Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Emeryville Authorizing The City Manager To Submit An Application For Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) And Planning Implementation Grant Funds From The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) For An Amount Up To $1,700,000
WHEREAS, in September 2022, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) adopted the Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) Policy to support the region's transit investments by creating communities around transit stations and along transit corridors that not only enable transit ridership, but also are places where Bay Area residents of all abilities, income levels, and racial and ethnic backgrounds can live, work, and access services; and
WHEREAS, the TOC Policy focuses on the core elements of land use density, affordable housing, parking management, and complete streets/multimodal access to implement Plan Bay Area 2050 strategies; and
WHEREAS, the TOC Policy applies to the half-mile area around existing and planned fixed guideway transit stops and stations (i.e., regional rail, commuter rail, light-rail transit, bus rapid transit, and ferries); and
WHEREAS, on September 30, 2024, MTC announced that it is releasing approximately $20 million for local planning and policy development across all four components of the TOC Policy; and
WHEREAS, eligible uses of funding include technical assistance and staff time to create and implement policies that will help jurisdictions to comply with each policy area; and WHEREAS, eligible applicants are jurisdictions with at least one TOC area and an adopted Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the City of Emeryville qualifies as an eligible applicant due to the presence of the Amtrak station and because the City has an adopted and certified Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to apply for two of the Program Funds: Specific Plans and Zoning Changes and Implementation of Housing policies for the maximum amount up to $1,700,000; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Emeryville hereby authorizes the City Manager to submit an application for up to $1,700,000 in grant funding in response to the MTC’s call for applications for TOC and Planning grants.
