PROJECT TITLE: City of Redwood City 2015 -2023 Housing Element PROJECT LOCATION - Specific: All properties within the City of Redwood City; located within San Mateo County. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project is the adoption and implementation of the Redwood City 2015 -2023 Housing Element, which represents an update to the City's adopted 2007 -2014 Housing Element. The Housing Element is one of seven required elements of the General Plan. It addresses existing and future housing needs of persons in all economic segment groups and serves as a tool for decision - makers and the public in understanding and meeting housing needs in Redwood City. The proposed Housing Element addresses future residential development to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the 2014 -2022 planning period, consistent with adopted land use policy. The Housing Element is a policy document and does not authorize any particular design, plan, or project proposing construction of new or redevelopment residential units. PROJECT IMPACTS: The environmental analysis provided in the Initial Study indicates that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment as the proposed Housing Element does not involve physical development, require any construction or demolition activities, or change any land use designation or zoning district in a manner that could lead to increased residential densities or intensities beyond that which is supported by the existing General Plan Built Environment Element.
