Signage <br />A project with a base density study must maintain both the same average unit size “and other project <br />details” as in the base density study, except those that may be modified by waiver or concession to <br />accommodate the bonus units. The applicant will be providing additional details on the extent of each of <br />the waiver requests, however staff wanted to highlight a substantive waiver request in the table below <br />(see Table 1). While other projects in Redwood City have requested height waivers/ or height concessions, <br />this is the first of this magnitude. The base density study for this project shows that 185 units can be <br />accommodated within the 92 ft. (8 story) height limit. The applicant is requesting an additional 158 ft. (13 <br />stories) to produce 37 bonus units and associated amenities (See Table 1 and Figure 5 comparing the <br />maximum height allowed with the proposed height waiver). <br />TABLE 1: Key Waiver <br />Waiver type Development <br />Standard Proposal Amount of <br />Deviation Notes <br />Height 92 feet max <br />8 stories <br />250 feet <br />21 stories <br />272% <br />263% <br />The additional height <br />requested does not <br />appear to be <br />proportional to the <br />requested number of <br />bonus units <br />. <br />FIGURE 5: HEIGHT COMPARISON – PERMITTED (PINK) VS.
