7.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er May 6, 2013 SUBJECT Appeal of the Planned Development Permit and Vesting Tentative Map approved by the Planning Commission for the Pete's Harbor Project, located at 1 Uccelli Boulevard RECOMMENDATION Hold a public hearing and adopt a Resolution setting aside the Planning Commission's action of October 30, 2012 (Resolution No. 12-23) and remanding the application to the Planning Commission for action on the revised Pete's Harbor Project, and therefore denying the appeal of the Planning Commission's decision as moot (Attachment 1). BACKGROUND In July 2012, RWC Harbor Communities applied for a Planned Development (PD) Permit and Vesting Tentative Map. RWC Harbor Communities, LLC seeks to redevelop approximately 14 acres of property commonly known as Pete's Harbor. It proposes 411 multi-family residential units and associated parking, a clubhouse, a community pool, walkways, and public open space areas along Smith Slough, among other components. The Project is a modified version of a 2003 proposal to redevelop Pete's Harbor. The City (1) updated the environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by preparing an Addendum (2012) to the 2003 Environmental Impact Report (2003 EIR) and (2) analyzed the Application pursuant to the City's Zoning Ordinance. In September 2012, the Architecture Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewed the Project, recommended approval of the site plan and basic massing, and made recommendations regarding some design details, which the Applicant incorporated. In October 2012, the Planning Commission considered the CEQA analysis, including the Addendum (2012) to the EIR, and the merits of the Project. The Planning Commission considered the Addendum (2012) to the EIR and approved the Application (specifically, the PD Permit, including parking modifications permitted by the Zoning Ordinance, and the Tentative Map). An appeal to the City Council of the Planning Commission's action was filed by the "Save Pete's Harbor 2012" association (Appellant). The administrative appeal was set to be heard on January 28, 2013. Meanwhile, the Applicant was in discussions with the State Lands Commission (SLC) regarding potential lease amendments for portions of the outer marina and design review with the Bay Conservation and Development District (BCDC), as discussed
