. Proposed rail transportation and connections to the street network 7.3 Economic Development Element The Economic Development Element that has been conceptually approved by the City Council will remain largely as currently written. The element will be reformatted for consistency wit the other General Plan elements, and goals and policies will be modified as needed to reflect the results of Strategic Economics' analysis and to ensure consistency with the land use plan. 7.4 Housing Element Earlier chapters of the Housing Element developed as background reports establish' housing needs within the City and describe constraints and resources to meeting those needs. The Housing Plan represents the tangible steps the City will undertake to address the housing needs. The Existing Housing Element Progress Report produced will facilitate an evaluation of the effectiveness of the housing programs contained in the most recent Housing Element. This evaluation will assist in assessing the need to modify existing programs, introduce new housing programs, and eliminate obsolete programs for the Housing Element. We will revise and develop Housing Goals and Policies related to the affordability,availability, and adequacy of the City's housing. Quantified objectives relative to the maintenance, preservation, and construction of housing will be provided. We will ensure that Housing Element goals build upon and are consistent with the goals and policies of other City housing studies. With input from City staff and policymakers, we will develop a Housing Plan to implement the goals and policies of the Housing Element. For each program in the Plan, we will establish the time frame for implementation, specific objectives, funding sources, and responsible agencies. We are sensitive to formulating programs that are relevant to meeting the community's needs, practical and feasible, and acceptable to decision~makers. We will prepare a preliminary draft Housing Element containing all of the components described above. Based on City staff's review and comment, we will prepare a draft version suitable for public review and transmission to HCD. 7.5 Historic Element We will prepare a new Historic and Cultural Resources Element that uses the existing element as a foundation, with updated information drawn from the work of team member JRP and incorporating input received during community engagement tasks and from the HRAC. 7.6 Infrastructure and Water Supply Element The City Council and Planning Commission have conceptually approved the Infrastructure and Water Supply Elements. We do not foresee making substantial changes to these Elements, other than combining them into one element reformatting the new element to match the overall structure developed for the new General Plan, revising graphics to conform to the new General Plan graphics format, and updating information as may be required to respond to land use changes. 7.7 Parks and Recreation Element SCOPE OF SERVICES Redwood City General Plan January 11, 2008 Page 25
