Redwood City Costco Appeal Denied Plans for a larger Costco warehouse store and 12-pump gas station on Middlefield Road are moving forward toward a final vote after the Redwood City City Council denied the appeal of a neighborhood association that argued the environmental impact report for the project is flawed. The City Council denied the request by the Redwood Village Neighborhood Association, according to the City Clerk’s Office. The decision came late in a council meeting after hours of reports by city staff, the appellants and Costco itself along with public comment by those in the packed chambers. Costco wants to demolish its existing 120,000-square-foot warehouse at 2300 Middlefield Road and replace it with a 160,000-square-foot version and new gas station. Opponents asked the council to reverse the Planning Commission’s certification of the EIR in June because some data on which its approval was based is wrong, there wasn’t an adequate project description provided and the city didn’t consider an alternative site. The number of trips generated by the project was a key point of contention, with opponents arguing the reality far exceeds the 390 new peak trips estimated in the EIR. The traffic, they said, will bring pollution, noise and an increase of cars cutting through their residential community. The homeowners appealing the decision are not against the idea of a larger Costco but want the company and city to vacate plans for the gas station, Kathy Soulard of the neighborhood association told the council. Another problem, according to opponents, is that the city is not considering how the Stanford Outpatient Clinic on Broadway will add to cumulative traffic impacts. The city is not required to consider the clinic, Planning Manager Jill Ekas told the council during her staff report, which recommended upholding the EIR certification. The homeowners group also raised concerns about the noise and pollution of a proposed tire center. Opponents did not ask that the center be eliminated but moved from its proposed location.
