To: MGR-ENEWS@...

Here’s a quick note to let you know that the City Council and Planning Commission will hold a special Joint Study Session on July 27^th to officially unveil and discuss Redwood City’s Draft New General Plan – it’s another opportunity for you to participate in creating this plan for the future of our community.

· WHEN: Monday, July 27^th, 6 pm

· WHERE: City Council Chambers

City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road

At 6 pm there will be a special “open house” in the lobby of City Hall where you can enjoy light refreshments, browse informational displays, and informally talk with staff about the draft New General Plan. Then at 7 pm the official Study Session starts in the Council Chambers, offering an overview presentation, discussion, and time for questions and answers. Please see the attached PDF for a listing of the Elements to be included in Redwood City’s New General Plan.

The purpose of this Study Session is for the City Council, the Planning Commission, and community members to discuss and comment on the different sections or “Elements” of the draft New General Plan. Based on the discussion, the Council and Commission will give staff guidelines for the next steps in preparation of the draft Elements and Plan.

This is not a final decision-making point; the draft Elements and Plan will come back to the Council and public for final review at a later date.

As you know, the Draft Elements are based on a great deal of previous community discussion. This is an opportunity for another full public review and dialogue to ensure the elements fit with the community’s vision for the future. The draft Elements and other information about this blueprint for the future are posted for public review on the City’s New General Plan website, which is at www.redwoodcity.org/generalplan (not all Elements/Chapters are posted on the website as of this notice, but will be provided as soon as they are available). More information is also available by calling 650-780-7234.

The New General Plan is being created right now, with the community’s direct involvement – you are an important part of guiding our community’s future, so we hope to see you there.

Thanks,

~ malcolm
