A. Senator Campbell's Bill, SB 1691, use of armories as temporary winter shelters. Presentation by Councilwoman Gasparini (301-08) REPORT: Councilwoman Gasparini's Memo to Council, August 10, 1994 Councilwoman Gasparini described her meeting with Senator Campbell and representatives from San Mateo and San Bruno, the other two cities on the peninsula with armories. Councilwoman Gasparini advised that authorized use of state armories for temporary homeless shelters would soon expire, and Senator Campbell's bill, SB 1691, would continue the state's authority to use armories for temporary homeless shelters regardless of the host city's wishes. (An exception could be made if that use did not conform to the City's zoning ordinances; however, the State and the County's authority supersede the City's, and either one could preempt.) Councilwoman Gasparini added that Senator Campbell stated he was willing to listen to suggestions that would help reach the goal of providing more, or at least as many, beds as currently exist. Councilwoman Gasparini advised she would keep the Council informed, and asked that the Planning Department research the zoning designation of the Redwood City armory.

Review Survey Area boundaries of the 101 Corridor Project Area, consider alternatives and take appropriate action (from August 15, 1994);(1401-21) REPORT: Housing and Redevelopment Director, August 29, 1994 Housing and Redevelopment Agency Director Church reviewed Council action of August 15, 1995, and advised that Council had asked to reconsider this matter at a time the entire Council was present, to determine exactly what boundaries the Council wished to establish for this survey area, if any. The report listed six alternatives. Councilman Claire provided a historical perspective of the zoning decisions in the Friendly Acres neighborhood; and recommended that Council take advantage of this opportunity to establish a survey area in an industrial part of Redwood City abutting the unincorporated County area large enough to encompass any possible future developments. Councilman Sanfilipo stated that most of the proposed Survey Area is not blighted as required by Redevelopment Law, and expressed concern that current property owners in the proposed Survey Area would suffer economically when possible buyers discovered the area might become part of a redevelopment project.
