9.A. - Page 37 <br /> City of Redwood City,Jessica Manzi <br /> March 11, 2014 <br /> Page 2 <br /> • How practical land acquisition would be in terms of cost and parcel availability,particularly <br /> with regard to the need to use eminent domain; <br /> • The feasibility of combining new development sites with agreements for shared public <br /> parking alongside the private site parking required by City code; <br /> • How centrally accessible the location would be to the core downtown attractions of the City; <br /> The effect and distribution of new traffic attracted by the facility,particularly in relation to <br /> downtown Redwood City; <br /> • The type of parkers/users that would be served by the facility; and <br /> • Other viability factors such as political sensitivity and environment concerns. <br /> City Staff and CDM Smith discussed the merits of several potential sites during the January meeting <br /> and selected the following five for initial review based on location and ownership/acquisition <br /> status: <br /> Site Location Ownership/Acquisition Status <br /> 1 Main Street Public Parking Lot Downtown City Owned <br /> 2 SamTrans Bus Station and Parking Lot South of Downtown/ Private Partnership/Joint <br /> (JPB Site) Caltrain Development <br /> 3 Franklin Street area South of Downtown/ City Purchase <br /> Caltrain <br /> 4 Jefferson Avenue/Bradford Lot North of Downtown City Purchase <br /> 5 Perry Street Lot/potential Caltrain lot South of Downtown/ City Acquisition through eminent <br /> y /p Caltrain domain' <br /> 1.

The potential parking facility was developed in separate stages,first for the Main Street Lot <br /> and second for the adjacent parcel, as each has unique design issues and constraints. <br /> Main Street Lot Site <br /> The Main Street lot has a 30,000 square foot developable footprint plus an 18,000 square foot <br /> setback due to the adjacent senior housing facility to the east. This setback will preserve an existing <br /> 40 surface spaces.A garage on this site would be four structural levels,for a total of five parking <br />
