nniG i 7.A. - Page 89 City of Redwood City Eln Haaenaurn October 8, 2012 Page 1-2 Cuitural and Historic Resources, Air Quality, Project Consistency With Adopted Plans And Policies, and Alternatives to the Proposed Project. A complete, verbatim listing of the impact and mitigation conclusions of the 2003 EIR has been prepared for each environmental topic (e.g., land use; visual factors;population, housing, and employment; transportation and circulation;biological resources; etc.) and is available for review at the City of Redwood City Community Development Department, City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, California (phone: 650-780-7234). In June 2004, the City approved a General Plan Amendment and Precise Plan rezoning permitting implementation of a variation of the 2003 EIR project, including 1,930 housing units, 50,000 square feet of local-serving commercial space (retail and restaurant), 150,000 square feet of office space, and a 200-room hotel, with a maximum building height of 20 stories (240 feet). Subsequently, a local voter referendum, Measure "Q," was passed that repealed the City's 2004 Precise Plan rezoning approval. The referendum cited a range of environmental and other concerns about the 2004 project, including issues of building height, density, traffic, estuarine fill, and public access to the waterfront. Passage of the referendum resulted in a return of the two project properties to their previous zoning designations. The Peninsula Marina property reverted back to its General Commercial(CG)zoning designation; the Pete's Harbor property reverted back to its General Commercial-Combined Residential(CG-R)zoning designation. In December 2007, the City considered an Addendum to the 2003 Marina Shores Village EIR for the Peninsula Park project (2007 Addendum), which evaluated a reduced project that proposed new development only on the Peninsula Marina property.' In addition to the proposed Peninsula Park, the Addendum evaluated the environmental impacts of future, cumulative development in the project vicinity, including a projected 412 multifamily residential units that might eventually be developed on the Pete's Harbor property, consistent with its then-current General Plan designation of General Commercial-Combined Commercial and zoning designation of General Commercial-Combined Residential(CG-R). The new Redwood City General Plan adopted in October 2010 designated the Pete's Harbor property as Mixed Use- Waterfront Neighborhood, which permits up to 40 dwelling units per acre, consistent with its CG- R zoning. The Peninsula Park project evaluated in the 2007 Addendum is now called "One Marina," which is under construction. One Marina will include 231 multifamily residential units, which is 565 fewer units than the 796 units evaluated in the 2007 Addendum. The City has received an application from RWC Harbor Communities, LLC for development of a redesigned and reduced-scale project, "Pete's Harbor Residential Community," on the 'The 2007 Addendum is available for public review at the City of Redwood City Community Development Department, 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, California (phone 650-780-7234), and on the City's website: www.redwoodcitv.orq/phed/planninq/qeninsulapark/pdf/PenPark EIR Addendum.pdf.
