A 1,436 acre sea salt operation south of San Francisco Bay may be the future site of a smart growth development. The natural evaporation ponds, located in Redwood City, have been in production since 1901. Cargill, who owns the operation, plans to develop this area with the help of Arizona developer DMB Associates. The development will be promoted as a “50/50 balance plan,” a community of 8,000 to 12,000 low-rise, energy efficient apartments, schools, offices, and retail space, mixed with open space and restored wetlands.
