as a focal point for the community and creating and defining an accessible, safe, <br />attractive and convenient downtown. <br />Selection of an alternative site outside of Redwood City would <br />conflict with the project objectives of providing a resource for Kaiser Permanente <br />members in the Redwood City community, providing a campus which is <br />compatible with Redwood City's objectives and design guidelines for the <br />downtown area, establishing a central downtown public gathering space that <br />serves as a focal point for the community, and creating and defining an <br />accessible, safe, attractive and convenient downtown. Partial relocation to an <br />alternative site would also conflict with the project objectives of consolidating <br />most of Kaiser Permanente's Redwood City treatment and support functions at a <br />single Medical Center location, providing the functional and operational <br />relationship and adjacencies paramount for delivery of quality care, and providing <br />a campus environment that is easy to negotiate for both pedestrians and <br />vehicles, by creating open spaces and pedestrian walkways with clearly <br />recognizable destination points, building entrances, landmarks, and street <br />crossings to orient people to Medical Center programs. <br />Based on the foregoing, the City finds that, on balance, the use of <br />an alternative site is not a feasible alternative to the Project as approved. <br />
