The objective of the Town Center Area Plan update is to provide a new long-term guiding document that provides property owners, the Town, and the community with a clear vision of the desired future for Woodside's commercial and community hub.

A successful Town Center Area Plan will guide both private and public investment in improvements to the built environment, as well as governmental decisions in approving new projects. The successful Town Center Area Plan will also provide guidance on desired and supportable land uses that serve the Woodside community, which may include opportunities to address current and upcoming State housing mandates.

The Town seeks the expertise of an experienced urban planning firm, and therefore welcomes proposals which address all issues that are commonly found in smaller city and town centers, while focusing on the local opportunities and needs of the community. 

The respondents should therefore consider the discussion in the RFP as a minimum scope of work. The Town is relying on the professional expertise of the selected firm to inform and educate the Town about critical components of a successful Town Center Area Plan update.
