<br />an elevated wood deck area with shade canopy, tables, and chairs. In addition, tables and
<br />chairs for use by office tenants, and public art/sculpture, would be incorporated into
<br />Chrysanthemum Plaza. In the underground parking levels, a “wellness” room, and lockers,
<br />showers, and changing rooms, are proposed for use by office tenants (Plan Sheets L0.02,
<br />L1.01, L1.02, L1.03, L3.01, 6/11/24; and Plan Sheets A2.B1, A2.B2, and A3.11, 8/5/24)
<br />The Commercial Component would connect to existing City sanitary sewer mains, and
<br />connections would be completed to City standards and design specifications. This
<br />component would remove the existing sewer main in California Street and would construct
<br />a new main in the proposed Franklin Street extension and also along a portion of James
<br />Avenue. Stormwater treatment would be provided onsite via vegetated areas within the
<br />plaza and on the building roof and at-grade flow-through bioretention planters will be
<br />installed on project frontages on El Camino Real, James Avenue, Winklebleck Street, and
<br />Franklin Street. The Commercial Component would include relocation and upsizing of a
<br />storm drain on El Camino Real along the Commercial Component site frontage.
<br />Additionally, James Avenue would be re-graded to lower flow line elevations and drain
<br />toward the Commercial Component site side of the street; and the new segment of Franklin
<br />Street would be designed to conform to the grades at the James Avenue intersection and
<br />Winklebleck intersection, as discussed in more detail below in item X, Hydrology and
<br />Water Quality.
<br />This component would be served by existing City water mains in Winklebleck Street. The
<br />existing water main in California Street would be removed, and two new water mains
<br />would be installed, one in James Avenue and one in the Franklin Street extension. Although
<br />the component site is not currently served by recycled water infrastructure, the project
<br />would install a new recycled water main from the nearest point of connection to the
<br />intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Marshall Street, along Marshall Street, Broadway,
<br />California Street, and through the entire project site frontage to the intersection of new
<br />Franklin Street and James Avenue. (BKF, “Preliminary Engineering Study, 901 El Camino
<br />Real, Redwood City, California 94063,”December 14, 2024; Plan Sheets C4.0, C9.0, and
<br />C10.0, 8/12/24)
<br />The Commercial Component proposes a total of four fire hydrants: one
<br />replacement/relocated fire hydrant on the northeast intersection of the project component
<br />site driveway at Winklebleck Street, California Street, and the proposed Franklin Street
<br />extension; one replacement/relocated fire hydrant on the northwest corner of the project
<br />component site at Winklebleck Street and El Camino Real; one new fire hydrant on the
<br />southwest project component site corner at James Avenue and El Camino Real; and one
<br />new fire hydrant on the southeast project component site corner at James Avenue and the
<br />proposed Franklin Street extension (Plan Sheets C4.0 and C11.0, 8/12/24).
<br />The Commercial Component would be an “all-electric” building; e.g., no natural gas for
<br />HVAC, domestic hot water, or cooking. This component would include building materials
<br />and designs selected for controlling heat and glare and for reducing heat gain through the
<br />roof; an air-source heat pump chiller unit and a water-cooled chiller unit for high efficiency
<br />heating and cooling; a cooling tower designed to reduce excessive water consumption; a
<br />laboratory ventilation system using an energy-reducing design for heat recovery, air-
<br />handling, and exhaust; and an automated system to monitor and control building
<br />mechanical and plumbing equipment to reduce energy consumption. The air handling units,
<br />parking garage air supply and exhaust fans, and hydronic pumping systems would all
<br />employ variable speed fan drives. The building would incorporate a sensor-controlled, low-
<br />energy lighting design. The project component would use water-efficient plumbing fixtures
<br />and native and drought tolerant plants for landscape design. These systems, equipment, and
<br />designs would be energy efficient and lead to energy savings over the building's lifecycle.
