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.
Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Report Page 2
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, 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:
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) 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.
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.
Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Report Page 7
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) 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.”

Sites Identified or Rezoned to Accommodate Shortfall Housing Need (Table C) Emeryville did not have a shortfall of housing sites, so the City did not need to identify or rezone additional sites.
Emeryville 2023 General Plan Annual Report Page 9
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.

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.
