In addition to increasing the amount of housing and including <br />significantly more than the required number of affordable homes in the proposal, <br />the plans include several other community benefits, such as: <br />• Bike & pedestrian improvements, including public commuter bike storage <br />• Underground parking <br />• 10,000 SF of on-site childcare <br />• Outdoor dining & family -friend play areas <br />• Public open space & an art walk <br />• Critical connectivity between the site, local neighborhoods, & the <br />Downtown Entertainment District <br />• Upgrades to Safeway & CVS <br />4 blocks of transit -served office space <br />The Silicon Valley Leadership Group is driven by more than 330 companies to <br />proactively tackle issues to improve our communities. Collectively, Leadership <br />Group members provide nearly one out of every three private sector jobs in Silicon <br />Valley. Among their top concerns are a lack of housing and long commutes. With <br />the opportunity for Sequoia Station to dedicate land to expand Caltrain's service, <br />at a site where up to hundreds of homes can be built, this proposal addresses both <br />concerns. On behalf of our members, we proudly support proposed residential <br />developments like the one before you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Cecilia Conley <br />Senior Associate of Transportation and Housing <br />Silicon Valley Leadership Group <br />227 <br />
