8. B. - Page 190 D. RESPONSE TO APPEAL FROM DIANA REDDY — LOCAL HOUSING COMMITTEE, DECEMBER 20, 2011: Comment D-1: The Redwood City Local Housing Cominittee respectfiilly requests that the recent acceptance of the Final Environmental Impact Report, Planned Development Permit, Vesting Tentative Map, and adoption of related doci�ments be appealed to the City Council. The Comnuttee is concerned that flie Urban Housu�g Group development does not include hoi�su�g at affordability levels that meet the needs of the commtu�ity, a��d, therefore, the project sholild not be considered a�7 appropriate fit for Redwood City a�1d its goals of creatulg an inclusive, thriving conununity. lii addition, the location of the project site fiai�ther reinforces the need for hoL�sing that seives a diverse range of incomes as it sits directly on the El Canuno Corridor, which seives as a primary roL�te for SanlTrans bus seivices. Lower income residents depend on ready access to SamTra��s to travel to work a��d access services. Ensuring some level of affordability is incli�ded in this project is also pa� appropriate in this neighborhood, which is primarily made L�p of worl�ing fanulies. The average a�u�ual income of Redwood City residents is approximately $8,000 less than the county media��, a�ld the neighborhoods surrounding this development are definitely representative of that statistic. This development does not provide a single Lulit of hoL�sing for the inajority of people who live and work in Redwood City, u�cluding people who work for the City! Thank yoL� for your consideration of this appeal request. Resuonse D-1: Tlus is not a conunent on the Final EIR, bi�t rather is a comment on the nati�re and affordability of the project itself. 2580 El Cainino Real Residenrial Project 22 Response to Conmients Recei��ed on Final EIR Cin� of Red��ood Cin� Jannai� 2012
