7.A. - Page 138 Pete's Harbor �,iry or neawooa�,ity EIR Addendum October 8,2012 Page 2-1 2. PROPOSED PROJECT CHANGES 2.1 CURRENT PETE'S HARBOR RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY PROJECT The Pete's Harbor project site is located on the northern edge of Redwood City on the San Francisco Bay side of U.S. Highway 101 (the Bayshore Freeway). The project location is illustrated on Figures 2.1 and 2.2. The current Pete's Harbor project application (Planned Development Permit Submittal) and subsequent clarifications describe a proposed mixed use development that would be confined to the 13.85-acre Pete's Harbor portion of the previous 46.45-acre Marina Shores Village (2003 EIR project) site. The current Pete's Harbor project application does not include the approximately 33.24-acre Peninsula Marina portion of the 2003 EIR project site.' Figure 2.3 illustrates the overall site plan for the 2003 EIR project, including the 2003 EIR project building heights. Figure 2.4 illustrates the site plan for the Peter's Harbor portion of the 2003 EIR project. In June 2004, the City approved a General Plan Amendment and Precise Plan rezoning permitting a variation of the 2003 EIR project, including 1,930 housing units, 50,000 square feet of commercial space (local-serving 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 Subsequently, a local voter referendum, Measure "Q," was passed that repealed the City's 2004 Precise Plan rezoning approval.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 (marinas), 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 approved 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 Marina Shores Village EIR identified the Pete's Harbor property as 13.21 acres while this Addendum lists 13.85 acres. The properties are identical; this Addendum incorporates the 0.60-acre access easement through the property that was calculated separately for the 2003 EIR, plus a recent recalculation that resulted in a+0.04 acre to the total site area.
