The City has historically <br />submitted the APR to the State, although it was not previously required of charter cities such as Redwood <br />City. State law, now applicable to Charter cities, also requires that the City Council and the Planning <br />Commission review the report and submit it to the State by April 1, 2020. On March 16, 2021, the Planning <br />Commission reviewed the report and recommended that the City Council accept and submit the report <br />to HCD. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />
