<br />Menlo Park - Haven Avenue Study Site <br /> <br />The Menlo Park - Haven <br />Avenue Site, located at 3633- <br />3655 Haven Avenue in the <br />city of Menlo Park, <br />encompasses 4.7 acres. <br />Redwood City's corporate <br />boundary follows Haven <br />Avenue; thus, this site is <br />located across the street <br />from Redwood City. U.S. <br />Highway 101 passes north- <br />south just to the west, and <br />the salt harvesting ponds to <br />the east (just visible in the <br />adjacent aerial photo) transition to San Francisco Bay. The site is currently vacant and located in an <br />industrial area, as shown on the aerial photo. High-tension power lines cross the center of the site. <br /> <br /> <br />Access to San Mateo County Superior Court <br /> <br />Menlo Park is located adjacent to Redwood City. To get to the San Mateo Superior Court from the Haven <br />Avenue Site, the 101 Freeway would provide the quickest route. The 101 Freeway Marsh Road ramp is <br />immediately to the south, accessible via Haven Avenue. Taking this route, vehicles would travel 3.6 miles to <br />the court, with a travel time of approximately seven minutes. <br /> <br />An alternative to the freeway route is Bay Road (see Figure 3). Taking this route, a vehicle would travel the <br />4.1 miles, with a travel time of approximately 14 minutes. <br /> <br />Surrounding Uses <br /> <br />The site is located in an industrial area of Menlo Park. Varied industrial businesses operate adjacent to the <br />site and across Haven Avenue in Redwood City. North of the site is a public storage warehouse and a flood <br />control channel connected with the San Francisco Bay. Bay Front Park is located just northeast of the site. <br />A mobile home park is located one-quarter mile to the north in unincorporated San Mateo County (within <br />Redwood City's sphere of influence). The Friendly Acres Neighborhood, a residential area in Redwood City, <br />is located immediately across the U.S. 101. <br /> <br />General Plan Land Use Designations <br /> <br />The city of Menlo Park's General Plan Land Use Plan designates the site as Limited Industrial.
