The new East Side Economic Development Sites Book presents 7 sites identified by the City of San Carlos Community Development Department as providing key locations for redevelopment. One of these sites has been identified by the City for a landmark hotel development.
Among other criteria used in selecting these sites, primary consideration was given to visibility from and proximity to Highway 101 and other existing retail clusters. Information provided in this report includes site area, property owners, zoning and general plan designation, a description of the site and an evaluation of the opportunity and challenges for potential redevelopment.

On Monday, February 9, 2009, the City Council directed staff to begin negotiations with Silverstone Communities to enter into an agreement with the City. Once the agreement is completed and approved by the City Council, Silverstone Communities will develop designs and plans to redevelop Wheeler Plaza and to partner with the City on an extensive public participation process on this site.
Wheeler Plaza is located one block west of El Camino Real, immediately southwest of the intersection of San Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street and includes a parking lot and 2 adjacent parcels - a retail building on one side, and a six-unit rental housing development on the other.
