7.A. - Page 39 Chapter 3 Project Description The objectives of the project described in the 2007 FEIR have not changed.This chapter describes the proposed modifications to the fueling center that were approved with certification of the 2007 FEIR.All other components of the project described in the 2007 FEIR have not changed. Proposed Modifications The proposed modifications consist of expanding the existing Costco fueling center from three islands and 12 fueling stations to five islands and 20 fueling stations.The additional fueling stations are proposed along the north side of the existing fueling center.The proposed modifications include the extension of the existing concrete slab by 56 feet and the existing canopy by 64 feet to cover the additional islands. Onsite circulation would be modified to provide improved egress from the fueling center to parking. The existing fueling center currently employs one supervisor,three full time employees,and two "float"employees who cover breaks.No new employees would be required for the proposed modifications to the fueling center. Parking and Circulation The proposed modifications would include reconfiguring the existing parking and vehicle circulation adjacent to the existing fueling center. Fifteen parking spaces adjacent to the existing facility and a landscape planter would be removed to accommodate the additional islands.To improve onsite circulation,a new drive aisle would be created by removing six spaces within a double row of parking on the east side of the fueling center.Two new end island landscape planters would be constructed as part of the new driveway aisle.A portion of the double row of parking adjacent to the facility would be angled at 52.5 degrees with a 15-foot one-way drive aisle to accommodate the additional fueling stations and improve onsite circulation.As part of the proposed modifications,a total of 21 existing parking spaces would be relocated onsite so that the overall parking count for the warehouse would not be reduced. In order to accommodate the relocation of these 21 parking spaces, 260 oversized existing parking spaces measuring 10 feet wide would be restriped to a width of 9 feet.The Site Plan (see Figure 3-2) depicts the location of the parking spaces that would be restriped to accommodate replacement parking. The existing parking for the warehouse includes 459 10-foot-wide stalls,270 9-foot-wide stalls,and 16 handicapped parking spaces,for a total of 745 spaces.The proposed modifications would provide 191 10-foot-wide stalls, 540 9-foot-wide stalls,and 16 handicapped parking spaces for a total of 747 spaces. Landscaping The landscaping considered as part of the certification of the 2007 FEIR included a 1,178 sf planter located adjacent to the fueling center,which along with other landscape islands throughout the Addendum No.2 to the Environmental Impact Report for September 2012 the Redwood City Costco Wholesale Project 3-1 ICF 00154.12
