Waived the first reading and introduced an ordinance approving the Development Agreement between the City of Redwood City and El Camino Real Holdings JV (901 El Camino Real). The City Council approved each of the above items with a vote of 7-0 and the April 28, 2025 staff report describes the project and Development Agreement in detail. The City Council introduced the Development Agreement ordinance as recommended by the Planning Commission without revisions. Mayor Gee, at the time, created an ad hoc committee to guide staff in drafting the Development Agreement for the 901 El Camino Real Project. As the work of the 901 El Camino Real Ad Hoc Committee has been completed, this ad hoc committee was disbanded. FISCAL IMPACT The Project applicant has entered into a reimbursement agreement with the City. Staff and all consultant time spent on the Project is charged to the applicant. In addition to the voluntary monetary contributions and other Community Benefits included in the Development Agreement, staff anticipate the new development associated with the Project could lead to increased sales and property tax revenue to the City over time. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This Project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 provides for streamlined environmental review for Projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or General Plan Policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. A CEQA Consistency Checklist, dated April 1, 2025, was prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 in connection with both the 901 El Camino Real and 920 Shasta Projects to determine whether further environmental review beyond that which was provided by the Redwood City Downtown Precise Plan EIR (Resolution No. 15086) (“DTPP EIR”) and the DTPP Plan Wide Amendments Subsequent EIR (Resolution No. 16153) (“DTPP SEIR”) (from here on, collectively referred to as the “EIR/SEIR”) was necessary for the 901 El Camino Real Project in light of the Project level information now available. The CEQA Consistency Check determined that: (1) no peculiar impacts to the 901 El Camino Real Project component or its site have been identified; (2) there are no potentially significant effects that were not analyzed in the prior EIR/SEIR; (3) there are no significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by the EIR/SEIR; (4) no substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe than anticipated by the EIR/SEIR; and, (5) the Project applicant will undertake feasible mitigation measures specified in the EIR/SEIR to mitigate Project-related significant impacts. The mitigation measures have been included in the Project as part of the approved Conditions of Approval. As such, the Project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. On April 28, 2025, the City Council adopted a CEQA Findings Resolution determining that the 901 6.C. - Page 2 of 345 110
