San Mateo County Hazard Mitigation Plan <br /> <br />287 <br />SECTION 2 - Chapter 15 <br />City of Redwood City <br />Even though the downtown development caps for office and residential have been reached, <br />development trends in Redwood City are expected to continue. The City has several newly-created <br />Mixed-Use zoning corridors (2013) that are spurring new development along El Camino Real and <br />Veterans Boulevard. Also, being a mid-peninsula stop for CalTrain as well as extensive service by <br />SamTrans, the City will likely continue to attract high-density and transit-oriented development. <br /> <br />Specific development projects completed during the 2010-2015 period include a total of 13 <br />residential and mixed use facilities, including a 305 unit residential complex, a 37,000 square foot <br />assisted living facility and a 302,000 square foot office/retail space. Future anticipated development <br />includes ten projects under construction and seven approved for construction. Notable projects <br />currently under construction as of the writing of this plan include a 130,000 square foot mixed use <br />facility, a 177 room, 109,000 square foot hotel, and a 67,000 square foot office building. <br />15.3 Capability Assessment <br />An assessment of legal and regulatory capabilities is presented in Table 15-2.
