Document Description
The Levee Protection Planning and Improvements Project is entirely within the City of Foster City levee corridor from the San Mateo City Limit to the San Mateo/Belmont City Limit. The SF Bay side of the City levee system is fully tidal open water, slough channels, wetlands, and mud flats. Land uses on the landward side of the levee system consist of streets, residential and commercial areas, landscaped open space and recreational areas, unimproved lots, muted tidal wetlands and seasonal wetlands. Approx. 9,000 properties in Foster City are protected from the one-percent annual chance of flooding by the levee system that was primarily designed for flood protection. An additional 8,000 properties in the City of San Mateo are also protected by the Foster City levee system. Conversely, properties in Foster city are protected from the one-percent flood by San Mateo's levee and floodwall systems south of San Mateo Creek.
The purpose of the project is to provide flood protection in accordance with updated FEMA guidelines and regain FEMA accreditation for its existing levee system. In addition, the improved levee system will be designed to adapt to future sea level rise while maintaining public access along the levee system and protections for sensitive habitat and species.
