The purpose of this letter is to briefly <br /> summarize this policy as it affeets your property, Assessor's parcel number (APN), 057-301-250. <br /> The Redwood City Council established a policy in 1988 with amendments in 2000 pertaining to <br /> development on Laurel Way. The policy requires that an Environmental Impact Report (QR) be <br /> prepared to assess the potential environmental impacts of future development on Laurel Way <br /> on the west side of a Council adopted boundary line prior to permit review. The line and your <br /> property boundaries are represented on the attached map. The Environmental Review would <br /> also include consideration of comprehensive street and utilities improvement plans that would <br /> need to accompany any application. <br /> As you are aware, Laurel Way is significantly substandard; utilities are not readily available to <br /> many parcels fronting on Laurel Way; and the remaining vacant parcels on Laurel Way <br /> (including APN 057-301-250) have significant slopes, may contain unstable soils, and are <br /> blanketed with native vegetation and habitat, including he�itage oak trees. The City Council <br /> determined that these important considerations require thorough review through the analysis <br /> included in an EIR. <br /> In review of the map, you will find that your property lies within the area subject to the City <br /> Council policy requirement for an EIR. This Department is not aware of any action taken by the <br /> City Council since 1988 which would place your property in an area not requiring environmental <br /> review. This letter is consistent with the previous correspondence dated June 25, 1999, issued <br /> to you by this Department. A copy of this earlier letter is attached. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> c �G �, <br /> ��—L— <br /> Jil ever Ekas, AICP <br /> Zoning Administrator <br /> (650) 780-7298 <br /> Enclosure: Laurel Way Map and June 25, 1999 Letter <br /> Copy: City Attomey <br /> Engineering and Construction Services Manager <br /> Planning Services Manager <br />
