Abstract: . . .  demand. The case study will estimate total water demand (residential and commercial) in Santa Clara County based on the final Smart Growth vision and a comparison of this demand to estimated demand under current general plans. This study will offer opportunities to extrapolate its findings to other areas of the region. The general discussion section of the final Smart Growth Vision report will explore the potential benefits of water conservation and management associated with smart growth planning principles like: narrow street widths, efficient and compact communities and water supply infrastructure, an emphasis on transit and pedestrian uses, and the clustering of development in less arid areas of the greater Bay Area.

The first phase of public participation in the Smart Growth Strategy/Regional Livability Footprint Project* visioning exercise has been completed and the next phase of review by local governments and stakeholder groups has begun. When the Smart Growth/Footprint Project began in 1999, three goals were identified: Create a smart growth land use vision for the Bay Area to minimize sprawl, provide adequate and affordable housing, improve mobility, protect environmental quality, and preserve open space.
