Goal H-1: Protect the existing supply of affordable housing, and continue to enhance the quality of our residential neighborhoods. The project provides 35 new affordable housing units at the low income level. The project will also pay approximately $1.2 million in affordable housing fees and donate $250,000 to the Habitat for Humanity’s 612 Jefferson project. Goal BC-1: Provide 3.0 acres of park space for every 1,000 residents. New residential developments are required to pay a parks impact fee at permit issuance, which is used for the installation, acquisition, construction and improvement of park improvements listed in the Impact Fee Project List, including the acquisition of land necessary for such improvements. This list includes: o Acquiring land for active park space as described in the 2008 Parks Needs Assessment (defined by locations within the City) o Increasing use capacity of athletic fields through the conversion of synthetic turf and adding field lights where appropriate (i.e. Taft School turf conversion, Garfield School turf conversion, and Guida-49er Field Lights) o Developing trails and other recreational uses in the Hetch-Hetchy right-of-way, Redwood Creek, open waterways (as appropriate) and the connection to the Bay Trail System (along Redwood Creek and connecting the Bay Trail from San Carlos to Menlo Park) o Adding new play equipment and amenities in parks for the purpose of increasing “play value” and use capacity (defined in the 2008 Park Needs Assessment) The City is in the process of conducting an updated Park Needs Assessment to evaluate the ratio of parks to residents. Based on preliminary analysis, the City has approximately 2.5 acres per 1,000 residents of “public parks and recreational lands.” - Policy BC-1.1: Require parkland dedications and/or provision of on‐site usable public space for significant development projects involving new residential construction. The project is subject to the parks impact fee. Goal BC-2: Create complete neighborhoods wherein every Redwood City resident lives within easy and safe walking distance of a park or community space. - Program BC-3: Land Dedication and In‐Lieu Fees. Continue to implement the land dedication program and in‐lieu fees program to assist in the funding and development of new parks. Actively seek alternative Funding Sources such as State bonds and grants to supplement gaps in financing parkland acquisition and development. The project is subject to the parks impact fee. 8.A. - Page 72
