8.A. - Page 140 part of Phase I of the project, as would the planting of all proposed replacement trees in the private street along the shared side property lines between lots, and in the proposed bioswale and drainage areas. Phase I improvements also include the construction of the new paved private street, drainage infrastructure, utilities. which include sewer connections to the County's sewer system, retaining walls, and landscaping would occur during a period of one construction season (summer/fall). Phase II of the project would include the construction of the individual residences. Phase II cannot commence until Phase I has been completed to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. In this second phase the individual Planned Development permits would be reviewed by staff and granted by the Zoning Administrator, since the lots are under an acre in size. The City's past practice, for residential subdivisions involving Planned Development permits has been to grant comprehensive PDs (master) for the entire project area. The master PD would cover items such as roadways, common area improvements, utilities, landscaping, and in some cases residential buildings. Where master PDs have not addressed building design the City would then require a subsequent PD(s) prior to allowing the construction of either individual residences or groups several residences within the project area. This practice was commonplace in the build -out of Redwood Shores where a developer would typically be granted a Master PD, with a range of house sizes and floor plans with varying exterior finishes. Then either that developer or a separate builder would apply for the individual PDs in groups or phases. Following the build -out of a Planned Development permit, additions or modifications would be subject to a Planned Development Amendment, pursuant to Article 46, Section 46.10. Revised Final EIR and Errata The previously identified deficiencies have been corrected and the EIR has been revised to reference the 2011 project (see Revised Final EIR under separate cover). The responses to some of the comments have been modified as well and are reflected in the Revised Final EIR. Chapter 4 (Revisions and Errata) of the Revised Final EIR, summarizes text revisions and errata to the Draft EIR. Some changes to the project description and environmental analysis were made in response to public comments. Revisions include some changes in the project description section regarding permits needed and clarifications to mitigation measures. Neither the comments received nor the responses to those comments introduce significant new information that was not addressed or evaluated in the Draft EIR. No substantial revisions that would require recirculation of the Draft EIR, as defined by 15073.5(b) of Title 14 of CEQA, were made to the project or analyses after public comment. This chapter also reflects edits to the mitigation measures, particularly Geology -1 and Geology -2, as directed by the City Council. These two mitigation measures contained qualifying language that the mitigation measures be implemented "to the extent feasible". This specific language has been stricken from all mitigation measures. The other problem that needed to be addressed in the Final EIR is the incorrect data in Appendix C. This appendix cited the building square footage of other residences in the vicinity of the Laurel Way project. It was determined that the
