Further engagement would follow through the entitlement process, including additional in-person community open houses, one-on-one meetings, information booths at community events, online town hall meetings, and other opportunities.

Development Agreement The Development Agreement for the Stanford in Redwood City project was approved in 2013 in conjunction with certification of an Environmental Impact Report for the Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan and approval of the Precise Plan and other land use approvals. City staff, with guidance from a City Council-formed Ad Hoc subcommittee, negotiated a Development Agreement based on Guiding Principles provided by the City Council: Positive Mutual Benefits, Community-Based Benefits, Fiscal Balance, and Plan Integrity. Stanford University and Stanford Health Care exercised their right to extend the Development Agreement for the first of two available ten-year periods, and in October 2023, received approval of the first 10 year- extension (until December 3, 2033). 8.A. - Page 7 of 12 352
