8.B. - Page 66 <br /> The minimum required private open space is 900 sf for Lots 1, 3, and 5, and 750 sf for Lots 2 and 4. <br /> The project would exceed the R2 -Residential—Duplex private open space requirement by a <br /> minimum of 313 sf on Lot 2,to over 1,000 sf on Lot 5 (see Table 5). The project site would not, <br /> therefore, conflict with Section 32.9 of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed lot coverage on each lot <br /> is below the 40 percent maximum allowable lot coverage for the R-2 Zone. The project would not <br /> appear overdeveloped in comparison to the surrounding residential neighborhood and would be <br /> compatible with the scale of surrounding residential development. (Less Than Significant Impact) <br /> The proposed project would not exceed the standard heights of two-story single-family houses. The <br /> shadows that would result from the project would be expected to occur in a residentially zoned <br /> neighborhood. The proposed project would not,therefore, result in shade or shadow impacts that <br /> would be considered incompatible with surrounding development. (Less Than Significant Impact) <br /> As discussed in Section 49 Hydrology and Water Quality, per the City of Redwood City Zoning <br /> Ordinance, Redwood Creek in the vicinity of the project site is not a protected water course,nor does <br /> it include a riparian zone. As discussed in Section 4.6 Geology and Soils, soils adjacent to the creek <br /> would not become unstable as a result of the project. The project includes filtration of runoff from <br /> the site through bioswales that run along the length of the single-family houses and the project design <br /> is not anticipated to result in significant impacts to the creek based upon review by the City <br /> Department of Engineering. The project will not,therefore,be in conflict with the City's creek <br /> protection policies. (Less Than Significant Impact) <br /> The demolition of the existing single-family residence and construction of five two-story, single- <br /> family residences would result in four net new residences added to the City of Redwood City's <br /> housing stock. The construction of these residential dwellings on the project site would not <br /> physically divide an established community within the City because it would not interfere with the <br /> movement of residents through the neighborhood or significantly change the interface between <br /> e�sting land uses. (Less Than Significant Impact) <br /> The project site is not located within any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community <br /> conservation plan. (No Impact) <br /> 4.10.3 Conclusion <br /> With approval of the proposed PD,the project would not conflict with any land use policy or result in <br /> significant land use impacts.
