The primary differences between the 2012 project and the current Project are a) the elimination of the outer marina, b) the reconfiguration of the inner marina, inclusive of the change from a private marina (available only to project residents) to a publically accessible commercial marina, c) the incorporation of a hand boat launch, d) the accommodation of additional parking spaces for the commercial marina, and e) revisions to the public access trail including additional landscaping and amenities. It should also be noted that approximately 50 feet of the western edge of the project area is owned by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife, with a recorded access easement which the City has on file as part of the PD application. The City has been in contact with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, as property owners, and has received both email correspondence as well as formal written confirmation that the agency has no opposition to the project, including the improvements for public access that fall within the recorded easement. The letter, dated March 17, 2014, also confirms Anne Morkill, Refuge Manager, as having authority to make such determinations. (See Attachment 12). History of Project and Environmental Review 2004 Marina Shores Village: In 2004, the City approved the "Marina Shores Village" project (MSV), which included development of two sites: Pete's Harbor and the Peninsula Marina. In total the project included 1,930 housing units, a 200-room hotel, 25,000 square feet of retail, and 150,000 square feet of office space on two waterfront sites with marina amenities. Building forms included low-rise, mid-rise, and most significantly, 17 240-foot high towers. As part of the MSV project review, an Environmental Impact Report was certified (which can be referenced on the City's website at www.redwoodcity.org) and a Precise Plan was prepared to govern the land use and design regulations for the entire project area.
