Veterans Memorial Senior Center/YMCA

The Veterans Memorial Building/Senior Center and Sequoia YMCA project, managed by the City of Redwood City at 1455 Madison Avenue, involves the development of a community complex. The scope of work includes a zoning map amendment, the demolition of existing on-site improvements, and the construction of a 45,000 square foot Veterans Memorial Building/Senior Center and a 36,353 square foot YMCA building. The project also encompasses the creation of surface parking areas and the implementation of off-site traffic calming measures. Recent modifications to the project include an increase in the YMCA building's square footage from 35,000 to 36,353, the removal of a planned driveway on Valota Road, and adjustments to the surface parking arrangement. Additionally, the project specifies the excavation and off-hauling of 10,000 cubic yards of soil during construction. The City of Redwood City approved the project on November 10, 2025, and filed a Notice of Determination on November 17, 2025, certifying that the project will not result in significant new environmental effects beyond those analyzed in the original 2019 Environmental Impact Report.
