11/15/24 (P:\M-S\RWC2101.04 Docktown CE\PRODUCTS\Docktown_CEMemo_20241115.docx) 2 Project Location The existing Docktown Marina (project site) is located adjacent to and north of the private development project proposed for development at 1548 Maple Street, east of U.S. 101 in the City of Redwood City. The project site is located on waters and tidelands commonly known as Redwood Creek and/or Steinberger Slough (referred to herein as Redwood Creek). Redwood Creek is an inlet to the southern portion of the San Francisco Bay. Regional vehicular access to the site is provided by U.S. 101, via the Woodside Road on- and off-ramps located to the east. Direct local access is via Maple Street, Blomquist Street approximately 0.2 miles to the east, and Veterans Boulevard about 0.5 miles to the south of the project site. In 1945, the City acquired the portion of waters and tidelands, on which Docktown Marina is located, from the State of California, pursuant to a statutory grant, to hold in trust for the people of the State of California and pursuant to the Public Trust Doctrine. The State Lands Commission (SLC) retains regulatory oversight. The project site consists primarily of the existing floating dock infrastructure, as well as a portion of land at the north end of the existing marina that would be used as a temporary staging area during deconstruction activities. Figure 1 shows the regional and local context of the project site. Figure 2 depicts an aerial photograph of the project site and surrounding land uses. Figures 1 and 2 are provided in Attachment A. Existing Conditions The marina occupies submerged lands, which are part of Redwood Creek and currently consist of approximately 2,000 linear square feet of floating dock area, including ramps with approximately 95 berths. The floating dock is supported by steel/wood and concrete pillars which will be left in place. Surrounding Land Uses The project site is bounded by vacant land (future residential development project) and Maple Street to the south and east, and Redwood Creek to the north and west. North of Redwood Creek is the One Marina condominium development, which was completed in 2014 and includes 249 units. Land uses further to the north consist of residential, industrial, and marina-oriented uses, followed by tidal lands and San Francisco Bay. Land uses further east include the Redwood City Police Department, vacant City-owned property, and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Correctional Center. To the east of the Correctional Center is a 27-acre area that is proposed for development with approximately 1,000,000 square feet of office improvements. South of the future residential development project is U.S. 101. Across U.S. 101, land uses consist of commercial and retail uses and the meandering Redwood Creek. Downtown Redwood City is located approximately 1 mile to the south. 6.G. - Page 6 of 45 184
