is not anticipated that a new residential project comprising 86 units would result in demand on police services beyond what was anticipated in the GPU EIR and necessitate the construction of a new police facility. No new or physically altered police facilities or need for new or physically altered police facilities have been identified due to the project component. Schools: The Focused GPU program EIR (pp. 4.15-11 and 4.15-12) determined that future development facilitated by the Focused GPU “would result in increased residential building area and a higher population in the Planning Area,” ATTY/RESO.0074/CC RESO 847 WOODSIDE (CEQA) - EXHIBIT 1 - CEQA CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST REV: 10-23-24 VR Page 110 of 135
