The new site is located approximately 1,000 feet from the 1601 EI Camino Real Project site. The City of Redwood City Planning and Housing Division requested that the Consultant prepare an augmented scope of work to provide analysis of the existing historic -age building (constructed in 1956) at 1304 EI Camino Real to determine if the building is an historical resource for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Vollmayer Local History Room at the Redwood City Downtown Library including historic photographs, maps, aerials, directories, and other relevant sources of information. The fieldwork will be conducted consistent with a project -specific health and safety plan prepared by Consultant prior to the survey. The fieldwork and local research will occur on the same day.
