• The preservation of 119 acres overall for permanent open space, and the transfer of the needed water rights for habitat rehabilitation and maintenance.
• A limit on future development to 129 acres of the 308-acre parcel, with no development allowed within the 500-year floodplain.
• Restrictions on density and intensity of future development.
• A required minimum 2-to-1 square footage ratio of housing to non-housing buildings.
• A 750,000-square-foot cap on the amount of non-housing development allowed.
• A ban on any non-residential development prior to at least 150 units of housing being built.
• The dedication of five acres for development of permanently affordable housing available to all who qualify, not just university affiliates.听
