The Balboa Reservoir neighborhood will be a diverse and inclusive mixed-income community that brings together residents and neighbors around the new Reservoir Park. Landscape and architecture will work together to connect residents to the natural setting and to link the surrounding commercial, residential and institutional uses into a cohesive community. The neighborhood will ultimately provide 1,100 units of mixed-income housing in a premier San Francisco location. 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
