Redwood City residents who are still planning to submit redistricting maps to the city council for consideration have until Wednesday, according to information from the city.
At last week's public hearing, the city council advanced Draft Plan C2 with modifications that included adding the mobile home parks along East Bayshore Road into Friendly Acres. The vote passed with six votes, former mayor Diane Howard dissenting.
The council will reconvene to vote on advancing a map during the Feb. 14 city council meeting, which will be formally adopted two weeks later. By law, the city has until April 14 to submit a final map to the county.
Plan C2 divides 10 neighborhood associations, while keeping seven intact, according to the staff report. It keeps Redwood Shores in one single district and Farm Hill and Canyon in another. The map keeps portions of Eagle Hill, Central and Roosevelt together around Red Morton Park and groups portions of Woodside Plaza with Palm.
Other maps discussed were Plan B, also recommended by the Advisory Redistricting Committee, as well as three publicly submitted maps, Map ID 93875, 95144 and 99395, with slight deviations.
The city plans to hold a 5th public hearing on redistricting on Feb. 14 to consider the following maps:
- Draft Plan B Recommended by ARC
- Draft Plan C2 Recommended by ARC
- Draft Plan C3 Based upon Draft Plan C2 recommended by ARC, as amended by the City Council on Jan. 24, 2022, with specific modifications to include all mobile home parks along East Bayshore Road in a single district
- Draft Plan 93875 Publicly Submitted following ARC recommendations
- Draft Plan 95144 Publicly Submitted following ARC recommendations
