BACKGROUND On December 18, 2007, the Planning Commission certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), approved the General Plan Amendment, the Zoning Map Amendment, and the Precise Plan for The Preserve at Redwood Shores (Area H). On June 17, 2007, the Planning Commission. approved the Tentative Map and the Planned Community Permit for this project. The subdivider, Keech Properties LLC, is ready to record the Final Subdivision Maps for The Preserve at Redwood Shores. The Preserve at Redwood Shores is a significant project since it subdivides the last available land in Redwood Shores known as Area H. The project will divide Area H into 7 parcels. Please see subdivision map (Attachment 1). Three of these parcelS will be deeded to the City of Redwood City, one parcel will be deeded to the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District for the new school, two parcels will be developed into townhomes, and one parcel will be deeded to the Federal Fish and Wildlife Services after the wetlands have been restored. The three parcels deeded to the City will be developed by Keech Properties LLC. One parcel will be developed as an inland waterway similar to the other lagoons in Redwood Shores. A second parcel will be developed as a municipal park. A new exterior levee will be constructed on the third parcel (Lot 5). The levee will be certified to meet the standards of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The park and levee lots will be subject to reservations for public access as required by the permit issued by the Bay Conservation and Development Commission. The work to restore the wetlands, Lot 1, will breach the existing exterior levee to return the existing area to a full tidal wetland. The restoration will be completed over time and will be performed under the supervision of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other federal and state permitting agencies. The park site, Lot 6, will be developed as a 3.2 acre neighborhood park with two tennis courts, a par1<:ing lot, a lagoon, restroom, and landscaping amenities. The park will be constructed as part of the subdivision work provided for in the Subdivision Agreement.
