REDWOOD CITY 6 Design Guidelines and Specifications 6.1 Green Infrastructure Guidelines, Specifications, and Typical Design Details The San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program (SMCWPPP), with input and feedback from its member agencies, including the City of Redwood City, has developed a countywide Green Infrastructure Design Guide (Design Guide) and its appendices to provide comprehensive guidance on the planning, design, construction, and operations and maintenance of green infrastructure for buildings, parking lots, sites, and streets. The Design Guide addresses the requirements of the MRP, fulfilling Section C.3.j.i. (2) (e) requiring design and construction guidelines for streets and projects and C.3.j.i. (2)(f) for developing typical design details and specifications for different street and project types. The Design Guide also addresses the part of C.3.j.i. (2)(g) related to a regional approach for alternative hydraulic sizing for non-regulated and constrained street projects. The Design Guide includes a range of information related to green infrastructure, such as provision of policies and definitions; identification of different types of treatment and site design measures; summation of various benefits including a range of community benefits provided beyond stormwater management; presentation of before and after images of integrating green infrastructure into projects; introduction of complete streets concepts and design; discussion regarding BASMAA's regional approach for alternative sizing for non-regulated and constrained Green Street projects; design and implementation considerations; operations and maintenance; and provision of typical construction details and specifications. The Design Guide explains how these concepts, considerations, and guidance can be used to effectively integrate green infrastructure into communities in new and redevelopment projects whether they are C.3 regulated or not. General guidelines for overall streetscape and project design, construction, and maintenance have been developed so that projects have a unified, complete design and implement the range of functions associated with the projects. The MRP emphasizes the need for guidance related to Green Streets functions. The Design Guide includes implementation guidance specifically for stormwater management and treatment within streets. The guidance supports safe and effective multimodal travel with a focus on the comfort of RWC GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN 31 JUNE 2019 ATTY/RESO.0075/CC RESO APPROVING THE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN — EXHIBIT A RESO.
