Continue the Public Hearing on the Appeal to a date certain in order to afford the Applicant sufficient time to provide clarity regarding the State Lands Commission's leases on the proposed use of the outer marina area. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY DENYING APPEAL AND APPROVING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AND VESTING TENTATIVE MAP FOR THE PETE'S Ht4RBOR PROJECT Mayor Aguirre reiterated that the public hearing will be continued to May 6, 2013 but Council would hear public comment on just the continuance. Public Comment James Lee opined that whatever decisions are made all the 144 tenants, boaters, "RVers," are a part of it and that they should be reached out to. He said he personally feels the delay indicates that there are too many moving parts for it to be fast-tracked and opined that he would have liked the appeal to be voted on tonight, but he understands why it is being continued and hopes that in the future public input will taken to heart. Brett Garrett said he supports the tenants who live at Pete's Harbor and he opposes the development in light of sea level rise. He requested that no one be evicted between now and May. Isak Lerner asked that the appeal, initial decision to approve this project and the eviction of the tenants be delayed as the right thing to do because just delaying the appeal would mean all the tenants would leave the harbor. He asked the city to help delay everything. Tal Raveh spoke in support of Isak Lerner's request to delay the appeal and the eviction of people. She related how people were given notice to leave in November because the marina would be shut down, but now she believes they were misinformed because the water of the San Francisco Bay is under the jurisdiction of the State Lands Commission and she asked for consideration for what happened as unjust and she said that it can be corrected now. Dr. Bell made some clarifying comments that the city has known that the land in question was state land and that the city has no purview in regards to the transfer between the state lands commission and the property owner. Council Member Foust asked if there is anything in writing confirming that Save Pete's Harbor and the developer wanted to postpone, and Dr. Bell said that there is an email from Ms. Madden and the developer. Dr. Bell wanted to clarify for the record that it was the appellant and the developer that requested the postponement of the project via email.
