Members receive $750 per month compensation per Resolution 14133. The City Council meets regularly on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, and may call additional special sessions. Section 10 of the Charter provides that "all powers granted to and vested in Redwood City by law or provisions of this Charter shall, except as herein otherwise provided be exercised by the Council, to be designated the ‘Council of Redwood City’.

  • 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.

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.

  • Red and White Fleet
    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO EDWIN M. LEE, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE APRIL 10, 2017 RED AND WHITE FLEET Application No.: LBR-2016-17-070 Business Name: Red and White Fleet Business Address: Pier 43 ½, Fisherman’s Wharf District: District 3 Applicant: Thomas Crowley Escher, President Nomination Date: February 6, 2017 Nominated By: Supervisor Aaron Peskin Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Red and White Fleet is the city’s oldest and largest operator of sightseeing cruises of San Francisco Bay. Originally founded as a cargo company in 1892 by entrepreneur Thomas Crowley, the maritime business went on to become a global success, earning it the motto, “Anything, Anywhere, Anytime on Water.” During the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, Crowley’s boats ushered San Franciscans to safety across the bay; they supported war efforts during both WWI and WWII; and they provided free transportation to some 15,000 commuters following the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Its maritime tours date to the 1915 World’s Fair, the Panama Pacific International Exposition, when the business offered its first sightseeing cruise of the San Francisco Bay. During the 1939 Golden State International Exposition held on Treasure Island, it again offered sightseeing tours, this time of the newly constructed Golden Gate and Bay bridges, launching the company’s signature Golden Gate Bay Cruise that is still popular today. Red and White Fleet’s sightseeing tours from Fisherman’s Wharf were in full swing by the 1940s. In 1973, Red and White Fleet provided ferry service to the newly debuted Alcatraz Island National Park.

    NATURAL RESOURCES Introduction Wildflowers on Bair Island Natural Resources Introduction Natural Habitat and Vision Open Space Water Resources Urban Forest Energy Conservation atural resources are all around us, whether it is the water running from our faucets or flowing through Redwood N Creek, the natural habitat where animals and birds forage for food, or the tall trees that shade our streets and cools us as we walk through a park. These resources contribute tremendously to the quality of life in Redwood City and allow residents to enjoy and experience features not found in many urban environments. We must take care as most natural resources are not replenishable. This Element focuses on preserving, protecting, conserving, re‐using, and efficiently using Redwood City’s natural resources. Redwood City General Plan Page NR-1 Introduction NATURAL RESOURCES Introduction Natural resources are the lands, minerals and fossil fuels, wildlife, plants and trees, air, water, groundwater, drinking water, and other resources Natural Resource Chapters: obtained from the Earth. Some resources are managed, such as trees Water Resources growing in a park or drinking water that is transferred via pipelines from Water Supply sources miles away. Other resources are meant to flourish through Water Conservation conservation, such as marine wildlife or the wetland grasses that thrive Recycled Water on Bair, Bird, and Greco Islands.

  • Seaports and Marine Oil Terminals
    DRAFT Assessment Chapter Contra Costa County Adapting to Rising Tides Project Seaports and Marine Oil Terminals The Bay Area is home to a significant amount of critical maritime facilities, including San Francisco’s James R. Herman Cruise Ship Terminal, harbor services, commercial fishing, excursion vessels, ship repair, vessel berthing of science, military and other vessels, cargo services, dry docks, ferry terminals in a number of communities that support commuter movement, marine oil terminals and six seaports. The region was built on this kind of maritime activity and this sector, though a smaller component of the economy and society than it once was, is still vitally important to the Bay Area for the jobs, goods and services that the sector provides, the people and goods that are moved within and outside of the region and the opportunities that the sector gives to the region. This section focuses on seaports and the role they play in moving goods in and out of the region, as an employer and as an economic catalyst and incentive for industries to locate in the region. The six seaports in the region, listed in order of the number of calls they receive each year, are located at the Port of Oakland, Port of San Francisco, Port of Richmond, Port of Benicia and Port of Redwood City. Each seaport plays a different role within the region, with the Port of Oakland’s seaport being the fifth busiest container port in the United States and handling 99 percent of the container goods that move through Northern California. The Port of San Francisco has seen a significant shift away from its role in cargo movement and towards other types of maritime uses.
