Stanford is also proposing a set of community benefits focused on restoring the historic Ralston Mansion, maintaining community use of Koret Field, improving transportation along the Ralston Avenue corridor, and establishing a local educational initiative. “As I walked around the campus, I was inspired by its beauty, history, and place in the community, and the many possibilities it holds for learning and community engagement.” “Establishing a Stanford Belmont campus presents exciting potential opportunities for our educational mission as we pursue the university’s Long-Range Vision that includes more purposeful engagement with the region,” said Provost Persis Drell. It does not include specific plans for new or renovated facilities, but it sets specific conditions under which those plans can be submitted in the future. The development plan would provide Stanford with the flexibility to reposition the campus in a way that supports new academic uses and greater community engagement. The approval process will also include robust community engagement.

The application submittal is the first step in a comprehensive regulatory process led by the city to study Stanford’s high-level vision to redevelop the campus.
