Wheeler Plaza Project Update to Be Held Friday

The proposal calls for replacement surface parking and existing buildings with a new mixed-use development, which would include a 108-unit apartment building.

The public is invited to attend the San Carlos Government Affairs Council meeting Friday, Jan. 11 for an update on the proposed Wheeler Plaza Redevelopment project.

The city's Community Development Director, Al Savay and Economic Development & Housing Manager Mark Sawicki, will be present the update at the meeting that will begin at 8 a.m. in the Community Meeting Room at the San Carlos Library.

Wheeler Plaza is a 2.4 acre site located at the southwest corner of San Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street. This City-owned parcel currently serves as a surface parking lot and includes four adjacent parcels - two retail buildings fronting San Carlos Avenue and one retail building fronting Laurel St. (formerly Foodville), as well as a rental housing building on the other side of the parking plaza.

Project Proposal

The Wheeler Plaza project proposes to replace the existing surface parking and existing buildings with a new, mixed-use development featuring underground parking, ground level retail, and condominium housing above. The City's development partner, Silverstone Communities, has proposed a 108 unit residential building above a podium parking structure with new retail space on San Carlos Avenue.

If the city council likes fake plastic nature, then let them saran-wrap their own yards! LEAVE OURRead More PARKS ALONE!! This is soccer special interest pressure on city government at its worst, and the city council appears unwilling or unable to withstand it. Crestview Park is a particularly quiet, serene, simple park with lovely views which the council now wants to turn into a sports arena. Any day you can go there and see families playing on the grass, toddlers and moms enjoying picnics and play time, kids learning to ride their bikes on the nice flat paved area, athletes and older folks enjoying the flat natural track (the only one in San Carlos) to get in shape, teens throwing frisbees on the lawn. It is a perfect place for ALL residents to enjoy according to their needs, not a sports arena dedicated to one activity at the expense of all. Belmont faced a similar lack of sports venues, but they did not choose to pave paradise. They wisely raised money and built a sports complex and spared their beautiful parks for use by ALL residents. I would like to see our city council do the right thing also. And by the way, the opposition to this short-sighted plan is far more than "some residents"! Please visit our booth at Hometown Days.

One summer my kid had soccer camp on at an artificial turf field. It was terrible. It madeRead More everything hotter and very uncomfortable. I had to pull my kid out of camp early because of it. I do not think it is better for the environment OR for kids. Just go to any turf field and try to walk across it on a hot day. Try to go barefoot on it (good luck!) We have been told not to microwave plastic containers because of BPA and bad chemicals that can cause cancer. What about heating up plastic grass and running around on it, breathing the fumes that come off it?? How is that any different?

Artificial turf is appropriate for dedicated use sports venues, not for multi-use city parks.

Thanks for doing this. The one blatant thing I observe on a daily basis is the number and frequencyRead More of deputy's at Starbucks on 800 laurel street and the sky kitchen. I never see them in the neighborhoods. The police department was much better
