ATTY/RESO.0034/CC RESO APPROVING PROJECT (901 EL CAMINO REAL) REV: 04-22-25 VR Page 11 of 17 2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type or density of development. The Project site is physically suited for the proposed type of development. The site is in an urbanized downtown location generally surrounded by commercial, retail, and office uses. The merger and reconfiguration proposed in this Vesting Tentative Parcel Map will better facilitate orderly development in the area consistent with the DTPP. The Project is served by existing utilities and is making necessary public and private improvements and green infrastructure to serve the Project in conformance with applicable Engineering Standards and DTPP design regulations. The proposed Project physically fits within the Project site and the building meets the maximum building height requirements of the DTPP with approval of a Planned Development Permit for additional screening height above the roof. The DTPP does not have an office density or a maximum floor area ratio. 3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife or their habitat. The Project would cover portions of a creek and re-align and daylight the existing underground portion of the creek underneath California Street and the 947 El Camino Real parcel. The relocated earthen creek channel would provide restored on-site habitat. Downstream of the project site, the creek channel would be converted to an underground storm drain. Upstream of the project site, the creek would be shifted to flow parallel to James Avenue and daylighted, with existing developed and landscaped uplands restored to provide creek ecosystem habitat. As specified in the §15183 Consistency Checklist prepared for the Project, the Project would have less than significant impacts related to fish, wildlife or their habitat with the incorporation of mitigation measures which are included as project conditions of approval. Replacement trees will be installed for the removal of the existing 33 trees. The Project includes 81 new trees including street trees, trees in the plaza, and trees in the creek area. 4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious public health problems. As described in Section 4 and in the staff report, the Vesting Tentative Parel Map is consistent with Redwood City’s General Plan, Downtown Precise Plan, Municipal Code, Zoning Ordinance, and all applicable subdivision improvement requirements and will not cause serious health problems. In addition, the Consistency Checklist confirms that all environmental impacts of the Project will be mitigated to the extent feasible 5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, required by the public at large, for access through or use of
