PO�VVERS �� .:..� .� ��. r. . . a�a � October 3, 2011 Blake Lyon Acting Principal Planner City of Redwood City Planning, Housing & Economic Development 1070 Middlefield Road Redwood City, CA 94064 RE: AIRGAS RELOCATION — ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SCOPE OF WORK Deaz Mr. Lyon: David J. Powers & Associates (DJP&A) is pleased to submit to you this scope of work to prepare an Initial Smdy for the proposed relocation of an existing Airgas facility to be located at 1826-1828 Industrial Way in Redwood City. The approximately 60,000 square foot project site is currently developed with a 9,900 square foot, one-story warehouse and a 8,300 square foot, one-story office building. It is our understanding that the project proposes to demolish the office building and construct a surface parking lot in its place. The existing warehouse would remain on-site and would be renovated for the new Airgas facility. No new buildings will be constructed but up to four outdoor vertical storage tanks, ranging from 20- 34 feet tall will be installed adjacent to the wazehouse. The project site is currently designated LighJ Industrial in the General Plan and zoned /R — Industria!-Restricted. Based on the project information provided, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. Based on the Redwood City Municipal Code (Article 17), the IR zoning � designation allows warehouses, wholesale businesses, and storage or distribution operations. These uses are required to be within a building unless a use permit is approved. Because the project proposes outside storage tanks, a use permit is required and is proposed as part of the project. Attached are a Scope of Work, Cost Estimate, and proposed schedule for preparing the Initial Study based on the project information outlined above. Thank you for your consideration of our firm for this project. Sincerely, d�� .�C.a�,.-Be,�-. Judy W. Shanley President
