Inner Harbor Specific Plan and Harbor View Project Draft
4. Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures Land Use and Planning 4.9 Land Use and Planning This section addresses the physical aspects of land use and the regulatory planning framework that guides future development under the Inner Harbor Specific Plan Area (“Plan Area”) and, at a project level, the Harbor View project. The discussion focuses on the land use and planning implications of adoption of and development under both the Plan and the project. Presented is a summary of existing land uses in and around the Plan Area and project site, a list of applicable City of Redwood City General Plan land use policies, and an assessment of any conflicts of the proposed Specific Plan and the Harbor View project with the adopted General Plan and other applicable plans and policies pertaining to physical land use and planning consideration factors. 4.9.1 Environmental Setting The following description of existing land use conditions of the Plan Area and the Harbor View project summarize and in some cases elaborates on that which is presented in sections 3.2 and 3.6.1, respectively, in Chapter 3 (Project Description) of this EIR. Regional and Local Setting and Boundaries The City of Redwood City is located in eastern San Mateo County, adjacent to the San Francisco Bay, as show in Figure 3-1 (in Chapter 3, Project Description). Redwood City sits along Highway 101, approximately five miles west of the cities of Menlo Park and Palo Alto.1 . Specific Plan Area The Specific Plan Area contains approximately 99.7 acres located on the San Francisco Bay side of Highway 101, which is the southern boundary of the Plan Area. -
Port of Redwood City
Port of Redwood City Critical Port Property Management Issues Port Property Management & Pricing Seminar June 25-27, 2008 Toronto, Ontario Battling Encroachment From Development Since 1850 In the 1850’s, the Port was founded along a natural channel, “Redwood Creek”, in what is today downtown Redwood City. 70 years ago the Port relocated about two miles east due to the growth of downtown and the need to deepen the channel for larger ships. The “New Port” Seemed Safe From Encroachment By 1937, well entrenched in the so-called industrial area, the Port appeared “safe” from the kind of development encroachment that surrounded it when it was in downtown during Redwood City’s pioneering days. Nearly $1 Billion In Development Built Around The Port Since 1985 Since 1985, and continuing today, major R&D and office park development has occurred on both sides of the Port. In fact, in the past 2 years both major developments were sold to new owners – for a combined $932,000 million. And the buyers of the older R&D are pledging to spend another $100 million to upgrade, bringing the total value to more than $1 BILLION DOLLARS. PortPort of of Redwood Redwood City City Pacific Shores Seaport Centre Seaport Centre: First Major High Tech Development When this project was approved by the City Council, the Port Commission fought to win these benefits: – Three acres of land donated to the Port for use as a public boat launch ramp. – 500,000 gallons per day capacity at the local wastewater plant, which today is valued at close to $700,000. -

4.9 Land Use and Planning
Redwood City New General Plan 4.9 Land Use and Planning 4.9 LAND USE AND PLANNING This section describes existing land uses in and around the plan area, as well as applicable land use policies and regulations. Information in this section was derived from a technical land use background report, Redwood City General Plan Land Use Report, prepared in June 2008 by Hogle-Ireland, Inc., as well as CirclePoint’s reconnaissance of the plan area. 4.9.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The plan area covered by the New General Plan consists of the corporate City limits as well as lands within the City’s sphere of influence. The plan area comprises approximately 38 square miles within a diverse physical setting, with flat lands near the Bayfront area; hills in the western portion of the City; and the San Francisco Bay, stream corridors, and tidal marshes in the north and east. Current Land Use Patterns The current land use patterns reflect the diverse physical features within the plan area, with most office, commercial and residential uses south and west of U.S. 101 while most open space and industrial uses are north of U.S. 101 or in the southwestern foothill areas. The City consists of residential neighborhoods with varying densities and characters; a conventional downtown with retail, restaurant, office, and civic uses; active industrial areas, including research and development and heavy industrial uses associated with the Port of Redwood City; open space areas; and civic areas, including County offices, parks, schools, and community centers. These uses have been clustered within five distinct areas of the City reflecting their specific geographies and function, described below. -

Draft WETA Redwood City Ferry Site Assessment Report 2012-07-09
WETA Redwood City Ferry Terminal – Site Feasibility Report July 9, 2012 | DRAFT Report DRAFT DRAFT 2012-7-09 Redwood City Ferry Terminal - Site Feasibility Report July 9, 2012 | DRAFT Report Prepared for: Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) Prepared by: KPFF Consulting Engineers Subconsultants: Coast & Harbor Engineering FMG Architects DRAFT Water Emergency Transportation Authority Redwood City Ferry Terminal - Site Feasibility Report DRAFT 2012-7-09 INTRODUCTION This Site Feasibility Report document sets forth preliminary assessment of existing site conditions in support of Planning Level Concept Design and Alternative Selection for a potential ferry terminal facility for the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) in Redwood City, California. The Preliminary Concept Design to date has focused on Site Assessment and Coastal Engineering. Many of the typical project costs are similar for different WETA terminal sites, but dredging and coastal conditions can result in significant costs that vary considerably between individual sites. Since these coastal conditions are critical to consider for project viability at the proposed site, initial design work and site investigation has focused on bathymetric survey and preliminary coastal analysis. The other major focus for preliminary design included coordination with project stakeholders and establishment of site definition, including preliminary understanding of landside/waterside boundary constraints for use in concept design. Stakeholders that participated in meetings with WETA and the design team included the Port of Redwood City, San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), City of Redwood City and the San Francisco Bay Trail. General site design assumptions for the proposed Redwood City terminal are as follows: ° The site could serve as a ferry terminal for a passenger ferry route to downtown San Francisco or East-Bay (Oakland/Alameda). -
4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality
Redwood City New General Plan 4.8 Hydrology and Water Quality 4.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section discusses surface waters, groundwater resources, storm water collection and transmission, and flooding characteristics in the plan area. Key sources of information for this section include the San Francisco Bay Basin Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) prepared by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (January 2007), the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the City of Redwood City (2005), and the Unified Stream Assessment in Seven Watersheds in San Mateo County, California by the San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program (August 2008), Kennedy/Jenks/Chilton Consulting Engineers Water, Sewer Storm Drainage Master Plan dated 1986, and Winzler & Kelly’s Bayfront Canal Improvement Project Design Development Alternative Analysis, dated December 2003. 4.8.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Hydrologic Conditions The regional climate of the plan area is typical of the San Francisco Bay Area and is characterized by dry, mild summers and moist, cool winters. Average annual precipitation in the plan area is about 20 inches. About 80 percent of local precipitation falls in the months of November through March. Over the last century for which precipitation records are available, annual precipitation has ranged from an historic low of 8.01 inches in 1976 to an historic high of 42.82 inches in 1983.1 Surface Waters Figure 4.4-1 (in Section 4.4, Biological Resources) depicts surface water bodies in the plan area, which include Redwood and Cordilleras Creeks and their tributaries. Also shown are bay channels, including Westpoint Slough, Corkscrew Slough, northerly reaches of Redwood Creek, Smith Slough and Steinberger Slough, the Atherton Channel (Marsh Creek), and the Bay Front Canal. -
