B.A. - Page 248 Pete's Harbor <br /> airy or rceawooa i,i y Revised EIR Addendum <br /> January 22, 2014 Page 3-7 <br /> • Because the Peninsula Marina (One Marina) property is no longer part of the project, the <br /> project development area would be reduced from 46.45 acres to 13.85 acres, a reduction of <br /> approximately 70 percent. The tallest buildings in the One Marina project, under <br /> construction and partially occupied, will be 60 feet in height. <br /> • The tallest multi-story buildings on the Pete's Harbor site would be reduced from a maximum <br /> height of 240 feet (5 buildings) to 75 feet (1 building), a height reduction of about 69 percent, <br /> and the mid-rise building heights would be reduced from 74-84 feet to 45 feet, a reduction of <br /> approximately 39 to 46 percent. <br /> • Overall, the project's maximum building heights in comparison to the existing "visual base <br /> plane" in the project vicinity (i.e., the approximately 50-foot-high general visual plane created <br /> by existing buildings, trees, overpasses, and other structures)would be reduced from <br /> approximately 4.8 times higher for the 2003 EIR Pete's Harbor component to approximately <br /> 1.5 times higher for the current project. Because the One Marina project under construction <br /> and partially occupied (originally the Peninsula Marina component of the 2003 Marina <br /> Shores Village project) will include buildings up to 60 feet in height, this impact analysis <br /> based on a visual base plane of 50 feet is conservative. <br /> Comparing the building mass of the tallest buildings in the two projects gives a general sense of <br /> basic visual impact, since the tallest buildings would be visually prominent above the 50-foot <br /> visual base plane from both proximate and distant viewpoints. The 2003 EIR Pete's Harbor <br /> component contained five buildings at 240 feet. Assuming that these buildings would have had <br /> a width of approximately 100 feet per side, the 2003 EIR project would have resulted in <br /> approximately 9.5 million cubic feet of building mass extending above the 50-foot base plane.' <br /> The current Pete's Harbor project proposes one building above the base plane, at a height of <br /> 70-to-75 feet, resulting in approximately 4.8 million cubic feet of building mass extending above <br /> the base plane,2 an approximately 49 percent reduction in comparison to the 2003 EIR Pete's <br /> Harbor component. <br /> 15(100 x 190 x 100) = 9.5 million cu. ft. <br /> 21(722 [approx. length of wraparound bldg.] x 25 x 265 [approx. width of wraparound bldg.]) =4.8 <br /> million cu. ft. This is a worst-case calculation because it assumes a solid visual mass of 75 feet in height <br /> with no setbacks or stepbacks in the wraparound building/parking garage. <br /> T:I10695 Pete's Harbor EIR Addendumlrevised addendum no 213(10695-01).doc <br />
