The City bases this f nding on all of the following facts: <br />l) According to the City's General Plan, the City's land use goal .is to <br />integrate .a range of land uses to ensure that Redwood City is a desirable <br />place to live." The Project will help to meet this goal by providing <br />employment opportunities within a pleasant, campus -like setting that will <br />.min imize adverse effects on adjacent properties.. <br />(2) The Project is consistent with the land use designations contained in the <br />General Plan. The site is designated for "Office Park Oriented Uses.." <br />(3) The Project site is zoned Commercial Park (CP)District and Professional <br />Office (PO). The CP District is intended to "provide a district for large <br />scale office and administrative uses and buildings to promote the <br />development of employment and .administrative activities." The Project is <br />consistent with the CP District, which covers most of the Project site.. <br />The Project is also consistent with the PO designation, which covers an <br />area .of the site used for the extension of Shoreline Drive, .a landscaped <br />buffer and part of a parking garage. Furthermore, with a Planned <br />Development Permit (PDP) authorized under Article 46 of the Zoning <br />Ordinance the buildings exceeding .l 00 .feet will be consistent with the <br />existing zoning. <br />(4) The purposes of the PDP process include encouraging flexibility of design <br />y and development of land in such a manner as to promote its most <br />appropriate use; encouraging the development of innovative projects <br />which incorporate the highest quality architectural solutions, building <br />materials and landscaping concepts; and promoting the most functional and <br />aesthetic relationships between building structures, signs, open space and . <br />parking areas. The Proj ec f s central theme is to create an informal campus <br />office environment through the placement and massing of buildings and <br />landscaping. It is a high - quality, innovative development consistent with <br />the purposes of the PDP code. <br />EXH I.mtJ IT A <br />EAGPLNPI:DOC 1 <br />5130/96 <br />
