<br />San Carlos - Industrial Road Study Site <br /> <br />The San Carlos - Industrial <br />Road Site is located at 767 <br />Industrial Road in the city of <br />San Carlos, between Cherry <br />Lane and Bransten Road. This <br />2.7-acre site consists of a "flag <br />lot" which does not have <br />significant frontage on <br />Industrial Road, other than the <br />access driveway that connects <br />to the site (see adjacent <br />photo). No buildings are on the <br />site, which is paved and <br />provides parking for adjacent <br />uses. <br /> <br /> <br />Access to San Mateo County Superior Court <br /> <br />The city of San Carlos is just north of Redwood City. To get to the San Mateo Superior Court from Industrial <br />Road, drivers can use the 101 Freeway, which provides the quickest route. The Brittan Avenue freeway <br />ramp is located several blocks to the south. Using this 3.1-mile route, motorists would have a travel time of <br />approximately six minutes to the court. <br /> <br />EI Camino Real offers a surface street route (see Figure 4). The San Mateo Superior Court is approximately <br />3.5 miles distant, requiring a travel time of approximately eight minutes. Another surface street route is <br />Industrial Way. Along this route, the San Mateo Superior Court is approximately 3.1 miles away, requiring a <br />nine-minute drive. <br /> <br />Surrounding Uses <br /> <br />The Industrial Road Site is surrounded predominately by industrial uses, including assembly, manufacturing, <br />and automobile-related businesses. U.S. 101 is directly east of the site, so the replacement jail would be <br />directly visible from the freeway. A single-family residential neighborhood is located approximately 400 feet <br />from the site's northwest property line, with local residential streets connecting to Industrial Road (see <br />Figure 5). <br /> <br />General Plan Land Use Designations <br /> <br />As noted above, the city of San Carlos is currently in the process of updating its General Plan and recently <br />released the Draft General Plan for public review. According to the Draft Land Use Element, the Industrial <br />Road Site is proposed to be designated Planned Industrial, which has the following description: <br /> <br />44 <br /> <br />Site I nformation for Alternative Locations for the Proposed Replacement Jail <br />September 2, 2009 <br />
