Project Name: Granada Community Park and Recreation Center Project.
Project Sponsor and CEQA Lead Agency: Granada Community Services District 504 Avenue Alhambra, Third Floor, El Granada, CA 94018
Project Description: The District proposes a new 7.72-acre community park on a collection of parcels
known locally as the Burnham Strip. The Granada Community Park and Recreation Center Project (Project) would develop the site for recreational uses, which would include active and passive recreational zones, walking paths, fitness stations, park restrooms, outdoor showers, a dog park, small and large group picnic areas, kids’ play structures, skate ramp and related skate feature, parking areas, and a renovated and expanded community recreation center. The site would be accessed via Obispo Road. The proposed walking trails would direct pedestrians to the existing crosswalk at the intersection of Coronado Street and Highway 1, providing access to San Mateo County’s Midcoast Multi-Modal Trail (Highway 1 Parallel Trail) to the south and to Surfer’s Beach and the California Coastal Trail to the west. The Project includes interpretive, wayfinding, informational, and monument signage. The Project would also renovate and enhance two existing onsite drainage channels and expand and improve onsite vegetation.
Project Location: Project site is located between State Route 1 and Obispo Road in El Granada
(unincorporated San Mateo County). The approximate center of the Project site corresponds to 37.501592 north latitude and 122.470932 west longitude. APNs 047-262-010, 047-251-100, and 047-251-110.
Public Review and Comment Period: In accordance with the time limits provided for by state law, the public review period will extend from May 16, 2024 to June 17, 2024.
