MIG 7.A. - Page 143 City of Redwood City EIR Addendum October 8, 2012 Page 2-6 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. Figures 2.5 through 2.14 illustrate various aspects of the new Pete's Harbor proposal. Figure 2.5 is the overall site plan. Figures 2.6 through 2.11 show site plan enlargements and sectional views, as labeled on Figure 2.5 (e.g., "Site Enlargement A," "Site Enlargement B"). Figures 2.12 through 2.14 include building sections and elevations. In particular, Figure 2.12 (Current Pete's Harbor Project--Building Sections A and B) shows that the maximum height of the proposed buildings would be 75 feet, which would be the rooftop of the parking garage (see Building 1 on Figure 2.5). The 5-story apartment building wrapping around the parking garage would be a maximum 70 feet in height. The 3-story 10-plex buildings (see Buildings 2 through 11 on Figure 2.5, plus Figure 2.14) would be a maximum 40 feet, 6 inches in height. Table 2.1 provides a land use summary for the current Pete's Harbor project, including the proposed number of acres in each land use, breakdown of residential unit types, maximum building heights, and other quantitative information. Table 2.2 provides a summary comparison of the current Pete's Harbor project with the 2003 EIR project. As shown in the tables, the current Pete's Harbor project application proposes a reduced development program for the Pete's Harbor site in comparison to the 2003 EIR project. 2.2 2003 EIR PROJECT AND PROJECT ALTERNATIVES The portion of the 2003 EIR project located within the 13.85-acre Pete's Harbor property consisted of approximately 633 housing units in an array of five 21-story residential towers (up to 240 feet in height), and numerous low-rise residential flats and townhouses, plus approximately 1.66 acres of marina (reduced from the existing 3.18 acres). As required by CEQA, the 2003 EIR also included a description and comparative evaluation of a range of alternatives to the project. Nine alternatives were described and evaluated. One of the alternatives, Alternative 6, was formulated to represent the actual, revised intentions of the applicant. Alternative 6 included project revisions to reduce EIR-identified visual, traffic, and biological impacts and improve project waterfront relationships. The Alternative 6 revisions included a reduction in maximum building height to 21 stories (236 feet), an enlarged 25,000- square-foot retail component (to "internalize" more vehicular trips), a 200-room hotel, and transit and transportation demand management (TDM) provisions to reduce peak period vehicular trips. Because Alternative 6 was assumed to represent the revised intentions of the applicant, its design characteristics and comparative impacts and mitigating effects were described in greater detail in the Alternatives chapter of the 2003 EIR in order to provide adequate CEQA documentation (i.e., minimize the need for supplemental CEQA documentation) should the City elect to approve this or a similar alternative.' The project variation approved by the City in June 2004 (see paragraph 4 in section 2.1 above) was similar to Alternative 6. 'February 2003 Draft EIR, page 17-5. T.•1106951Addenduml2(10695-01).doc
