Introduction
Purpose of the Annual Progress Report
Sections 65400 and 65700 of the California Government Code require all cities and counties to file an annual report addressing the status of the General Plan and reporting on the progress made towards implementing its goals and policies to their legislative bodies. The progress report must be submitted to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year. The annual progress report provides a means to monitor the success of implementing the General Plan and determine if changes are needed in the plan or its implementation programs. This report follows the Annual Progress Report Memo for Reporting Year 2022, which was not updated by the State for 2023. Major planning activities are described, along with other City actions, in the section on implementation of General Plan Elements.
Purpose of the General Plan
The General Plan is mandated by California Government Code Section 65300, which requires each city and county to adopt a plan that outlines a vision for the physical development of the City. The Emeryville General Plan establishes a vision for the City’s long-term growth and enhancement and provides strategies and action items to achieve this vision.
The plan also establishes a baseline by which to determine whether development proposals and public projects are consistent with the City’s goals for the future. The plan also conveys these goals to City staff, partner agencies, developers, and the public at large, and ensures that all entities adhere to common objectives.

Status of the Adopted Elements of the General Plan
State law requires that all general plans include seven elements which must cover the following topics: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Safety, Noise, Conservation, and Open Space. Elements for other topics of local concern may also be included. The Emeryville General Plan includes two optional elements: Urban Design and Sustainability. Except for the Housing Element, all elements of the Emeryville General Plan were adopted as a single document on October 13, 2009. State requirements for housing elements are more detailed and specific than for the other general plan elements, and housing elements are updated every eight years according to a schedule set by the State.
The Emeryville Housing Element is contained in a separate document which was adopted by the City Council on December 12, 2022 and certified by HCD on February 3, 2023. The Housing Element covers the eight-year period from 2023 to 2031. This is the first year reporting the new 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element.
This report describes implementation of the current 2023-2031 Housing Element and includes building permits issued from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
The correspondence between State mandated elements and the Emeryville General Plan is illustrated in the table below.

Compliance with State Office of Planning and Research Guidelines Emeryville’s General Plan was updated in 2009 according to the State Office of Planning and Research’s Guidelines and amended most recently in 2023 to maintain consistency with the Active Transportation Plan adopted in 2023.
Senate Bill (SB) 1000, adopted in 2016, requires local governments with disadvantaged communities in their planning areas to develop environmental justice policies as part of their general plans. The disadvantaged communities in Emeryville are in the East Baybridge, San Pablo Corridor and Triangle neighborhoods. Government Code section 65302(h), states that, DocuSign Envelope ID: 4017B82C-8F4E-4833-9F9B-319234104F43 Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Report Page 3
after 2018, cities with disadvantaged communities are required to include an environmental justice element when two or more elements are amended. The City of Emeryville has not amended two or more elements since 2018 and does not anticipate doing so.
Housing Successor Annual Report
Housing successors (entities that assumed the housing assets and functions of former redevelopment agencies) must report annually on their housing activities. That report is included in this report as Appendix C.
Changes Needed to the General Plan
No goals, policies, objectives, standards or other plan proposals need to be added, deleted, amended, or otherwise adjusted.
General Plan Amendment
In 2023 the General Plan was amended to update maps in the Transportation Element to reflect the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) adopted on October 17, 2023.
Development Decisions
Large development projects approved in 2023 include:
- The Bay Center Life Science Project was approved by the Planning Commission on August 24, 2023. This required a Conditional Use Permit and Design Review permit for a new six story, 96-foot-tall building accommodating 210,000 square feet of Research and Development space and a new 595-space parking garage at 6425-6455 Christie Avenue.
The Research and Development building includes approximately 2,200 square feet of Community Assembly Space.
- The Planning Commission approved a request for a two-year extension of a Conditional Use Permit and Design Review permit that was approved by the Planning Commission on December 9, 2021, for a new 24-unit residential building consisting of all 2- and 3- bedroom units at 1225 65th Street.
Smaller development projects with entitlements approved by the Planning Division or with finalized Building Permits (temporary or completed Certificates of Occupancy) in 2023 include:
- The preliminary development plan and conditions of approval for The Promenade Center Retail/Mixed Use Project were amended to include “Commercial Recreation - Indoor Sports And Recreation” as a permitted use and language restricting hours of operation were removed to facilitate a proposed Planet Fitness gym to operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
- A temporary women’s shelter was approved on March 23, 2023 for the period of one year.
- 22 ADUs were entitled and four ADUs received certificates of occupancy.
Updated status of projects in 2023 that were shown in the development “pipeline” in 2022 include:
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4017B82C-8F4E-4833-9F9B-319234104F43 Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Report Page 4
- An application was withdrawn for a Life Sciences Tower at 5850 Shellmound for which three study sessions were held in 2022.
- The building permit for the demolition of one residential unit and replacement of the structure with three new residential units at 1270 Ocean Avenue expired. A new planning application would need to be submitted and approvals obtained to move forward with this project.
- Building permits were issued on May 9, 2023, for the 90-unit Nellie Hannon Gateway affordable housing project at 3600 San Pablo Avenue.
The development projects described above, and their approval steps, are shown in the attached Development Decisions and Pending Projects table.
In addition, Planning Division staff issued 51 administrative Planning approvals in 2023, and the Building Division issued a total of 664 building permits of various types (including plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and fire).
General Plan Implementation
Chapter 8 of the Emeryville General Plan contains an implementation program to achieve the goals of every action item within each element (except the Housing Element, which contains its own implementation program and is addressed below). The General Plan also describes the processes for implementing each action item, and identifies the agencies involved. Appendix A, General Plan Annual Progress Report Implementation, tracks progress made on those 79 actions during the 2023 calendar year.
Of the 79 actions, the City made progress on 54 in 2023 (see the attached City of Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Implementation Report).
No progress was made on seven actions in 2023:
• PP-A-4 (coordinating greenway creek improvements and water features with community) • PP-A-11 (locating a new Police Administration facility), • PP-A-8 (work on uses for sites no longer needed by other public agencies), • PP-A-12 (continue to operate the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program),
• UD-A-10 (developing new sign regulations),
• CSN-A-5 (studying a trail at the Emeryville Crescent), and • ST-A-7 (identifying new farmers’ markets sites).
The following 18 were completed before or during 2023:
• CSN-A-6 (identify historic and cultural resources; refine significant structures ordinance),
• CSN-A-15 (update Capital Improvement Program)
• CSN-A-17 (establish conditions of approval for mechanical equipment with potential noise impacts),
• CSN-A-18 (require noise study for projects with high noise exposure), • ST-A-2 (adopt the United Nations Environmental Accords, implement 14 actions) DocuSign Envelope ID: 4017B82C-8F4E-4833-9F9B-319234104F43 Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Report Page 5
• ST-A-3 (incorporate Build It Green or LEED and Bay Friendly standards in construction projects),
• ST-A-4 (follow green building and Bay Friendly Landscaping requirements in City projects),
• ST-A-5 (require public-private projects to follow green building and Bay Friendly Landscaping requirements),
• T-A-1 (prepare Quality of Service standards for all transportation modes), • T-A-12 (urge buses to carry bicycles),
• T-A-17 (require all new development to contribute to the Emeryville Transportation Management Association),
• PP-A-1 (prepare a strategic parks master plan),
• PP-A-5 (update and implement five-year Capital Improvement Program) • PP-A-14 (require development projects to upgrade sanitary sewer systems), • LU-A-4 (prepare and update Design Guidelines)
• LU-A-5 (update Capital Improvements Program)
• UD-A-1 (prepare Design Guidelines), and
• UD-A-5 (update Capital Improvements Program).
Of these 18 items, four are related to the update of the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) but depending on the general plan element associated with the action (LU for Land Use; CSN for Conservation, Safety and Noise), the implementing action has a different focus (see the attached City of Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Implementation Report).
Notably, while some items were listed as complete last year, such as CSN-A-15 (Update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)), this item is listed as incomplete for 2023 because a new planning cycle has begun for the next 5-year LHMP period.
Many items that are listed as complete, such as UD-A-1 (prepare Design Guidelines) continue to be updated, in this case, because the Design Guidelines were amended in 2023.
General Plan Implementation: Element Highlights
The following sections contain some of the highlights from each element of the General Plan Land Use
• The Planning Regulations were updated to incorporate objective standards, funded by an SB 2 Planning Grant from the State Department of Housing and Community Development.
• The City is processing its third project under SB 35, which mandates ministerial approval (i.e. staff level), and AB 1763, which specifies no density limit for projects within onehalf mile of transit. The Christie Avenue Affordable Housing Project is a 100% affordable project with 362 rental units in three separate buildings that also adds 6,000 square feet to Christie Park with an active multi-use court. • In 2023 the Design Guidelines were updated along with the Planning Regulations to address objective standards. All objective standards are now located in the Planning Regulations, and all subjective items are incorporated into the Design Guidelines.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4017B82C-8F4E-4833-9F9B-319234104F43 Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Report Page 6
Transportation
• Groundbreaking on the quiet zone project for crossing improvements for 65th and 67th Streets, including bike/ped improvements, gates and signals and the closure of 66th Street all took place in 2022. Construction continued in 2023 and is anticipated to be complete in 2024.
• The Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan, adopted in 2012, was replaced with the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) which was adopted in 2023.The ATP includes a pedestrian network, project priorities, programs that address safety, and is included in the CIP. • In 2023 Emeryville staff continued to attend Caltrans project meetings on a redesigned Ashby interchange including a pedestrian-bicycle bridge over the freeway with a park/overlook to the Bay.
Parks, Public Facilities and Services
• In 2023 the Davenport Park rehabilitation project grand opening was held on March 3 and the grand opening for Huchiun Park occurred on October 28. • Amendments to the Planning Regulations in 2023 included revisions for the implementation of Objective Standards: the objective standards update clarified how to implement General Plan goals related to parks through zoning. • Community Events in 2023 included a Harvest Festival in October, and Holiday Tree Lighting in December. As of December 2023, 56 children (maximum capacity) were enrolled in the Emeryville Child Development Center. Youth programs included the After School Expanded Learning Program, Before School Care, Kinder Buddies, Summer Camps, and Youth Basketball and Soccer. Adult programs include sports and fitness classes. The Senior Center has various services including, fitness, wellness, computer training, Meals on Wheels and congregate lunch. There is also an aquatics center that hosts a variety of swim programs for all ages. Programs are promoted through the News and Activity Guide, the City website, Facebook, X, E-news, and Notify Me. In 2023, the free afterschool program that began in 2022 and is funded by an EUSD grant for all Anna Yates students continued. In 2022 this program increased enrollment by over 100% and in 2023 enrollment continues to exceed expectations.
Urban Design
• As part of the Objective Standards revisions to the Planning Regulations that were adopted in 2023, references to area plans were revised and regulations were updated to provide clarity and help simplify implementation of area plans. • In 2022 the Active Transportation Plan contract was amended to include a citywide wayfinding program that will include signage, public art, and gateway locations. In 2023 the wayfinding program was adopted by City Council and included in the CIP. • In 2023 the Sherwin Williams project developer, Quarterra, in compliance with the City’s Art in Public Places Ordinance, installed $1 million of public art including a piece in the newly opened Huchiun Park and two sculptures on the expanded Emeryville Greenway and a new mural and building railing south of the South Bayfront bridge.

Conservation, Safety and Noise
• In 2020 an application was received and approved for renovations to the existing Pelco Building at 1550 Park Avenue. In addition to a change in use, the project would reuse a building listed as a Significant Structure in the Planning Regulations, add sidewalks, street trees, and lighting where there were none, and include a public art installation along the railing fronting the new sidewalk. In 2022 a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) was issued to allow occupancy of the building while final touches on the project were finished, the project was completed in February 2023. • In 2023 the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) received replacements and upgrades to multi-function printing devices. On July 21, 2023, the City received $1,497,500 for additional EOC upgrades from BioMed Realty in fulfillment of a condition of approval for their Emery Yards project, and these funds were incorporated into the City’s updated CIP.
• Planning for the 2025 update to the LHMP began in 2023, including an online survey that was conducted to help inform the mitigation planning process.
Sustainability
• In 2016 staff brokered green purchasing arrangements with several vendors which were renewed and strengthened in 2023, with an additional focus on foodware. • In 2023 the City continued to work on many elements of the Climate Action Plan, especially active transportation, with new bike/ped facilities planned or installed, and in electrifying transportation and new buildings. Implementation of SB 1383, the short-lived climate pollutant reduction law, took place in 2023 and is consistent with Climate Action Plan goals and policies.
• Bay Friendly Basics and the Bay-Friendly Landscape Scorecard are part of the City's Water Efficient Landscaping code, and apply to all development projects. Standard conditions of approval require scorecards from Stopwaste.org building guidelines, Build it Green, or LEED.
Housing Element Implementation
Appendix B, the Housing Element Annual Progress Report, tabulates housing production and progress in implementing Housing Element programs. Following are highlights of the 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report:
Housing Development Applications Submitted (Table A)
In 2023, Planning applications were received for fourteen development projects that would provide 383 new housing units through the development of thirteen Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on eight different sites, 362 units at 5890, 5900 and 6150 Christie Avenue, two units at 3690 Adeline Street, two units at 6000 and 6040 Hollis Street, two units at 1047 43rd Street, one unit at 4107 Adeline Street, and one unit at 5519 Beaudry Street. Twelve units were approved, and no units were disapproved. Six project applications were still in process at the end of 2023.
The approved projects include 12 above moderate-income housing units.
Entitlements, Building Permits, and Occupancy (Table A2) DocuSign Envelope ID: 4017B82C-8F4E-4833-9F9B-319234104F43 Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Report Page 8
In 2023, planning approval was granted for thirteen projects that would provide 27 new housing units, including 22 Accessory Dwelling Units on ten different sites, an additional unit at 4107 Adeline Street, two additional units at 6000-6040 Hollis Street and two additional units at 3960 Adeline Street. The approved projects include twenty-seven above moderate-income housing units. The City issued fifteen building permits to build 118 units. 90 of those units are part of the Nellie Hannon Gateway development and 28 of the units are Accessory Dwelling Units. The permitted projects include 53 very low-income units, 36 low-income units, and 29 above moderate-income housing units. Certificates of occupancy were issued for eight projects providing 499 units. 186 units at Bayview Apartments, 306 units within two phases at The Emery project (aka Sherwin Williams Redevelopment Project), two additional units at The Bridge (aka Bridgecourt Apartments), four Accessory Dwelling Units, and an additional unit at 5534 Beaudry Street. The completed projects include 18 very low-income units, 18 low-income units, 24 moderate income units and 439 above moderate-income housing units. One of the Housing Element programs is to update the housing sites inventory; that update is attached and is discussed below.
Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress (Table B)
The implementation period for the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is from June 30, 2022, to January 30, 2031. Since June 30, 2022, 138 dwelling units have received building permits – 8% of the RHNA (1,815 units). Of these, 53 (12% of goal) are very low-income units, 36 (24% of goal) are low-income units, and 49 (6% of goal) are above moderate-income units.
Additionally, the City has made significant progress towards its extremely low-income goal by issuing 45 permits (20% of goal). This information is summarized in the chart below titled “2023 RHNA Performance.”

Progress on Implementing Housing Programs (Table D)
The 2023-2031 Housing Element’s action program includes 47 programs, many of which are ongoing City activities or will convert to on-going City activities once all action steps are taken.
Three programs (C, N, and I) have action items that were complete in 2023 and will convert into ongoing programs, 22 programs (A, B, D, E, F, G, J, L, M, Q, R, S, X, FF, HH, II, OO, PP, QQ, RR, SS, and TT) have action items that were underway in 2023, 12 programs (T, U, V, W, Z, BB, DD, GG, JJ, KK, MM, and NN) are ongoing, and10 programs (H, K, O, P, Y, AA, CC, EE, LL, and UU) have had no action taken in 2023.
Commercial Development Bonus Approved (Table E)
In 2023, Emeryville did not have any commercial projects that applied for a development bonus in exchange for contributing affordable housing, so the City did not need to identify sites.
Units Rehabilitated, Preserve and Acquired for Alternative Adequate Sites (Table F).
Emeryville did not have any sites that were substantially rehabilitated, preserved, or converted from non-affordable to affordable, so the City did not need to identify any sites.
Above Moderate-Income Units Converted to Moderate Income (Table F2).
Emeryville did not have any existing multifamily buildings converted to deed restricted rental housing for moderate-income households, so the City did not need to identify any sites.
Locally Owned Lands Included in the Housing Element Sites Inventory (Table G).
Emeryville did not dispose of any land that was identified in the Housing Element Site Inventory, so the City did not need to identify any sites.
Locally Owned Surplus Sites (Table H).
Emeryville has three locally owned sites (5890, 5900 and 6150 Christie Avenue, 4300 San Pablo Avenue and 3602 Adeline Street) that have been designated Exempt Surplus Land.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 4017B82C-8F4E-4833-9F9B-319234104F43 Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Report Page 10
Emeryville does not have a single-family zoning district nor has it received any requests to subdivide parcels into two equal parcels for residential use, so the City did not need to identify any sites.
Student Housing Development with a Density Bonus (Table J) Emeryville did not have any student housing development, so the City did not need to identify any sites.
Tenant Preference Policy (Table K)
Emeryville does have a local tenant preference policy, which can be found at https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Emeryville/#!/Emeryville09/Emeryville095.html#9-5.408.
LEAP Reporting Table:
The City of Emeryville was awarded $65,000 in Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) funds to support the development of the 2023-2031 Housing Element. The City has requested reimbursement of the full grant amount.
Updated Site Inventory (Program JJ)
One of the programs in the Housing Element is to “update the site inventory list on an annual basis and post it on the City's website.” The tables below provided updated status for all of the sites included in Housing Element Tables 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3. The purpose of this update is to show progress on the projects listed in the Housing Element tables and new projects that have come up since the Housing Element was adopted. Per Program JJ, this information will be posted to the City website after it is submitted to the State.

LU-A-2 Project review and approval
process
In 2023 the City continued to review both minor applications, reviewed and approved by staff, and major projects reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission, and sometimes the City Council. Additionally, the City is processing its third project under SB 35, which mandates ministerial approval (i.e. staff level), and AB 1763, which specifies no density limit for projects within one-half mile of transit. The Christie Avenue Affordable Housing Project is a 100% affordable project with 362 rental units in three separate buildings that also adds 6,000 square feet to Christie Park with an active multiuse court. Normally, this review process would preclude any Planning Commission or City Council review of the project, however, the applicant agreed to hold two study sessions with the Planning Commission which took place in July and December of 2023. The applicant is also seeking input from City committees (Parks and Recreation Committee in March, the Housing Committee in April, and the Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and the Public Art Committee in May) and has held two community-wide project meeting.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation A. Housing Development
Regulatory Program
Implement various Housing Development
Regulatory Programs to ensure the construction
of housing being built is affordable at various
income levels, especially for very low to
moderate-income level households.
Evaluate the feasibility of modifying the
Affordable Housing Program Ordinance to
increase the number of new affordable
ownership residential units, incorporate an
inclusionary housing requirement, increase the
number of affordable rental residential units for
extremely low and developmentally disabled
and to increase the creation of rental residential
units for extremely low and very low-income
people living with physical and/or developmental
disabilities.
Analyze and update the percentage of
affordable housing units required under the
City’s Development Bonus Program, in
response to changes made to the Affordable
Housing Program.
Dec-24 Underway: The City continues to inform all new residential development applicants of the City’s Development Bonus Program, State Density Bonus Program and Affordable Housing Program, as part of the initial application process. Only one(1) application (ZC23-008) submitted in 2023 would be required to comply with one of these programs, as part of receiving their entitlement.
Application ZC23-008 is proposed to be a 100% affordable rental housing project and is anticipated to be processed under the streamlined ministerial approval process (Senate Bill (SB) 35), thereby negating the need to participate in the City’s Development Bonus Program, State Density Bonus Program and exceeding the affordability requirements of the Affordable Housing Program. Entitlements are anticipated on application Z C23-008 in early 2024.
The City drafted a Request for Proposals for consultant services related to analyzing the feasibility of increasing the number and type of affordable housing units required under the Affordable Housing Program and Development Bonus Program. The RFP shall be released in early 2024 and upon consultant selection, the City will evaluate both programs and bring forward recommendations to the City Council for adoption in late 2024.

Processes
Enact streamlined entitlement processes to
accelerate the production of housing.
Establish a written policy or procedure, as
appropriate, to ensure that eligible multifamily
projects with an affordable housing component
are provided streamlined entitlement review as
outlined in Senate Bill (SB) 35.
Seek opportunities to streamline the permitting
process of converting single unit homes to twounit homes, including the possibility of waiving the requirement for Planning Commission
approval for projects that will exceed base FAR.
To investigate the ability to eliminate the need
for a public meeting to determine if the case
warrants an Appeal Hearing.
Dec-24 Underway: One(1) pre-application (ZC23-008) was submitted in 2023 as a potential SB 35 project. The pre-application was determined to be in compliance and the City began the tribal consultation process, as the final step required to determine SB35 applicability. The tribal consultation process is anticipated to be finalized in early 2024 and a complete SB35 application is projected to be submitted immediately thereafter. Application ZC23-008 is proposed to have 362 units so entitlements shall be issued within 180 days.
The City has engaged a consultant to develop documents to assist applicants and City staff in streamlining SB35 projects. Finalization of documents for publication is anticipated in 2024.
C. Objective Design and
Development Standards
Create objective design and development
standards as required under the 2017 Senate
Bill (SB)35 and 2019 SB 330.
Review the Planning Regulations, Design
Regulations, and six Area Plans to identify and
determine if any redundancy exists or if any
obsolete guidelines should be removed.
Dec-23 Complete: In 2023, the City completed the Objective Design Standards project by integrating objective standards into the Planning Regulations and incorporating all subjective items into the Design Guidelines. Both the Planning Regulations and Design Guidelines were also updated to address any inconsistencies that may exist in the six Area Plans. All updates were adopted by the City Council on November 21, 2023, and became effective on December 21, 2023.
D. Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs)
Promote and incentivize the development of
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), including
Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs).
Develop ADU guidance materials to assist
property owners in understanding the process to
develop ADUs/JADUs.
Establish initiatives, such as developing a loan
program for homeowners to construct ADUs
affordable to lower income households.
Engage with existing multifamily property
owners to discuss capacity for adding ADUs in
multi-unit developments.
Dec-27 Underway: In 2023, City ministerially reviewed 8 ADU applications to create 13 ADUs, approved entitlements for 10 ADU applications to create 22 ADUs, provided building permits for 14 ADUs and issued Certificate of Occupancy for 4 ADUs.
Additionally, the City participated in the Alameda County ADU Advisory Group to assist in developing a County-wide ADU guidebook and resource center to help Alameda County residents through the entire process of building an ADU. The Alameda County ADU Resource Center website went live in October 2023 and can be found at www.adu.acgov.org.
No action was taken in 2023 to establish an ADU loan program but the City anticipates looking into this objective in 2025.
Appendix B- Housing Element Annual Report 2023 Page 9 of 37 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4017B82C-8F4E-4833-9F9B-319234104F43 E. Adaptive Reuse Examine opportunities to allow for the adaptive reuse/conversion or replacement of vacant or
underperforming commercial spaces and
parking structures into residential units and
analyze the feasibility of adopting an Adaptive
Reuse Ordinance.
Examine the feasibility of requiring the “Future
Proofing of Parking Structures” for all new
parking structures built in Emeryville.
Research the creation of a financial incentive
program to support this program.
Dec-31 Underway: Effective December 21, 2023, the City’s Development Bonus Program was updated to include the design of a convertible parking garage for adaptive reuse as an eligible community benefit option. In order to obtain community benefit points, an applicant would have to design the parking garage to include level stories and vehicle only ramps, without ramped parking, a minimum of 9-ft floor to finish ceiling height, and larger live and deadload loading requirements for non-vehicle uses as well as floor flattening systems, or an applicant could design the garage to include seismically separated sections, which make it feasible to demolish portions of the existing building to allow for construction of another type of facility.
A building permit and certificate of occupancy was issued in 2023 for the conversion of a vacant commercial property located in a low resource area, into two accessory dwelling units.
No other actions were taken in 2023 related to the Adaptive Reuse Program. The city anticipates researching opportunities for the conversion of underperforming and vacant commercial or parking structures in 2024.
F. Impact Fees Evaluate the process for the collection of impact fees for new housing and modify the process to
ensure that smaller, more affordable units are
not unfairly penalized with higher costs, and that
impact fees do not inadvertently incentivize
larger more expensive projects.
Post its written fee schedule on the City’s
website as well as the impact fees associated
with specific projects to ensure compliance with
Assembly Bill (AB) 602
Dec-24 Underway: The City collected $43,654.72 in Housing Impact fees in 2023. On November 21, 2023, the City Council approved the 2022-2023 Development Impact Fee Report in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act. The fee schedule and Annual Impact Fee Report can be found on the City’s website at https://www.ci.emeryville.ca.us/971/Impact-Fees.
The City drafted a Request for Proposals for consultant services related to conducting an impact fee nexus study and evaluating the fee structure to encourage smaller housing projects. The RFP shall be released in early 2024 and upon consultant selection, the City will complete the impact nexus study and evaluate the fee structure.

Dec-31 Underway: Funding for 3600 San Pablo Avenue (Nellie Hannon Gateway) was committed in 2021. Prior to 2023, the City disbursed $2.5M of the development loan for pre-development expenses and in 2023 the City disbursed $11.6 million towards construction. This project is anticipated to be completed in 2024 and the balance of funds will be disbursed at that time.
Funding for 4300 San Pablo Avenue, comes from Alameda County A-1 funds and was committed by the City to this project in 2021. Entitlement was received in 2022, and in 2023 the City submitted a request for an extension of the commencement of construction to the Alameda County Housing and Community Development Department. The developer continues to seek additional financing to commence construction.
Funding for 5890, 5900 and 6150 Christie Avenue (“Christie Avenue”), was committed in 2021.
The City finalized the draft of the Land Disposition and Development Agreement in December 2023 and anticipates obtaining City Council approval in early 2024. The Developer is required to submit an updated financing plan for this project by March 2024 and will begin seeking additional financing to construct the project shortly thereafter.
Funding for 3602 Adeline Street & 1122 36th Street was committed in 2021. The City issued a Request for Proposals for redevelopment of the site in 2022, however no proposal was selected.
A new developer solicitation is scheduled for early 2024.
H. Development Opportunity
Fund
Provide $8.3 million in funding to permit the
strategic acquisition or development of
properties for very low to moderate income
households
Dec-24 No Action: No action was taken in 2023 towards the Development Opportunity Fund. The City anticipated drafting program guidelines in an effort to release a Notice of Funding Availability in late 2024 or early 2025.

Residential Development
Make diligent efforts to contact applicants to
discover why units have not been constructed
within two years after planning entitlement
approval.
Identify actions that may help remove
constraints to development, if due to
nongovernmental constraints.
Proactively work with stakeholders to identify
nongovernmental constraints or other
considerations that may impede the
construction of housing.
Ongoing Ongoing: In November 2022, the City received a request from a developer for a 2-year extension on an entitled project that was nearing its deadline to pull a building permit. In January 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to discuss the Developer's request. The developer explained that due to an architect labor shortage, caused by the Covid 19 pandemic, they were unable to get the building plans ready for submission by the deadline.
The request for the extension was approved and the developer will have until December 9, 2024, to apply for a Building Permit.

Dec-27 Underway: The City was awarded CDBG funds to support a Senior Services Housing Case Manager, or Social Service Provider to provide counseling and case management services to seniors, aged 55 years and older in need of assistance in securing housing or maintaining their home. The City sent out a Request for a Letter of Interest to Service Providers interested in putting on a series of counseling workshops to target Senior Residents that would focus on protecting homeowners from losing their homes and/or equity due to debt, scams, and elder abuse but would also provide resources related to estate planning, aging in place and reverse mortgages. Two proposals were received, and the City will work with the providers on putting together a series of housing and financial literacy related workshops for seniors in 2024.
The City also began initial discussions with a Home Match Service Provider to gather information to determine if the program would be feasible and successful to operate in Emeryville.
Lastly, the City continued to stay in communication with the developer of 4300 San Pablo Avenue (Housing Element Site 10).

Rate (BMR) Rental Units to be updated every
five years and for the marketing plans to identify
the underserved populations in the area and
special outreach efforts.
Collect race and ethnicity data for all those that

At The Emery 847 applicants (19%) indicated in their application that they qualified for the Emeryville Live/Work/School preference. At Bayview Emeryville 1260 applicants (27%) indicated in their application that they qualified for the Emeryville Live/Work/School preference.
Those applicants with the Emeryville Live/Work/School preference will be contacted prior to those without a preference to determine their eligibility in leasing a unit to ensure Emeryville residents and employees are not displaced and are able to live close to where they work.
All Emeryville rentals are subject to the Tenant/Landlord Eviction and Harassment Ordinance and the city continued to partner with ECHO Housing to administer this Ordinance on behalf of the City. The City saw an increase in eviction filings in 2023, with 100 eviction notices filed with the Emeryville Clerk’s office. Five (5) residents were counseled by ECHO on the Tenant/Landlord Eviction and Harassment Ordinance and 35 residents were counseled by ECHO on other tenant/landlord issues.
Hello Housing conducted 11 on-on-one training sessions with BMR Property Management staff on the BMR requirements in 2023.

XII. EXCESS SURPLUS TEST
This section provides the amount of excess surplus in the LMIHAF, if any, and the length of time that the Housing Successor has had excess surplus, and the Housing Successor’s plan for eliminating the excess surplus.
Excess Surplus is defined in Section 34176.1(d) as an unencumbered amount in the account that exceeds the greater of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the Housing Successor’s preceding four Fiscal Years, whichever is greater.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4017B82C-8F4E-4833-9F9B-319234104F43 8 The Housing Successor must expend or encumber any excess surplus within three fiscal years. If the Housing Successor fails to comply, the Housing Successor must transfer excess surplus to HCD within ninety days of the end of the third fiscal year.
The Housing Successor had $1,554,405 in excess surplus. This excess surplus will be eliminated in next year’s Annual Report, as the City encumbered and expended $4,420,760 on the construction of Nellie Hannon Gateway, a 90-unit, 100% affordable housing project located at 3600 San Pablo Avenue, Emeryville in FY22/23, which is not reflective in the excess surplus calculation.
