Since
adopting
its
2010
general
plan,
mountain
view
has
sought
to
transform
east
wisman
into
a
vibrant
transit-oriented
center
with
high-intensity
office
and
housing,
improved
multimodal
transportation
and
expanded
services.
Central
to
its
precise
plan
process
was
engagement
with
neighbors
business
owners,
stakeholders
and
consistent
developer
participation.

The
plan
employs
a
pioneering
and
innovative
policy
approach,
a
bonus,
far
program
exchanges,
additional
development
capacity
for
community
benefits
such
as
affordable
housing,
public
open
space,
sustainable
building
improvements
and
uniquely
support
for
local
public
schools.
The
plan
features
a
jobs,
housing
linkage
program
requiring
office
developments
to
facilitate
residential
development
through
strategies
such
as
land,
dedication
and
construction
of
units
to
break
up
large
blocks
and
enable
walkability.
B
The
plan
sets
out
circulation
standards
and
required
street
pedestrian
and
bicycle
improvements.
Ensuring
safe
light
rail
station
access
and
activating
public
spaces
are
all
critical
components.
