January 20, 2021 Mayor Howard and Redwood City Council Members Chair Bondonno and Planning Commissioners C/O Diana O'dell, Senio January 20, 2021 Mayor Howard and Redwood City Council Members Chair Bondonno and Planning Commissioners c/o Diana O'Dell, Senior Planner 1017 Middlefield Road Redwood City, CA 94063 via electronic transmittal: [email protected] RE: SPUR Endorsement of Updated Plan for Sequoia Station / Redwood City Transit Sub-Area Dear Redwood City Councilmembers and Planning Commissioners: The Lowe project team originally presented the Sequoia Station project (also known as the Redwood City Transit Sub-Area) located at James Street and El Camino Real to SPUR’s Project Review Advisory Board in Fall 2019 for review and consideration. In November 2020, the Lowe project team presented us with a revised proposal for the Sequoia Station project. The SPUR Project Review Advisory Board finds the revised development proposal to be an appropriate set of uses for this location and endorses the updated Sequoia Station proposal as it is currently envisioned. SPUR is generally focused on policies, plans and codes rather than on individual projects. In order to make infill development easier, we prefer to help set good rules around zoning, fees, housing affordability, sustainability, etc. However, on occasion, our Project Review Advisory Board will review and endorse development proposals of citywide or regional importance, evaluating their potential to enhance the vitality of the city and region according to the policy priorities and principles of good placemaking supported by SPUR. We understand that Sequoia Station is a major mixed-use development project proposed for the 12+ acre Sequoia Station site located in the Redwood City Transit Sub-District. Currently occupied by a low-rise shopping center with a Safeway, CVS, Old Navy, Pier 1, Barnes & Noble and several other retail tenants, the proposed project will transform the site into a mixed-use urban center with densities and design intentions appropriate to the downtown core and on a regional transit line. As currently proposed, Sequoia Station and the adjacent Caltrain property will provide up to 1,250,000 square feet of commercial office space, up to 625 residential units, up to 175,000 square feet of neighbor-hood serving retail and a two- level below-grade parking structure. Specific to Sequoia Station, there are approximately 200-240 affordable units proposed for extremely low-, very low- and low-income residents. SPUR affirms that Sequoia Station: Is located at an appropriate location for development, near transit and infrastructure and not on a greenfield site. This downtown site sits right at the Redwood City Caltrain station, one of the Bay Area’s most important regional transit systems today and one that will be even more critical in the future after electrification and high speed rail. This plan also includes land dedication for future Caltrain expansion, which supports Caltrain's 2040 business plan and the ongoing vitality of Downtown Redwood City. Provides an appropriate mix of land uses of residential and retail, contributing to a diverse stock of housing, fostering economic development, and providing amenities and services to the surrounding community. This is the right location for concentrating jobs. Office jobs tend to cluster, and commuters are most likely to use transit when their job is close to the transit stop or station. The Sequoia Station location – in the downtown core and at a transit station – is ideal for a jobs-heavy mix of uses. The plan will maintain the site’s Safeway, add a significant amount of retail as well as 10,000 square feet of on-site daycare. In addition, the proposed project would bring a large number of new affordable housing units—fifty percent of which would be family- serving—to downtown Redwood City, close to market-rate housing. Provides sufficient density at the site supporting adjacent transit and preventing underutilization of land, serving the future needs of Bay Area residents. This project makes good use of this key downtown site, which has been until now a single-story shopping center surrounded by parking. Creates a good place for people and contributes to a walkable environment with active ground floor uses and planned improvements to the street network. We are encouraged by the project’s commitment to eliminate surface parking, improve bike lanes, create new walkable streets, incorporate art, improve connectivity and create new community gathering spaces. Notably, the updated plan will include a new central plaza; create multi-modal connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians through the implementation of the El Camino Real Corridor Plan; and enhance overall connectivity between the site, nearby neighborhoods and the Downtown Entertainment District. The SPUR Project Review Advisory Board finds this development proposal to be an appropriate set of uses for this location and endorses the updated Sequoia Station proposal as it is currently envisioned. This is a key site for transit-oriented development in the region, and this proposal shows great potential to create an exemplary station area in Redwood City and to support the city’s broader visioning process for the Transit District and central Redwood City. The downtown location and adjacency to transit make this site highly appropriate for office, and we are happy to see a significant number of affordable housing units included in the plan. SPUR appreciates the continued engagement with the project sponsor as the project has evolved in response to municipal and community feedback. We understand that this will be a challenging project to execute given the complexity of ownership and leasehold interests on the site, so we hope to be kept in the loop by the project sponsor as the proposal and design moves forward. Please do not hesitate to contact us or Kristy Wang, SPUR’s Community Planning Policy Director, with any questions or clarifications. Sincerely, Charmaine Curtis Diane Filippi Co-Chairs, SPUR Project Review Advisory Board cc: SPUR Board of Directors January 19th, 2021 Redwood City City Council 1017 Middlefield Road RE:Redwood Endorsement City, CA 94063 of the Sequoia Station Project Dear Redwood City City Council, For over 60 years, Greenbelt Alliance has helped create cities and neighborhoods that make the Bay Area a better place to live - healthy places where people can walk and bike; communities with parks, shops, transportation options; homes​ that are affordable - and defend the Bay Area’s natural and agricultural landscapes from sprawl development. Greenbelt Alliance’s “Grow Smart Bay Area” goals call for fully protecting the Bay Area’s greenbelt and directing growth into our existing communities, and accomplishing both in a way that equitably benefits all Bay Area residents. Our endorsement program helps further these goals by providing independent validation of smart infill housing (development of vacant land within urban areas) and mixed-use projects (allowing for various uses like office,Greenbelt commercial Alliance and is pleasedresidential). to conceptually endorse the proposed Sequoia Station project This mixed-use development over 12 acres by Lowe and Eden Housing will add anywhere from 500-640 residential units while also dedicating land for Caltrain rail line expansion​ to be redeveloped into neighborhood serving retail, open space, and above-grade commercial office space. The project has a commitment for deep affordability, including a partnership with Eden Housing that will provide a 100% affordable housing project expected to provide 200-240 affordable units, far beyond the required 20%. The project site is well located directly adjacent to the Redwood City Caltrain Station as well as the El Camino Real corridor. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that the land-use potential is maximised. This currently underutilized area will contribute to the City’s vision for high quality, higher-density development and mixed-use opportunities. This project will encourage a walkable and vibrant community in Redwood City for residents across the income spectrum, provide a public open space and family-friendly retail uses, support the local economy, and offer a host of other environmental and quality of life benefits. This is the kind of climate-smart development that we need in the Bay Area to meet our housing goals, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and make sure that local residents are able to grow and thrive in their own communities. In closing, the development of the Sequoia Station project is another smart step for the City of Redwood City to ensure the creation of homes and vibrant communities near jobs, retail, and transit. We hope its approval will inspire communities around the Bay Area to redouble their efforts to grow smartly. Sincerely, Zoe Siegel Director of Climate Resilience, Greenbelt Alliance January 20, 2021 Mayor Howard, Vice Mayor Hale, and City Council Members c/o Diana O’Dell, Senior Planner of Redwood City City of Redwood City, Community Development Department RE: Transit District and Sequoia Station Discussion – January 25, 2021 Mayor Howard, Vice Mayor Hale, and City Council Members, The Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County’s mission is to work with communities and their leaders to produce and preserve quality affordable homes. As such, ​the Housing Leadership Council , wants to provide our support for the Transit District planning process and Sequoia Station project​ which we understand City Council will be discussing at their upcoming January 25, 2021 meeting. Based on public statements from Caltrain, the Transit District is the only location they have identified as a viable option in Redwood City to implement their 2040 business plan. This expansion will serve not only Redwood City, but the entire service area of Caltrain. The Sequoia Station project is a critical piece of Redwood City’s Transit District Area Plan as it unlocks these transportation improvements. Importantly, ​the project provides the city with much needed and reimagines Sequoia Station as a regional, transit-focused downtown destination. Priority housing ​ ​ ​ and support must be given projects like Sequoia Station that offer the greatest impact on the creation of affordable housing and transportation infrastructure in Redwood City.

  • Caltrain TIRCP Application Jan
    PENINSULA CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY APPLICATION FOR 2018 TRANSIT AND INTERCITY RAIL CAPITAL PROGRAM FUNDS PROJECT NARRATIVE A. Project Title Page Project Title: Peninsula Corridor Electrification Expansion Project The Peninsula Corridor Electrification Expansion Project (EEP) includes a series of incremental investments in the 51-mile Caltrain Corridor between the 4th and King Station (San Francisco) and the Tamien Station (San Jose). These investments are focused on expanding and fully converting Caltrain’s mainline diesel fleet to electric trains. This investment builds on and leverages the existing Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) and supports the goals of the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP), providing increased capacity and service flexibility, supporting state and interregional connectivity, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through elimination of diesel service from the mainline Peninsula Corridor. In addition to providing immediate, direct benefits, the EEP also represents an incremental step within a larger program of development that will evolve the Peninsula Corridor in a way that supports the ridership, service levels, and connectivity goals contemplated in the draft 2018 State Rail Plan. The central component of Caltrain’s 2018 TIRCP application is the purchase of 96 additional Electric Multiple Units (EMU). This procurement will fully exercise all available options under Caltrain’s current contract with Stadler and will provide sufficient EMUs to fully electrify Caltrain’s mainline fleet, while also sustaining and expanding capacity to accommodate growing demand. In addition to requesting funds for the purchase of EMUs, Caltrain is also requesting a smaller amount funding for a series of associated projects that will equip the corridor to receive and operate a fully electrified fleet in a way that allows the railroad to reap the maximum benefit from its investments.

  • Item No. 1 Town of Atherton
    Item No. 1 Town of Atherton CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – STUDY SESSION TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL RAIL COMMITTEE GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER FROM: ROBERT OVADIA, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: JANUARY 9, 2019 SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND FEEDBACK REGARDING THE CALTRAIN BUSINESS PLAN, FUTURE TRAIN SERVICE IN ATHERTON, AND RAIL POLICY RECOMMENDATION Discuss and provide feedback regarding the Caltrain Business Plan (currently under development), service scenario alternatives at the Atherton Caltrain Station, and Rail Policy in Atherton. BACKGROUND In 2018, Caltrain launched the development of its 2040 Business Plan with a goal of addressing the future potential of their rail service over the next 20-30 years. The Business Plan is intended to assess the benefits, costs, and impacts of different service visions and ultimately build the case for investments and a plan for implementation. Caltrain discontinued weekday train service at the Atherton Caltrain Station in August 2005. Weekend service at the Station continues. The Caltrain Modernization Program (CalMod) includes electrification and other projects that are intended to upgrade the performance, efficiency and capacity of Caltrain service along the service corridor. Construction of the electrification project has begun along the corridor, including the installation of pole foundations in Atherton. Caltrain intends to begin passenger service with electric trains in early 2022. Previously, Caltrain had committed to resume weekday service in some form with the implementation of their electric passenger train service. This service commitment is echoed in its environmental documents for the electrification project. In May 2018, the Council adopted Resolution 18-11 rescinding and replacing Resolution 15-10 titled “A Resolution of the City Council of the Town of Atherton Establishing and Governing Town Committees” including an attachment of the City Council’s adopted Rail Related Policy Issues.
