Preliminary Matters
Roll Call:

Land Acknowledgement Statement: The City of Berkeley recognizes that the community we live in was built on the territory of xučyun (Huchiun (Hooch-yoon)), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-chen-yo)-speaking Ohlone (Oh-low-nee) people, the ancestors and descendants of the sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to all of the Ohlone Tribes and descendants of the Verona Band. As we begin our meeting tonight, we acknowledge and honor the original inhabitants of Berkeley, the documented 5,000 -year history of a vibrant community at the West Berkeley Shellmound, and the Ohlone people who continue to reside in the East Bay. We recognize that Berkeley’s residents have and continue to benefit from the use and occupation of this unceded stolen land since the City of Berkeley’s incorporation in 1878. As stewards of the laws regulating the City of Berkeley, it is not only vital that we recognize the history of this land, but also recognize that the Ohlone people are present members of Berkeley and other East Bay communities today. The City of Berkeley will continue to build relationships with the Lisjan Tribe and to create meaningful actions that uphold the intention of this land acknowledgement.

Ceremonial Matters: In addition to those items listed on the agenda, the Mayor may add additional ceremonial matters.

City Manager Comments: The City Manager may make announcements or provide information to the City Council in the form of an oral report. The Council will not take action on such items but may request the City Manager place a report on a future agenda for discussion.

Public Comment on Non-Agenda Matters: Up to ten persons will be selected to address matters not on the Council agenda. If five or fewer persons are identified to provide non-agenda comment, each person selected will be allotted two minutes each. If more than five persons are selected to address matters not on the Council agenda, each person selected will be allotted one minute each.

In-person attendees wishing to address the Council on matters not on the Council agenda during the initial ten-minute period for such comment, must submit a speaker card to the City Clerk in person at the meeting location and prior to the moment that the Presiding Officer calls for public comment on non - agenda items. Remote attendees must raise their hand in the videoconference application when the Presiding Officer calls for non-agenda speakers. The first five raised hands on the videoconference application will be selected to speak and the first five cards drawn at the meeting will be selected to speak. The number of in-person and remote speakers selected may be adjusted by the Presiding Officer if fewer than five speakers from either format are identified.

The remainder of the speakers wishing to address the Council on non-agenda items will be heard at the end of the agenda.

Public Comment by Employee Unions (first regular meeting of the month): This period of public comment is reserved for officially designated representatives of City of Berkeley employee unions, with five minutes allocated per union if representatives of three or fewer unions wish to speak and up to three minutes per union if representatives of four or more unions wish to speak.

Consent Calendar
The Council will first determine whether to move items on the agenda for “Action” or “Information” to the “Consent Calendar”, or move “Consent Calendar” items to “Action.” Three members of the City Council must agree to pull an item from the Consent Calendar or Information Calendar for it to move to Action.

Items that remain on the “Consent Calendar” are voted on in one motion as a group. “Information” items are not discussed or acted upon at the Council meeting unless they are moved to “Action” or “Consent”.

For items moved to the Action Calendar from the Consent Calendar or Information Calendar, persons who spoke on the item during the Consent Calendar public comment period may speak again at the time the matter is taken up during the Action Calendar.

Public Comment on Consent Calendar and Information Items Only: The Council will take public comment on any items that are either on the amended Consent Calendar or the Information Calendar. If ten or fewer persons are interested in speaking on an individual agenda item, each speaker may speak for two minutes. If there are more than ten persons interested in speaking, the Presiding Officer may limit the public comment for all speakers to one minute per speaker. Speakers are permitted to yield their time to one other speaker, however no one speaker shall have more than four minutes. The Presiding Officer may, with the consent of persons representing both sides of an issue, allocate a block of time to each side to present their issue.

ORDINANCE NO. 7,939-N.S.

ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXCHANGE OF REAL PROPERTY FOR

DEVELOPMENT OF ASHBY BART STATION PROPERTY
BE IT ORDAINED, by the City Council of Berkeley, as follows:

Section 1. Purpose and Intent.

The purpose and intent of this Ordinance is to authorize, approve, and implement an agreement for the exchange of real property at the site of the Ashby BART Station, to further the development of the property in a manner that will, among other objectives that serve the interests of the people of Berkeley, increase the number of affordable housing units in the City of Berkeley in accordance with applicable City-adopted housing plans.

Section 2. Findings.

A. The City of Berkeley, a California charter city (“City”) and the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit Authority, a California rapid transit district (“BART”) share a desire to transform the current surface parking lots at the Ashby BART Station (“Parking Lots”) to a transit-oriented development that will provide much needed housing (including affordable housing), enliven Adeline Street, and benefit the surrounding community, while continuing to ensure access to the Ashby BART Station. The City and BART each have an interest in having this area developed with high density use, to maximize the amount of new housing and to enhance transit ridership.

B. The Parking Lots consist of the BART-owned parking lot on the westerly side of the BART Station, bounded by Ashby Avenue, Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, and the BART Station, Assessor Parcel Number 053-1597-039-04 (“West Lot”), and the BART-owned parking lot on the easterly side of the Bart Station bounded by Woolsey Street, Tremont Street, and the Ed Roberts Campus, Assessor Parcel Number 053-1703-009 (“East Lot”).

C. BART is the fee simple owner of the West Lot and the East Lot. The City holds an option to purchase the air rights above the West Lot in accordance with the unrecorded “Agreement Dated October 22, 1964 Between the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District and the City of Berkeley” as amended (“Air Rights Option”).

D. The development plans for the West Lot include improvements within the BART Right- of-Way area identified as “R9-2” in the “Record Maps of Right of Way Bay Area Rapid Transit District Alameda County” dated December 1, 1964 and recorded on September 20, 1971 at Book 68 of Maps, pages 122-146, in the Official Records of Alameda County, California (“R9-2 Parcel”). The R9-2 Parcel encompasses a portion of the Adeline Street public right-of-way along the easterly boundary of the West Lot.

E. To implement the development of the West Lot and East Lot, the City and BART have prepared the “Ashby BART Station Transit-Oriented Development Exchange Agreement”

Page 1 of 204 ends

Page 19 ends

Ordinance No. 7,939-N.S. Page 2 of 7
whereby the City shall relinquish by quitclaim deed all its rights under the Air Rights Option and BART will convey to the City by grant deed its fee simple interest in the East Lot (“Exchange Agreement”). The Exchange Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit A, will implement the nonbinding “Term Sheet for Ashby Bart Transit-Oriented Development” approved by the Berkeley City Council on September 16, 2024 (“Term Sheet”). In accordance with the Exchange Agreement, the City also will relinquish via quitclaim its interests, if any, in the R9-2 Parcel, with the exception of easements for utilities within the parcel. In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the underlying real property exchange and the respective development of the West Lot and the East Lot is conditioned on specified minimum numbers of affordable housing units, additional covenants ensuring the development of the properties in accordance with City requirements, the inclusion of public space and facilities within the developments (including space for the Berkeley Flea Market), improvement of public infrastructure, specified financial arrangements and funding mechanisms for the developments, the improvement of the R9-2 Parcel as specified in the Exchange Agreement, and other conditions as specified in the Exchange Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the underlying exchange of real property is further conditioned on the selection of a developer or developers pursuant to Requests for Proposals or Requests for Proposals/Requests for Qualifications. The closings of the real property exchanges shall be phased to coincide with the satisfaction of the underlying conditions.

Under the Exchange Agreement, the development of the West Lot and the East Lot shall be subject to the City’s binding Objective Design Standards for the West Lot and the East Lot as provided in the Exchange Agreement.

F. The Exchange Agreement will supersede the Term Sheet, the prior Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), and the Memorandum of Agreement between the City and BART dated June 30, 2022 amending and expanding upon the MOU, as they relate to the development at the Ashby BART Station site in accordance with the Exchange Agreement.

G. On April 27, 2021 the Berkeley City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 69,833- N.S. which, in part, provisionally reserves $53 million of City-controlled funds as the subsidy needed to achieve at least 35% affordable housing at the Ashby BART Station site and at the separate North Berkeley BART Station site, and allows for a portion of the funding to be allocated to predevelopment uses. In accordance with Resolution No. 69,833-N.S., the $53 million reserve fund is or shall be funded with $40 million in bond funds pursuant to Measure O passed by Berkeley voters on November 6, 2018, and $13 million in future Affordable Housing Mitigation Fees.

H. On June 28, 2022 the Berkeley City Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 7,815-N.S., amending Title 23 of the Berkeley Municipal Code, which added Chapter

23.202.150 in its Zoning Ordinance as part of the City of Berkeley Municipal Code, adding a “Residential – BART Mixed Use (R-BMU)” zoning district, as well as making additional conforming amendments to the General Plan and other sections of the Municipal Code in order to ensure that the provisions are comprehensively and consistently incorporated into its Zoning Ordinance, to govern development at the North Berkeley and Ashby BART

Stations consistent with Assembly Bill 2923 (California Public Utilities Code sections 29010.1 et seq.).

I. On November 29, 2022, the Berkeley City Council adopted Resolution No. 70,622-N.S. approving a conceptual design for a street reconfiguration and new plaza along Adeline Street between Ashby Avenue and Martin Luther King, Jr., Way, in order to accomplish objectives that include increased safety for pedestrians and bicyclists and enhanced access to the Ashby BART Station.

J. The Berkeley City Council recognizes that there is great need for affordable housing in the City of Berkeley as stated in numerous City-adopted plans including without limitation the General Plan Housing Element, the Adeline Corridor Specific Plan, the Residential – BART Mixed Use rezoning of the Ashby BART Station and North Berkeley BART Station sites, and the City of Berkeley's Consolidated Plan, and the Berkeley City Council finds that the Exchange Agreement is consistent with those City-adopted plans.

K. The Berkeley City Council finds that the development of the West Lot, the East Lot, and the R9-2 Parcel in accordance with the Exchange Agreement will serve the needs and interests of the people of Berkeley by furthering objectives that include without limitation increasing the number of affordable housing units in the City of Berkeley, increasing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, enhancing access to the Ashby BART Station, enlivening Adeline Street, and providing related benefits to the surrounding community.

Section 3. Environmental Review.

A. On December 8, 2020, the City Council approved the Adeline Corridor Specific Plan and certified an associated EIR (“2020 ACSP EIR”), in order to provide a vision and planning framework for future growth and development in the Adeline Corridor Plan Area (“Plan Area”) in an equitable manner that benefits the existing community. The 2020 ACSP divides the Plan Area into four Subareas, one of which is the Ashby BART Subarea. Although designs presented in the Specific Plan assumed four lanes on Adeline in this Subarea and a small plaza, the Specific Plan explained that these designs were “conceptual, and could be refined or varied in the future, with further design work to identify detailed features such as exact intersection geometries, bicycle facility types and alignments, pedestrian crossing facilities, and the exact location of street trees and public space.”
B. On June 28, 2022, the Berkeley City Council adopted the Ashby and North Berkeley BART Stations TOD Zoning Project, and certified an associated EIR (“2022 EIR”). The boundary of the Ashby BART station site is the same as shown on Figure 2-2 in Section 2, Project Description, of the 2022 EIR. The project involved the adoption of a new zoning district, the Residential BART Mixed-Use District (R-BMU), that established transit- oriented zoning and development standards, and associated amendments to the Berkeley General Plan, for parcels encompassing and surrounding the Ashby and North Berkeley San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) stations. The zoning requirements were subsequently adopted in Section 23.202.150, R-BMU Residential

Page 3 of 204 ends

Page 21 ends

Ordinance No. 7,939-N.S. Page 4 of 7
BART Mixed Use District, of the Berkeley Municipal Code (BMC). Key features of the R- BMU district include a maximum building height of 80 feet and 7 stories, a minimum residential density of 75 units per acre, and no motor vehicle parking requirement. The zoning also includes standards related to open space, setbacks, step-backs, ground-floor residential and non-residential frontage, on-site pedestrian access, massing, building entrances, and parking design and access.

C. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(2), if a lead agency finds that a later activity is within the scope of a program EIR, no new environmental document is required.

Factors that a lead agency should consider when making this determination include if the later activity is within the type of allowable land use, overall planning density and building intensity, geographic area, and covered infrastructure as described in the program EIR.

D. The allowable land uses analyzed in the 2022 EIR are consistent with the development contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. The R-BMU district permits residential uses as well as other non-residential uses such as retail, community-serving uses, and civic spaces. The Exchange Agreement does not contemplate additional use types beyond those already permitted in the R-BMU district.

E. The overall planning density and building intensity analyzed in the 2022 EIR is consistent with the development contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. Consistent with the R-BMU development standards, the 2022 EIR analyzed a buildout projection of 1,200 residential units in buildings up to 7 stories and 80 feet in height with a density of 200 units per acre. Additionally, because future development on the site may be eligible to utilize provisions of the State Density Bonus Law (California Government Code Sections 65915 – 65918), the 2022 EIR also analyzed a reasonably foreseeable buildout of up to 1,800 residential units, in buildings of up to 12 stories, for a total of 1.5 million gross building square feet. The reasonably foreseeable development contemplated by the Exchange Agreement contemplates development within the limits analyzed in the 2022 EIR.

F. The geographic area analyzed in the 2022 EIR is consistent with the development contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. The boundary of the Ashby BART station site is the same as the boundary of the Ashby BART station site that was analyzed in the 2022 EIR (see Figure 2-2 in Section 2, Project Description, of the 2022 EIR).

G. The infrastructure analyzed in the 2022 EIR and the 2020 ACSP EIR is consistent with the development contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. The 2022 EIR analyzed a housing development at the site including up to 1,800 units and 1.5 million square feet. The reasonably foreseeable development contemplated by the Exchange Agreement includes infrastructure within these limits. Additionally, the 2020 ACSP EIR analyzed the construction of pedestrian connections, pedestrian plazas, and increased bicycle and transit infrastructure within the Ashby BART Subarea. The pedestrian, transit, and bicycle infrastructure contemplated by the Exchange Agreement is substantially similar to the infrastructure analyzed in the 2020 ACSP EIR.

Page 4 of 204 ends

Page 22 ends

Ordinance No. 7,939-N.S. Page 5 of 7
H. In sum, the allowable land use, overall planning density and building intensity, geographic area of the development, and infrastructure contemplated by the Exchange Agreement are all as described in the 2022 EIR or 2020 ACSP EIR. Therefore, no new EIR is required.

I. Further, CEQA provides statutory exemptions for certain projects that provide improvements at transit stations, or reduce parking. Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(10) provides statutory CEQA exemption for “[a] project for the institution or increase of passenger or commuter services on rail or highway rights-of-way already in use, including modernization of existing stations and parking facilities.” Public Resources Code section 21080.25(b)(3) exempts “[t]ransit prioritization projects”, which section 21080.25(a)(11)(E) defines as including “[t]ransit stop access and safety improvements”.

Public Resources Code section 21080.25(b)(9) also exempts “[a] planning decision carried out by a local agency to … remove or restrict parking”.

J. The Exchange Agreement contemplates certain roadway redesigns of Adeline Street that qualify for these statutory CEQA exemptions. The redesign would provide a two-lane roadway with access restricted to right-in/right-out only along the east side of Adeline between Ashby Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Way. The redesign would provide protected bike lanes, improved pedestrian access, and a large plaza gathering space.

The purpose of this design includes increased safety for pedestrians and bicyclists using BART. Because this roadway redesign would modernize and improve the safety of existing rail transit stations and parking facilities, including by removing parking, it is exempt under sections 21080(b)(1), 21080.25(b)(3), and 21080.25(b)(9).

K. Although no additional CEQA documentation is required because the roadway redesign component of the development is statutorily exempt from CEQA and the development contemplated by the Exchange Agreement is covered by a previous program EIR, the City has prepared an Addendum to the 2022 EIR and the 2020 ACSP EIR, which is attached as Exhibit B.

L. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 states that if substantial changes in the project, substantial changes in circumstances, or new information or substantial importance would result in new or substantially more severe significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR, a subsequent EIR is required. The Addendum, in Section 5, explains why neither the development nor the proposed roadway redesign constitutes a substantial change in the project, circumstances, or new information of the sort contemplated by section 15162.

Thus, no subsequent EIR or supplemental EIR is required.

Section 4. Approval of Exchange and Transfer of Property.

This ASHBY BART STATION TRANSIT -ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of [INSERT], 2024 (the “ Effective Date”), by and between the City of Berkeley (“City”), a California charter city, and the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (“ BART”), a California rapid transit di strict. Each party to this Agreement may be referred to herein as a “ Party” and collectively, referenced to herein as the “Parties.”

RECITALS
A.

The City and BART each have an interest in having this area de veloped with high density use to maximize the amount of new housing and to enhance transit ridership.

B. In 2020, the Parties entered into a memorandum of understanding (“ MOU”) to identify their shared vision and priorities for tr ansit-oriented development at the North Berkeley and Ashby BART Stations, to provide clarity on the process and timelines for pursuing development, and to begin to identify the roles and responsibilities of the City and BART in that process. Among other things, the MOU called on the City to establish a Community Advisory Group, reserve funding to support affordable housing development at the sites, and adopt zoning for the sites consistent with Assembly Bill 2923 (California Public Utilities Code sections 29010.1 et seq.)

The JV P was incorporated into BART’s Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) for development of the North Berkeley BART Station site.

F. On June 28, 2022 the Berkeley City Council adopted Chap ter 23.202.150 in its Zoning Ordinance, as part of the City of Berkeley Municipal Code, adding a “Residential - BART

Page 8 of 204 ends

Page 26 ends

2 Mixed Use (R-BMU)” zoning district, as well as additional conforming amendments to the General Plan and other sections of the Municipal Code in order to ensure that the provisions are comprehensively and consistently incorporated into its Zoning Ordinance, to govern development at the North Berkeley and Ashby BART Stations consistent with AB 2923.

G. On June 30, 2022, the City and BART ente red into a Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”) amending and expanding upon the MOU.

K. This Exchange Agreement is intended to be a binding agreement that supersedes the MOU, MOA, and the Term Sheet as they relate to transit-oriented development at the Ashby BART Station.

L. The Parties acknowledge that there are other contractual relationships between the Parties, and such contractual rela tionships are not modified by this Agreement to the extent that they do not relate to or impact transit-oriented development at the Ashby BART Station, or unless explicitly done herein.

These solicitations shall conform to applicable requirements, if any, of the Surplus Land Act (Government Code §§ 54220 et seq.). BART and City shall each conduct a solicitation whereby a Request For Proposals (“RFP”) or Request For Qualifications and Proposals (“RFQ/RFP”) is issued to solicit qualified developers, and respondents will be asked to submit their qualifications, as well as proposals demonstrating workable business frameworks for development that are consistent with the requirements of this Agreement and the specific goals outlined in the JVP and the developer solicitation document or documents. It is expected that successful respondents to the RFPs or RFQ/RFPs would enter into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (“ENA”) with BART for the negotiation of a Ground Lease Option granting one or more options for one or more Ground Leases on the West Lot, and with the City for the negotiation of one or more Ground Leases or contract of sale (or some combination thereof) on the East Lot, respectively.

5.2. Schedule. Both the City and BART shall take every feasible action to ensure that their respective milestone targets included in Schedule 5.2 (“Schedule”) are achieved and sufficient staff is dedicated by both BART and the City to meet the Schedule.

5.3. East Lot RFP or RFQ/RFP. The RFP or RFQ/RFP for the East Lot shall additionally include, without limitation: (a) a request to respondents to demonstrate how their proposal addresses (i) the negative impacts to African American residents, businesses, and cultural institutions displaced by construction of the Ashby Station, (ii) the JVP priority to “maximize the number of new homes”; and (iii) the requirement that the project include at least 300 bedrooms; (b) the applicable minimum onsite Affordable Housing requirements, as set forth in this Agreement; and (c) a request to respondents to provide a detailed pro forma demonstrating how the development team could potentially achieve a goal of 50% Affordable Housing.

BART staff will not participate in the solicitation process for the East Lot other than to review and approve solicitation materials with respect to matters relating to BART access and operations in order to ensure that BART’s access and operational requirements are satisfied.

5.3.2. Selection Process. Following the receipt of proposals, the selection process will include a public meeting of shortlisted RFP or RFQ/RFP respondents that includes

Page 19 of 204 ends

Page 37 ends

13 presentations from the respondents. The East Lot selection committee will make a recommendation to the Berkeley City Council based upon selection criteria prepared by the City.

Without limiting the City’s consideration of other factors, in keeping with the JVP priority to maximize the number of new homes, the number of residential units shall be a positive quantitative factor in the City’s evaluation of proposals. The Berkeley City Council shall consider and act upon the East Lot selection committee’s recommendation of a developer for the East Lot.

5.3.3. East Lot Developer. The “East Lot Developer” is the RFP or RFQ/RFP respondent, if any, selected by the Berkeley City Council who also enters into an ENA or Ground Lease, as applicable, with the City for development of the East Lot.

5.4.1. Selection Process. The West Lot evaluation committee will be composed of four BART representatives, two City representatives, and a representative from Equitable Black Berkeley (“EBB”) approved by the City Manager (total of 7). Following the receipt of proposals, the evaluation process will include a public meeting of shortlisted respondents that includes presentations from the respondents. Without limiting the evaluation committee’s or BART’s consideration of other factors, the extent to which a proposal would provide a direct connection from the project to Adeline Street shall be a quantitative factor in the evaluation of proposals. In the event that the West Lot evaluation committee concludes that one or more respondents have submitted a satisfactory proposal, the West Lot evaluation committee will recommend the most qualified respondent to the BART General Manager based upon the selection criteria prepared for the RFP or RFQ/RFP. The BART General Manager shall make a recommendation of a developer to the BART Board of Directors which the BART Board of Directors shall consider and act upon.

8.1.3. Expected Funding Sources. The funds to construct and maintain Public Infrastructure and the TPSS Improvements are expected to come from a combination of sources.

The responsibilities and priorities of the parties with respect to constructing, maintaining, and seeking funding for Public Infrastructure and the TPSS Improvements shall be as set forth in the body of this Agreement and in the matrix attached hereto as Schedule 8.1.3 (“Infrastructure Matrix”). To the extent there is a conflict between the body of this Agreement and the Infrastructure Matrix, the body of this Agreement shall control.

8.1.4. Financing Strategy. The Parties understand that available funding sources, financing estimates, and economic conditions could change as this Project proceeds. The Parties shall cooperate to prepare a mutually agreeable financing strategy for Public Infrastructure that will respect the priorities for external funding identified in this Agreement, except to the extent the parties agree that flexibility is needed to maximize the external funding available for Public Infrastructure. BART shall require the West Lot Developer to collaborate with the Parties in preparing the financing strategy. Failure of the Parties and the West Lot Developer to prepare such a financing strategy shall not preclude either party from applying for external funding nor relieve either party of the obligations identified in this Agreement to cooperate on funding applications. The Parties acknowledge that the financing strategy may need to be updated over time to reflect availability of financing sources.

8.1.5. Overall Responsibilities of the Parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, BART and/or the West Lot Developer shall be responsible for constructing and maintaining the TPSS Improvements (7A and 7B) and the Public Infrastructure on the West Lot, the City and/or the East Lot Developer shall be responsible for constructing and maintaining

Page 26 of 204 ends

Page 44 ends

20 Public Infrastructure on the East Lot, and the City shall be responsible for constructing and maintaining the Roadway Reconfigurations and the Adeline Plaza Improvements. The parties shall take future maintenance costs into consideration when designing and costing Public Infrastructure.

8.1.6. External Funding Opportunities. Throughout the development process, BART, the City, the West Lot Developer, and the East Lot Developer shall collaborate on securing funding for Public Infrastructure. Such collaboration may include, for example, coordination on the scope and requests for applications to State funding sources that support transit-oriented development such as the Affordable Housing & Sustainable Communities (“AHSC”), Infill Infrastructure Grants (“IIG”), and Transit and Intercity Rail Corridor (“TIRCP”) programs. The anticipated external funding sources for each of the Public Infrastructure are identified in, but shall not be limited to, those sources listed in the Infrastructure Matrix. To the extent external funding opportunities are limited, first priority for use of grant funds shall be given to “essential” improvements, second priority shall be given to “high priority” improvements, and third priority shall be given to “medium priority” improvements, as those priorities are identified in the Infrastructure Matrix. BART and the City shall make good faith efforts to develop an infrastructure grant funding strategy that seeks to maximize the total amount of grant funding available for the essential improvements.

8.2. Specific Public Infrastructure Improvements.

8.2.1. Eastside Elevator. BART may, but is not required to, determine whether it is necessary to make upgrades to the elevator on the east side of Adeline Street that is used by BART riders to access the station (the “Eastside Elevator”). In the event that BART, in its sole discretion, determines that upgrades to the Eastside Elevator are necessary, BART shall be responsible for securing grants or other funding for such upgrades. To the extent necessary, and as a showing of good faith, the City or the East Lot Developer will cooperate with BART in seeking external funding to support BART-related infrastructure needs necessitated by the East Lot project. However, if external funding is unavailable, neither the City nor the East Lot developer shall be responsible for construction or maintenance funding for BART-related infrastructure.

8.2.2. Adeline Plaza Improvements (1B, 2A, and 3A). Adjacent to the West Lot, within the City’s right of way, the City shall be responsible for constructing and maintaining Adeline Plaza Improvements (Adeline Main Plaza, Ashby/Adeline Corner Plaza, and MLK/Adeline/Woolsey Plaza), including improvements related to the anticipated flea market space, which may include, but are not limited to, public open plazas, plantings, and green space.

The City, BART, and the West Lot Developer shall collaborate on securing funding for the Adeline Plaza Improvements with the goal of marshalling financial resources from external sources (such as from the county, region, or state) and, for Adeline Main Plaza (1B), through the City’s formation of an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (“EIFD”) for the West Lot, which is more particularly described in Article 8.3.1 below. For purposes of determining priority in allocating EIFD funds or external funding for the project, the Adeline Main Plaza (1B) is considered essential to the project, the Ashby/Adeline Corner Plaza (2A) is considered high priority, and MLK/Adeline/Woolsey Plaza (3A) is considered medium priority.

Page 45 ends

21 8.2.3. TPSS Improvements.

A. Location. The TPSS Improvements shall be constructed in the locations shown as 7A and 7B on the Infrastructure Map, provided that, if BART believes a material change in location is necessary, BART shall meet and confer with City before materially altering the TPSS location and shall work in good faith to address any concerns with the revised location that the City may identify.

B. Costs. All direct, indirect, and ongoing operating costs associated with the TPSS Improvements shall be the sole responsibility of BART. Any increased TPSS infrastructure construction or operating costs that may result from modifications to the TPSS location shall be the sole responsibility of BART; neither the City nor the East Lot developer shall be responsible for such costs.

C. Access. The TPSS Access Area (5) is expected to provide the crane access required for TPSS maintenance. BART shall not use the existing Adeline Street sidewalk or future Adeline Plaza Improvements for crane access unless BART provides temporary or permanent supports sufficient to support the crane, at BART’s sole cost and expense.

D. TPSS Screening Improvements. The TPSS Improvements shall include decorative fencing with artistic treatments or other mutually agreeable screening treatment, along Adeline Street, and along the public facing edges at the north and south ends of the replacement TPSS, to screen the replacement TPSS from pedestrians (the “TPSS Screening Improvements”). BART shall be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the TPSS Screening Improvements. The City shall cooperate with BART in seeking external funding for the TPSS Screening Improvements, but the obligation to construct and maintain the improvements shall not be contingent on the availability of such funding.

8.2.4. West Lot BART Improvements and BART-Related Infrastructure.

BART shall support the West Lot Developer in seeking external funding to pay for the BART Improvements and any other BART-related infrastructure needs necessitated by new development on the West Lot that may result in costs above and beyond those a developer would incur on similar privately-owned property. To the extent these external funding sources are not sufficient to cover the costs of such BART-related infrastructure, such funding shortfall shall be considered a factor affecting project feasibility for purposes of this Agreement. BART shall also be responsible for, and may seek external funding for, any necessary upgrades to ventilation, lighting, vertical circulation, utilities, or other BART-related infrastructure, provided that the ultimate responsibility as between BART and West Lot Developer for such BART-related infrastructure shall be determined by BART in its sole discretion and may be delegated in whole or in part to the West Lot Developer. The City shall have no responsibility for the construction or maintenance of the BART Improvements or any other BART-related infrastructure on the West Lot.

8.2.5. Adeline Plaza Extensions (11 and 2B). The Adeline Plaza Extensions consist of the South Plaza Extension (11) and the Ashby/Adeline Corner Plaza Extension (2B).

South Plaza Extension is an extension of the southern portion of the Adeline Main Plaza by

Page 28 of 204 ends

Page 46 ends

22 providing an expanded plaza area and/or public accessways on the West Lot. The South Plaza Extension (11) shall comprise at least 4,800 square feet, and shall be extended as necessary to bridge any gap and connect with the adjacent TOD building. The Ashby/Adeline Corner Plaza Extension (2B) is an extension of Ashby/Adeline Corner Plaza (2A), at the intersection of Adeline Street and Ashby Avenue, and shall connect Ashby/Adeline Corner Plaza (2A) to the adjacent TOD building through an expanded plaza area and/or public accessways on the West Lot.

A. Purpose. The intended purpose of the Adeline Plaza Extensions is to provide at-grade pedestrian connectivity between the Adeline Plaza Improvements and one or more new TOD buildings with commercial and/or residential uses having frontages that support activation of the Adeline Main Plaza (1B), and that complement market activities there. The Adeline Plaza Extensions shall be improved with elements such as a wider sidewalk, outdoor seating area, outdoor dining area, landscaping, or other usable open space.

B. Use by Berkeley Flea Market. At least 50% of the area of the South Plaza Extension shall be publicly accessible open space. The publicly accessible portion of the South Plaza Extension shall be made available for nonexclusive use by the Berkeley Flea Market.
(1) In the event that BART rather than the West Lot Developer retains possession of the portion of the South Plaza Extension to be made available for nonexclusive use the Berkeley Flea Market, the Berkeley Flea Market’s use shall be via a “Concession Permit” (or a similar document permitting the Berkeley Flea Market use) issued by BART, on financial terms comparable to the Flea Market Permit, as adjusted for inflation, and subject to the Berkeley Flea Market materially satisfying all requirements thereunder, including but not limited to review and approval of the proposed use, which permit shall not be unreasonably withheld. (2) In the event that the West Lot Developer’s Ground Lease grants it possession of the portion of the South Plaza Extension to be made available for nonexclusive use by the Berkeley Flea Market, that Ground Lease shall obligate the West Lot Developer to make at least 50% of the area open and available to the public, and to, at the Berkeley Flea Market’s option, enter into an agreement for the use of at least 50% of the area of the South Plaza Extension by the Berkeley Flea Market on financial terms comparable to the Flea Market Permit, as adjusted for inflation, and subject to the terms of the Ground Lease and to the Berkeley Flea Market satisfying all reasonable requirements of the West Lot Developer. (3) The 50% area to be used by the Berkeley Flea Market shall be configured to avoid interference with required building emergency egress and BART rider ingress/egress.

C. Delivery. The South Plaza Extension (11) is considered essential to the West Lot development and shall be included in the final project. The Parties acknowledge that the technical issues involved in providing at-grade pedestrian connectivity between a new TOD building and Adeline Street, and the costs associated therewith, have not been fully evaluated at this time. BART shall use good-faith efforts to work with the West Lot Developer to ensure that the final project will deliver at-grade pedestrian connectivity between a new TOD

Page 29 of 204 ends

Page 47 ends

23 building and Adeline Main Plaza (1B) using high quality design and materials; provided that, in the event of a funding shortfall, BART, City and West Lot Developer shall work in good faith to identify value-engineering and other cost saving measures as provided in subparagraph E below.

The Ashby/Adeline Corner Plaza Extension (2B) is considered a high priority improvement and shall be included in the final project to the extent consistent with project feasibility.

D. Funding. The City, BART, and the West Lot Developer shall collaborate on securing external funding for the Adeline Plaza Extensions (such as from the county, region, State, or federal government). In addition, the South Plaza Extension (11), to the extent eligible for EIFD funding under State law, shall be given priority among plaza extensions for EIFD funding as more particularly described in Article 8.3, below, contingent upon West Lot Developer committing to a capital contribution of no less than $1 million for the South Plaza Extension.

E. Funding Shortfall. If revenues from the EIFD (including related interim bridge financing) and external funding sources are insufficient (or unavailable) to fund the South Plaza Extension, the parties will meet and confer to discuss value engineering measures to ensure the economic feasibility of the West Lot development; provided, however, that in no event shall the South Plaza Extension be constructed using low-quality materials. The West Lot Developer shall be responsible for the costs of constructing the Adeline Plaza Extensions in the event of any funding shortfalls. Neither City nor BART shall be required to contribute funds towards the Adeline Plaza Extensions.

F. CFD Bridge Financing: The Parties acknowledge that EIFD funds may not be available until after the improvements associated with the West Lot project are complete and on the tax rolls. The parties will collaborate on a plan to provide bridge financing through creation of a CFD or other financing mechanism to be offset, reimbursed, or refinanced when EIFD revenues become available. The City shall be responsible for the maintenance of the public portions of the Adeline Plaza Extensions, which shall be funded by the CFD identified in Article 8.3. Any portions of the Adeline Plaza Extensions which are for the exclusive use of the West Lot project shall be maintained by the West Lot Developer.

8.2.6. BART Terrace Improvements (9A and 9B). The BART Terrace Improvements consist of improvements to the Existing BART Terrace (9A) abutting the proposed Adeline Plaza, and any BART Terrace Extension (9B) necessary to connect the Existing BART Terrace to the adjacent TOD Building. As with the Adeline Plaza Extensions, the purpose of any BART Terrace Extension is to provide at-grade pedestrian connectivity between the Adeline Plaza Improvements and one or more new TOD buildings with commercial and/or residential uses having frontages that support activation of the Adeline Main Plaza (1B), and that complement market activities there.

A. Use by Berkeley Flea Market. The Existing BART Terrace shall be publicly accessible open space, and at least 50% of the area shall be made available for nonexclusive use by the Berkeley Flea Market.
(1) In the event that BART rather than the West Lot Developer retains possession of the portion of the Existing BART Terrace to be made available for nonexclusive

Page 30 of 204 ends

Page 48 ends

24 use by the Berkeley Flea Market, the Berkeley Flea Market’s use shall be via a “Concession Permit” (or a similar document permitting the Berkeley Flea Market Use) issued by BART, on financial terms comparable to the Flea Market Permit, as adjusted for inflation, and subject to the Berkeley Flea Market materially satisfying all requirements thereunder, including but not limited to review and approval of the proposed use, which permit shall not be unreasonably withheld. (2) In the event that the West Lot Developer’s lease grants it possession of the portion of the Existing BART Terrace to be made available for nonexclusive use by the Berkeley Flea Market, BART’s Ground Lease shall obligate the West Lot Developer to make the area open and accessible to the public, and, at the Berkeley Flea Market’s option, to enter into an agreement for the use of at least 50% of the area of the Existing BART Terrace by the Berkeley Flea Market on financial terms comparable to the Flea Market Permit, as adjusted for inflation, and subject to the terms of the Ground Lease and to the Berkeley Flea Market satisfying all reasonable requirements of the West Lot Developer. (3) The 50% area to be used by the Berkeley Flea Market shall be configured to avoid interference with building emergency egress, and BART rider ingress/egress.

B. Delivery. BART and/or the West Lot Developer shall be responsible for constructing any improvements to the Existing BART Terrace and, if it is included in the final West Lot project design, for constructing the BART Terrace Extension.

EIFD funding may be made available for eligible BART Terrace Improvements if external funding is insufficient to cover construction costs, consistent with the priorities in Article 8.3.1 below. The BART Terrace Improvements are considered a high priority and shall be included in the final West Lot project to the extent consistent with project feasibility.

8.2.7. Roadway Reconfigurations (1A and 3B).

A. Overview. The City’s Adeline Street Transportation
Improvements Project is expected to repurpose two of the existing four traffic lanes to create a new public pedestrian plaza and protected bikeways, along with upgraded traffic signal infrastructure and enhanced public transit operations on Adeline Street. The project scope of work includes redesigning the intersections of Adeline/Ashby and MLK/Adeline/Woolsey adjacent to Ashby BART. The component of the project to reconfigure Adeline Street is identified in the Infrastructure Map as 1A (Adeline Street Reconfiguration), and the component to reconfigure the MLK/Adeline/Woolsey intersection is identified in the Infrastructure Map as 3B (MLK/Adeline/Woolsey Intersection Redesign).

B. Funding of Roadway Reconfigurations. The Adeline Street Reconfiguration (1A) is considered essential to the project. Existing funding for the Adeline Street Reconfiguration is through Preliminary Engineering only, and funding for subsequent engineering design and construction phases has not yet been identified. The City and BART shall work collaboratively to identify funding for remaining project phases. The MLK/Adeline/Woolsey Intersection Redesign (3B) is considered a high priority improvement.

The West Lot Developer shall collaborate with the City on securing funding for the Roadway Reconfigurations, including, for example, by coordinating on the scope and requests for applications to state funding sources. However, the costs of the Roadway Reconfigurations shall

Page 31 of 204 ends

Page 49 ends

25 not be borne by BART or the West Lot Developer, but rather by grants, subsidies, or other publicly available funding sources.

8.2.8. Sidewalk Improvements (15, 16, and 17). The Sidewalk Improvements consist of the widening of the sidewalks along Ashby Avenue and MLK Way, and the widening of the sidewalk and construction of a new protected bikeway along MLK Way at the southern portion of the West Lot. The Sidewalk Improvements have a medium priority. West Lot Developer is responsible for the construction of the Sidewalk Improvements and the costs thereof. The City shall be responsible for maintenance of the improved sidewalks.

8.2.9. BART Rider Parking. BART rider parking on the West Lot shall be the sole responsibility of BART and shall be within the sole discretion of BART, except that BART shall commit to providing ADA parking spaces in a quantity sufficient to meet user demand (up to the current amount at the station [16]), but in no event fewer than the quantity required by law.

BART will monitor ADA space occupancy during the conceptual design process to determine the appropriate number of ADA spaces prior to construction. BART shall not require BART rider parking, including ADA parking, on the East Lot. The City, at its sole discretion and subject to any required public process and approvals, may elect to accommodate some or all of BART’s ADA parking obligation within the City’s right of way for the purpose of reducing costs and allowing external funding to be directed to other Public Infrastructure.

8.2.10. Coordination and Construction Process. The City, BART, and the West Lot Developer shall endeavor to coordinate the design and construction of the Roadway Reconfigurations, Adeline Plaza Improvements, the Adeline Plaza Extensions, the BART Improvements, and any other public infrastructure necessary for the project that may affect those improvements, to promote efficiency, seek compatibility of design and materials, and minimize conflicts with other City projects. To facilitate coordination and increase efficiency, the City, BART, and/or the West Lot Developer may enter into construction and reimbursement agreements providing for a single party to construct multiple improvements concurrently, with costs allocated as provided in this Agreement. However, development of the West Lot project and necessary Public Infrastructure may proceed prior to completion of the Roadway Reconfigurations and the Adeline Plaza Improvements. Additionally, nothing in this Agreement is intended to bar the City from assessing any regular public works fees associated with processing development permits and mitigating development impacts.

8.2.11. Maintenance Responsibility for BART-Related Infrastructure. BART shall be responsible for the costs of maintaining any BART-related infrastructure, such as the Eastside Elevator, the TPSS, and the BART Improvements, regardless of whether such infrastructure is on the East Lot, the West Lot, or within the City’s right of way, with the exception of any on-street ADA parking spaces, which shall be maintained by the City.

8.3. Special Funding Mechanisms for Public Infrastructure

8.3.1. West Lot EIFD. The City will make good faith efforts to pursue formation of an EIFD over the West Lot to improve the economic feasibility of development on the West Lot and potentially increase the level of Affordable Housing on the site. The City commits to making a good faith effort to form the EIFD within 12 months of approval of the entitlements for

Page 32 of 204 ends

Page 50 ends

26 the West Lot Project. BART and the West Lot Developer shall provide the requisite consents to (and refrain from protesting) formation. Priority of funds will be as follows:

A. (a) Adeline Main Plaza (1B) and (b) the South Plaza Extension (11) (to the extent eligible under state law, and contingent upon West Lot Developer committing to a capital contribution of no less than $1 million for the South Plaza Extension).

B. The BART Terrace Improvements (9A and 9B) and
Ashby/Adeline Corner Plaza (2B).

C. Public Infrastructure costs with no other available funding source, but excluding the BART Improvements or any other BART-related infrastructure (such as BART rider parking or the Eastside Elevator).

D. Affordable Housing funding gap for units in excess of the City’s current inclusionary housing ordinance requirement.

E. Tax increment “pay as you go” financing to reimburse the West Lot Developer for eligible capital and maintenance costs for improvements financed by the EIFD.

8.3.2. East Lot EIFD. The City may, in its discretion, form an EIFD on the East Lot to improve the economic feasibility of development on the East Lot. The City may use the proceeds from the East Lot EIFD for any eligible costs associated with the East Lot development, provided that the funds shall not be applied toward any BART-related infrastructure.

8.3.3. Community Facilities District. The City’s costs of maintaining the Adeline Plaza Improvements and the Adeline Plaza Extensions shall be covered by a CFD to be formed consisting solely of the West Lot, to fund ongoing maintenance responsibilities carried out by the City. The CFD shall only cover maintenance expenses for the public portions of the Adeline Plaza Extensions; it shall not cover maintenance of any portion that is for the exclusive use of the West Lot project.

A. Formation. If proceedings for the establishment of a community facilities district are instituted pursuant to section 53318 of the Government Code, City shall then comply with its obligation to institute the proceedings to establish the CFD and otherwise comply with the procedures to create a CFD under Article 2 of Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code. The Parties will collaborate on developing the local goals and policies and, with the West Lot Developer, on determining the CFD’s rate and method of apportionment, which determination shall take into account the impact that such additional tax burden will have on the feasibility of the West Lot Project. BART will vote (and, if applicable, require West Lot Developer to vote) in favor of formation of the CFD.

B. Future Project Feasibility. The Parties acknowledge that a CFD will impact the feasibility of the Project by increasing the tax burden on the West Lot, and agree to seek external funding sources if the CFD cannot feasibly generate enough revenue to cover the maintenance costs of the Adeline Plaza Improvements and Adeline Plaza Extensions.

27 ARTICLE 9.

OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS

9.1. General. City intends to adopt new binding objective design standards (“ODS”) applicable to the West Lot and East Lot, respectively, to allow the City, community, BART, and developers to have a strong voice in the design quality of the development at the Ashby Station.

Those ODS shall be made applicable to the West Lot Developer and East Lot Developer through any mechanisms allowable by law, including permit conditions, the West Lot and East Lot Covenants, and this Agreement, and compliance with those ODS may be made a condition of disbursement of the City Funds. Except as otherwise provided in Schedule 9.2.1, and with respect to the West Lot only, BART shall ensure that ODS apply to development notwithstanding the availability of waivers, incentives, or other exceptions to development standards that may be available under law. This Article describes the nature and process for the West Lot ODS. The process and content of any ODS for the East Lot shall be determined by City in its sole discretion provided that the ODS must allow for at least 248 units and at least 300 bedrooms.

9.2. Development of West Lot ODS.

9.2.1. ODS Requirements. ODS for the West Lot (“West Lot ODS”) shall be developed that comply with the ODS requirements (“ODS Requirements”) of Schedule 9.2.1.

Main topics in the ODS may include but are not limited to:

A. Public realm improvements;
B. Building form and massing;
C. Building façade design; and
D. Open space and landscape.

9.2.2. Capacity Study. A capacity study (“Capacity Study”) is incorporated into this Agreement as Schedule 9.2.2. The Capacity Study establishes the net developable area of the West Lot for purposes of determining the compliance of the ODS with the ODS Requirements.

9.2.3. ODS Process. The process for adoption of ODS shall occur in three phases: (i) the “Preliminary ODS”, (ii) the “Final ODS”, and (iii) the approval by the City Council of the Final ODS, with any modifications approved by the Council. The public and BART shall be given an opportunity to review and comment on all three phases, and the West Lot Developer will be given an opportunity to review and comment following developer selection. City shall consider the input of the public, BART, and the West Lot Developer in the preparation of Final ODS to be considered for adoption by the Planning Commission and City Council, and shall make a good faith effort to address any objections raised by BART and the West Lot Developer relating to the impact of ODS on project feasibility or design.

9.2.4. Preliminary ODS. Raimi & Associates (“Raimi”) and City shall complete the Preliminary ODS for the West Lot by December 10, 2024, in advance of the release of the

Page 34 of 204 ends

Page 52 ends

28 RFP or RFQ/RFP so that it may be included as a supplement within one week of the issuance to the RFP or RFQ/RFP.

9.2.5. Final ODS. Prior to submitting proposed Final ODS to the Planning Commission, the City shall provide the Final ODS to BART and the West Lot Developer. If BART or the West Lot Developer object to any of the proposed Final ODS based on noncompliance with ODS Requirements, they shall submit such objections to the City, along with an explanation of the basis for the objections, within fifteen (15) business days of receipt. If objections are timely submitted, the City, BART and West Lot Developer shall promptly meet and confer in good faith to resolve the objections and make any revisions before the proposed Final ODS are submitted to the Planning Commission. If BART or West Lot Developer believes the Final ODS recommended by the Planning Commission for approval by Council would not comply with the ODS Requirements, BART or West Lot Developer shall have fifteen (15) business days following the Planning Commission’s recommendation to submit their objections to the City, along with an explanation of the basis for them, and the City, BART, and the West Lot Developer shall promptly meet and confer in good faith to resolve them prior to submittal to the City Council. If no objections based on the ODS Requirements are raised within the applicable fifteen (15) business day period, or if timely raised objections are resolved through the meet and confer process, the Final ODS approved by Council will be deemed to satisfy the requirements set forth in the ODS Requirements unless modified by Council in a manner that affects compliance with the ODS Requirements. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit the ability of BART or West Lot Developer to provide comments on the Preliminary or Final ODS at any time prior to final approval, or to raise concerns or objections to the ODS based on considerations other than compliance with the ODS Requirements.

9.2.6. Approval of West Lot ODS. Once a complete draft of Final ODS has been prepared and the process for resolving any objections described in this Article has been completed, City staff will submit the draft Final ODS to the Planning Commission for recommendation. Following the Planning Commission’s recommendation and completion of the process for resolving objections to that recommendation, the City shall submit the Final ODS for the West Lot to the City Council for adoption no later than nine months after the execution of the ENA for the West Lot (“Approval Period”). Should the City believe that, due to a force majeure event (including but not limited to war, terrorist attack, pandemic, natural disaster, or other similar occurrence beyond the City’s control), the City is unable to adopt West Lot ODS within the Approval Period, the City may request an extension of the Approval Period from BART not more than 30 days after the commencement of the force majeure event, which request shall identify the force majeure event and specify how it has affected the City’s ability to adopt West Lot ODS within the Approval Period. The extension of the Approval Period requested shall be of a duration equal to the duration of the impact of the force majeure event on the City’s ability to adopt the West Lot ODS. BART’s approval of an extension request shall not be unreasonably withheld.

9.3. Funding of ODS. The City shall bear full responsibility for any costs to develop ODS on the East or West Lot in excess of the currently available grant funding or those costs incurred after the grant expenditure deadline.

What Personal Information We Disclose and Why We
Disclose It
The CCPA requires us to tell you what categories of personal information we “sell”, “share” or “disclose.” We do not sell and will not sell your personal information as that term is commonly understood. We also do not sell and will not sell your personal information, including the personal information of persons under 16 years of age, as that term is defined by the CCPA. We do not share your personal information as that term is defined in the CCPA. When it is necessary for a business purpose, we may disclose your personal information with a service provider or contractor, and we enter into a contract with the service provider or contractor that limits how the information may be used and requires the service provider to protect the confidentiality of the information.

In the preceding twelve months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for the following business purposes. Where the personal information is shared with third parties, as that term is defined in the CCPA, the category of the third party is indicated.

Our Retention of Your Personal Information
The length of time that we retain personal information largely depends upon the purpose for which the information was collected rather than the category of the information as set forth in this Notice. When establishing retention periods, we consider applicable statutes of limitation and legal and regulatory requirements and guidelines.

Personal information is generally retained for periods of time that permit the company to meet its legal and regulatory obligations.

Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides California consumers with certain rights regarding their personal information. This chart describes those rights and certain limitations to those rights.

Right What This Means
