8.A. - Page 2 of 154 between the City and the developer, Strada Investment Group. These actions committed the City to vacating a portion of Maple Street in order to allow construction of the Strada townhouse development and for the developer to construct a portion of the Blomquist Extension at the developer's expense. The City plans to vacate the right-of-way only when Strada dedicates a right-of-way easement and public service easement through the development, and the improvement agreement for the Strada development is recorded. The terms of this land exchange are described within the executed DA. This public hearing is held so that City Council may hear evidence from persons interested in the matter and determine, from the evidence, whether or not the street areas proposed for vacation are necessary for present or prospective public use. ANALYSIS The City's interest in the right-of-way would be vacated as proposed, and the right-of-way would then revert to the fee owner, who is 1548 Maple, LLC. The easement proposed for vacation is more particularly described in a legal description and plat map attached to this report as exhibits to the proposed resolution. A Resolution of Intention to vacate this portion of Maple Street was adopted by the City Council on January 11, 2021. Public notification of this action was also ordered on that date. Pursuant to the California Streets & Highway Code, Section 8320 et seq., the City published and posted notice of this public hearing as required. Notices were published in the Daily Journal on January 25, 2021, and February 1, 2021. At least two notices were conspicuously posted, no more than 300 feet apart, at the site of the proposed vacation. Additionally, the City sent notices to owners of property within 300 feet of the proposed vacation and owners of affected utilities. The developer's engineer completed the final map, improvement plans, and specifications compliant with the Subdivision Map Act, City Ordinances, City Standards, the terms of the Development Agreement, and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The final map creates a five -lot subdivision for up to 131 condominium units, as well as a lot for a private street through the development. It also includes a Public Access Easement and Public Service Easement over a portion of the vacated Maple Street right-of-way, as required to fulfill the conditions of the street vacation. The project includes on-site and off-site public improvements including a Bay Trail and waterfront park along Redwood Creek, as well as the extension of Blomquist Street and the reconstruction of Maple Street along the project frontage. Public domestic water and recycled water mains will be installed within the site, as well as within Maple and Blomquist Streets. A private sewer system and private storm drain system, including stormwater treatment, will also be installed on the site. The off-site roadway improvements will include a full storm drain system, including stormwater treatment. The extension of Blomquist Road and the off-site utilities associated with this extension were addressed within the DA, and separated into three segments. The "City Segment", adjacent to the police station, will be constructed by the developer under the terms of the DA and the Subdivision Improvement Agreement. The "County Segment," which extends through the site currently owned by San Mateo County, and the "Developer Segment," which is adjacent to Highway 101, will either be constructed by the developer, or, if the City is unable to obtain authorization to construct on the County property prior to the final temporary certificate of occupancy for the project, the developer will make a payment to the City as Page 2 of 4 City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcitV.org 214
