7.B Page 176 and may be subject to further negotiations as it. relates to the Development Agreement established for the Peninsula Park project. Q9 General Plan and Zoning Compliance: Prior to the MSV project, the subject property had a General Plan designation of Office/Commercial - Office Park Oriented Uses. As part of the MSV approvals, the General Plan was amended and the land use designation was changed to Office/Commercial - Mixed Use (Commercial and Residential), As indicated above, this portion of the MSV project was not subject to the voter referendum; therefore, the Peninsula Park project and subsequently the One Marina project is consistent with the current General Plan designation of Office/Commercial - Mixed Use Residential. Zoning for the project site was changed from General Commercial (CG) to Precise Plan (P) with the adoption of the Peninsula Park Precise Plan, The One Marina project has been submitted with the intent of fully complying with the previsions of the Peninsula Park Precise Plan. Pending confirmation by the Planning Commission of several interpretations, the project as submitted would be consistent"with the existing zoning regulations. Environmental Review: An Environmental Impact Report (ErR), prepared for the City by Wagstaff and Associates, evaluated the potential effects of MSV and was certified by the City in 2004, More specifically, the Redwood City Planning Commission certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) for the Marina Shores Village project in July 2003, and the City Council approved the Precise Plan and its land use entitlements in June 2004 and made 28 Statements of Overriding Consideration in taking their action,1 The Marina Shores Village approval was repealed through a local voter referendum in November 2004, The certification of the Final EIR was not part of the referendum. As previously discussed, the Peninsula Park application included a portion of the same project area as MSV with a similar mix of land uses at a lower density and lower heights. The City has determined that an Addendum to the previously certified EIR was the appropriate environmental review document for the Peninsula Park project, pursuant to Sections 15164 and 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The purpose of an Addendum is to describe the changes and additions to the previously certified EIR necessary to achieve CEQA compliance for the proposed Peninsula Park project. The Addendum identifies mitigation measures that have been removed as a result of the reduced project scope, mitigation measures that remain applicable, and the impacts that continue to be significant and unavoidable. Prior to the submittal of the One Marina project the applicant obtained a legal opinion from the law firm Meyers Nave regarding the consistency of the propose project with the Precise Plan and whether the revised project was within the scope of the 2003 ErR and Addendum. The City received a separate legal opinion from McDonough Holland & Allen, Both legal opinions came to the independent conclusion that a revised project with a reduced scope and scale, such as that represented in the One Marina project, 1 Resolution No. 14590 dated 6/7/04
