What is the City-led Redwood Life Precise Plan and EIR process?
In July 2023, the City Council initiated a process to prepare a City-led Precise Plan and Environmental Impact Report (EIR), conduct community engagement, complete technical analysis, and analyze the community benefits that have been offered as part of the proposed Redwood Life development project. This process will consider the repeal of the existing Westport Specific Plan, replacing it with a new Precise Plan for the area, by drawing upon impartial technical analysis that will be conducted by the City consultant team in response to key environmental issues identified by community members and local stakeholders.
This collaborative planning and environmental review effort will include regular interactions with the community, clear and transparent incorporation of public input, and accessible conversations around which benefits are the most important to those who live and work in Redwood Shores and Redwood City.
