The subject site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Bell Aired Road and Ascension Drive. The project site is predominately situated on a hillside with slopes averaging 40%. The subject site is surround by single-family dwellings, including the Baywood Park neighborhood to the northeast, the Enchanted Hills neighborhood to the southeast and southwest, and the Starlite Heights neighborhood to the northwest. The College of San Mateo campus is located less than 1/4-mile northeast of the subject site via Parrott Drive. At the center of the subject site is an existing potable water tank owned and operated by the California Water Service Company located on a separate 22,500 sq. ft. parcel. The water tank is also utilized as a cellular communication facility by various operators. This parcel is not part of the proposed project. The site was graded over 40 years ago, which consisted of excavating the sides of the hill for the construction of Ascension Drive and Bell Aired Road. Eight-foot wide benches at 30- foot intervals were created along Ascension Drive as a result. Surface runoff from these benches has eroded over the years. The site is predominately characterized by grassland, small brush and trees such as oak, pine and eucalyptus. A small grove of eucalyptus trees is located on the southeast side of the site and pine trees have been planted around the water tank facility.
