<br />significant level. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 8-13 through 8-15) concurred with the DTPP
<br />EIR conclusion. In addition, the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 14-12 through 14-13) noted that
<br />Mitigation Measure 8-1 has been effectively implemented in the Downtown, including around Fire Station No. 9 on
<br />Marshall Street, and at more intersections in the vicinity.
<br /> The subject component design would be required to comply with all applicable City and State codes and regulations
<br />pertaining to emergency access, as well as fire protection and security. For example, Commercial Component plans
<br />(Plan Sheets A2.01, A2.B2, A2.B3,8/5/24; and C11.0,8/12/24) note the following fire protection components:
<br /> The building would have a fire pump room.
<br /> An onsite fire tank, with the lower tank level located next to the fire pump room in the building basement and the
<br />upper tank located the next basement level above.
<br /> A fire command room and fire equipment room.
<br /> Two fire department connections would be located onsite (one at the corner of Winklebleck Street and El Camino
<br />Real; the other on the northwest corner of the project component site driveway at Winklebleck Street, California
<br />Street, and the proposed Franklin Street extension).
<br /> The above fire protection components are subject to review and approval by the City and would be a standard condition
<br />of Commercial Component approval.
<br /> There are two existing fire hydrants located near the Commercial Component site; this component proposes a total of
<br />four fire hydrants: one replacement/relocated fire hydrant on the northeast project component site corner driveway at
<br />Winklebleck Street, California Street, and the proposed Franklin Street extension; one new fire hydrant on the
<br />southeast project component site corner at James Avenue and the proposed Franklin Street extension; one new fire
<br />hydrant on the southwest corner of the project component site at James Avenue and El Camino Real; and one
<br />replacement/relocated fire hydrant on the northwest corner of the project component site at Winklebleck Street and El
<br />Camino Real, for a total of four fire hydrants (Plan Sheet C4.0 and C11.0,8/12/24). The final location and number of
<br />hydrants would be reviewed and confirmed by the Fire Marshal. Fire flow tests performed for the Commercial
<br />Component indicate a flow rate of 2,750 gallons per minute (gpm), with a static pressure of 20 pounds per square inch
<br />(psi) (at Winklebleck Street and California Street), which would be above the 2,168gpm required fire flow to comply
<br />with fire code requirements and assuming a 50 percent flow reduction for sprinklers (Plan Sheet C11.0,8/12/24;
<br />“Preliminary Engineering Study, 901 El Camino Real, Redwood City, California 94063,” BKF, December 14, 2024,
<br />p. 3 and “Attachment 2 Fire Hydrant Flow Test City of Redwood City”). Final confirmation of the fire flow adequacy
<br />shall be provided, based on a current set of flow data.
<br /> In addition, as a standard condition of approval, the Commercial Component must demonstrate, in conformance with
<br />the City’s Engineering Standards, that the existing water main meets the domestic and fire flow requirements in
<br />accordance with City Code Section 38.26 and the International Fire Code. If the existing water main is not sufficient
<br />as determined by the City Engineer, the applicant shall, as part of this component, construct and install new water
<br />mains sufficient to meet these requirements, in accordance with the City’s Engineering Standards and as directed by
<br />the City Engineer.
<br /> Project plans indicate access for Fire Department would be via El Camino Real, Winklebleck Street, and the proposed
<br />Franklin Street extension; access for aerial fire apparatus would be provided along the El Camino Real side of the
<br />building, except at the extents of the bus stop, from James Street approximately halfway northwest along the
<br />Commercial Component site boundary (Plan Sheet C11.0,8/12/24; BKF, p. 3).
<br /> All of the standard requirements and procedures described above regarding emergency access and fire protection are
<br />subject to review and approval by the City.
<br /> Police Protection: The DTPP program EIR (pp. 8-1 through 8-3) concluded that there would be no significant impacts
<br />on police service resulting from the DTPP or projects built under it. Since adoption of the DTPP, a police substation
<br />has been established within the DTPP area located at 2223 Broadway. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program
<br />SEIR (pp. 8-2 through 8-3 and pp. 8-13 through 8-14) concurred with the DTPP EIR conclusion. The SEIR determined
<br />that development as a result of the DTPP Plan-Wide amendments would increase overall demand on police services
<br />in the City and also within the Downtown area. Additional officers if needed would be allocated over time, through
<br />the City’s annual budget process. The SEIR determined that should RCPD determine that an additional police
<br />substation or community policing center is necessary within the amended DTPP area, the facility would likely be
<br />incorporated into an existing or otherwise‐planned structure similar to the existing Downtown Substation and would
<br />generate no new or more severe impacts on police services beyond those identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Regarding
<br />the project component, no new or physically altered police facilities or need for new or physically altered police
