I I Scope of Work/Methodology EDAW, Inc. I I The TAC meetings should occur at strategic points in the process, such as at project initiation, reviewing the market analysis, during the alternatives selection phase, and as a review body to the Draft Downtown Area Plan. PHASE TWO TASK D. Prepare Alternative Strategies I I Based on the results of Phase I, EDA W will refme the goals and objectives and prepare alternative strategies for the Downtown and its supporting context. The goals and objectives will serve as the framework for development of a consensus design and development concept, focusing the team's efforts. I I Dol Prepare Alternative Strategy Plans Based on the existing conditions and Downtown market analysis and discussions with the Task Force and TAC, EDA W will prepare up to a maximum of three conceptual design Strategy Plans for the Downtown. We will apply various levels of program intensity to the alternatives to discuss issues such as density, uses, and locations of focal points or additional open space. These alternatives will include: Land Use Circulation Building massing for key opportunity sites Major open space linkages Focal points and gateways Streets cape character These alternative plans will be prepared in plan view on the project base map and be keyed to images, sketches and diagrams as necessary. I I I I I D.2 Alternatives Analysis In order to help the Task Force, TAC, Planning Commission and City Council make an informed decision on a Preferred Plan, EDA W will perform a qualitative analysis for each alternative analyzing: Compatibility with the Goals and Objectives deEmed by the community. Ability to phase new development incrementally vs. major plan area reconfiguration Compatibility with surrounding context. Additional improvements required to the circulation system and parking supply. Intensity of new development for each alternative as compared to what is projected in the City's General Plan. Ability of the City to finance improvements and potential fiscal benefits or negatives. Market acceptance in both the short and long term. I I I I I At this juncture, we also suggest review by a small panel of Bay Area developers, investors and property management entities to pre-test the ideas in each alternative. The acceptance or denial of the private sector will ensure the alternatives meet the test of implementation. I I Redwood City's Downtown Area Plan 5 I
