The City of Foster City hereby gives notice that the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the 388 Vintage Park Drive Project is available for review on the City’s website at: www.fostercity.org/commdev/project/388-vintage-park-drive-ea2021-0001-rz..., as well as at City Hall in the Community Development Department, and at the Foster City Public Library. The City also invites you to attend a Public Hearing to be held on Tuesday January 25, 2022 at 7:00 pm in person or by teleconference/video conference, to provide comments on the DEIR.  

The DEIR analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the proposed redevelopment of vacant El Torito restaurant building into approximately 95,931 square feet of Life Sciences office building located at 388 Vintage Park Drive – Vintage Park Neighborhood – APN: 094-901-270 – EA2021-0001. The Draft EIR does not identify any significant and unavoidable environmental impacts from the proposed project. The proposed project would result in potentially significant impacts related to Transportation and Noise, but these impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level with implementation of identified mitigation measures. Impacts related to all other topics would be less than significant. 

Comments on the DEIR are due by 5:00 pm on January 31, 2022. If you have any questions, please contact project planner Shannon Allen via sallen@fostercity.org or at 650-286-3219.
