The owners of a commercial office building in downtown Redwood City are suing the city for approving a six-story Habitat for Humanity development expected to make 20 below-market-rate condominiums available at 612 Jefferson Ave. last month.
The lawsuit, signed by attorneys Geoff Carr and Kevin Frederick, is requesting the city set aside its May 22 denial of their appeal of the project’s approval by the Planning Commission, which reviewed the project in March. Carr and Frederick, whose law offices at 605 Middlefield Road share the same block as the project, have previously opposed it, citing concerns they have said are shared by neighbors of the currently empty lot about the impact of the building’s height and modern design elements as well as lack of open space where the children of the families expected to live there can play.
