transportation systems and the potential effects of different land use configurations on transportation demand. The scope and budget for the transportation analysis assume that up to three General Plan land use alternatives will be developed; the analysis of these alternatives is discussed in later tasks described below. Products: · CommunityViz Alternatives and Impact Evaluations · Alternative Maps - one hard copy and one electronic copy Task 7. Draft Elements At this stage, we have compiled adequate background information and received appropriate policy direction to develop goals, measurable objectives, and policies and to complete draft elements, as well as other General Plan chapters (Introduction and Glossary). These draft elements and chapters will be submitted to the City and the Committee for comment before being consolidated into a Draft General Plan. This scope of work and budget aSSume that each element will be revised no more than twice. Ifadditional revisions are necessary, they will be prepared on a tirneand materials basis with the City providing written authorization prior to the revision's initiation. 7.1 Introduction: Framework for Planning and Decision Making We will prepare an introductory chapter for the new General Plan that provides an overview of the Plan and establishes a framework for decision making. This chapter will include the Vision and Guiding Principles (as they maybe refined through the public engagement efforts of Wave 2). In particular, this chapter will describe how sustainability principles are an integral part of all elements. Other topics covered will include a summary of the public participation program used to craft the General Plan, as well as other regional planning documents and initiatives that have a bearing on Redwood City. 7.2 Revise Land Use/Community Design, and Circulation Element Subtask 7.2.1 Land Use/Community Design Hogle-Ireland with input from Gerry Gast and other team members will prepare a preliminary element that is broadened to include a "form based" emphasis and urban design influences. As such, we will not only focus on "land uses" but the relationship the land uses play in creating a sense of place in the neighborhoods, corridors, and districts. We have extensive experience in creating "hybrid form based" General Plans insouthem California. Within the context of a form based code, we would anticipate addressing the following issues: . Expanding economic development and employment opportunities in the City's port .and industrial areas, Revitalizing corridors, perhaps introducing mixed-use Examining the effectiveness of existing mixed-use designations and districts Expanding the opportunities for transit-oriented development Enhancing retail and service provision in the districts and corridors Preserving the single-family character of R-1 neighborhoods Strengthening solid neighborhoods to ensure their continued vitality Improving transitional or marginal neighborhoods by improving "eyes forward" concepts, . . . . . . .
