City of Redwood City Focused General Plan Update

The City of Redwood City conducts regular reviews and proposes Zoning Code and Municipal Code amendments in order to: 1) ensure the codes and their provisions remain clear and accessible to the public, staff, and decisionmakers; 2) ensure the code remains internally consistent with the General Plan, City policies, and State law, and; 3) as necessary to implement minor policy updates.

Waived the first reading and introduced an ordinance amending the Municipal Code to implement the 2023-31 Housing Element, development review streamlining, and Municipal Code maintenance; and 3.
