8 �-� <br /> D. COMMUNITY FACILITIES <br /> GOAL: Provide and manage outstanding p/aces for <br /> community activifies. <br /> We consider our facilities to be the Community's <br /> public living rooms and backyards. We found that <br /> our facilities are well used with the Community <br /> Activities Building providing space to more than <br /> 200 community groups, and the Veterans Memorial <br /> Senior Center averaging 12,000 visits per month to <br /> provide just two examples. In this area our <br /> strategies are two pronged. First, we need to <br /> provide adequate resources to maintain our <br /> existing facilities in a safe, clean and attractive manner. We also found that our facilities <br /> are concentrated in Red Morton Park. As with parkland, our goal is to identify the type <br /> and location of new community facilities that will be needed as our population grows. <br /> OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS <br /> Dl Expand Facility Capacity to Match Growth in Population and Program Trends <br /> Targets: Maintain or exceed ICMA for number of community centers. <br /> Maintain or exceed peninsula average of community center square <br /> footage per 1000 of population. <br /> Rationale: Currently the Department meets ICMA standards for community <br /> facilities. However, the City ability to meet community needs will <br /> become strained with the estimated increase of approximately <br /> Redwood City 5,200 residents between the year 2000 and 2010, and <br /> another 800 in the City's sphere of influence. In addition, some of the � <br /> current facilities do not reflect the state of the art in space design, and <br /> can be upgraded to support a greater mix of uses, new technologies, � <br /> and recent programmatic innovations.
