ATTY/RESO.0052/ CC RESO APPROVING SUBSTITUTE SITE AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING SITE (705 VETERANS)(1900 BROADWAY DA) REV: 07-21-26 MI Page 4 of 11 WHEREAS, after the public hearing, the City Council considered the staff report and the materials submitted by the Developer to support its request, and all other documents, reports, studies, memoranda, maps, oral and written testimony, and materials in the City’s files and all adopted City planning documents relating to the project and the property including the City’s General Plan, as amended, Downtown Precise Plan (“DTPP”) as amended, Municipal Code, Zoning Ordinance, and other applicable City laws and regulations, and all associated approved and certified environmental documents (collectively, the “Record”). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth in their entirety. Section 2. CEQA: The City Council finds and determines that approval of a Substitute Site (705 Veterans Blvd) as the Affordable Housing Site and designated Affordable Housing Project in the 1900 Broadway DAand of an Amended and Restated Affordable Housing Plan is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1) due to the fact that approval of the underlying affordable housing project at 705 Veterans Boulevard has already occurred and is considered ministerial under SB 35 (Government Code Section 65913.4) and SB 330.

The City Council further finds and determines that even if the approval were considered a project under CEQA, it would be exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that the approval of a Substitute Site and Amended Affordable Housing Plan would not have the potential to result in a significant effect on the environment.

Section 3. After due consideration of the Record, the City Council approves the Amended and Restated Affordable Housing Plan and Developer’s request for the Substitute Site under 1900 Broadway DA and finds that the that the Substitute Site meets all of the following conditions:
