Waive First Reading and Introduce An Ordinance Repealing Existing Article <br /> III (Cable Television Systems) and Enacting New Article III to Chapter 11 <br /> Relating to Video Service Franchises <br /> ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY <br /> REPEALING EXISTING ARTICLE III (CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS) AND <br /> ENACTING NEW ARTICLE III TO CHAPTER 11 RELATING TO STATE VIDEO <br /> SERVICE FRANCHISES <br /> B. Docktown Area Update. (613) <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Accept report. <br /> Mr. Ekern, Director of Community Development, presented the report (on file), saying <br /> that he continues to get interest about this area from the development community. He <br /> noted that staff would like to come back with a proposal for a Precise Plan for the area <br /> and a community process. He noted that recreational use is not specifically called out in <br /> the grant from the State. Vice Mayor Gee noted that the term "Inner Harbor" might be a <br /> little broader, and terminology matters as we define "how big" or "how small" this <br /> Precise Plan might be. Mr. Ekern concurred that such terminology is more appealing <br /> and more descriptive. One Council Member wanted staff to pursue "green marinas". <br /> Mayor Aguirre said this matter was presented as a project at the Mayor's Institute and <br /> she looks forward to seeing a Plan for this area. <br /> Public Comment <br /> James Jonas, a resident of Docktown, made positive comments about the large and <br /> enthusiastic response and work for the clean-up. He went on to state that the Precise <br /> Plan is a great document for engagement. He said he looked at the report and <br /> questioned why recreation was not mentioned, but he looks forward to working through <br /> the process. <br /> Carol Wong, a resident of Redwood Shores, opined that this is an opportunity for <br /> another jewel in Redwood City for the waterFront area. She spoke about her excitement <br /> in hearing the comments and her belief we are one step closer with respect to General <br /> Plan. Ms. Wong also said that the, mixed use would bring in retail and enrich the <br /> community. She also shared her thoughts about the Precise Plan in terms of the "Inner <br /> Harbor." <br /> C.
