<br />These are not minor details but fundamental requirements that impact public safety, <br />environmental protection, and community benefits. The Plan Review Committee <br />established these requirements precisely because they are necessary to ensure a <br />responsible, well-designed project. <br /> <br />We understand the desire to move forward with this important project after all of this <br />time, but initiating the EIR process before addressing these foundational issues would <br />be premature and potentially wasteful of both city resources and taxpayer dollars. The <br />EIR should evaluate a stable project description with alternatives that have addressed <br />these basic requirements. <br /> <br />Therefore, we respectfully request that the Council: <br />1. Delay the scheduled vote on initiating the EIR for the Redwood Life proposal <br />until the applicant has addressed the PRC requirements. <br />2. Direct staff to work with the applicant to strengthen Alternative 2 in collaboration <br />with the community, incorporating feedback from the recently completed <br />Sensitivity Analysis (January 30, 2025). <br />This approach would ensure that when the EIR does move forward, it evaluates <br />alternatives that are truly responsive to both community needs and the City's strategic <br />goals for economic development, sea level rise adaptation, and sustainable growth. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration of this important matter. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Steven and Nina Goodale <br />825 Portwalk Pl. <br />Redwood City, CA 94065
