SITE DESCRIPTION: The three parcels total approximately 70 acres. The site is characterized by fiat land that was diked and altered over time to serve human uses. There are bio-solids drying beds and service roads on the SBSA site, and existing radio antennas and auxiliary equipment on the Susquehanna site. The Church is currently remodeling the building on its property. ADJACENT LAND USES: Immediately across the street is a two story office building, and beyond the lagoon are single family residences. SPECIAL STUDY AREA: No FLOOD HAZARD AREA: Zone "B" Subject to flooding 100 - 500 years DEPARTMENTS COMMENTING: PROJECT ANALYSIS: BACKGROUND SPECIFIC PLAN On January 26, 2000, the Redwood City Zoning Administrator approved a Conditional Use Permit for a Church ("Fully Alive Community Church") at 1406 Radio Road. Redwood Shores Owners Association ("RSOA') subsequently appealed the Conditional Use Permit to the City Council because it believed that a Specific Plan should have been prepared prior to any City approvals for the property. RSOA eventually withdrew the appeal when an agreement was reached among the Church, South Bayside System Authority (SBSA), and RSOA to prepare a Specific Plan~. The Redwood Shores Bayfront Specific Plan is a document that describes the future build-out of the area and describes some of the proposed land uses. (Copies of the Specific Plan were sent to you last year under separate cover). It includes text and diagrams which describe the proposed land use, circulation, overall design standards, roadway and infrastructure improvements, and implementation measures; Some of the highlights of the Redwood Shores Bayfront Specific Plan are: · A proposed maximum 16,000 sq. ft. worship center on the church site (Fully Alive Community Church) · Wetland restoration and enhancement (SBSA) · Pedestrian access trail (SBSNFully Alive Community Church) · Tree screen and Radio Road frontage improvements (SBSA) · Research facility (SBSA) · Bio-solids drying 'beds and up to three 100-ft. diameter tanks to store recycled water (SBSA) 1 According to the agreement the Conditional Use Permit is considered "temporary" until the Specific Plan is approved by the City. The Zoning Administrator will also have to approve a "permanent" use permit if and when the Specific Plan is approved.
