RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an Ordinance of the City of Mountain View Amending Article V of Chapter 29 of the Mountain View City Code to Align i t with State Law, Clarify Real Property Conveyance Tax Exemptions, and to Make Other Clarifying Amendments, to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 to the Council report). (First reading: 7-0)
SUMMARY
On April 28, 2026, City Council introduced an ordinance amending the Real Property Conveyance Tax Ordinance. Section 29.86 of the Mountain View City Code authorizes the City Council to amend Article V of Chapter 29, provided that such amendments do not increase tax rates or otherwise constitute a tax increase requiring voter approval, and specifically authorizes the Council to establish exemptions from the tax.
The proposed ordinance amendments will streamline tax administration and collection, and improve efficiency by aligning the exemptions in Chapter 29 with those set forth in the California Revenue and Taxation Code, which governs and supersedes local law in this area. Aligning Chapter 29 exemptions with the California Revenue and Taxation Code will not eliminate any existing exemptions but will instead ensure the City Code is consistent with controlling state law.
The proposed ordinance amendments will also streamline the administration and collection of the tax by removing or revising outdated and unclear language. None of the proposed amendments will increase the tax rates or affect the amount of tax revenue collected.
If adopted, the ordinance will be effective thirty days thereafter, on June 11, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with this action.

N ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW AMENDING ARTICLE V OF CHAPTER 29 OF
THE MOUNTAIN VIEW CITY CODE TO ALIGN IT WITH STATE LAW, CLARIFY REAL PROPERTY
CONVEYANCE TAX EXEMPTIONS, AND TO MAKE OTHER CLARIFYING AMENDMENTS WH
EREAS, pursuant to Article V of Chapter 29 of the Mountain View City Code, which was adopted in 1973, the City of Mountain View imposes a Real Property Conveyance Tax on the transfer or conveyance of interests in real property if the consideration exceeds one hundred dollars ($100) (“Real Property Conveyance Tax Ordinance”); and W
HEREAS, the City of Mountain View submitted a ballot measure to the voters for the November 5, 2024, General Election to increase the Real Property Conveyance Tax for transactions when the value of the consideration ( as defined in the Real Property Conveyance Tax Ordinance) exceeds six million dollars (“Measure G”); and W
HEREAS, the voters of Mountain View approved Measure G by over seventy-two percent (72%), and transactions exceeding six million dollars are now subject to a tax of fifteen dollars for each one thousand dollars of the value of the consideration; and W
HEREAS, Section 29.86 of the Mountain View City Code authorizes the City Council to amend Article V of Chapter 29, provided that such amendments do not increase tax rates or otherwise constitute a tax increase requiring voter approval, and specifically authorizes the Council to establish exemptions from the tax; and
W
HEREAS, Chapter 29 of the Mountain View City Code contains several exemptions that have not been modified or updated since 1973; and
W
HEREAS, over the past 52 years, substantial changes in California law have rendered certain terminology in the Mountain View City Code outdated, resulting in confusion and frustration for taxpayers and creating redundancies and inefficiencies for City and Santa Clara County staff in the collection and administration of the tax; and W
HEREAS, the City seeks to streamline the administration and collection of the tax and improve efficiency by amending the exemptions set forth in Chapter 29 of the Mountain View City Code to align them with the exemptions set forth in the California Revenue and Taxation Code; and
WH
EREAS, aligning Chapter 29 exemptions with the California Revenue and Taxation Code will not eliminate any existing exemptions, but will instead ensure that the City Code is consistent with controlling state law; and
Attachment 1

WHEREAS, the City also seeks to amend the Real Property Conveyance Tax Ordinance to remove or revise outdated and unclear provisions; and
WHEREAS, aligning Chapter 29 exemptions with the California Revenue and Taxation Code and removing or revising outdated and unclear provisions will not increase the tax rates and will not affect the amount of tax revenue collected.

TITLE: Renewal of Downtown Parking
Maintenance and Operation Assessment
District for Fiscal Year 2026-27
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Approving the Annual Engineer’s Report for the Downtown Parking Maintenance and Operation Assessment District No. 2 and Approving the Levying of Assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27, to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 to the Council report).
BACKGROUND
On June 29, 1979, the City Council approved the formation of the Downtown Parking Maintenance and Operation Assessment District No. 2 (Assessment District) to adequately fund the continued maintenance and operation of the City’s downtown public parking facilities (Attachment 2—Assessment District Map). Downtown property owners created the Assessment District under the premise that both commercial and residential properties in the Assessment District benefit from: (1) the provision and maintenance of public parking facilities regardless of property use; (2) the location of the property owner’s parcel relative to public parking facilities; and (3) the amount of parking provided on-site.
The Assessment District supports the availability of convenient, safe, and attractive public parking and pedestrian alleyways connecting the public parking facilities to Castro Street. As part of the Assessment District’s creation, the City developed a Do wntown Parking Permit Program.
Businesses and their employees, property owners, and residents within the Assessment District may purchase permits. The permits allow permit holders to park for up to eight hours per day, Monday through Friday, at specifically designated public parking facilities.
The Assessment District must conform to Mountain View City Code Section 17.128.30 and any applicable provisions of state and county law.
Currently, property owners in the Assessment District are assessed annually for a proportionate share of downtown public parking facility maintenance and operation costs based on a two-part 25 Renewal of Downtown Parking Maintenance and
Operation Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026-27
May 12, 2026
assessment formula: (1) land use and parking requirements for all properties within the Assessment District; and (2) property square footage. Seventy -five percent (75%) of the maintenance and operation assessment is calculated and allocated on the basis o f land use and parking requirements , and 25% of the assessment is calculated according to the size of each property. Modification of the total assessment, including the assessment formula, must comply with the City Code and any applicable provisions of state law. The annual assessment amount is determined by the Assessment District Engineer’s Report, which must be approved annually by Council pursuant to the City Code. A ssessments are then collected through the Santa Clara County Assessor’s Office on the annual property tax rolls. The annual median assessment per site is approximately $100, while the average assessment is $652. The assessment formula has not changed since Fiscal Year 1996-97.
ANALYSIS
Recommended Fiscal Year 2026-27 Assessment
The purpose of this agenda item is to renew the Assessment District and approve the Annual Engineer’s Report (Exhibit A of Attachment 1) pursuant to the estimated cost of maintenance and operations of downtown public parking facilities and the assessments for each property owner.
Staff recommends that the total assessment for Fiscal Year 2026-27 remain at $158,606, which is the same amount that has been in place for the past 30 years.
Assessment District Revenues
The Downtown Parking Assessment District’s preliminary revenues for Fiscal Year 2026-27 are estimated at $2.27 million. These funds, which support the maintenance and operating expenses of the City’s downtown public parking facilities, are derived from several distinct sources , in addition to the annual assessment, as shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Downtown Parking District Revenues
Funding Source Amount
Assessment District $156,606
Property Tax Revenue $1,300,000
Investment Earnings $635,000
Permit Program Revenue $156,000
Other Revenue $20,000
TOTAL $2,267,606
The Assessment District receives no General Fund revenues.
26 Renewal of Downtown Parking Maintenance and
Operation Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026-27
May 12, 2026
Separate from these funding sources for operations and maintenance, the Assessment District may also receive parking in-lieu fees to be reserved for the creation of new parking. Such fees are paid by developers when they propose new construction or a change of use that increases the amount of parking required and the developer chooses to pay the in- lieu fee rather than provide the required parking on-site.
State Laws Impacting Parking District Funds
With the passage of Assembly Bill 2097, municipalities are no longer able to require off- street parking for most land uses. Accordingly, this has reduced the opportunity to collect parking in - lieu fees for projects that are within one -half mile of transit. This will impact the availability of funding to build and make improvements to parking facilities within the Assessment District. To address the anticipated reduction in in lieu fee revenue, the Downtown Parking Strategy identified the following potential options:
• Requiring stronger transportation demand management measures for projects,
• Revamping the fee structure for the Downtown Parking Permit Program that currently allows office and other uses to utilize select public parking lots for more than the three-hour limit, and
• Implementing paid parking.
Staff is currently working on the implementation of Downtown Parking Strategy recommendations and will bring an update to Council in the Fall.
Uses of Assessment District Funds
The Assessment District supports the operations and maintenance of downtown public parking facilities as well as the implementation of downtown parking projects. Previous projects funded include a study of the City’s Downtown Parking Permit Program, the evaluation and identification of parking technology solutions, and a parking consultant who developed guidelines for a valet parking program. The Assessment District is currently funding ongoing maintenance, including janitorial services , and implementatio n of the Downtown Parking Strategy . The Assessment District also continues to fund a Police Assistant position to focus on downtown parking enforcement efforts.
27 Renewal of Downtown Parking Maintenance and
Operation Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026-27
May 12, 2026
FISCAL IMPACT
If the Engineer’s Report and the renewal of the assessment are approved, a total of $158,606 will be levied on 224 property owners within the Assessment District to fund the maintenance and operation of the downtown parking facilities that serve residents, businesses, and visitors . All Assessment District revenues are deposited into the Parking District Fund, a dedicated fund used exclusively for parking -related expenses, including parking operations, maintenance, and associated program costs.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not approve the resolution recommended by staff. If the resolution is not adopted, the City would need to identify alternative funding to maintain the downtown public parking facilities.
2. Provide other direction. Any changes to the Assessment District boundaries or assessment formula would require further action(s) pursuant to the City Code and/or state law.
LEVINE ACT
California Government Code Section 84308 (also known as the Levine Act) prohibits city officials from participating in any proceeding involving a “license, permit, or other entitlement for use” if the official has received a campaign contribution exceeding $500 from a party, participant, or agent of a party or participant within the last 12 months. The Levine Act is intended to prevent financial influence on decisions that affect specific, identifiable persons or participants. For more information, see the Fair Political Practices Commission website: www.fppc.ca.gov/learn/pay- to-play-limits-and-prohibitions.html.
Please see below for information about whether the recommended action for this agenda item is subject to or exempt from the Levine Act.

6 RULES FOR SPREADING ASSESSMENT
Each assessment shall be comprised of two components—one based on land use and the other on parcel area. Approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of the annual assessment shall be on the basis of land use, while the remaining twenty-five (25%) of the annual assessment shall be on the basis of parcel area. The total of all assessed properties within the district is One Hundred Fifty-Eight Thousand Six Hundred Six Dollars ($158,606).
Therefore, the ratio of total assessment is $118,606 for land use and $40,000 for parcel area.
I. LAND USE COMPONENT
This component will be based on the total number of off-street parking spaces required by a given land use according to the City of Mountain View Parking Ordinance, Section 36.37.1, Article IV of Chapter 36 of the Mountain View City Code (Appendix A). Vacant buildings will be assessed according to their most recent land use. For properties which have more than one land use, the assessment will be calculated for each land use and then added to get the total assessment for this component.
For Assessment Parcel No. 130, a credit will be given for the land use component to offset services provided to the community. The number of parking spaces assigned to the existing land use on Assessment Parcel No. 130 is zero (0).
The total number of parking spaces required within the district is 6,065. Based on the aforementioned 75 percent ratio and total land use component being $118,606, the fee per required parking space is $19.55581204.
II. PARCEL AREA COMPONENT
This component is based on the parcel area in square footage. In the case of multi-unit residential subdivisions, the area calculated will be on the square footage of the individual unit.
The total parcel area in the district is 931,220 square feet. Based on the 25 percent ratio and the total parcel area component being $40,000, the fee per square foot of parcel area is $0.042954404.

Each land use shall provide the minimum number of off-street parking spaces required by this Section, inclusive of accessible and electric vehicle (EV) charging spaces required per Chapter 8 of the city code. a. Uses not listed. Land uses not specifically listed in subsection c below shall provide parking as required by the zoning administrator. In determining appropriate off-street parking requirements, the zoning administrator shall use the requirements of subsection c below as a general guide in determining the minimum number of off-street parking spaces necessary to avoid undue interference with public use of streets and alleys.
b. Exemptions.
1. Parking requirements near major transit stops.
(a) No minimum number of parking spaces is required for residential or nonresidential development on properties located within one-half (1/2) mile of a major transit stop as defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, unless the city makes written findings in accordance with Government Code Section 65863.2 (b). (b) Subsection (a) above shall not apply to a project where any portion is designated for use as a hotel (except a residential hotel as defined in Section 50519 of the Health and Safety Code), motel, bed and breakfast inn or other transient lodging (i.e., short-term rentals), which shall instead meet the minimum number of parking spaces required for each applicable use in subsection c (Parking requirements by land use), below. Notwithstanding subsection (a), an event center shall provide parking as required for employees and other workers.
(c) Any new development exempt from minimum parking standards per Government Code Section 65863.2 must provide electric vehicle equipment-installed parking spaces or parking spaces that are accessible to persons with disabilities that would have otherwise applied to the development as required by Government Code Section 65863.2(f). (d) If parking is provided voluntarily under subsection (a), the city may impose requirements for car-share vehicles, require spaces for public use or require parking owners to charge for parking.
2. Moffett Boulevard general plan change area.
(a) No minimum number of parking spaces is required for the residential component of any development in the Moffett Boulevard general plan change area. c. Parking requirements by land use. The following minimum number of parking spaces shall be provided for each use:

ANNUAL RENEWAL OF THE DOWNTOWN PARKING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (PARKING DISTRICT)
Dear Downtown Property Owner:
The City of Mountain View is undertaking the annual renewal of the Downtown Parking Maintenance Assessment District (Parking District). The Parking District has been in existence since 1979 and supports the continued maintenance and operations of downtown public parking facilities. Downtown property owners created the Parking District (Enclosure—Parking District Map) under the premise that both commercial and residential properties in the Parking District benefit equally from the provision and maintenance of public parking facilities regardless of the use and location of the property relative to the public parking facilities and the amount of a parking provided on-site.
The purpose of the renewal is to approve the annual assessments through a City Council meeting on May 12, 2026. Each year since 1979, the assessment formula has been uniformly applied to all property owners within the Parking District. The formula is based 75% on land use parking demand and 25% on parcel area.
Any increase to the fixed annual total Parking District assessment amount of $158,606, an expansion of the Parking District’s boundaries, or a modification of the formula would trigger the requirement for a Parking District-wide vote. Staff is recommending the total assessment, formula, and Parking District boundaries remain the same as the previous year.
The Parking District continues to fund the maintenance and operations of the downtown public parking system, and the Parking District also funds the continued implementation of downtown parking projects.
Current projects include the implementation of the Downtown Parking Strategy. For more information about downtown parking, visit our website, https://econdev.mountainview.gov/downtown/downtown-parking- permits. If you have any questions or need additional information, contact Amanda Rotella at [email protected] or 650-903-6457. Thank you for your continued support in making downtown Mountain View successful.
Sincerely,
Amanda Rotella
Economic Vitality Manager

TITLE: Appropriation of Senate Bill 129 Funds
for the Lot 12 Affordable Housing Project
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View appropriating $8,000,000 in State Funds Received Pursuant to Senate Bill 129 for the Lot 12 Affordable Housing Project, to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 to the Council r eport). (Five v otes required)
BACKGROUND
In July 2021, the State adopted Senate Bill (SB) 129, which included $8.0 million in State funding for affordable housing in Mountain View. This funding was secured through the leadership of State Senator Josh Becker and is intended to support the City’s Lot 12 project, a 120 -unit affordable housing development in downtown Mountain View. The City subsequently accepted the funds through the California Department of Housing and Community Development and incorporated them into the City’s funding for Lot 12, which totals $23.45 million.
On March 14, 2023, the City Council appropriated $ 8.0 million in SB 129 funds for the Lot 12 project, which was subsequently reappropriated in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget. As the funds were not expended during the fiscal year, the appropriation lapsed in accordance with the City’s budget policies and is no longer available for expenditure.
ANALYSIS
The proposed action is a technical budget “clean-up” item necessary to align prior Council actions with the City’s current budget process. This action includes reappropriating previously approved SB 129 funds that lapsed and are not currently budgeted for expenditure. It does not represent new funding or an increase in the City’s total commitment of $23.45 million f or the project .
Rather, it formalizes the reappropriation and availability of previously awarded and accepted State SB 129 funds for their intended use for the Lot 12 project. This appropriation clean -up 55 Appropriation of Senate Bill 129 Funds for the Lot 12 Affordable Housing Project May 12, 2026
action will make the funds in the executed loan agreement available for project costs and will not impact project timing; construction has already begun and is expected to be completed in 2028.
Appropriating the funds at this time will:
• Make the $8 million in State funding available in the 2025- 26 Fiscal Year Budget , with any unspent funds reappropriated in future fiscal years through the budget process;
• Allow staff to include the funds in the project’s purchase order and disbursement process , allowing the developer’s construction cost invoices to be paid; and
• Ensure consistency between Council -approved project financing and the City’s accounting records.
The SB 129 funds will continue to be provided to the developer as a loan under the same general terms and conditions as other City housing funds for the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the City’s General Fund or housing funds, as this action does not increase the City’s total subsidy commitment. Instead, it enables the use of SB 129 funds that have already been secured and received from the State.
Approval of the recommended action will appropriate $8,000,000 in previously awarded State SB 129 funds into the Lot 12 project budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26, making the funds available for expenditure.
LEVINE ACT
California Government Code Section 84308 (also known as the Levine Act) prohibits city officials from participating in any proceeding involving a “license, permit, or other entitlement for use” if the official has received a campaign contribution exceeding $500 from a party, participant, or agent of a party or participant within the last 12 months. The Levine Act is intended to prevent financial influence on decisions that affect specific, identifiable persons or participants. For more information see the Fair Political Practices Commission website: www.fppc.ca.gov/learn/pay-to- play-limits-and-prohibitions.html
Please see below for information about whether the recommended action for this agenda item is subject to or exempt from the Levine Act.

WHEREAS, the subject property has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential; and
WHEREAS, the subject property is locatedin the R1-10sd (Single -FamilyResidential/Special Design) Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan sets a goal for an expanded and enhanced park and open space system to meet current City needs for parks and open space based on population growth arising from new residential development. New residential subdivisions have a significant impact on the use and availability of park and recreation space and facilities; and WHEREAS, this project is associated with a new residential subdivision and is, therefore, subject to the City' s Park Land Dedication Ordinance ( Chapter 41 of the Mountain View City Code City Code)), which requires dedication of park land in the amount of three acres per 1,000 residents or payment of an in -lieu fee; and
WHEREAS, a parklanddedicationor paymentof a ParkLandDedicationIn -LieuFeeiscritical to provide needed park facilities for the occupantsof this project becauseit is located in the Sylvan -Dale Planning Area identified in the 2014 Parks and Open Space Plan, which is an area having a deficiencyof 10. 14acresof park land for existing residentsof the area basedon the 1 Attachment 2
72 Resolution No. 18972
General Plan standard of 3.0 acres of park land per 1,000 residents. The Sylvan -Dale Planning Area is currently developed with 9.05 acres of park land where 19.18 acres of park land is required to serve the current population. Therefore, there currently are not adequate park land facilities available for occupants of this project, and additional park facilities are necessary; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Administrator and Subdivision Committee held a duly noticed public hearing on February 12, 2025 on said application and recommended the City Council conditionally approve the Vesting Tentative Map, Development Review Permit, Special Design Permit, and Heritage Tree Removal Permit for the project, subject to the attached findings and conditions of approval, attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on March 13, 2025 on said application and received and considered all evidence presented at said hearing, including the recommendation from the Subdivision Committee and Zoning Administrator, the City Council report, and project materials, and determined that the Vesting Tentative Map is consistent with the applicable zoning and subdivision requirements in the General Plan and the City Code; and WHEREAS, on that same date, the City Council adopted a companion resolution conditionally approving a Development Review Permit, Density Bonus Application, Special Design Permit, and Heritage Tree Removal Permit and finding the project exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) pursuant to CEQAGuidelines Section 15332 and Section 15302; and
WHEREAS, subdivision of the property will facilitate the development of the project site consistent with applicable provisions of the General Plan; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED: that, based on substantial evidence in the record, the City Council of the City of Mountain View ( City) finds the project to be categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQAGuidelines Section 15332 (" In - Fill Development") and Section 15302 (" Replacement or Reconstruction") as set forth in the companion resolution and as described in further detail below; and be it FURTHERRESOLVED: that the City Council hereby makes the following findings regarding the Vesting Tentative Tract Map (Application No. PL-2023- 205):
A. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. ( Gov. Code §§ 66473. 5, 66474) The subdivision is compatible with General Plan policies — specifically, the project supports the General Plan Policies LUD 3.5 ( Diversity) by providing housing for a range of diverse households and incomes, LUD 6. 1 ( Neighborhood character), 6.3 ( Street presence), and LUD 6.5 ( Pedestrian and bicycling improvements) by providing frontage improvements, including new utility connections, new landscaping, and new curb, gutter, and sidewalks; z
73 Resolution No. 18972
B_ The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. ( Gov. Code 66474) The site is physically suitable for the proposed 22- unit single- family residential development as the underlying R1 zoning and the Low -Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation allow single- family development in this area. The proposed site plan is developed with units facing an interior street and tree plantings proposed along the perimeter creating development patterns similar to adjacent residential developments.
Although the proposed project density exceeds the permitted density of six dwelling units per acre under the General Plan, the project is providing two very low- income units ( 12% of the base project of 16 units) and qualifies for a 38.75% density bonus ( seven additional units) under State Density Bonus Law. The proposed site design adequately accommodates vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation to meet requirements for life safety, City services, and occupants of the project. Additionally, the proposed Subdivision Map facilitates the construction of a new 22-unit single-family development that can be fully served by the physical infrastructure and services provided within the City; C. The proposed design of the subdivision and improvements, as conditioned, will not cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. ( Gov. Code § 66474) The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, as conditioned, will not cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat as the project site complies with the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) as a categorically exempt project under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (" In - Fill Development") and Section 15302 (" Replacement or Reconstruction") and none of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300. 2 apply. In addition, the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The project site is currently developed with residential and commercial uses.
Vegetation on the site consists of landscape trees and fruit trees. The project will be required to comply with the City's standard tree replacement requirements outlined in the City Code and the City's standard conditions of approval.
No species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species are known to occur at the site location, and no sensitive or jurisdictional habitats are present at or adjacent to the site. The site is not part of any habitat conservation plan. Therefore, the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species, and the project would meet this criterion under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332( c); D. The design of the subdivision and its improvements will not cause serious public health problems. ( Gov. Code § 66474) The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because the project will be consistent with the policies included in the General Plan and the City Code and will be subject to standard conditions of approval to protect public health, safety, convenience, and welfare. Proposed public (off -site) improvements are designed to meet applicable City design standards and the City Code. Additionally, the project will be further reviewed for compliance with Building and Fire Codes to ensure on -site improvements comply with applicable codes for safe habitation;

74 Resolution No. 18972
E. The design of the subdivision and its improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the subdivision. ( Gov. Code § 66474) The subdivision and improvements as conditioned will not conflict with existing easements;
F. For a proposed subdivision with more than five hundred ( 500) dwelling units, water will be available and sufficient to serve the proposed subdivision in accordance with Section 66473. 7 of the Subdivision Map Act. ( Gov. Code § 66473. 7) This finding does not apply because the project proposes only 22 single-family residential units; G. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the sewer system will not violate regional water quality control regulations. ( Gov. Code § 66474. 6) The subdivision will not result in the discharge of waste into the sewer system that would violate regional water quality control regulations;
H. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. ( Gov. Code § 66473. 1) The subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities; The City has considered the effects on housing needs of the region in which the local jurisdiction is situated and balanced these needs against the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. ( Gov. Code § 66412. 3) In approving the Vesting Tentative Map, the City Council has considered its effect upon the housing needs of the region balanced with the public service needs of Mountain View residents and available fiscal and environmental resources; and J. The imposition of the City' s Park Land Dedication In Lieu fees for this project is based on the following: The park land dedication or payment of a Park Land Dedication In -Lieu Fee is critical to provide needed park facilities for the occupants of this project because it is located in the Sylvan -Dale Planning Area identified in the 2014 Parks and Open Space Plan, which is an area having a deficiency of 10.14 acres of park land for existing residents of the area based on the General Plan standard of 3.0 acres of park land per 1,000 residents. The Sylvan -Dale Planning Area is currently developed with 9.05 acres of park land where
19.18 acres of park land is required to serve the current population. Therefore, there currently are not adequate park land facilities availablefor occupantsof this project, and additional park facilities are necessary; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: that the City Council hereby approves the Vesting Tentative Map Application No. PL- 2023- 205), based on the findings above and subject to the subdivider' s compliance with and fulfillment of all of the conditions of approval, which are attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference as though set forth fully herein. 4-

No. 2 for a Period of 12 Nonconsecutive

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Authorizing Temporary Closure from Public Access of Five Parking Spaces Within Parking Lot No. 2 for 31 Consecutive Weeks and Authorizing Temporary Closure from Public Access of Eight Parking Spaces Within Parking Lot No. 2 for 12 Nonconsecutive Days to Occur Prior to May 25, 2029, to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 to the Council report).
BACKGROUND
On September 27, 2023, Boyd Smith with Smith Development filed a request for a Planned Community Permit and Development Review Permit to construct a 58 -square-foot addition and major facade modifications to an existing multi-tenant commercial building located at 236 Castro Street.
The Zoning Administrator held a public hearing on April 24, 2024 and approved the Planned Community Permit and Development Review Permit (PL -2023-197). The conditions of approval for the permit provide that construction shall not encroach into the Castro Pedestrian Mall and that best-faith efforts shall be made to minimize impacts to businesses and patrons during construction. One of the project conditions of approval noted that temporary construction access would be required through Parking Lot No. 2 to accommodate the project.
On October 22, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 18940 authorizing the temporary closure from public access of 13 spaces within Parking Lot No. 2 for 14 days to occur prior to April 2025. As the construction management plans were being coordinated between City staff and the developer, a need was identified for long-term storage of construction materials staging for the project longer than was initially anticipated. The resolution adopted by the City Council on October 22, 2024 authorized 13 parking spaces in Parking Lot No. 2 to be closed to support the front fa cade reconstruction and the use of a large crane to conduct the work. After more discussion with the developer, additional materials are needed to complete construction of the 87 Temporary Closure from Public Access of Five Parking Spaces in Parking Lot No. 2 for a Period of 31 Consecutive Weeks and Eight Parking Spaces in Parking Lot No. 2 for a Period of 12 Nonconsecutive Days to Occur Prior to May 25, 2029 May 12, 2026
whole project and, therefore, more long-term storage of materials is needed to successful ly complete the full interior and exterior renovations and addition.
On February 25, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 18967 authorizing the temporary closure of six parking spaces for 24 weeks and seven parking spaces for a period of 1 4 days to occur prior to February 25, 2026.
ANALYSIS
Construction timelines often adjust as project conditions evolve. The revised timeline for this project requires a shift in the approval window beyond that authorized in Resolution No. 18967.
Additionally, as the construction management plans were being finalized, the configuration of parking stalls was also adjusted to preserve an accessible parking space.
Figure 1 demonstrates the parking stall configuration within Parking Lot No. 2 outlined by two red boxes labeled A and B. Area A will be used for partial staging and the use of a crane for 1 2 nonconsecutive days. Area B will be used for 31 consecutive weeks for construction staging and materials deliveries to 236 Castro Street.
Figure 1: Parking Lot No. 2—Temporary Closure of 13 Spaces
It is anticipated that the delivery of building materials will take place immediately after issuance of the license agreement. The staging and use of the crane is anticipated to occur over 12 nonconsecutive days across different phases of the project.

FISCAL IMPACT
Parking Lot No. 2 does not currently allow downtown parking permits ; therefore, there are no direct fiscal impacts to the Downtown Parking Permit program.
Execution of a license agreement with Smith Development will result in one -time revenue of $12,088 to the City during the temporary closure period.
All costs associated with post ing and maintaining “No Parking” signage will be borne by Smith Development, resulting in no additional cost to the City.
LEVINE ACT
California Government Code Section 84308 (also known as the Levine Act) prohibits city officials from participating in any proceeding involving a “license, permit, or other entitlement for use” if the official has received a campaign contribution exceeding $500 from a party, participant, or agent of a party or participant within the last 12 months. The Levine Act is intended to prevent financial influence on decisions that affect specific, identifiable persons or participants.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City of Mountain View’s street network spans over 140 centerline miles and covers just under 31 million square feet of pavement. The pavement improvement program includes maintenance and rehabilitation of this critical asset, including applying the appropriate pavement treatments of slurry seal, asphalt concrete overlay, or reconstruction . To preserve and manage the City’s roadway network, the City uses several funding sources, including state gas taxes, regional community taxes, and the Measure B Transportation Improvement Program, funded by Santa Clara County’s general sales tax.
94 Annual Street Maintenance, Project 24-01–Various Actions May 12, 2026
On June 11, 2024, Council authorized a professional service s agreement with Siegfried, Inc. , to provide design and construction support services for the project, in a total not-to-exceed amount of $420,000. As previously noted to Council, to catch up on the backlog of pavement projects, and gain efficiencies of scale , staff combined two Annual Street Maintenance projects, Projects 23-01 and 24- 01 into one larger project (Project 24 -01). The scope includes pavement and striping improvements, which include new high-visibility crosswalks throughout the project, and bicycle pavement markings along suggested routes along Rock Street and Victory Avenue as shown in Table 1 and Figure 1.

Figure 1: Project Location Map
96 Annual Street Maintenance, Project 24-01–Various Actions May 12, 2026
The project scope includes repairing localized roadway failures and applying slurry seal pavement treatment. Through field investigations during design, staff identified pavement conditions in several locations along those streets were more severe than expected. As a result, it was determined that additional dig-outs to repair base failure were needed. Addressing the base failures before application of the slurry seal treatment is critical to prolonging the life of the roadway. A slurry seal is preventative maintenance and does not provide any structural support; without addressing base failures the roadway would continue to degrade. This additional dig - out scope require s additional funding, and staff recommends adding funding to the project to address the deteriorated conditions rather than deferring this work to a future year and risk increasing the cost of future repair. Additionally, staff identified an opportunity to provide active transportation improvements, including the addition or upgra de of crosswalks to high-visibility ladder striping and Class III bicycle route striping along a suggested route to school on Rock Street and Victory Avenue.
The plans and specifications for the project are complete. If Council approves the recommended actions and a responsive bid within the available project budget is received, construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2026 and be completed in fall 2026, pending weather and temperature. Public noticing will occur prior to and during construction.
In total, the project will rehabilitate approximately 992,000 square feet of pavement and provide or refresh approximately 45,000 linear feet of pavement markings on the streets identified.
Environmental Clearance
In accordance with CEQA, staff has reviewed the scope of this project and determined that it meets the classification for categorically exempt as Class 1, Existing Facilities, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301(c), as it consists of repair and maintenance of existing pavement and pavement striping. Staff recommends that Council make findings that, in accordance with the CEQA requirements, the project is categorically exempt as Class 1, Existing Facilities, under CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Article 19 of the California Code of Regulations) Section 15301(c).

City Administration 306,000
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST $5,008,282
PROJECT BUDGET $4,508,282
PROJECT SHORTFALL $500,000
The project shortfall is due to an increase in additional pavement base failure remedy which has added to the project cost. An increase in appropriations of $ 500,000 is requested to fully fund the project. Staff recommends that Council transfer and appropriate $ 1,000,000 from the 2016 Measure B – Sales Tax Fund to Annual Street Maintenance , Project 2 4-01; and transfer and reduce appropriation of $500,000 of Construction funding from Annual Street Maintenance, Project 24-01, to the Construction Tax Fund. This results in an additional net appropriation of 98 Annual Street Maintenance, Project 24-01–Various Actions May 12, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Finding that a Portion of City- Owned Property within the Bryant Street Parking Lot is Excess to the City’s Needs, Declaring the Property to be E xempt Surplus Land Pursuant to the Surplus Land Act, a nd Authorizing its Conveyance, to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 of the Council report).
BACKGROUND
The City owns the Bryant Street Parking Lot (APN 158 -13-052) in downtown Mountain View, a public surface parking lot (see Figure 1).
A small portion of the lot, approximately 164 square feet, is located along the rear of the adjacent property at 236 Castro Street, which was constructed in 1963. As part of due diligence for tenant improvements at 236 Castro, it was identified that a portion of the existing two-story commercial building, not merely a roof overhang, physically extends into this area.
The City has evaluated options to address this existing encroachment and determined that conveyance of the affected area is the most appropriate mechanism to align property boundaries with the current building footprint.
ANALYSIS
The subject area is a minor, irregular portion of the parking lot located along the rear property line beneath a portion of an existing building. Due to its size, configuration, and location, the area does not function as a standalone or usable City asset. It is not accessible for independent use and does not support parking, circulation, or other operational functions of the lot.
The proposed conveyance resolves an existing encroachment condition by aligning ownership with the current built condition. The transfer would not result in any loss of parking spaces, changes to circulation, or impacts to public access or use of the Bryant Street Parking Lot. 102
Authorization to Convey a Portion of City-Owned Property (Portion of APN 158-13-052) Adjacent to 236 Castro Street May 12, 2026
Staff evaluated retention of the property and did not identify a feasible municipal use given the physical constraints of the site and the presence of the existing building encroachment. Retaining the property would result in a small, constrained area that is not usable on its own and does not support any City operations.
An independent appraisal was obtained to establish fair market value, and the proposed purchase price of $44,000 is supported by that valuation, reflecting the limited size and constrained nature of the property.
The conveyance and lot line adjustment must be completed before the building can be occupied, consistent with the approved building permit plans. This ensures the property boundaries are corrected prior to final inspection and use of the building.

TITLE: Repeal and Reenact Article X
(Transportation Demand Management)
of Chapter 19 (Motor Vehicles and
Traffic) of the Mountain View City Code
to Establish a Citywide TDM Program
RECOMMENDATION
Introduce an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Repealing and Reenacting Article X of Chapter 19 of the Mountain View City Code to Establish a New Transportation Demand Management Program, to be read in title only, further reading waived, and set a second reading for May 26, 2026 (Attachment 1 to the Council report).
BACKGROUND
The City has long focused on reducing single -occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips on its roadways and on providing incentives and opportunities for travelers to use alternative transportation methods. Transportation accounts for more than 60% of carbon emissions in Mountain View, with drive-alone trips representing the biggest contributor to emissions and pollution.
In 1994, the City adopted a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance (Article X) of Chapter 16 (Section 19.120) to comply with Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) Congestion Management Program (CMP) in accordance with California Statute, Govern ment Code 65088.
The CMP’s goal is to develop a transportation improvement program to enhance multi -modal transportation system performance, land- use decision -making, and air quality across local jurisdictions. The City is required to annually certify its compliance with CMP legislation to the Congestion Management Agency . As adopted, the TDM Ordinance provisions require TDM programs of larger employers to achieve reductions in traffic and congestion within the City and the region. This Ordinance is still currently in effect.
On July 10, 2012, the City Council adopted the 2030 General Plan, identifying key mobility goals to promote effective TDM programs for existing and new development. TDM strategies were deemed necessary to advance the City’s goals of managing roadway demand and enhancing mobility by incentivizing alternative transportati on options, such as transit, walking, bicycling, and carpooling.
111
Repeal and Reenact Article X (Transportation Demand Management) of Chapter 19 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) of the Mountain View City Code to Establish a Citywide TDM Program
May 12, 2026
In August 2012, Council approved the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program (GGRP ). The GGRP aims to implement General Plan mobility policies, comply with state climate change legislation (Senate Bill (SB) 375 and Assembly Bill (AB) 32), and comply with regional Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) guidelines. Since transp ortation-related emissions account for nearly 60% of Citywide emissions, addressing transportation is a major focus of the City’s efforts under the GGRP. The GGRP established the following:
1. Mandatory commute trip reductions for development projects generating new employment;
2. TDM requirements for new development in certain areas of the City; and
3. Planned actions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including Measure T -1.1, Transportation Demand Management, which calls for adoption of a Citywide TDM Ordinance with TDM performance reporting requirements, procedures, and funding mechanisms.
Since 2014, Council has also adopted four Precise Plans —San Antonio Precise Plan (2014), El Camino Real Precise Plan (2014), North Bayshore Precise Plan (2014), and East Whisman Precise Plan (2019) —that establish TDM requirements for each Precise Plan area. Additionally, the Downtown Precise Plan (1988) provides guidance on trip-reduction plans. However, TDM requirements are uniform only within Precise Plan areas, not on a Citywide basis.
On October 22, 2019, Council adopted the Sustainability Action Plan 4 (SAP-4) that created a fund to advance sustainability actions, including funding to hire a TDM analyst to support the planned expansion of TDM requirements Citywide. The Public Works Department hired a TDM analyst in January 2022, which allowed work to begin on developing a Citywide TDM Ordinance.
On June 22, 2021, Council adopted Strategic Priorities for Fiscal Years 2021 -23, which included developing a Citywide TDM Ordinance to standardize trip- reduction targets across the City and establish uniform TDM monitoring and reporting provisions. On June 13, 2023, Council reaffirmed this item as a Council Priority for Fiscal Years 2023 -25 and categorized development of a Citywide TDM Ordinance as one of the City’s highest priorities. The intent of the Ordinance is to build on the demonstrated effectiveness of TDM in the Precise Plan areas and apply its practice more consistently and predictably on a Citywide basis.

On February 20, 2023, the City executed a contract with Steer Davies & Gleave, Inc., to provide professional services to support the development of a Citywide TDM Ordinance. The project team has undertaken the following tasks:
• Reviewing and analyzing the regulatory context and existing TDM requirements.
• Defining the vision, goals, and principles for the TDM Ordinance.
• Developing a draft framework for the Citywide Ordinance, including analysis of approaches in peer and best practice cities.
• Engaging an internal Technical Advisory Committee consisting of City staff from Economic Vitality, Planning, Sustainability, Traffic, Transportation, and Land Development.
• Engaging with community members, developers, employers, and property managers, including meetings with the Downtown Business Association on June 13, 2023, Mountain View Chamber of Commerce on June 14, 2023, Mountain View Transportation Management Association (TMA) Board on May 25, 2023 and May 30, 2024, a community meeting on January 21, 2025, and 14 one-on-one conversations with stakeholders.
• Presenting key deliverables and gathering feedback from the following advisory bodies:
— The Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) reviewed the project vision and objectives on October 25, 2023 and TDM Policy framework on January 29, 2025;
— The Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) reviewed the project vision and objectives on November 1, 2023 and TDM Policy framework February 5, 2025;
— The Council Transportation Committee (CTC) reviewed the project vision and objectives on January 30, 2024 and TDM Policy framework on March 4, 2025; and
— The City Council held a Study Session on the TDM Policy framework on June 10, 2025.
• Drafting Ordinance language and commencing the TDM cost estimation and implementation planning study.
ANALYSIS
TDM refers to strategies and incentives designed to reduce SOV trips and encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation, such as transit, walking, bicycling, and carpooling. Common 113
Repeal and Reenact Article X (Transportation Demand Management) of Chapter 19 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) of the Mountain View City Code to Establish a Citywide TDM Program
May 12, 2026
TDM measures include transit subsidies, vanpool and carshare services, commuter incentives, bicycle facilities, and flexible work arrangements. Successful implementation of TDM programs can reduce traffic and congestion, mitigate demand for on- site parking , and achieve transportation mode shift to sustainable travel options.
The City’s approach to TDM spans a mix of project size and land use types as shown in Figure 1, where at least 27 entitled development projects in Mountain View have existing TDM requirements as part of their Conditions of Approval. These requirements are supported by broad enabling policies, including the General Plan, Precise Plans, GGRP, and Sustainability Action Plan in addition to state laws and regulations. Within Mountain View, TDM requirements are applied to a wide range of land uses, including office or commercial development (44%), mixed use (19%), Master Plan areas (7%), multi-family residential (19%), hotel (7%), and medical facilities (4%).

Figure 1: Existing Citywide TDM Requirements
To develop a policy framework for a Citywide TDM Ordinance, the project team synthesized information on existing TDM requirements through community and stakeholder outreach conducted from 2023 to 2025. Staff gathered the following feedback to understand the current state of practice of TDM in the City:
• Stakeholders, such as employers, small businesses, and property managers, indicated that they understand the value of TDM measures in providing benefits to employees or residents in terms of safe, sustainable, and equitable mobility options.
115
Repeal and Reenact Article X (Transportation Demand Management) of Chapter 19 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) of the Mountain View City Code to Establish a Citywide TDM Program
May 12, 2026
• Employers noted that the City’s TDM requirements provide the basis to support ongoing investment in their commuter programs.
• Stakeholders expressed support for greater standardization of TDM requirements, including a TDM menu of options from which they can select to shape their TDM Plans and meet their transportation goals.
• Several stakeholders requested greater flexibility to update or adjust their TDM Plan following implementation to respond to evolving travel patterns and availability of mobility options and new technologies.
• Employers and developers noted that the current process for including TDM Conditions of Approval could benefit from increased standardization of TDM requirements to increase predictability during the entitlement process.
As such, the following vision for the project was established to shape the development of the Citywide Ordinance based on Council’s original direction as well as the existing conditions analysis and input from community members, stakeholders, BPAC, EPC, and CTC:
“The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance seeks to reduce single- occupancy vehicle trips for new development and increase use of multi- modal transportation alternatives that are sustainable, equitable, effective, and respond to changing demands.”
Additionally, the Ordinance framework was informed by the four guiding principles of predictability, effectiveness, sustainable mobility, and equity, as shown in Figure 2.

Repeal and Reenact Article X (Transportation Demand Management) of Chapter 19 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) of the Mountain View City Code to Establish a Citywide TDM Program
May 12, 2026
Draft Ordinance Framework
The proposed TDM Ordinance establishes standardized guidelines for a Citywide TDM Program applicable to new development, including modifications, change of use, and expansions of existing sites that exceed defined trip generation thresholds.
Participation in the new TDM Program will be determined by the following components:
• Applicability: All projects generating 200 or more net new Average Daily Trips (ADT), including residential, commercial, and mixed -use developments. The TDM ordinance will apply to projects with anticipated net new ADT that fall into the categories specified in Table 1. The size thresholds align with the City’s existing MTA analysis and VMT policy, which is consistent with SB 743 to reduce transportation impacts related to new development. Projects will be categorized as small, medium, or large based on anticipated daily trip generation.
Table 1: TDM Ordinance Applicability Approximate Thresholds by Project Category
Land Use Type Small Medium Large
200-499 ADT 500-999 ADT 1,000+ ADT
Multi-Family Residential 30 < units < 75 75 < units < 150 > 150 units Single-Family Residential 20 < units < 55 55 < units < 105 > 105 units Retail < 10,000 ksf 10 < ksf < 20 > 20 ksf
General Office 20 < ksf < 45 45 < ksf < 90 > 90 ksf
Research and Development Center 20 < ksf < 45 45 < ksf < 90 > 90 ksf General Industrial 40 < ksf <100 105 < ksf < 205 > 205 ksf Warehousing 115 < ksf < 290 290 < ksf < 585 > 585 ksf
Other Threshold would be based on the most similar land use type and determined in agreement with City staff.
• Performance Metric: ADT will be the primary metric to assess the estimated trip generation rates from development, consistent with the City’s Multi -Modal Transportation Analysis (MTA) Handbook.
• Trip Reduction Targets: The proposed ADT reduction targets (see Table 2, below) are based on the City’s existing Precise Plans targets and benchmarking against comparable TDM programs in peer jurisdictions, including San Francisco, San Mateo County, Redwood City, 117
Repeal and Reenact Article X (Transportation Demand Management) of Chapter 19 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) of the Mountain View City Code to Establish a Citywide TDM Program
May 12, 2026
San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Santa Monica, as well as attainable TDM strategies modeled in the VTA Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) evaluation tool.
To achieve the necessary trip reductions, staff has developed a TDM Toolkit comprised of measures that reflect varying levels of effectiveness for reducing trip generation. The Toolkit (Attachment 3 —Draft TDM Toolkit) offers a menu of strategies that vary in scale and cost, allowing projects to create site-specific TDM Plans tailored to their needs.
The TDM measures are grouped into two categories of Core and Auxiliary Strategies. The applicant is required to select the requisite number of Core Strategies based on project size and estimated ADT generation. To support the implementation of Core Strategies, the project will be required to implement a set number of Auxiliary Strategies in accordance with the project size.
The tiered requirement for Auxiliary Strategies is as follows:
• Small Projects: At least two (2) Auxiliary Strategies. • Medium Projects: At least three (3) Auxiliary Strategies. • Large Projects: At least five (5) Auxiliary Strategies.
As shown in Table 2 below, reduction targets scale with project size with adjusted (lower) targets for residential and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) to reflect their inherently lower baseline trip generation. For the latter, TOD projects are those located in a High- Quality Transit Area, defined as areas where at least fifty percent (50%) of the project area is within one-half (0.5) mile of a high-quality transit corridor or a major transit stop. Such transit facilities may include: (a) an existing rail station or ferry terminal served by bus or rail; (b) a bus stop with peak service frequency of fifteen (15) minutes or less; or (c) a planned rail station or planned ferry terminal served by bus or rail, as defined in California Public Resources Code Section 21155(b).

May 12, 2026
• TDM Plans: Subject projects will submit and adopt a TDM Plan prior to project approval.
The TDM Plan will include selections from a menu of strategies available in the TDM Toolkit (Attachment 3 —TDM Toolkit) that encompass a mix of Core and Auxiliary Strategies.
Projects will be required to adopt the requisite number of Core Strategies consistent with their ADT reduction target. Core Strategies will offer a range of flexible, proven trip - reduction strategies for applicants to select from to develop a TDM Plan. Additionally, “Auxiliary Strategies” are those that may not have significant trip -reduction potential as stand-alone strategies but supplement the implementation of Core Strategies. Finally , a TDM Agreement will be executed by the developer prior to entitlement to formalize the adoption and intent to implement the approved TDM Plan.
• Monitoring and Reporting: To demonstrate compliance and provide data on the effectiveness of TDM efforts, all projects will be required to submit ongoing standardized annual reporting following the first year of post occupancy , consistent with their project size:
— Small Projects (200 to 400 ADT): Annually for three (3) years. — Medium Projects (500 to 999 ADT): Annually for ten (10) years. — Large Projects (1,000+ ADT): Annually for twenty (20) years.
Additionally, for nonresidential projects:
— Annual reporting will include assessment of the project’s performance in achieving its trip cap, supported by commute travel surveys and driveway count data.
• Enforcement: All projects subject to the TDM Ordinance are required to comply with the provisions of the Municipal Code. Noncompliance will be enforced pursuant to Section 1.7 (Article 1, Violations) and Section 1.17 (Article 2, Administrative Penalties) of City’s Code Enforcement regulations.
Examples of violations of the TDM requirements may include, but are not limited to:
— Failure to submit required annual TDM monitoring reports or updates to the TDM Plan.
— Failure to implement or maintain approved TDM measures and strategies.
— Failure of nonresidential projects to achieve the required ADT reduction target or exceeding an established site-specific trip cap.
119
Repeal and Reenact Article X (Transportation Demand Management) of Chapter 19 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) of the Mountain View City Code to Establish a Citywide TDM Program
May 12, 2026
Projects found to be out of compliance may be subject to administrative penalties and other enforcement actions in accordance with the Municipal Code.
TDM Policy Framework
The proposed Ordinance reflects several changes to the TDM Policy framework, which have been incorporated based on feedback from key stakeholders since the Council Study Session on June 10, 2025. To support the successful implementation of the TDM Program, the proposed changes will:
• Implement Program 1.2(c) and Program 1.3(d) of the Sixth Cycle 2023- 2031 Housing Element, which requires the City to adopt a TDM Ordinance, study the cost of TDM requirements on typical residential developments, and allow residential developers to meet TDM goals through lower-cost options. To support this, the proposed Ordinance will allow res idential parking reductions and exemptions from parking requirements for projects proposing to use enhanced features of a TDM Plan, which achieve a higher level of trip reduction than the minimum requirement.
— To satisfy the enhanced TDM criteria for exemption from the minimum parking standard, a residential project must either: (1) exceed its applicable ADT reduction target by at least five percent (5%); or (2) adopt one (1) additional Core Strategy and two (2) additional Auxiliary Strategies over the minimum required number.
— The enhanced TDM criteria are intended to incentivize higher levels of trip reduction and reduced parking demand while increasing mobility options for residential projects, as well as support the City’s broader goals related to expanding affordable housing.
— The TDM toolkit has been updated with additional lower -cost strategies to provide more flexibility for residential projects of all sizes to comply with TDM requirements.
Additionally, the ADT targets for residential developments match those of TOD projects, given their lower baseline trip generation rates and effectiveness to reduce local and regional single-occupancy trips.
— Based on feedback received from EPC on April 15, 2026, the proposed ordinance will be structured to allow both reduced parking and unbundled parking strategies for residential projects to meet the enhanced TDM criteria for parking exemptions and reduced parking minimums.
120
Repeal and Reenact Article X (Transportation Demand Management) of Chapter 19 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic) of the Mountain View City Code to Establish a Citywide TDM Program
May 12, 2026
• Provide specific exemptions for “patron-driven uses” under applicability standards:
— Development consisting of patron-driven uses less than net new 100,000 square feet will be exempted from the TDM Program. Patron- driven uses are defined as nonresidential uses whose trip generation is primarily patrons, rather than employees. Examples include child-care centers, religious institutions, retail (general merchandise, grocery, and similar), restaurants, entertainment, medical, and other personal services. Such uses are local- serving and support economic vitality by attracting and retaining retail and other service-oriented mixed uses.
• Monitoring and reporting provisions for residential and patron-driven uses: All residential and patron-driven uses will be exempted from site -specific trip caps and associated ADT reduction target requirements, including provisions requiring travel surveys and driveway counts. The exemptions reflect existing conditions and local and state regulations that seek to reduce financial costs and administrative burdens associated with delivering more affordable housing and local-serving uses. However, these projects will still be required to adopt and implement a TDM Plan and provide ongoing annual TDM reporting in accordance with project size.
• Required TDM Strategies: Mountain View Transportation Management Association Membership. As a private nonprofit membership organization, the TMA is funded by Mountain View businesses and property owners to address transportation challenges for the benefit of the community. The MVgo shuttle service, which provides fare-free last-mile connections between the Transit Center and main employment hubs, is administered and funded by the TMA’s Board of Directors. While the TMA assesses fees of its members to fund MVgo operations and similar TDM programs, there is risk of potential violation of Proposition 218, which was adopted in 1996 to ensure that all taxes and most charges on property owners are subject to voter approval. As such, establishing a Property -Based Improvement District (PBID) is a remedy to ensure an equitable means of assessing membership fees to fund MVgo and other TMA-provided services in the future.
— The TDM Policy Framework adopted last June included the TMA membership requirement for medium and large nonresidential projects and large residential projects only. Due to the issues noted above, the proposed Ordinance will not require projects of any siz e to join the TMA. Membership in the TMA will be optional and included in the TDM Toolkit, incentivizing new projects to join as a way to satisfy their TDM requirements and trip-reduction goals.
— While TMA membership will not be required, staff with the TMA, will explore the process of establishing a PBID in Mountain View following adoption of the Ordinance. 121

May 12, 2026
Similar to other jurisdictions, such as the City of Emeryville , the goal of establishing the PBID will be to provide a long -term and scalable approach to funding TMA - provided services, including the MVgo shuttle. A PBID in Mountain View would also support growing membership in the TMA by clearly defining the structur e for governance and assessment of member fees.
• Enforcement and Penalties: The proposed Ordinance seeks to align the enforcement provisions under Section 1.7 (Code enforcement —Violations) and Section 1.17 (Administrative penalties) of the Mountain View City Code. This approach is consistent with neighboring jurisdictions that treat violations of TDM noncompliance as municipal code violations, issuing administrative citations. Where the project is not at fault for noncompliance, the assessment of penalty fees may be waived under certain circumstances, such as the unavailability of a TDM service provider, high vacancy rates , or economic hardship. Additionally, the City Code enforcement provisions will consistently apply to all projects subject to the Ordinance rather than specific project Conditions of Approval. Staff will work with existing projects that request to opt into the Citywide TDM Ordinance in order to benefit from this streamlined enforcement approach.
FISCAL IMPACT
To support effective implementation of the TDM Ordinance and ensure long ‑term program sustainability, the City has hired a consultant to support cost estimating and an implementation planning study. This study will evaluate the range of City staff time and administrative resources required to administer the Ordinance, including TDM Plan review during entitlement, ongoing monitoring and reporting, compliance and enforcement activities, program evaluation, and maintenance of any supporting software platforms. The findings will inform consideration of a potential annual TDM fee, intended to recover a portion of the City’s on going costs associated with administering and enfor cing the Ordinance. The study will account for efficiencies gained through standardized reporting, automation, and potential partnerships, with the intent of helping align any future fee with the level of effort required to support participating developments over time. Following completion of this fee study, staff will draft a resolution for the City Council to review and adopt.
As part of developing a TDM Toolkit, staff has identified a range of flexible and affordable options for applicants to choose from based on cost-effectiveness and trip-reduction potential. The TDM Toolkit benchmarks the TDM measures against the expected cost level for implementing a prospective strategy. For example, strategies will range from low ($0 to $5,000), to medium ($5,000 to $50,000), to high ($50,000 and above), or cost -neutral. Actual costs may vary by project based on the scale of proposed measure(s), subsidy, and participant coverage, providing the needed cost elasticity for projects implementing a TDM program. 122

City of Mountain View Memo
From Steer
Date 30 April 2026
Project City of Mountain View TDM Ordinance Project No. 24363902 Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
Program Standards
The City’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program Standards updates the review process for assessing transportation operational effects of a development project or plan, consistent with the City’s Multi-Modal Transportation Analysis (MTA). The level of transportation review required for a development project is tailored to the size, land use and context of the proposed site, and runs concurrent with the Planning Department’s Development Review Process. A Transportation Impact Study (TIS) will be required when a development is anticipated to impact the adjacent roadway network and capacity, where mitigations are necessary to support the mobility and connectivity of the proposed site. The TDM Program Standards expand upon the MTA Handbook’s technical transportation analysis review of projects in Mountain View, consistent with the General Plan and Precise Plan goals and policies intended to:
• To reduce single occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips and increase mode share of walking, biking, carpooling, and transit.
• Streamline and standardize the Transportation Analysis review process for new development.
The MTA Handbook and General Plan jointly identify TDM programs as a cost-effective means to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, address parking demand, provide affordable transportation, improve community health and fitness levels, and promote urban livability while expanding transportation options in all areas of the City.
The update to TDM Program Standards in the MTA Handbook is designed to provide a clear and standardized approach for new development to implement sustainable transportation choices for residents, employees, and visitors. They support the implementation of enhanced TDM criteria, as outlined in Housing Element Action Items 1.2(c) and 1.3(d). Specifically, the Standards define the criteria under which residential projects may qualify for exemptions from parking requirements by proposing TDM plans with enhanced features. The Standards include a menu of TDM strategies that developers can choose from to meet trip reduction goals, offering a range of approaches that vary in scale, implementation, and cost. This framework allows projects to design purpose-built TDM plans suitable for varying contexts while also advancing the City’s broader goals for mobility, sustainability, and increasing housing access.

TDM Program Standards Contents
These TDM Program Standards contains the specific requirements necessary for a new development project to comply with the City of Mountain View’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance. The document is organized as follows:
• Section 1. Applicability: Defines which projects are subject to the TDM Ordinance and outlines exemption criteria.
• Section 2. TDM Program Process: Describes the overall TDM compliance process and clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the developer/applicant, property owner, Transportation Coordinator, and City staff.
Section 3. TDM Plan Process: Describes the process for preparing a TDM Plan, and the City’s review and approval process.
Section 4. TDM Plan Monitoring & Reporting: Explains the two phases of monitoring and reporting processes and the required steps that must be taken to maintain ongoing compliance.
Section 5. Non-Compliance: Describes what actions and inactions constitute non-compliance, the grace period provided to projects to resolve non-compliance issues, and potential penalties and enforcement actions the City may take to remedy non-compliance. • Section 6. Glossary of Terms: Provides definitions for key terms used throughout this document. • Appendices: Provides templates, resources, and detailed descriptions of TDM strategies (i.e., the TDM Toolkit)
Section 1. Applicability
The City of Mountain View’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance (Chapter 19, Article X) applies to new development projects, major renovations, and changes in use that generate significant net new vehicle trips. Specifically, projects must comply with the TDM Ordinance and these Standards if the project:
• Seeks discretionary approval of a Planning Permit, ministerial approval, change of use, or renovation; and
• Will generate 200 or more net new Average Daily vehicle Trips (ADT).
The following types of projects are exempt from TDM requirements:
• Projects for which an application has been deemed complete by the City on or before the effective date of this Ordinance.
• Projects that provide 100% restricted affordable units (excluding unrestricted manager units) that are:
– Deed restricted by a public entity for at least 55 years (rental) or 45 years (for-sale) to low- income residents (≤80% Area Median Income).
– Developed at a minimum density of 35 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC). – Located in a High-Quality Transit Area (HQTA), defined as areas within one-half (0.5) mile of a high-quality transit corridor or major transit stop. A high-quality transit corridor is defined in the California Public Resources Code, Section 2115(b) as may be amended. A major transit stop is defined in the California Public Resources Code, Section 21064.3, as may be amended. • Very Small Projects, defined as any single-family residential development of 12 units or fewer, any multi-family residential development of 20 units or fewer, or any office development that is 10,000 square feet or less.
143
3 of 15
www.steergroup.com
• Patron-driven Uses less than 100,000 square feet. Patron-drive Uses are non-residential uses whose trip generation is primarily patrons, rather than employees, including child care, religious institutions, community centers, indoor recreation and fitness centers, schools, studios, retail (general merchandise, grocery, and similar), restaurants, personal services, entertainment, medical services, banks and financial services, hotels and motels, service stations, repair and maintenance of vehicles and consumer products, and similar uses. The Public Works Department may use any available data to determine if more than 50% of a use’s trip generation are typically patrons.
The Program Standards advance a streamlined approach of applying TDM requirements citywide to ensure new development can more effectively navigate the entitlement process and maintain ongoing compliance with required trip reduction strategies. This program builds on past experience and brings consistency and clarity to TDM requirements that make it easier for residents, tenants, employees, and visitors to access sustainable travel modes such as transit, carpooling/vanpooling, walking, rolling, biking, and scooting.
Previously entitled and built projects may opt into the current TDM Program in place of their existing TDM Plan requirements, subject to City staff review and approval. Benefits of opting into the program include a streamlined pathway for updating TDM Plans, as well as simplified monitoring and reporting requirements.
Section 2. TDM Program Process

Section 3. TDM Plan Process
3.1 Entitlement Process Requirements
3.1.1. Determine Project Applicability
Any project that meets the applicability criteria of Mountain View Municipal Code Chapter 19, Article X, Sec. 122, as outlined in Section 1 Applicability of these Standards will be subject to the TDM Program requirements. Subject projects must submit a TDM Plan form and administrative fee along with the development application.
3.1.2. TDM Performance Targets (ADT Reduction Targets)
Each project subject to the TDM Program must meet a specified Average Daily Trip (ADT) reduction target. Average daily trips is a standard metric used in transportation planning to estimate the total number of vehicle trips entering and exiting a site over the course of a typical day, consistent with the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. ADT is calculated as follows:
ADT = Total vehicle trips (inbound & outbound) over count period Number of days counted
The ADT reduction targets are tiered based on project size and land use (see Table 1). 145
5 of 15
www.steergroup.com
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) projects are those located in a High-Quality Transit Area (HQTA), defined as areas where at least fifty percent (50%) of the project area is within one-half (0.5) mile of a high-quality transit corridor or a major transit stop. A high-quality transit corridor is defined in California Public Resources Code Section 21155(b), as may be amended, and a major transit stop is defined in California Public Resources Code Section 21064.3, as may be amended. Such transit facilities may include: (a) an existing rail station or ferry terminal served by bus or rail; (b) a bus stop with peak service frequency of fifteen (15) minutes or less; or (c) a planned rail station or planned ferry terminal served by bus or rail.
Table 1. ADT Reduction Targets by Project Size
Project Size Residential & Transit-Oriented
Development
(TOD)
Non-Residential & Non-Transit-Oriented
Development (Non-TOD)
Small (200–499
ADT)
20% 30%
Medium (500–999
ADT)
30% 40%
Large (1,000+
ADT)
40% 50%
The ADT reduction target is calculated from the project’s estimated trip generation. Please see Chapter 4 of the City of Mountain View Multi-Modal Transportation Analysis (MTA) Handbook for undertaking trip generation analyses.
ADT for Mixed-use projects:
• Mixed-use projects that have a non-residential component under 50,000 square feet (presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT per the City of Mountain View Multi-Modal Transportation Analysis Handbook) must calculate net new ADT using only the residential portion; • Mixed-use projects with a non-residential component of 50,000 square feet or more must calculate net new ADT for each land use type discretely and then sum for the total project trip generation.
3.1.3. Enhanced TDM Criteria for Residential Projects
The TDM Program Standards include provisions to support implementation of the City’s adopted Housing Element:
Action Item 1.3(d): adopt a TDM Ordinance that provides clear requirements for residential trip reduction across the city, while also allowing developers to meet TDM goals through a range of strategies, including lower-cost options.
Residential projects that seek exemptions from the City’s minimum parking requirements or other development standards must meet certain criteria that exceed minimum TDM requirements. These 146
6 of 15
www.steergroup.com
criteria serve to enhance a project’s TDM Plan by exceeding base requirements to reduce vehicle trips and support uptake of alternative transportation choices.
To satisfy the enhanced TDM criteria, a residential project must either:
1) exceed its applicable ADT reduction target by at least five percent (5%); or 2) adopt one (1) additional Core Strategy and two (2) additional Auxiliary Strategies over the minimum required number.
For example, a residential project with a required ADT reduction target of 30% would need to achieve a 35% reduction to be considered as meeting the enhanced criteria. Alternatively, the applicant may select one additional complementary Core Strategy and two Auxiliary Strategies from the TDM Toolkit or propose an unlisted measure with approval from City staff.
Residential projects that meet enhanced TDM criteria may be eligible for exemptions from minimum parking requirements, consistent with Housing Element Action Item 1.2(c) and 1.3(d), which identifies “residential parking reductions for projects that implement TDM and exempt parking requirements from projects meeting enhanced TDM criteria.”
The enhanced criteria are intended to incentivize higher levels of trip reduction for residential projects and support the City’s broader goals related to expanding affordable housing and access to multimodal transportation options. The City may periodically review and update the enhanced TDM criteria to reflect evolving best practices, local conditions, and policy objectives.
3.1.4. Prepare a TDM Plan
To achieve the necessary vehicle trip reductions, the developer or applicant can select a range of TDM strategies from the TDM Toolkit best suited to support future building occupants in selecting alternative transportation options (see Appendix A). The TDM Toolkit contains a list of measures that reflect varying levels of effectiveness for reducing trip generation. The TDM strategies are grouped into two categories of Core and Auxiliary strategies.
The applicant should select the requisite number of Core Strategies to achieve the required ADT reduction. The Toolkit is designed to offer a menu of TDM strategies that vary in scale and cost, allowing projects to design site-specific TDM Plans fit for purpose.
TDM In Practice
• Applicant proposes a 75,000 sq ft development for future office/commercial use, which has an estimated trip generation of 520 ADT
• It is located 0.4 miles from the Mountain View station and therefore qualifies as a Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
• The estimated 520 ADT places the project in the medium-sized TOD category, requiring a 30% ADT reduction.
• The applicant would select from the requisite number of strategies from the TDM Toolkit to achieve at least a 30% ADT reduction in aggregate.
• Post-occupancy, this translates into a trip cap of 364 ADT (520 ADT × 0.7 = 364 ADT) • To successfully meet compliance, the site must not exceed 364 average daily vehicle trips, measured as the total number of vehicle trips entering and existing the site over a 24-hour period, averaged over the representative days for which monitoring occurred. 147
7 of 15
www.steergroup.com
To support implementation of Core Strategies, the project will be required to adopt a set number of Auxiliary Strategies in accordance with project size. The tiered requirement for Auxiliary Strategies is as follows:
• Small Projects: At least 2 Auxiliary Strategies
• Medium Projects: At least 3 Auxiliary Strategies
• Large Projects: At least 5 Auxiliary Strategies
The applicant will document the selected Core and Auxiliary strategies by submitting a TDM Plan Form (see Appendix B) as part of the initial application for a Planning Permit, Ministerial Approval, or Building Permit.
Failure to submit a complete and approved TDM Plan Form may delay project review and approval. City staff are available to provide detailed guidance on completing the form. Please contact the Public Works Department at [email protected] for support.
3.1.5. TDM Plan Review Process
City staff will review each TDM Plan Form to ensure it is complete and meets the Program Standards.
Once submitted, Staff will review the selection of Core and Auxiliary strategies to determine the ability of the project to reduce single occupancy vehicles and incentivize multimodal transportation options. If applicable, City staff will also assess the TDM Plan’s level of effectiveness for achieving the required ADT reduction target and meeting the site-specific trip cap, once the building is occupied. Given the range of available TDM strategies, City staff will provide support to ensure the selected measures are appropriate given the project’s land use type, size, and location. Revisions may be requested if deemed necessary by Staff.
Once approved by the City, the TDM Plan Form and ADT reduction target will be included as Conditions of Approval for the project. The property owner is ultimately responsible for ensuring that all required TDM strategies are incorporated into project design and planning documents as applicable.
Section 4. TDM Plan Monitoring and Reporting
The TDM Program includes two phases of monitoring and reporting processes. The first process occurs at the time of formal application for a Planning Permit, Ministerial Approval, or Building Permit, and the second process occurs following issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy by the City. Further information on these processes is detailed in the following sections.
Section 4.1 Pre-Occupancy Requirements
The following requirements must be met to demonstrate compliance with the City’s TDM Ordinance at the pre-occupancy stage:
4.1.1. Execution of TDM Agreement
Prior to building permit issuance, the property owner must execute a TDM Agreement that outlines the TDM requirements contained within the project’s Conditions of Approval (COAs). The Agreement is executed between the City and the property owner, and is binding on current and future property owners.
4.1.2. Designation of a Transportation Coordinator
148
8 of 15
www.steergroup.com
A Transportation Coordinator (TC) must be designated for the site prior to occupancy. The TC serves as the primary contact for site-level TDM program implementation, including fulfilling the monitoring and reporting requirements. Contact information for the TC is initially provided in the TDM Plan form and must be kept up to date. Should the TC contact information change, the project will be required to submit an updated TDM Plan form.
4.1.3. TDM Strategies Implementation
The property owner and TC are responsible for ensuring that all strategies in the approved TDM Plan are implemented prior to occupancy. This includes confirming that all required amenities and services, such as physical infrastructure (e.g., showers, secure bike storage, etc.), programmatic measures (e.g., unbundled parking), and outreach materials, are in place and ready for use when tenants and/or employees occupy the project.
By establishing these strategies from day one, the property maximizes the likelihood that TDM strategies will be well-utilized and effective, supporting successful outcomes for both site operations and compliance. Acceptable documentation may include, but are not limited to:
• signed contracts or invoices for third-party service providers, • photographs of on-site facilities,
• receipts or purchase orders (e.g., transit passes, signage, etc.) • copies of communication materials distributed to tenants or employees (e.g., welcome packets, onboarding materials, flyers, emails, newsletters, website screenshots) • program schedules or service timetables (e.g., shuttle schedules) The TC may submit supplemental information in the event that certain strategies will not be fully online prior to occupancy. City staff may accept the following as proof of intent to implement the project’s TDM Plan:
• documentation of internal policies or procedures (e.g., lease addenda, property management protocol) that outline commitment to implementing the adopted strategies. • evidence of budget allocation (e.g., funds set aside for transit subsidies, incentives, or marketing).
For questions about whether other forms of documentation not listed above are acceptable, please contact the Public Works Department at [email protected].
City staff may conduct a site inspection prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy to verify that physical improvements and programmatic measures are in place as specified in the approved TDM Plan form and project Conditions of Approval (COAs).
Section 4.2 Post-Occupancy Requirements
After occupancy, the property owner and Transportation Coordinator will assume responsibility of the operational requirements to implement the TDM Plan. The Transportation Coordinator will be tasked with ongoing communication with tenants and/or employees to ensure building occupants are aware of the multi-modal transportation options available to them. As part of the monitoring requirements for applicable projects, the Transportation Coordinator will lead efforts to promote participation in travel surveys for assessing performance of TDM strategies, as well as facilitate traffic counts at applicable sites to determine compliance with ADT reduction targets (if applicable). Further information regarding the ongoing requirements is provided in the following sections.
4.2.1. Annual Monitoring and Reporting
149
9 of 15
www.steergroup.com
The property owner or Transportation Coordinator shall be responsible for the following:
• Annual TDM Report: Projects required to submit a TDM Plan shall submit an annual TDM Report one year following issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy and on January 31 thereafter. The Report will attest to the on-site implementation of the TDM strategies consistent with the project’s Conditions of Approval (COAs).
Non-residential projects (excluding Patron-driven Uses):
• Travel survey: Administer a building-wide travel survey to tenants, employees, or residents to collect information about their daily travel patterns, modes of transportation, and commute choices. The property owner and Transportation Coordinator must ensure a 70% response rate to accurately reflect typical onsite travel behavior. The City shall provide sites with a travel survey template to assist with survey administration.
• Traffic counts: Conduct onsite traffic counts to measure the number of inbound and outbound vehicle trips generated by the site over a 24-hour period, typically conducted using manual or automated counting methods. Counts must be performed on representative days (e.g., typical weekday conditions during non-holiday weeks, excluding special events, extreme weather, or atypical site operations), and the results are used to verify compliance with the site’s ADT Reduction Target and trip cap. Traffic count location(s) must be confirmed by the City prior to conducting the counts and collected by a third-party.
Reporting requirements are tiered based on project size, as shown in Table 2.
Table 2. TDM Reporting Requirements
Reporting Element Small (200–499 ADT) Medium (500–999 ADT) Large (1,000+ ADT) TDM Report
Annually, for 3 years Annually, for 10 years Annually, for 20 years Travel Survey

Annually for 3 years Annually, for 10 years Annually, for 20 years An annual TDM Report must be submitted to the City one year following issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy and on January 31 thereafter. The Report will document TDM strategies in place, as well as travel survey results and traffic count data, if applicable. The annual TDM Report will also provide a TDM Plan overview including any updates or changes to the program. Adjustments to the TDM Plan may be necessary in response to tenant or employee turnover or changes in site operations. See Section 4.3 (Updating a TDM Plan) on the process for updating an existing TDM Plan.
150
10 of 15
www.steergroup.com
Section 4.3 Updating a TDM Plan
The property owner or Transportation Coordinator may request modifications to the site’s approved TDM Plan if site conditions or operations change. An updated TDM Plan form must be submitted to the City for review and approval. Public Works staff are available to provide guidance on which strategies might be most effective in supporting current site needs and opportunities.
Upon approval of an updated TDM Plan, the project’s TDM Agreement must also be modified and accepted by all parties to reflect the revised commitments and responsibilities.
Section 4.4 Property Transfer, Ownership Change, or Change of Use When a property subject to the City’s TDM Ordinance is sold or transferred, the following process must be completed to ensure ongoing monitoring and reporting compliance:
• The current property owner must submit a Property Transfer Form or Change of Use Form to the Public Works Department within thirty (30) calendar days of any change in property ownership or use.
• The Property Transfer Form serves as official notification of the transfer and facilitates the acceptance of all applicable TDM obligations by the new property owner. The Property Transfer Form will include the updated contact information of the re-assigned Transportation Coordinator. • Following the City’s acceptance of the Property Transfer Form, the new property owner and/or management will execute an amendment to the original TDM Agreement with all parties prior to receiving the Certificate of Occupancy (if applicable). The amended TDM Agreement will complete the transfer of TDM obligations between parties and ensure ongoing compliance with monitoring and reporting activities.
Failure to complete the Property Transfer Form or Change of Use Form with the required information may result in enforcement actions or penalties.
Section 5. Non-Compliance
Projects subject to the City’s TDM Ordinance must maintain ongoing compliance with all TDM Program requirements. Non-compliance may include, but is not limited to:
• Failure to submit a TDM Plan Form
• Failure to implement the selected TDM strategies
• Failure to submit a Property Transfer Form or Change of Use Form within thirty (30) calendar days of a change in property ownership/ management or use
• Failure to maintain current Transportation Coordinator information with the City • Failure to submit annual TDM Reports by the required deadline • Except residential and Patron-driven Uses, failure to achieve the ADT reduction target/ exceeding the site’s trip cap after two annual reporting periods.
Section 5.1 Non-compliance and Adjustments
5.1.1. Annual Reporting & ADT Reduction Target/ Trip Cap Failure to Provide Annual Reporting
151
11 of 15
www.steergroup.com
Projects required to submit a TDM Plan shall submit an annual TDM Report one-year following issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy and on January 31 thereafter, which attests to the on-site implementation of the TDM measures and strategies consistent with the project’s Conditions of Approval (COAs).
Failure to Meet ADT Reduction Target/ Exceedance of Trip Cap (except residential and Patron- driven Uses)
If the site does not meet the required ADT reduction target (i.e., exceeds its trip cap) within the first year of occupancy, corrective actions shall be identified, such as implementing additional TDM strategies, to achieve the project’s ADT target and trip cap compliance. Section 4.3 (Updating a TDM Plan) outlines the steps for modifying a TDM Plan.
If the ADT reduction target is not met after two consecutive annual reporting periods, further modifications shall be considered to the project’s TDM Plan as needed. For example, initial programmatic measure(s) may be replaced with alternative strategies to determine an optimal solution for achieving compliance.
Penalties and enforcement measures may be assessed by the City if the project is still unable to meet compliance by the end of the grace period, which will not exceed six (6) months from the date when the non-compliance status was initially determined (see Section 5.1.2. Penalties and Enforcement). The City will review annual TDM Reports and may request additional information to support monitoring activities and TDM Plan modifications as needed.
5.1.1. Notification and Correction Process
The City will issue a written notice of non-compliance to the property owner or Transportation Coordinator. The project will have thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of the notice to propose corrective strategies to return the site to compliance. Consistent with the enforcement provisions of the TDM Ordinance, if the project continues to be out of compliance sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of the initial written notice, it may be subject to penalties and enforcement actions. At the City’s discretion, projects demonstrating good faith efforts toward compliance may be provided a grace period of up to six (6) months to re-submit its annual TDM Report demonstrating compliance with the required TDM monitoring provisions and/or ADT Trip Reduction Target. If compliance is not achieved by the end of the grace period, the project may be subject to penalties and enforcement.
5.1.2. Penalties and Enforcement
Penalties for non-compliance may include monetary fines, administrative citations, and/or withholding of permits or Certificates of Occupancy. The amounts of fines are established by Council resolution and adjusted annually according to the Consumer Price Index-All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Metropolitan Statistical Area or Combined Statistical Area inclusive of Mountain View, or any successor index that the City Council may designate by resolution.
Penalty revenues are allocated to a dedicated City fund for TDM Program administration, monitoring, enforcement, and may also support citywide or area-wide TDM strategies and multimodal transportation improvements.
Costs incurred by a Property Owner to implement TDM strategies for the purpose of returning a project to compliance may be credited toward any applicable penalty fees. The assessment of such fees may be waived, in whole or in part, where noncompliance occurs through no fault of the project, including but not limited to circumstances where:
152

• required TDM strategies are determined to be infeasible due to the unavailability of a service provider;
• payment of Ordinance-related fees would result in economic hardship, such as the loss of all viable value or use of the property;
• TDM strategy implementation cannot be reasonably maintained due to insufficient occupancy, defined as less than 50 percent of total floor area;
• at least 25 percent of the building is converted to an exempt or patron-based use or is occupied by a nonprofit organization, provided that the project remains responsible for meeting all trip reduction standards applicable to the remaining uses of the project; or • updates to the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual or other relevant data sources warrant reconsideration of the assumptions or methodologies supporting previously established trip generation rates.
The City may require the submittal of supplemental documentation to substantiate eligibility for any such waiver.

Introduction
The City of Mountain View Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Toolkit is a menu of transportation strategies that may be selected to prepare a project‑specific TDM Plan in compliance with the City’s TDM Ordinance. The Toolkit is intended to support developers, applicants, property owners, property managers, and employers in identifying practical, effective measures that reduce drive‑alone travel and incentivize use of sustainable transportation modes.
The range of TDM strategies presented offer flexible choices to build a TDM Plan fit for purpose. The Toolkit spans programmatic, operational, and infrastructure‑based options that can be combined to meet TDM requirements while responding to the location, land use, and transportation context of each project. Of note, this Toolkit may be updated periodically to reflect evolving transportation tools, strategies and opportunities, in order to ensure project applicants can produce effective TDM programs over time.
How to Use this Toolkit
Applicants subject to the TDM Ordinance are required to prepare a TDM Plan that reflects a mix of strategies from the Toolkit, which is organized into Core and Auxiliary strategies. Core strategies represent higher-impact measures that form the foundation of a project’s TDM approach, while Auxiliary strategies support, enhance, or reinforce the effectiveness of Core strategies.
When preparing a TDM Plan, applicants should:
• Review the full list of Core and Auxiliary strategies included in the Toolkit. • Select strategies that are appropriate for the project’s land use, size, level of transit access, and operational characteristics. The cumulative effectiveness of the strategies should equal the required ADT reduction target.
• Residential projects seeking exemptions from the City’s minimum parking requirements or other development standards must meet one of the following criteria that exceed minimum TDM requirements. The two TDM criteria options below would require:
1) exceeding the applicable ADT reduction target by at least five percent (5%); or 2) adopting one (1) additional Core Strategy and two (2) additional Auxiliary Strategies over the minimum requirements.
• Ensure that selected strategies are implemented for the required duration and are consistent with any applicable mutual exclusivity notes. • Provide the required documentation described in the “Proof of Implementation” section for each selected strategy.
Each project will be assigned an Average Daily Trips (ADT) reduction target and a minimum number of Auxiliary strategies that must be implemented, as described in the TDM Program Standards. The strategies in this Toolkit are intended to be used collectively to help projects meet those requirements and demonstrate compliance with the Ordinance. 158
2 of 32
Applicants are encouraged to consider how strategies work together as a package.
Combining pricing, incentives, information, and access improvements is often more effective than implementing a single measure in isolation. As part of ongoing compliance, applicants will be required annually to report on the strategies implemented and their continued operation, consistent with the reporting requirements outlined in Section 4 of the TDM Program Standards.
How to Read a Strategy Table
Each strategy in this Toolkit is presented in a standardized table format. The table provides concise, implementation-focused information to help applicants understand the intent of the strategy, its applicability, and documentation requirements.
Each strategy table includes the following rows:
• Description: A plain-language summary of the strategy and how it supports reduced drive-alone travel or access to alternative transportation options. • Estimated ADT Reduction (if applicable): An approximate estimate of the potential average daily trip (ADT) reduction associated with the strategy, provided for informational and planning purposes.
• Relative Cost: A general characterization of the expected cost level for implementing the strategy, such as low ($0-$5,000), medium ($5,000-$50,000), high ($50,000+), or cost-neutral. Actual costs may vary by project.
• Relevant Development Types: Identification of the land use types for which the strategy is applicable, including residential, non-residential, and mixed-use development. • Implementation Guidance: Specific considerations, best practices, and conditions to guide effective implementation of the strategy. This section explains how the strategy should be applied to achieve its intended outcome and, where applicable, how it should be coordinated with other strategies or programs.
• Proof of Implementation: The documentation required to demonstrate that the strategy has been implemented and is operational. This information is used by City staff to confirm compliance through the TDM Plan review, pre-occupancy, and ongoing reporting processes.

Limit Parking Supply
Provide parking supply at rates lower than the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation Manual or lower than those documented in the Mountain View City Code. Decreasing parking supply encourages building occupants to choose alternative transportation modes and, for residential uses, can reduce long-term vehicle ownership. This measure is more effective if surrounding street parking is not free or unrestricted. Examples of increasing the effectiveness of this strategy include adjacent metered street parking, time limits during typical working hours, and/or making street parking available to residential parking permit (RPP) holders only.
Estimated ADT Reduction 10%
Relative Cost Cost-neutral or savings
Relevant Development Types Residential Non-residential Mixed-Use Implementation Guidance • Right -size supply. Provide on-site parking below ITE or local norms where allowed. Pair with on-street controls such as meters, time limits, and residential parking permit (RPP) protection in surrounding areas to avoid spillover.
• Manage access. Prioritize carpools and vanpools. Consider daily or hourly pricing if a supply reduction alone does not change behavior.
•
Proof of Implementation • Approved site plan or parking study demonstrating parking supply below ITE rates or City Code standards.
• Permit or entitlement documents confirming reduced
parking approval.
• If applicable, documentation describing on-street parking controls in the surrounding area.

T
he City has long focused on how to reduce single -occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips on its roadways and provide incentives and opportunities for travelers to utilize alternative transportation methods. Transportation accounts for more than 60% of carbon emissions in Mountain View with drive-alone trips representing the biggest contributor to emissions and pollution.
I
n 1994, the City adopted a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance (Article X) of Chapter 16 (Section 19.120) to comply with Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) Congestion Management Program (CMP) in accordance with California Statute, Government Code 65088 . The CMP’s goal is to develop a transportation improvement program to improve multi- modal transportation system performance, land use decision - making, and air quality among local jurisdictions. The City is required to certify annually to the Congestion Management Agency its compliance with CMP legislation. As adopted, the TDM Ordinance provisions set out for requiring TDM programs of larger employers to achieve reductions in traffic and congestion within the City and the region. This Ordinance is still currently in effect.
On
July 10, 2012, the City Council adopted the 2030 General Plan identifying key mobility goals to promote effective TDM programs for existing and new development. TDM strategies were deemed necessary to advance the City’s goals of managing roadway demand and enhancing mobility by incentivizing alternative transportation options, such as transit, walking, bicycling, and carpooling.
