Staff is obtaining data on the number of services calls these larger facilities generate and will further analyze this once the project has been deemed complete. Questions for Council The project is very preliminary and has not undergone a detailed analysis as this only occurs after a project is deemed complete, meaning that all of the required information has been submitted. The goal of this study session is to obtain preliminary feedback from the City Council and community during this early phase to help shape the project. 1. What feedback does the Council have on the height, massing, and design of the project? 2. Are there affordable housing provisions that the Council would like to see in the project to assist the City in meeting its housing goals? 3. Is there any other feedback the City Council would like to provide regarding the project? EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT There are 2,596 households headed by elderly residents, representing 8.4% of total households and 13% of the population in Redwood City. A total of 5.5% of elderly residents are living in poverty in Redwood City (Housing Element). The proposed Senior Residential Care Facility (SRCF) would provide housing needs for seniors over 55 years old and would allow residents to age in place. This means that as the residents’ needs change, the facility would be able to continue to provide onsite care. The facility would be a full- service facility with extensive on-site amenities, including health and fitness, meals, activities, and general care. There is a total of 36 assisted living facilities in Redwood City to serve 768 residents (both non-seniors and seniors), however, there have not been any new SRCFs in Redwood City within the last ten years. While this type of facility meets the City Council’s Strategic Priority of providing housing for seniors, it does not include any affordability options. This study session provides an opportunity for early input on the project, both from the City Council and the community. The City must evaluate the project based on objective design standards. Staff is seeking input on the proposal at this preliminary stage of the project review. FISCAL IMPACT All costs associated with consideration of the project will be borne by the Applicant. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The City is reviewing the project in accordance with CEQA to determine the level of environmental analysis required. 12.A. - Page 14 of 15 318
