We recognize that there are many other issues in planning for a site of this size. You might be interested to know that we have made "ten commitments" in response to community priorities that we have heard. Those commitments include:

1. Preserving at least 50 percent of the site for open space and restored wetlands habitat — while utilizing up to 50 percent of the land for a mixture of developed uses
2. Building a broad array of housing and addressing the issue of housing affordability for working families and fixed-income seniors, with at least 15 percent of the homes offered at below market prices
3. No high-rises
4. Supporting and assisting with the city's downtown revitalization goals
5. Facilitating a transit linkage between downtown, the Saltworks site, and the proposed ferry terminal
6. Reducing flood control problems in the Bayside area
7. Creating a smart growth transit-oriented development that embraces renewable energy, water conservation and innovative green-building practices
8. Creating a minimum of 50 acres of new public parks and recreation areas, including a large sports complex and community and neighborhood parks
9. Bringing Redwood City back to the Bay, by establishing new Bayside opportunities, like a public aquatic center and Bayfront restaurants, and connecting the gap in the San Francisco Bay Trail
10. Presenting a plan that is economically sustainable and self sufficient, with NO new costs to Redwood City taxpayers
