Key planning elements for the project laid out in the Master Plan Design Standards and Guidelines include the following: Half of the homes proposed for the Balboa Reservoir neighborhood will be affordable to low- and moderate-income households; Family-friendly housing and community spaces will be organized around a centrally located park designed to include the surrounding community and the general public; On- and off-site transportation improvements will prioritize walking, biking, and transit to alleviate congestion and air pollution while enhancing community safety; Surrounding facilities will enhance community connections, including a new public-serving childcare center and community space overlooking the central park. The building design and operations will eliminate greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy production and zero-waste efforts. Building E will be the first affordable housing development at Balboa Reservoir with 126 affordable family units and two units reserved for building staff. In addition to the residential uses, a large community facility will be available to the surrounding neighborhoods for community and private functions. In recognition of the site's proximity to many transit options, no parking will be provided on-site. Bicycles will be parked at a 1 space per unit ratio with some spaces attributed to cargo bikes and e-bike charging. The building will be six and seven stories, with 5 stories of Type III-A construction over two stories of Type I-A construction.
