Redwood Life Precise Plan

Redwood Life Precise Plan

The project includes repeal of the existing Westport Specific Plan and the adoption of the new Precise Plan to replace it. The project is consistent with the property’s General Plan land use designation. However, in order to establish the new Precise Plan, the property would be rezoned to precise plan zoning. The project applicant proposes to demolish the existing 20 life science buildings and associated surface parking in order to construct 11 life science buildings totaling approximately 2.731 million square feet (a net increase of 1.764 million square feet compared to existing conditions), an approximately 20,000 square-foot community amenity center within one of the life science buildings, an approximately 104-room hotel, and four parking garages. The life science buildings would range from five- to six-stories tall with a maximum roof height of approximately 100 feet (and approximately 120 feet to the top of the mechanical equipment screening). The hotel would be five-stories tall, with a maximum roof height of approximately 85 feet (and approximately 95 feet to the top of the mechanical equipment screening). The life science and hotel buildings would also include signage on the outside. The parking garages would be five- to eight-levels tall, with a maximum height of approximately 77 feet. The project proposes a total of approximately 42.4-acres of open space throughout the project site, including 38.7-acres of privately-owned, publicly-accessible (POPA) open space. The project also proposes to construct sea-level rise improvements along the existing levee on Belmont Slough and will construct new infrastructure and utility improvements on- and off-site. Vehicular access to the project site would be provided via the Bridge Parkway and Marine Parkway, Island Drive and Marine Parkway, and the Bridge Parkway and Shell Parkway intersections. The project would construct several new public, internal roadways to distribute traffic and facilitate circulation throughout the project site. The project includes design features and contributions towards the community benefits such as affordable housing, sea-level rise resiliency, transportation demand management program, open space, community amenity center, sustainability, childcare, union labor, and bay trail gap improvements.
