B.A. - Page 28 Redwood City RFP El Camino Real Corridor Plan likelihood for redevelopment during the life of the plan. This study should include a leakage analysis. In particular, the study should identify opportunities to preserve small businesses along the corridor. Task 5 - Identify Potential Changes and Enhancements to Existing Development Standards and Street Design The consultant will prepare a range of approaches to consider in response to the findings of the Existing Conditions Analysis. This step involves evaluating General Plan and Zoning development standards for opportunities to further align the land use regulations with market and physical conditions. Changes to density, height, and land uses may be considered. Street design will also be considered, with opportunities to update and modify standards for the street, including the number and width of vehicle travel lanes, bicycle facilities, transit accommodation, sidewalk widths, street furniture and landscaping. Attention should also be paid to improving access across El Camino Real for people walking and bicycling, as El Camino Real is currently a significant barrier to active mobility within the City. Please note that the environmental review process has not yet been determined, but for the purpose of this budget, the consultant will provide direction to staff in outlining likely environmental review scenarios depending on the approach selected; the cost of performing the environmental review will be undertaken by staff or as a subsequent amendment or as a separate contract. Task 6 - Prepare Draft Plan Based on public, commission and Council direction regarding potential approaches identified in Task 5, the consultant will prepare a draft Plan for review and adoption. The Plan must contain all mandated elements of a Plan, with high quality maps and diagrams to illustrate various development standards and design guidelines. Specific tasks for development of the plan may include, but are not limited to: • Identification of sub-areas for specific development standards • Integration with the existing Downtown Precise Plan • Opportunities for an affordable housing strategy and application of Community Benefits (program is currently being studied). • Financing mechanisms and phasing recommendations for the right-of-way improvements • Coordination with any planned improvements to the Downtown Transit Center, including Caltrain and SamTrans Bus Depot. • An implementation plan that aligns the goals and policies of the General Plan with the Corridor Plan.
