MIG F 8.A. - Page 219 City of Redwood City Revised Elm Huaenaurn January 22, 2014 Page 2-6 October 2010 designated the Pete's Harbor property as Mixed Use-Waterfront Neighborhood, which permits up to 40 dwelling units per acre, consistent with its CG-R zoning. The Peninsula Park project evaluated in the 2007 Addendum is now called "One Marina," which is under construction and partially occupied. One Marina will include 249 multifamily residential units, which is 547 fewer units than the 796 units evaluated in the 2007 Addendum. Figures 2.5 through 2.17 illustrate various aspects of the current Pete's Harbor proposal. Figure 2.5 is the overall site plan. Figures 2.6 through 2.12 show site plan enlargements and sectional views, as labeled on Figure 2.5 (e.g., "Site Enlargement A," "Site Enlargement B"). Figures 2.13 and 2.14 illustrate the public access components of the proposed project, such as bike, pedestrian, and water trails (including a connection to the Bay Trail), overlooks/seating areas, the hand launch boat area, and public parking. Figures 2.15 through 2.17 include building sections and elevations. In particular, Figure 2.15 (Current Pete's Harbor Project--Building Sections A and B) shows that the maximum height of the proposed buildings would be 75 feet, which would be the top deck of the parking garage (see Building 1 on Figure 2.5). The 5-story apartment building wrapping around the parking garage would be a maximum 70 feet in height (also see Figure 2.16). The 3-story 10-plex buildings (see Buildings 2 through 11 on Figure 2.5, plus Figure 2.17) would be a maximum 45 feet in height. Table 2.1 provides a land use summary for the current Pete's Harbor project, including the proposed number of acres in each land use, breakdown of residential unit types, maximum building heights, and other quantitative information. Table 2.2 provides a summary comparison of the current Pete's Harbor project with the 2003 EIR project. As shown in the tables, the current Pete's Harbor project application proposes a reduced development program for the Pete's Harbor site in comparison to the 2003 EIR project. The proposed development plans include the off-site installation of a new 460 linear-foot-long bicycle and pedestrian trail connection on the west side of Uccelli Boulevard that would link the proposed on-site public trails with (from north to south) the recently completed Bair Island Bridge to Inner Bair Island, the Bay Trail extension along the Bair Island Wildlife Refuge, the One Marina Trail, the future Redwood Creek Trail, the future Highway 101 undercrossing to Downtown, and the future Blomquist Bridge and Bay Trail extension. 2.2 2003 EIR PROJECT AND PROJECT ALTERNATIVES The portion of the 2003 EIR project located within the 13.85-acre Pete's Harbor property consisted of approximately 633 housing units in an array of five 21-story residential towers (up to 240 feet in height), and numerous low-rise residential flats and townhouses, plus approximately 1.66 acres of marina (reduced from the existing 3.18 acres). As required by CEQA, the 2003 EIR also included a description and comparative evaluation of a range of alternatives to the project. Nine alternatives were described and evaluated. One of the alternatives, Alternative 6, was formulated to represent the actual, revised intentions of the applicant. Alternative 6 included project revisions to reduce EIR-identified visual, traffic, and biological impacts and improve project waterfront relationships.
