8.A. - Page 55 ATTACHMENT2 32.2, zoning standards described above, will provide an environment of physical and functional desirability, in harmony with the character of the surrounding neighborhood, as required by Zoning Ordinance Article 46. Section 4. Exception to Private Roadway Engineering Standard: The City Council finds that: (a) Municipal Code Chapter 30 (Subdivisions) Section 30.118 B allows roadway width exceptions if a Planned Development (PD) Permit has been approved or if the exception is in the public interest. (b) The City's Plan Review Committee (including Fire and Traffic Engineering staff) has determined that the proposed roadway meets emergency vehicle (public safety) access and general circulation needs of the project. The City Traffic Engineer has also reviewed the RKH Engineers and Fehr & Peers traffic reports and memos (Finger Draft EIR Appendix G) and agrees that the proposed 22 foot wide private roadway will meet necessary access and circulation needs of the project. (c) The roadway is not necessary for neighborhood or general citywide circulation needs; rather it is a private roadway intended to serve only nine property owners and their guests. The roadway is thus considered proportionally sized to this small nine unit infill development. By contrast, most Redwood Shores projects have 25 foot wide, two-way private roadways because they serve as a network of neighborhood streets for larger developments that generate greater vehicle demand/ traffic volumes. (d) The City Council hereby finds, as required by Municipal Code Chapter 30 (Subdivisions), Section 30.118 B, that the requested roadway width Exception is granted as part of the City Council's approval of the requested Planned Development (PD) Permit, and that the Exception is in the public interest as it is consistent with regional and community plans/polices outlined in the Finger Project Draft EIR, pages 173-179. Section 5. The City Council grants the modifications and exceptions set forth above and approves the Planned Development Permit based on the City Council's consideration and reliance on the EIR and in accordance with the plans, details and descriptions contained therein, contained in the Resolution certifying said EIR and conditioned upon and subject to the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and the following Conditions of Approval: CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: ATTY/RES0.2784/FINGER RESO APPROVING PD FINAL REV:08-31-12 VR Page 7 of 20
