7A Page 9 I. Purpose & Findings: The purpose of the policy is to maintain the integrity of the slopes of the Redwood Shores lagoon (interior waterway)1, assist in the maintenance of a clean water way, protect the public health and safety of Redwood Shores residents, as well as to preserve the aesthetic quality of the lagoon and surrounding neighborhoods. The slopes on the interior waterways in Redwood Shores were designed and constructed to maintain stable conditions under a range of environmental circumstances, including seismic, and to allow the lagoon to be used for aesthetic viewing, recreational activities and storm water retention. Any new construction and/or maintenance/repair of exi~g construction which alters these stable conditions (for example installing r r ," ng walls too close to the slope) could affect stability in this area. <f:~ÐL In 1977, th'ê5Qityestabl' . d a combining zoning district, Tidal Plain - Water "TP- W', in an efföftlQ. nd regulate development in, on, and over water bodies in the City (incìðålh 1;., e Redwood Shores lagoon).
