The Redwood City Planning Commission met on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, at 6:00 PM in the Council Chambers and via Zoom, adjourning at 8:15 PM. All seven commissioners were present; Chair Hunter recused herself from the main item due to prior service on the Subdivision Committee. Staff presentations and public testimony focused on the proposed 1 Twin Dolphin Drive research and development project. The Commission approved the project with amendments encouraging safer bike infrastructure and a raised crosswalk.
Excuse me. Um good evening, and thank you for attending and joining our October third, twenty twenty-three planning commission meeting. As a reminder, items will be taken in the order that they are listed on the agenda. Comments on other agenda items will be taken only when that item is called. For those joining virtually, you may use the raise hand feature on Zoom to speak. If you're joining the teleconference by phone, you may raise your hand by dialing star nine and then dial star six to unmute your microphone when prompted. Please only raise your hand at the time that the item on which you are speaking is called. Each speaker will be allotted three minutes. And for in-person speakers, there will be a light on the podium to let you know how much time you have left and a buzzer when the time is up. For virtual speakers, there will be a timer on the screen. Lastly, we know that we each bring different perspectives to the discussion. And we want to be sure that everyone has a chance to be heard without interruption. Planning Commission welcomes public comment on items within our purview. Any speaker whose comments are on topics not under the Commission's purview will be warned and then removed if necessary in order to allow the planning commission to conduct its business.

Item three is public comments on the approval of minutes, consent items, matters of commission interest, and items not on the agenda.
