TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 3 Executive
Summary
Dear Residents of the City of Pomona,
The need for quality, affordable housing across all income levels is great. Yet, constraints such as land availability, land acquisition costs, and construction costs, among many others, can limit the swift production of housing that is so critically needed. Pomona is committed to supporting the production of quality, affordable housing across all economic strata, as evidenced by recent policies, streamlining efforts, and pursuit of the State’s Pro Housing designation. Pomona’s focus over the next eight years is to provide both the policy framework and regulatory mechanisms to encourage a range of quality, affordable housing options to meet our State-mandated goals, support our existing residents in their housing needs, and accommodate future population growth.
The TCC Pomona Housing Study and Parking Analysis is a timely, robust analysis of the city’s Downtown core, providing development strategies to move the city closer to achieving its housing goals. This Project was made possible due to funding by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) through the State’s Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) Grant Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) grant program.
The Project consisted of a parking, mobility and open space infrastructure and housing feasibility analysis for Pomona’s City-owned parking lots within its Downtown area to potentially support housing development and leverage the City’s TCC project outcomes. The document provides three development approaches for the city to consider when planning for future economic growth and development opportunities. These development approaches will serve as a guide as the city considers future development opportunities to catalyze downtown growth.
Sincerely,
Anita D. Guitierrez

TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 7 Introduction
This plan brings multiple efforts together and
is a strategic opportunity to refocus policies,
goals, and actions to respond to present
pressures and prepare for the future. The
population of the overall City of Pomona is
expected to grow by nearly 30,000 residents
by 2028. The most recent Regional Housing
Needs Assessment has identified a need
for 10,558 new housing units within the City
of Pomona, more than a quarter of which
should be targeted to those with very low
income. With housing costs accounting
for 39.4% of total household income for
renters in the City of Pomona, and 87.8%
of residents commuting to other transit-rich
cities in Southern California, the benefits of
encouraging high quality housing within the
Downtown Pomona Specific Plan (DPSP)
area are clear. The City of Pomona is also
going through a Complete Streets and
Zoning overhaul that is concurrent to this
process. That information will be added as it
becomes available.
Comprehensive Analysis of Parking within
DPSP will identify which City-Owned surface
parking lots are currently underutilized
and could be repurposed for affordable
housing development, mobility and open
space amenities for current and future
residents, and enhanced parking for a vibrant
downtown. By rebalancing the parking
supply the city's can maintain its' ultimate
goal and legacy of providing sufficient
parking downtown while also maximizing
the areas that are underutilized. The
Comprehensive Mobility and Open Space
Analysis will identify existing open space and
mobility amenities, as well as highlighting
potential areas of opportunity. The
Comprehensive Market Feasibility Report for
Housing will highlight financial, regulatory,
and policy framework as well as local real
estate market conditions that affect the
suitability of these sites for redevelopment.
This report will provide a solid foundation for
robust engagement with Pomona residents,
the Vehicle Parking District Commission and
City Council, as well as critical stakeholders
such as the Downtown Pomona Owner’s
Association and Western University.
The project team will synthesize the
reports and stakeholder input to draft
recommendations that will outline the
following:
• An implementation plan for the future
issuance of RFPs for three or more sites
identified as most suitable for housing
development(s)
• Parking management and allocation
within the Downtown Specific Plan area
• Multi-modal and open space amenities
for future residents
• How these enhancements will assist
in meeting the City of Pomona’s
sustainability goals- including energy and
water efficiency
Project Objectives:
Objective #1: Comprehensive Analysis of
Parking in the Downtown Pomona Specific
Plan
Objective #2: Comprehensive Analysis of
Mobility and Open Space Infrastructure.
Objective #3: Comprehensive Market
Feasibility Analysis for Housing
Objective #4: Recommendations to the City for
Redevelopment of City-Owned Parking Lots

Surplus Land Act
Since the parcels involved in this study are all
public, they are subject to the SLA. Understanding
the SLA and properly navigating these
requirements are an important component to the
future success of these developments.
“The California Surplus Land Act (Government
Code sections 54220-54234) requires local
agencies disposing of their surplus land to
prioritize affordable housing development.
The Act defines “surplus land” as land owned
“by any local agency for which the local agency’s
governing body takes formal action declaring that
the land is surplus and is not necessary for the
agency’s use.”
An agency may not take any action to dispose
of land, including entering into negotiations to
dispose of land, until it complies with the SLA
procedures. And the first step the the SLA requires
is that the agency make a finding that the land is
either “surplus” or “exempt surplus.” § 54221(b).
No agency may dispose of a parcel until it makes
on of those findings. A local agency is permitted to
declare multiple parcels surplus or exempt surplus
in a single action on an annual basis.
By December 31 of each year each city and
county must make a central inventory of all
exempt or non-exempt surplus land. § 54230.
They must also identify any public land identified
as in excess of their foreseeable needs pursuant
to Government Code § 50569. As of April 1,
2021 they must annually make a description of
each of these parcels and report the information
to the Department of Housing and Community
Development as part of the Annual Progress
Report they submit to HCD every year pursuant to
Government Code § 65400. This information must
be provided to an individual or housing developer
on request without charge.”

Assembly Bill 2097
AB 2097 was approved in September of
2022. The new parking requirements will have
a profound effect on development within
downtowns and transit oriented developments
like Pomona.
“AB 2097 will reduce the cost of housing while
slashing the pollution that causes climate
change by eliminating expensive parking
mandates for homes and commercial buildings
near transit, or in neighborhoods with low rates
of car use.
Parking mandates, which require parking for cars
to be included in new housing, are common in
cities throughout California and can add $40,000
or more to the cost of construction per parking
spot, while also increasing climate pollution.
Eliminating these costly parking mandates will
give Californians more choices about whether
they want to pay for parking, or have lowercost housing in walkable, transit-accessible neighborhoods.
California cities are currently over-producing
parking — Los Angeles alone has 200 square
miles of parking — largely because of rules that
require the construction of parking with each
new home or business, even when there is no
need for additional parking. AB 2097 increases
housing choice and will make it easier to provide
lower-cost, walkable- and transit-accessible
housing across the state.”

legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2097, Friedman. Residential, commercial, or other development types:
parking requirements.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a land use element, and a conservation element.
Existing law also authorizes the legislative body of a city or a county to adopt ordinances establishing requirements for parking, and permits variances to be granted from the parking requirements of a zoning ordinance for nonresidential development if the variance will be an incentive to the development and the variance will facilitate access to the development by patrons of public transit facilities.
This bill would prohibit a public agency from imposing any minimum automobile parking requirement on any residential, commercial, or other development project, as defined, that is located within 1 ⁄2 mile of public
transit, as defined. The bill, notwithstanding the above-described prohibition, would authorize a city, county, or city and county to impose or enforce minimum automobile parking requirements on a housing development project if the public agency makes written findings, within 30 days of the receipt of a completed application, that not imposing or enforcing minimum automobile parking requirements on the development would have a substantially negative impact, supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record, on the public agency’s ability to meet its share of specified housing needs or existing residential or commercial parking within 1 ⁄2 mile
of the housing development. The bill would create an exception from the above-described provision if the housing development project (1) dedicates a minimum of 20% of the total number of housing units to very low, low-, or moderate-income households, students, the elderly, or persons with disabilities, (2) contains fewer than 20 housing units, or (3) is subject to parking reductions based on any other applicable law. The bill would prohibit these provisions from reducing, eliminating, or precluding the enforcement of any requirement imposed on a housing development project that is located within 1
⁄2 mile of public transit to provide electric vehicle supply equipment installed parking spaces or parking spaces that are accessible to persons 92 STATE OF CALIFORNIA

1.4 tHe envIsIoneD future CorrIDors
The corridors are composed of a significant number of individual, privately held properties under varying ownership and approximately 13 miles of public rights-of-way owned and controlled by the City of Pomona and, in the case of Foothill Boulevard (SR-66), controlled by the State of California (Caltrans). The overarching purpose of the Specific Plan is to orchestrate individual public and private investments to produce greater value than any separate project could practically achieve by providing a common purpose that all investors can rely upon, contribute to, and derive value from. This section describes the common purpose to which all investments shall be directed: the realization of a vision for the future that is sufficiently specific to provide a common purpose, yet flexible enough to respond to opportunities and changes in the marketplace that will inevitably arise.
a. urban Design framework
1. the evolution of Downtown / transit-oriented Districts Regulations contained in this Specific Plan will apply solely to properties located in the Specific Plan Area. The location of the Specific Plan Area is illustrated in Figure 0.1. – Specific Plan Area Map.
Notwithstanding these formal policy-area boundaries, some of the primary developments influencing the optimum potential future of the corridors include the PVHMC and the properties in and around downtown. The North and Downtown Metrolink Station sites will also play an increasingly influential role in the future of Pomona. Although these developments are outside of the formal Pomona Corridors Specific Plan Area for regulatory purposes, this section describes the optimum future for these entire cohesive portions of the City.
Therefore, land use and development policies implementing the community’s intent for the corridors will be contained in the combination of the policies in the Pomona Corridors Specific Plan, The Downtown Pomona Specific Plan, the PVHMC Specific Plan, the Mission 71 Business Park Specific Plan, and, for properties in the Downtown environs not falling under the regulatory purview of one of these Specific Plans, the Pomona Zoning & Subdivision Ordinances. a. The Growing Downtown District
Over time, the evolving Downtown Core, supported by the growing WUHS, the restored Fox Theater and other entertainment venues, the Arts Colony and Antique Row, Civic Center, Downtown Amtrak/Metrolink Station and Transit Center, and emerging Downtown Neighborhoods, will collectively form an increasingly identifiable Downtown District (see Figure 1.3 and 1.4) that is distinguished by its vitality, synergy, and mix of uses and activities. This special city district will be the antithesis of the linear strip: its development will not sprawl outward, low to the ground. It will instead be compact and clustered; it will not be made up of only one type of land use, but will include instead a mixture of uses and destinations. Retail, entertainment, civic, and residential uses, and ultimately places of work and lodging as well will be found there. The shopping core will continue to be served by curbside parking and slow moving traffic.

b. Emerging Transit-Oriented Districts
Many people living in, working in, or visiting Downtown and other TransitOriented Districts (TODs) will be those who value convenience and enjoy being “where the action is.” They may prefer to park once and then walk, or leave the car at home and experience the district on foot, on a bicycle, or on transit. This experience will be made easy by the districts’ mixture of uses, concentrated development pattern, and fine-grained network of streets shared by vehicles and pedestrians alike. Along these streets, offices, housing, and lodging will easily and compatibly mix in attractive buildings. They will be built close to the sidewalk, activating the pedestrian realm and forming a consistent “street wall” that creates the feeling of an outdoor living room. The mix of land uses, variety of activities, supportive streetscapes, and pedestrian oriented development character will foster walkability within each district. In this way, mobility alternatives that are not as available in other districts of the City will be possible in TODs.
Furthermore, Downtown shopping as well as retail clusters within TODs will feature a network of sidewalks, public spaces, sitting places, and attractive window displays. By providing businesses with a convenient and prominent address while offering workers, colleagues and customers places to meet, dine, relax, and shop nearby, TODs will facilitate the face-to-face interactions that are of increasing importance to attract workers and promote economic success in the innovation-oriented economy.
2. neighborhood edges
The major vehicular corridors that traverse the City are primary unifying elements of the broader future City structure. These corridors connect employment and mixed-use activity centers with each other, freeway interchanges, transit stations, and Downtown. However, existing corridor-oriented strip development typically features building types and/or site treatments that are incompatible with the character of existing residential neighborhoods, often located just behind corridor-fronting commercial properties. A typical example of such incompatibility would be a corridor commercial property with trash dumpsters and loading areas abutting the back yard of a single-family home, or a corridor building’s rooftop ventilation equipment and ducts facing the backyard bedroom windows of adjacent homes.
As new development occurs along the corridors adjacent to low-density residential neighborhoods, the edges immediately contiguous with those neighborhoods will feature more compatible uses and site treatments.
A shift in character and market focus will cast a new role for these corridors as edges to adjacent neighborhoods. These edges will accommodate larger scale development that is suitable to wider, more heavily trafficked roads and will function as a “buffer” to residential neighborhoods behind. The Plan anticipates streetscape improvements to add visual appeal and value to the corridors, development continuity along street edges, and buffering and compatibility with existing neighborhoods behind the corridors.

Corridors Specific Plan
This v ersion was last updated on June 18 , 20 20 .
P leas e s ee V ersion History on next page for details.
Corridors Specific
Plan
Downtown Specific
Plan
The Pomona Corridors Specific Plan was
established to orchestrate private and public
investment activities along the Garey Avenue,
Holt Avenue, Mission Boulevard, and Foothill
Boulevard corridors, and to support and promote
the type of investment that will enhance the beauty
and vitality of the City’s primary commercial
corridors. To accomplish this, the Specific Plan
presents the community’s vision for the evolution
and continued growth of these corridors and
establishes the primary means of regulating
land use and development within the Specific
Plan Area (see Section 0.2 - Specific Plan Area).
Finally, the document contains planned actions
and investments that the community intends to
implement over time and as resources allow, to
stimulate and to complement private investment
along the corridors.
This plan included many community objectives,
such as...
• Plan Comprehensively
• Increase Value
• Beautify the Corridors
• Ensure a Successful Downtown
• Synergize with City Assets
• Improve multi-modal mobility
• integrate mobility with Land Use
• Ensure prosperity and sustainability
• Strengthen community character
• Improve public safety
• Acheive the long term vision established in the
General Plan
• Protect adjacent neighborhoods.
This was the starting point for understanding future
uses in Downtown Pomona as well as identifying
larger goals for Downtown Pomona for us to align
with using the framework outlined.
"The Downtown Pomona Specific Plan is a
comprehensive document that implements the
vision for Downtown Pomona established in the
City of Pomona General Plan. The Specific Plan
was originally adopted in 1994 and has had several
targeted updates. An additional purpose of the
specific plan update is to reconcile overlapping
development standards, land uses, and boundary
conditions with the Pomona Corridors Specific
Plan and implement the Pomona General Plan
update, both adopted in March 2014.
Downtown is the community’s center of business,
culture and living. Taking advantage of this
diversity of uses, the Specific Plan reinforces
Downtown as the mixed-use “heart of the City,”
placing emphasis upon its many activities and
exceptional transit service. Building scale, location,
and orientation foster the traditional pedestrian
focus within Downtown. Likewise, streetscape and
infrastructure improvements enhance walkability
and the visual character of the City, helping to reestablish Pomona’s identity and vitality.
Downtown will continue its renaissance as
a mixed-use center enjoyed by locals and
visitors alike. Transit access — combined with
Downtown’s orientation to pedestrian use —
makes it a place where people can live and
work without relying on automobiles. As a result,
particular emphasis will be placed on parking
requirements appropriate to transit districts,
strategically located shared parking facilities, and
active parking management. As more people make
Downtown their home, new parks and outdoor
gathering spaces will make the district more livable
and community-oriented."
This was the guiding document when begining to
to analyze and inventory the study area. The team
is using the goals set out in this document to help
prioritize strategies for meeting the city's goals for
Downtown.

TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 27 History & Demographics
"The Pomona area was situated along a trade
route used by Native Americans. The first
recorded inhabitants were the Gabrieleno
Native Americans. Two soldiers, Don Ingacio
Palomares and Don Ricardo Vejar petitioned
the governor and on April, 1837 were granted
rights to the land.
In the early 1800s, Pomona was known
as an "urban garden". Pomona quickly
became an economic leader in citrus. In the
1870s, the coming of the railroad spurred
agriculture. Pomona's role in the expanding
industry influenced the citrus community to
name "Pomona" after the Roman goddess
of fruit and fruit trees. The name proved
prophetic and vineyards flourished in the
1880's, supplying the winemaking and
raisin industries. Citrus orchards and olive
groves replaced vineyards in the 1890's and,
through its agricultural enterprises Pomona
maintained an economic lead in the valley.
On January 6,1888, Pomona was
incorporated as a City and became a charter
City in 1911. Today, Pomona is the seventh
largest city in Los Angeles County, with a
population of over 151,000 residents."
- City of Pomona Website, About Pomona
In June of 2020, the City of Pomona
was awarded a Transformative Climate
Communities Grant for Pomona ACTS
(Activated for CommunityTransformation
& Sustainability). This grant will assist
in facilitating planning activities around
expanding clean, convenient, and affordable
transportation options and affordable
housing. While remaining aligned with
the General Plan, Specific Plans, Active
Transportation Plan, and the Green Plan,
other future projects will also include
feasibility assesment of clean energy options.

TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 29 Vehicle Parking District Background
Pomona’s Vehicle Parking (VPD) is a unique
organization both regionally and nationally.
The district was established after the second
world war as a privately funded district to
manage parking in Downtown Pomona.
Much of the property, including the currently
managed twenty-six lots were given to the
city by private organizations for the purpose
of providing adequate parking. The creation
of the district coincided with a suburban
driving boom after the war as well as changes
throughout Pomona.
Today the VPD is administered by a 7-person
commission responsible for regulating
the assets. VPD has provided Downtown
Pomona a unique amenity, but also affected
the its development trajectory. Today, the
VPD owned land totals to about 19.7 acres
which is 12.5% of all land in the study area.
Current VPD permit fees.

Metro
California Metrolink was founded in 1991
as the Southern California Regional Rail
Authority and began operating in 1992. It is
operated by Amtrak. To this day it consists
of about 59 stations and 536 miles of route
network. It is the rail network that connects
southern California areas for both commuters
and non-commuters.
Metrolink emailed a survey to 895,068 current
and former customers to learn more about
current ridership patterns. Between March 22
and April 4, 2022 they received 12,666 valid
online responses from all six counties within
the Metrolink service area. These are some of
the results from that survey.
• The average age of a Metrolink rider in
2022 increased to 51 yrs from 44 yrs in
2018
• Hispanic/Latinx ridership is up from 30%
in 2018 to 31% in 2020
• 39% of current riders reported an income
below $50,000 comepared to 23% in
2018
• 17% of riders strted taking Metrolik during
the pandemic while returned lapsed riders
make up 18% of riders.
• 26% are riding less since the pandemic
and 39% did not change usage, however,
it is believed returning and new riders will
drive growth.
• 52% of riders use Metrolink for
commuting to and from work or school
while 48% use it for non-commute trips
which is more than double the 20% from
2018.
• 83% of riders have been riding the
Metrolink for more than 2 years and 74%
of lapsed riders are likely to ride again.

VPD Lot Dimensions & Viability
Using mixed-use multi-family building
standards, not all lots are viable for that type
of development. Most multi-family buildings
require a width of atleast 60 feet and overall
need more than half an acre to provide a
reasonable number of units.

The walkscore of the study area on a scale
of 0-100 is 52, which means it is the area
is somewhat walkable but most errands
require a vehicle. There are also about 115
bars, restaurants, and coffee shops in the
area and residents can reach at least 1 of
these establishments within a 5 minute
walk. However, the sidewalk conditions on
most streets is ranked at modest or poor,
impacting the pedestrian experience and
overall walkability of the area.

Public Engagement Pop-up
As part of the outreach plan, the team
conducted a public engagement popup at the Day of the Dead Art Walk on the evening of November 12th.
There were three exercises people
could complete in order to provide
feedback about Downtown Pomona.
The first activity was a mapping
station and the other was a budgeting
exercise. A digital survey was also
available on site or via the web. The
budgeting exercise was the most
popular, allowing residents and
visitors to spend fictitious dollars on
their preferred improvements and
interventions for Downtown Pomona.
The primary take-aways from the popup were: • Increased opportunities for youth and families to engage
in downtown activitities - like
playscapes
• Increased streetlighting and
wayfinding for downtown
• Increased green space in
downtown especially street
trees
• More affrodable housing options • A desire to see more street cafes and outdoor dining space
• Other types of green space like
pocket parks or urban gardens

Public Engagement
“Infrastructure is there, we just need to improve
upon it”
“There are other components that could be
implemented like different styles of bus stops,
inviting shops, lighting, and greenscape.”

Stakeholder Session 2: Summary
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT
As part of the community outreach plan
for the project, stakeholder sessions
were conducted in the scenario
planning phase of the project.
The final stakeholder and community
feedback opportunity will occur when
the full document is presented to the
city for review.
The primary take-aways from the
sessions were: • A desire for parking to be
concentrated in one area to
allow for te redevelopment of
the smaller overflow lots as well
as the larger surface lots
• A desire to protect on-street
parking as much as possible
• There is an aversion to any
development style about
7-stories with a clear preference
for townhomes and live/work
housing typologies
• A consensus that traffic calming
measures are needed on 1st
St and Mission Blvd within the
project area.
• Interest in implementing specific
drop-off and pick-up areas for
rideshare and food delivery

TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 95 Methodology
To evaluate parking in Downtown Pomona the
team developed a series of steps to review the
historical and current use patterns to eventually
determine the amount and location of parking
needed.
The team began by researching previously
prepared studies for historical data, including
parking studies for proposed development
(containing prior parking pattern data),
transportation analyses for proposed
development (containing prior traffic volume
data), and other relevant transportation data in
the City of Pomona (City) GIS database. This
included coordination with City staff to identify
the current level of development in Downtown
Pomona.
After gaining an initial understanding, the
team conducted a field review of Downtown
Pomona’s Vehicle Parking District (VPD),
including the City-owned parking lots and
adjacent on-street parking. This included
the confirmation of an inventory of available
public parking spaces located on- and offstreet in the Downtown Pomona area, as well as identification of adjacent public transit
infrastructure and parking management
measures employed for public parking.
Based on the inventory key VPD parking lots
were identified and sampled for peak hour
parking occupancy trends (morning, midday,
afternoon, and evening periods) on a selected
weekday and Saturday. During these selected
survey days, aerial drone was also collected
to increase the sample size. Parking was also
reviewed during a large community event to
understand capacity and location preferences.
A review of the parking survey data collected
identified develop potential adjustment factors
for use with the historical data collected; the
historical parking data was then be expanded
to estimate current conditions and compared
to the collected data to determine suitability for
use in this analysis.
All of this data collection and analysis helped
to identify which lots are most used and at
what times. This date will be employed moving
forward in a demand model that factors in
current usage and new development to create
a comprehensive understanding of Downtown
Pomona’s future parking needs.
City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 97
EXISTING CONDITIONS PARKING
The Downtown Pomona study area generally
includes those blocks from White Avenue to Towne
Avenue (in the west-east direction) and Center
Avenue to 4th Street (in the north-south direction).
The existing Union Pacific railroad tracks bifurcate
Downtown, effectively creating two distinct
patterns of development and parking. This physical
separation results in a total of five at-grade railroad crossings at White Avenue, Park Avenue, Main
Street, Palomares Street, and Towne Avenue; an
underpass crossing is available at Garey Avenue.
Sub-Areas
For the purposes of this analysis, Downtown was
divided into 10 sub-areas to reflect the variable
combination of land uses and potentially identify
localized parking trends north and south of the
railroad tracks. Figure 1 illustrates the sub-areas
with a brief description provided below.
Sub-areas 1-4 are located within the northern
portion of Downtown and can be generally
characterized by a low-density combination of
residential / light industrial / institutional uses and include the Pomona Transit Center.
•Sub-area 1 – Single family homes and light
industrial uses
•Sub-area 2 – Single family homes, light industrial
and institutional uses including the Pomona Transit
Center
•Sub-area 3 – Single family homes and apartments
with light industrial uses
•Sub-area 4 – Single family homes and light
industrial uses
Sub-areas 5-10 are located within the southern
portion of Downtown and can be generally
characterized by a relatively higher density
combination of residential / commercial /
institutional uses with a number of surface parking
lots.
•Sub-area 5 – Single family homes, light industrial
and public park space
•Sub-area 6 – Surface parking lots and
commercial office/retail uses
•Sub-area 7 – Surface parking lots,
entertainment, and commercial office/retail uses
•Sub-area 8 – Surface parking lots, commercial
and institutional uses
•Sub-area 9 – Surface parking lots, public park
space and institutional uses
•Sub-area 10 – Surface parking lots,
apartments, public park space and institutional
uses
Parking Inventory
An on-street parking inventory was collected in
October 2022 for the Downtown study area.
The on-street parking supply is a combination
of unmarked parallel parking stalls and angled
parking stalls with various permit or time limit
restrictions. As illustrated in Figure 2A, a total of
approximately 1,996 on-street parking spaces
are available in Downtown, with approximately
674 on-street spaces in the northern portion
and approximately 1,322 spaces in the southern
portion. This represents a distribution of 34%
and 66%, respectively, north and south of the
railroad tracks.
The public off-street lots as shown in Figure
2B are administered by the City of Pomona
through the Vehicle Parking District (VPD) and
available for use by all Downtown visitors/
tenants for a daily fee or on a monthly permit
basis. Of the 26 VPD lots available to all users,
a majority are primarily located in the southern
portion of Downtown within sub-areas 5-10; two
lots (Lots # 1 and 2) are located immediately
north of study area, and four lots (Lots #4, 8,
16, & 26) are located immediately south of the
study area. Similar to the on-street parking, a
parking inventory was conducted in October
2022; a total of 24 lots were identified as being
open and available at the time of the inventory.
Approximately 2,027 total spaces are available
in the VPD lots, with approximately 195 spaces
available in the northern portion and 1,832
spaces available in the southern portion of
Downtown. This represents a distribution of 10%
and 90%, respectively, north and south of the
railroad tracks.
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT
Parking Analysis Summary
City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 99
It should be noted that several of the lots
have been identified for removal from the VPD
system, due to either land sale (Lots #2 and 26),
reservation for redevelopment purposes (Lots #6
and 7), or ownership by another public agency
(Lot #16). In addition, the VPD is currently
exploring the construction of a parking structure
that is anticipated to result in a net increase in
capacity in Lot #10.
Parking Occupancy
A parking occupancy survey was also conducted
in October 2022 on a select weekday and
Saturday that identified the number of vehicles
parked either on-street or in a VPD parking lot.
The parking occupancy surveys were generally
collected during the morning (10:00AM12:00PM) and evening (6:00PM-8:00PM) periods for both the on-street and off-street
parking in Downtown.
On-street Occupancy - Weekday
As illustrated in Figure 3A, the morning period onstreet parking was observed to have an overall 43% occupancy across the entire Downtown
study area, with an approximate occupancy
distribution of 46% and 41%, respectively, in
the northern and southern portions. Within
the northern portion, the parking occupancy
appears to be concentrated in Sub-areas 2 and
3 where each sub-area experiences at least 50%
occupancy. Within the southern portion, onstreet parking demand appears concentrated in Sub-area 10, with approximate 87% occupancy,
while the remaining sub-areas experience no
more than 46% occupancy.
Figure 3B illustrates the evening period where
the on-street parking was observed to have
an overall 32% occupancy across the entire
Downtown study area, with an approximate
occupancy distribution of 28% and 33%,
respectively, in the northern and southern
portions. Within the northern portion, the parking
occupancy appears to be concentrated in
Sub-area 3, with a 59% occupancy. Within the
southern portion, on-street parking demand
appears to remain concentrated in Sub-area
10, with approximately 56% occupancy, while
the remaining sub-areas experience no more than
45% occupancy.
On-street Occupancy - Weekend
Figure 4A illustrates the morning period where the
on-street parking was observed to have an overall
33% occupancy across the entire Downtown
study area, with an approximate occupancy
distribution of 32% and 33%, respectively, in
the northern and southern portions. Within the
northern portion, the parking occupancy appears
to be concentrated in Sub-area 3, with a 49%
occupancy. Within the southern portion, on-street
parking demand appears to be concentrated in
Sub-area 10, with approximately 60% occupancy,
while the remaining sub-areas experience no more
than 45% occupancy.
As illustrated in Figure 4B, the evening period
on-street parking was observed to have an overall
34% occupancy across the entire Downtown
study area, with an approximate occupancy
distribution of 26% and 38%, respectively, in
the northern and southern portions. Within the
northern portion, the parking occupancy appears
to be concentrated in Sub-area 3, with a 49%
occupancy. Within the southern portion, on-street
parking demand appears to remain concentrated
in Sub-areas 7 and 8, with approximately 66%
and 59% occupancy, respectively. Sub-area 10
experiences approximately 53% occupancy, while
the remaining sub-areas experience no more than
40% occupancy.
VPD Lot Occupancy - Weekday
Figure 5A illustrates the morning period where VPD
lot occupancy was observed to be approximately
44% across the system. Much of the parking
demand is concentrated in Sub-areas 8 through
10 (east of Garey Avenue), with several VPD lots,
primarily located in the immediate vicinity of the
Western University of Health Sciences, reaching an
occupancy level of 85% or more.
Figure 5B illustrates the evening period where VPD
lot occupancy was observed to be approximately
22% across the system. Two individual lots in
Sub-areas 9 and 10 were observed to have
an occupancy level of at least 65%; the typical
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT
City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 101
observed lot occupancy in this period was 30% or
less.
VPD Lot Occupancy - Weekend
Figure 6A illustrates the morning period where VPD
lot occupancy was observed to be approximately
27% across the system. The highest parking demand
is concentrated in Sub-area 10 (east of Garey
Avenue), with several VPD lots, primarily located in the immediate vicinity of the Western University of Health
Sciences, reaching an occupancy level of 70% or
more.
Figure 6B illustrates the evening period where VPD lot
occupancy was observed to be approximately 34%
across the system. Concentrated parking occupancy
was observed in Sub-area 9, where three lots were
observed with over 90% occupancy. The remaining
lots in the system did not exceed 65% occupancy.
Late Night Conditions
A supplemental parking occupancy survey was
conducted in February 2023 on a selected Friday and
Saturday evening to capture nightlife activity, generally from 7:00PM-11:00PM. The occupancy surveys
were conducted within a focused area of Downtown
and captured both on-street and VPD lot parking and
included Sub-areas 6 through 9.
For the purposes of the late-night survey, the focused
study area was categorized as being either west of
Garey Avenue (Sub-areas 6 & 7) or east of Garey
Avenue (Sub-areas 8 & 9). As a result, this represents
a portion of the total parking supply available in
Downtown. The focused late-night areas provide:
•708 total spaces west of Garey Avenue (282 onstreet and 426 in VPD Lots) •1,339 total spaces east of Garey Avenue (344 onstreet and 995 in VPD Lots) A summary of the late-night survey data is presented
below.
Friday Evening

Maximum Observed Parking Utilization
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT
City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 103
A review of the parking occupancy survey data
identified the general parking patterns currently
experienced in Downtown. As demonstrated by the
survey results, the characteristics of the on-street and VPD Lot parking varies by location, day, and time.
Figure 9A illustrates the maximum observed parking
occupancy in each VPD Lot. This ranges from 6%
in Lot 4 to 104% in Lot 10. Figure 9B illustrates the
maximum observed on-street parking occupancy; this
ranged from 40% in Sub-area 4 to 87% in Sub-area
10. EXISTING CONDITIONS MOBILITY
Transit Service
As of December 2022, three operators provide
regional transit connectivity into Downtown via the
Pomona Transit Center, which is generally located
at the intersection of Garey Avenue & Commercial
Street.
•Foothill Transit operates six lines (Lines 195, 197,
286, 291, 292, and 482) that provide subregional
connectivity between the Pomona Transit Center and
adjacent communities; typical peak period service
headways range from 15 to 60 minutes by direction.
•Foothill Transit also operates the Silver Streak,
providing regional connectivity between Downtown
Los Angeles and Montclair and servicing the Pomona
Transit Center. Typical peak period service headways
range from 15 to 30 minutes by direction.
•OmniTrans Line 61 provides subregional connectivity
between Fontana and the Pomona Transit Center,
with a typical peak period service headway of 20
minutes.
•Metrolink operates the Riverside Line on the Union
Pacific Railroad tracks that bifurcate Downtown. This
is a regional commuter rail line with a scheduled stop
at the Pomona Transit Center.
Figure 7 10 generally illustrates the routing of the
transit lines servicing Downtown. Local transit service operates along Garey Avenue with connection into
the Pomona Transit Center and the remaining transit
lines provide service along Holt Avenue (located north
of the study area) and Mission Boulevard (located
south of the study area).
Bicycle Facilities
As of December 2022, only minimal designated
bicycle facilities are available in Downtown, including bicycle lanes on Park Avenue between 4th Street and
3rd Street and sharrows on Monterey Avenue and
on Park Avenue north of 3rd Street. The remaining
portions of the existing street network may be utilized by cyclists, but do not provide any bicycle-specific
facilities. Pomona Active Transportation Plan (City of
Pomona, 2012) has identified Downtown for future
development of bicycle facilities and parking.
SHARED PARKING MODEL CALIBRATION
As Downtown contains a variety of land uses that rely
on public parking, a shared parking demand analysis
of Downtown was performed to help determine the
appropriate amount of parking needed to adequately
serve the peak parking demand generated by
the multiple land uses found in Downtown. The
shared parking model is focused on the core area
of Downtown contained in Sub-areas 6 through 10
where a majority of the public parking supply and
high-demand generating uses are located. The
shared parking model is calibrating and projecting the
public parking demand, not total parking demand, of
Downtown.
The parking analysis was conducted using the
Shared Parking, 3rd Edition (Urban Land Institute,
International Council of Shopping Centers, and
National Parking Association, 2020) methodology,
which describes shared parking as follows:
Shared parking is defined as parking space that can
be used to serve two or more individual land uses
without conflict or encroachment. The opportunity
to implement shared parking is the result of two
conditions:
•Variations in the peak accumulation of parked
vehicles as the result of different activity patterns of adjacent or nearby land uses (by hour, by day, by
season)
•Relationships among land use activities that result
in people’s attraction to two or more land uses on a
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT
City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 105
single auto trip to a given area or development
Most zoning codes provide peak parking ratios
for individual land uses. While this appropriately
recognizes that separate land uses generate different
parking demands on an individual basis, it does
not reflect the fact that the combined peak parking
demand, when a mixture of land uses shares the
same parking supply, can be substantially less than
the sum of the individual demands. For example,
retail uses peak in the early to mid-afternoon while
restaurant uses peak in the lunchtime and/or evening
hours (depending on the type of restaurant).
Shared Parking Assumptions
The shared parking model utilizes a series of
assumptions, in addition to the base data, to develop
the parking demand model. This discussion explains
the assumptions used in this analysis and describes
the background documentation used for each of
these factors.
Parking Ratio. The Shared Parking, 3rd Edition
methodology requires that each land use select
parking ratios; that is, the parking ratio for each land use if used independently. The base parking demand
ratios were developed through an extensive research
and documentation effort and these base rates reflect
a national average. For the purposes of this analysis,
the base rates modified for all land uses based on
the results of the empirical parking demands and to
account for the existence of extensive private parking
supply in Downtown.
Time of Day. The time of day factor is one of the key
assumptions of the shared parking model. This factor
reveals the hourly parking pattern of the analyzed land use; essentially, the peak demands are indicated by
this factor. The Shared Parking, 3rd Edition research
efforts have yielded a comprehensive data set of time
of day factors for multiple land uses. As the demand
for each land use fluctuates over the course of the
day, the ability to implement shared parking emerges.
Minor adjustments were made to the base time of
day factors for all land uses. These adjustments were
made based on the local characteristics for similar
land uses.
Weekday vs. Weekend. Each shared parking analysis
measured the parking demand on a weekday as
well as on a Saturday. Research has indicated that a
source for variation in parking demand can be traced
to the difference between weekday and weekend
demand.
Seasonal Variation. The shared parking analysis
was based on the peak month of the year. The total
parking demand of the Project was compared over
the course of the year; the peak month’s demand is
reported.
Mode Split and Captive Market. One factor that
affects the overall parking demand at a particular
development is the number of visitors and employees
that arrive by automobile. It is common that mixeduse projects and districts have patrons/visitors captured within the site itself based on the mixed-use
nature of the Project. The mode split accounts for the
number of visitors and employees that do not arrive
by automobile or are internally captured (transit, walk, and other means). Due to these factors, the project
may experience higher volumes of walk-in traffic and
public transit usage than the base model assumes;
therefore, adjustments were made to the mode split
for each land use.
Auto Occupancy. This project’s shared parking
analysis used the national averages for auto
occupancy, i.e., the typical number of passengers in
each vehicle parking at the site, for all land uses. No changes were made to the average rates.
The shared parking model applies these
assumptions/inputs and considers each land use
separately, in order to identify the peak parking
demands of each project component (i.e., restaurant
was separated from retail). A shared parking model
was calibrated to existing conditions for Sub-areas 6
through 10.
Sub-Areas 6 Through 10
Tables 1 and 2 detail the input assumptions and
summary of the calibrated shared parking model.
For each land use in found in Sub-areas 6 through
10, the tables show the base parking demand ratio
for a weekday and a Saturday, the mode adjustment
(mode split), the non-captive ratio (internal capture), TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT

This analysis is in support of the Parking
& Infrastructure Study on Pomona’s
(“City”) Downtown Parking Lots to
Support Housing Development.
• Focus of this analysis is on the City’s
Downtown Specific Plan Area (“Study
Area”)
• This analysis presents and summarizes
key demographic data and real
estate market information pertinent
to the evaluation of the feasibility of
facilitating the development of housing
within the Study Area
• The Study Area is atypically ripe for
the delivery of significant housing
product in the near future
Introduction + Initial Findings
Initial Findings
Pomona’s Downtown represents a unique
redevelopment opportunity to build on an
authentic past.
• City’s substantial ownership of
property in the Study Area may have
a constraining impact on the pace of
redevelopment and private investment in
the built environment
• Residual land values appear lower than
the cost of structured parking; City
owned parking lots may only yield value
for reuse if some or all parking is not
replaced
• ~8% of Study Area residents take
public transit to work, ~66% drive alone,
~13% carpool, ~9% work from home.
No Study Area residents reported taking
the train to work (2016-2020 American
Community Survey)
• Pomona and the Study Area have a rich
history from the late 1800’s with what
appears to be peaks in the 1920’s, and
1960’s. It is now ripe for new investment
and a revival

TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 117 Market Analysis Summary
Multi-family Submarket
• The introduction of limited higher
quality product (4&5 Star) from 2014-
2017 took notable time to stabilize
• 4&5 Star product enjoys a substantial
premium in pricing
• Higher quality product is achieving
a substantial value premium and a
slight capitalization rate premium over
lesser quality product
• Vacancy rates for lower tier product
has been, and is projected to remain
extremely low
• The submarket is dominated by lower
quality product that likely provides
naturally occurring affordable housing
• A substantial portion of the housing
stock outside of the downtown core
appears to have substantial deferred
maintenance
• New higher quality deliveries are
projected to be absorbed moderately
efficiently given current market
rental rates, but economics suggest
currently financially infeasible to
develop
Rent + Vacancy
Inventory + Vacancy
Sales Price + CAP Rate
Retail Submarket
• Retail rents and vacancy trailed the
Great Recession in the broader market,
and have grown steadily, though
modestly since
• Within the broader market, vacancy
rates across all classes are good or
excellent, and projected to remain,
however localized vacancy and
turnover appears to be a concern
• Inventory has been and is projected to
be generally stable across classes
• Retail capitalization rates decreased
steadily over the 5-6 years after the
Great Recession and are projected to
be somewhat stable going forward
• Local retail rents appear modest / very
affordable compared to broader market
alternatives

TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 119 Market Analysis Summary
Office Submarket
• Office rent has grown only modestly
across quality tiers
• Vacancy rates have vacillated fairly
widely and somewhat independent of
broader market conditions
• Within the broader market, reductions
in lower quality inventory has mostly
been replaced by higher quality
inventory
• Vacancy projections are fairly modest
despite anticipated reductions in
office demand due to work from home
trends
• Lower quality inventory is projected
to be transitioned out of the segment
through redevelopment, a trend seen
within the local market
• Capitalization rates are projected to
remain historically low despite current
interest rate pressure and potential
reduction in office demand
Rent + Vacancy
Inventory + Vacancy
Sales Price + CAP Rate
Industrial Submarket
• Industrial has been the darling segment
over the last several years heavily due
primarily to growth in logistics demand
• Industrial demand is slowing slightly
but remains strong
• Rent growth has been strong, and
vacancy rates are extremely low
• Within the broader market, the addition
of new inventory across product types
has been absorbed quickly
• Even older buildings within the local
market attract buyers, may be based
on low costs per square foot.
• Many small general commercial /
industrial buildings within the local
market appear to have low intensity
uses and/or sit vacant.

TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 121 Market Analysis Conclusion • Downtown Pomona has an authentic collection of land uses and the core elements required to
be a vibrant urban hub
• Real estate fundamentals suggest ongoing
headwinds for new ground up development
• Ongoing conversion / maximization of existing
improvements may provide near term growth
opportunity
• The addition of basic amenities / services
(e.g., a small grocer, drug store, etc.) could
fundamentally improve the quality of life for
current and future residents within the Study
Area
• Land ownership within the downtown area is
highly aggregated, and in some cases may be
hindering redevelopment
• The Metrolink Station is accretive and a
beneficial amenity, but may not be a driver of
current opportunities
• Western University represents a major employer
in the Study Area, an economic magnet, and an
opportunity to serve as one prong of multiple
elements required to foster investment in the
Study Area
• Pomona’s downtown is ripe for a resurgence,
but needs one or more catalysts to drive it
City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 123
• Consider fostering market driven
redevelopment projects such as the 158 2nd
Street project • Can help prove the market for new
high quality housing options
• Adds physical and economic activity in
core areas that can serve to promote
additional investment
• Consider short term suspension(s)
of Art in Public Places fee and
Inclusionary Housing requirements in
targeted areas and monitor impact on
development interest / activity
• Continue pursuing the development of
projects on parking lots currently being
considered by City, however monitor density
and clustering of income restricted units
versus market units to ensure a balance and
variety of housing options. • Consider making additional lots available for development over time
after these projects have stabilized
• Consider utilizing parking lot assets to
support reduced or eliminated parking
requirements for new developments • Allows City to monitor utilization over time and preserve assets for future
needs
• City could implement a parking pass
program; over time the value of the
parking and cost for the passes may
increase providing the City a revenue
stream and future resource
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT
Market Analysis Conclusion
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 125 Potential Impact to Study
Area and development
• Generally requires 11% of for sale project
units, or 13% of for rent project units be
income restricted to moderate income
households
• Projects less than 30 units may pay an
in-lieu fee instead of providing affordable
units
• Multiple for sale and for rent scenarios
evaluated and generally suggest that new
product in Study Area would be naturally
occurring affordable housing
• Thus, at this time, rent and/or for sale
pricing would not be notably impacted by
affordability requirements for moderate
income households, if at all
• To the extent market fundamentals change
over time, and rent / sales price growth
out paces median income increases,
inclusionary housing policy could become
an impediment to future development
• Where appropriate, the use of low income
housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) funding
models is an excellent tool to deliver
affordable housing at and below the low
income threshold

• VPD lot 9 has an area of approximately . X acre
• It is bordered by 1st St to the north, Park Ave to
the west, a vacant lot to the east and south.
• It is located along the new bike route planned for
Park Ave and two blocks from the transit center.
• This lot is adjacent the School of Arts & Enterprise
as well as the Pomona Holy Church and at the
intersection of Main St and 3rd street.
• This lot had below 50% occupancy for both
weekdays and weekends.
• Being positioned between two community assets
this lot serves the area best by remaining as
parking during the first phase of development
strategies. It could offset the parking demand that
will be shifted by the planned development of lots
6 and 7.
• Potentially good opportunity for mixed use
building (though that will be reassesed and
determined based on parking need subsequent to
lot 6 & 7 redevelopment)
• Site and configuration suitable for smaller
residential development
• Good location, close to area amenities, likely
increasing amenities over time

• VPD lot 10 has an area of approximately 1.3 acres
• It is bordered by 1st St to the north, Main St
to the west, Garey Ave to the east and Shaun
Diamond Plaza to the south.
• This lot is most near the Transit Center of all the
VPD lots. It could also serve the retail along 2nd
street and revitalization and reactivation of Shaun
Diamond Plaza on the west side of 2nd street.
• This lot presents a unique opportunity to
meet parking demands as well as provide
higher density housing opportunities while
simulatenously buffering the heart of downtown
from train noise and disruptions.
• There is the potential for lot 10 to provide around
600 additional units in Downtown Pomona.
• This lot has less than 50% occupancy on
weekdays and weekend mornings and 50-75%
occupancy on weekend evenings.
• Large size and suitable site configuration for
housing development on portions or all of site
• Proximity to active heavy / freight rail line a
potential concern for residential use
• Good proximity to amenities
• VPD exploring construction of parking structure
on this site with net parking increase.

Summary
The adjacent map utilizes parking data
gathered to illustrate which VPD lots
have the most and least activity during
weekday mornings and evenings and
weekend mornings and evenings. This
data does not include special event
weekends that may draw larger crowds to
downtown Pomona.
In the combined map, the orange shows
the lots that are the least used during all
of the previously mentioned times. This
lower utilization potentially makes these
lots more feasible for alternative uses.

Example Scorecard
With 26 lots in the VPD
inventory spread across
the study area, each
lot presents different
opportunities and
challenges for reuse or
development. The analysis
summarized on the right
shows that many of the
same lots are advantageous
in a variety of categories.
Using the proceeding
scorecard the cumulative
findings are aggregated to
prioritize lots for parking,
development, or other uses.

TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 195 Key Findings and Recommendations
Due to the change in parking demand,
enforcement, and over supply, raising
rates on daily use may not close the
budget gap.
Recommend reviewing monthly and longterm parking fees as well as daily rates.
Investigate implementing dynamic pricing
control in the longterm.
Due to the current market, it is advised
to maintain ownership of VPD lots. The
current land value does not support
market rate or mixed-income housing
developments.
Continue to support organic development
along 2nd Street.
Strengthen basic amenities and retail
while the market matures.
Assess other incentives that could lower
the barrier to development.
Focus on continuing to improve the
environment of downtown by developing
multi-modal infrastructure such as bike
lanes and access to the transit center,
increased access to green space
and open space, and streetscape
improvements for a more enjoyable retail
experience.
Continue to support arts programming,
city brand and culture, nightlife, and
weekly and monthly city programming.
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 197 Development Strategies
Three Strategies at Three
Stages
0-5 years: The heART of
Downtown (Core)
5-10 years: The Greening of
Pomona (Network)
10+: Plug-in (Infill/Phasing)
• Leverage existing rail and bus
infrastructure to promote ridership
to and from downtown Pomona
• Create higher density with
immediately impactful development
on larger lots around the primary
gateway of Downtown
• Create a critical mass of residents
around existing retail and
infrastructure for a 0-5 year first
phase of development
The heART of Downtown
Prioritize the Transit Oriented
Development District
immediately around the
Transit Center and 2nd
Street to capitalize on
existing activity and increase
downtown district density.
Plug-In
• Missing middle - Introduce housing
typologies not in Downtown Pomona
• Disperse housing and other
development opportunities throughout
the green network
• Create robust live-work
neighborhoods
• Begin to infill the VPD lots that were
not appropriate or feasible for the first
phase of development
• Strengthen the street network through
greening and activating strategies of
the streetscapes and right of ways
• String together the necklace of
network art, plazas, and community
assets
• Create a more distributed network of
development in downtown
• Build the connective tissue of
downtown density between the other
VPD lots beyond the core/heart
boundary
The Greening of Pomona
Connect community assets
and new developments
through greenways, a green
spine, and other activating
strategies for an expanded and
improved downtown street
(mobility) network.
Housing where it’s missing
Plug in missing middle housing
typologies and other small
scale development to infill
remaining vacant lots for a
more robust live, work, and
play downtown district.

Residential Tower Typology
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 213 Townhomes
• Tested three-story prototype with first
floor garage
• Average of 1,700 SF of living area,
plus garage
• Under for rent scenarios, while
capitalized rent may be sufficient,
unit sizes would likely need to be
smaller (e.g., 15’ width), and would
compromise rent potential versus
other building programs
• Stacked townhomes (e.g., four-story
program) could enhance feasibility
under for rent scenario, but alternative
building programs yield superior
feasibility
• Pro forma yielded a potential residual
land value of $1.1 MM / acre (~$25
/ SF), but required sales values
approaching $800,000 per unit, likely
well beyond market interest in the
area
Live/Work
• Tested dedicated three-story live / work
prototype with shared central space
• Average of 2,400 SF of living area
• Prototype considered unlikely to attract
sufficient rental interest at required
price points
• May be possible in future market
conditions given area / location interest
for small business owners who can
utilize benefits of business ownership
to support acquisition costs
• Pro forma yielded a potential residual
land value of less than $250k / acre
(~$6 / SF), and required sales values
exceeding $800,000 per unit, likely well
beyond market interest in the area
Feasibility of Hypothetical Development Programs
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 215 Mid-Rise
• Tested 4-6 Story prototype / Type V or
IIIA on podium
• 25% 450 SF Studios, 50% 650 SF
one-bedroom, 25% 850 SF twobedroom
• Prototype yielded sufficient revenues
to support reasonable residual land
value
• Prototypes self-parked on-site / did
not require off-site parking
• Superior configuration options / more
efficient / accretive to utilize super
blocks due to potential for wrap
building
• Potential to incorporate live / work
units in ground floor program
• Program performs best with smaller
unit sizes
• Pro forma run yielded a potential
residual land value of $6.5 MM / acre
(~$149 / SF)
Feasibility of Hypothetical Development Programs
TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 217 Development Policies and Incentives
1. Identify candidate VPD parking lot(s) for
redevelopment opportunities.
• This could include the redevelopment
of a single VPD lot, consolidating multiple
adjacent VPD lots, and/or combining with
adjacent privately owned parcels.
2. Confirm the feasibility of the
redevelopment opportunity site(s).
• Replace public parking (on-street and
in VPD lot) based on demand and/or
development agreement;
• Consider the compatibility of the
specific site and the replacement of
parking with the goals/objectives of the
General Plan and the City’s other mobilityfocused planning documents;
3. Maintain a balanced future parking
supply for public and private users.
• Ensure that sufficient public parking is
available/replaced for the VPD;
• Explore the expansion of TDM programs
and/or parking pricing policies (e.g.
dynamic/demand based vs timed);
• Incentivize the development
opportunities (e.g. sliding scale of
affordable housing vs parking, first-in
benefits, etc.).
4. Ensure compatible design of the future
parking facilities.
• Incorporate design features per Building
Code/Municipal Code, ADA, and/or
specific plan requirements;
• Accommodate future shifts in
transportation characteristics (e.g. EV
charging, bicycle parking, etc.);
• Consider the parking facility’s future
compatibility with second generation
(non-parking) uses.
5. Include programs or building
components that serve the public
as a certain percentage of the total
construction cost and incentive with a
lower land sale.
• Consider public open or green space
built either adjacent to or within a certain
walking distance from the development,
aim for no more than .25 miles or a 5 min
walk.
• Consider streetscape improvements
for all adjacent right-of-ways to the
development.
• Consider public art pieces be encourage
or mandated as a certain percentage of
the total construction cost.
6. Asses the existing city-wide plans for
goals around land use and development,
such as policies that promote the
construction of live/work units, expedite
application processing for developments
that meet climate change response
policies, expedite the process for projects
that include street improvements or the
creation of parks and open spaces in
areas undergoing densification.

2. YOUR VISION: FUTURE
What do you want to see in future Pomona?
ANYTHING ELSE?
I LIKE ...
parking is too cheap
public transit is primarily used to leave downtown, not to use in downtown the sweet trees with yellow flowers
diversity of people & businesses
Really like 2nd Street's walkability + slowness
Ability to close off 2nd street for events
Activate Pomona opportunities for businesses to engage with and activate the public realm love that DT Pomona is an Arts Colony
people that use public transit are "75% transient" - safety concerns (mostly on buses) connectivity from neighborhoods in Pomona to downtown could improve maintenance for older art pieces as well as support for new public art I WISH...
we had more awareness of the beauty and potential of Pomona Western University campus supported downtown businesses more downtown had more foot traffic
The spaces across from the Vault were better utilized for open space and not an eyesore that buy and hold private investors would do something with their properties businesses advertise Pomona locations first
we put Pomona first
can we expand the walkability of 2nd street to other streets in downtown? there were more small rentals downtown
WHAT IF...
we had more large restaurants at the corners
there was a better connection to the train station north of downtown we had more awareness for Pomona
we could have more bike lanes.
we build on the Arts Colony all month long, not just 2nd Saturday. we had more housing downtown
we maintain the integrity of the art colony & create an atmosphere like Pasadena and Santa Monica Marketplace TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT

having parking garages, sager and charge more, the money can use for city development in other aspects access for business, parking lot at 3rd street empty
open streetcar type for both north and south might not be a good way need real data analyze how transit been used

more options, things to do for kid and families during the daytime, 24- hour dinner smaller market would be good
food ways: the density of food availability walking distance:
historic buildings
need backup for the perception how transit being used,
transit can be learned from 2 aspects:1. consumers 2. city planners more food options, dog park,
skateboarding places (skate park)
transit center the most challenging place for safety: many incidents, a campus is nearby, children been exposed to them
more events, things getting bigger, second Saturday event. open space for more events will be good how is this grant-sponsored project informing/supporting the city's current RFP for vacant lots/space in the downtown?

POMONA DOWNTOWN REAL ESTATE MARKET & HOUSING ANALYSIS | DECEMBER 2022 DRAFT | 4
INITIAL FINDINGS
Pomona’s Downtown represents a unique redevelopment opportunity to build on an authentic past
City’s substantial ownership of property in the Study Area may have a constraining impact on the pace of redevelopment and private investment in the built environment Residual land values appear lower than the cost of structured parking; City owned parking lots may only yield value for reuse if some or all parking is not replaced ~8% of Study Area residents take public transit to work, ~66% drive alone, ~13% carpool, ~9% work from home. No Study Area residents reported taking the train to work (2016-2020 American Community Survey)
Pomona and the Study Area have a rich history from the late 1800’s with what appears to be peaks in the 1920’s, and 1960’s. It is now ripe for new investment and a revival POMONA DOWNTOWN REAL ESTATE MARKET & HOUSING ANALYSIS | DECEMBER 2022 DRAFT | 3

SUBMARKET REAL ESTATE SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
The performance of multifamily, retail, office, and industrial market segments in the greater regional submarket (e.g., East San Gabriel Valley) was reviewed While housing is ultimately the focus of this analysis, understanding the market fundamentals for these alternative land uses provides insight on the potential health of these land uses within the Study Area
Further, a healthy mix of land uses is fundamental to the long term appeal and success of housing within the Study Area

SUMMARY
Downtown Pomona has an authentic collection of land uses and the core elements required to be a vibrant urban hub
Real estate fundamentals suggest that residual land values are currently fairly low for owner occupied product, though slightly superior for multifamily product The addition of basic amenities / services (e.g., a small grocer, drug store, etc.) could fundamentally improve the quality of life for current and future residents within the Study Area The Metrolink Station is accretive and a beneficial amenity, but may not be a driver of current opportunities
Western University represents a major employer in the Study Area, an economic magnet, and an opportunity to serve as one prong of multiple elements required to foster investment in the Study Area
Pomona’s downtown is ripe for a resurgence

INITIAL FINDINGS
Pomona’s Downtown represents a unique redevelopment opportunity to build on an authentic past Real estate market fundamentals suggest some limited redevelopment opportunities given specific building programs may be possible in the near term
City can consider fostering and building on small incremental development over time City may benefit from the preservation of some parking lot assets to help shape future development and enhance asset value with time
There are a number of income restricted developments in and around the Study Area. Fostering a mix and diversity of market rate production may help to ensure the long-term economic stability and performance of the Study Area
The City’s 6th Cycle RHNA allocation is 2,799 very low income units, 1,339 low income units, 1,510 moderate income units, and 4,910 above moderate units - a total of 10,558 units. Conversion of some parking lots to residential uses may assist in housing production, but is likely to be limited in scale relative to the RHNA allocation.

MARKET CONDITIONS & HOUSING PRODUCTION SUMMARY | JULY 2023 | 32 CITY’S INCLUSIONARY HOUSING POLICY
Kosmont reviewed the City’s inclusionary housing policy Many nuances, but generally requires 11% of for sale project units, or 13% of for rent project units be income restricted to moderate income households
Projects less than 30 units may pay an in-lieu fee instead of providing affordable units Multiple other exceptions / pathways to deliver units off-site Multiple for sale and for rent scenarios evaluated and generally suggest that new product in Study Area would be naturally occurring affordable housing
Thus, at this time, rent and/or for sale pricing would not be notably impacted by affordability requirements for moderate income households, if at all
To the extent market fundamentals change over time, and rent / sales price growth outpaces median income increases, inclusionary housing policy could become an impediment to future development MARKET CONDITIONS & HOUSING PRODUCTION SUMMARY | JULY 2023 | 33
PERMITS & FEES
The City’s permit and fee schedule appears reasonable, and notably provides different fee schedules based on unit size
Total fees for smaller units appears to be on the order of $25k - $30k per unit (including PUSD developer fees) Art in Public Places (AIPP) – 1% of building valuation Applicable to residential projects with ten or more units, and commercial, industrial and institutional development with valuations of more than $750,000
Directly increases the cost of development by 1% (of building value) Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee – Under 1% to approximately 2% of development costs Range of impact based on several hypothetical projects evaluated Only applicable to eligible projects that do not elect to deliver income restricted units Hypothetical projects evaluated within the Study Area not notably impacted at this time, however some developers may not want to deal with ongoing requirements

MARKET CONDITIONS & HOUSING PRODUCTION SUMMARY | JULY 2023 | 35
USE OF CITY ASSETS TO FUND AFFORDABLE UNITS
Fundamental questions of this analysis:
How can the public parking lot assets within the Study Area be utilized to support the delivery of affordable housing?
How much affordable housing can be supported?
Amount of supportable housing is essentially tied to the:
Value of the parking lots as land for new development, or Value of the parking lots as parking that does not need to be provided as part of a development TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT
City of Pomona | 09.18.2023 305
MARKET CONDITIONS & HOUSING PRODUCTION SUMMARY | JULY 2023 | 36
QUANTIFYING REQUIRED AFFORDABLE UNIT PRODUCTION
The economic cost of an affordability covenant to a developer can be measured as the difference in revenue between a market and affordable unit
The economic cost of a rental unit varies based on unit size, market rent, capitalization rates, etc. Given unit sizes of 450 SF for a studio, 650 SF for a one-bedroom, 850 SF for a two-bedroom, market rents of $4.25 / SF ($1,913 / mo), $3.50 ($2,275 / mo), and $3.00 ($2,550 / mo) respectively, a 35% expense factor, 2023 income and utility expense tables, and a 4.5% capitalization rate, the economic cost of a given unit and affordability covenant would be as follows:
This example can be read as restricting a studio to a very low income household yields a unit worth $300,000 less than a market rate unit, and thus such restriction has a $300,000 economic cost Given the various components of the underlying calculations and constant fluctuation of the same, these equivalencies regularly shift
Studio 1 Bedroom 2 Bedroom
Very Low $ 300,000 $ 371,000 $ 418,000
Low 254,000 318,000 359,000
Moderate 25,000 56,000 65,000
MARKET CONDITIONS & HOUSING PRODUCTION SUMMARY | JULY 2023 | 37 Under the hypothetical Mid-Rise typology example, the supportable land value could be on the order of ~$149 per square foot or ~$6.5 MM per acre
If the land were contributed to the development, that value could conceivably be converted into affordability restrictions for a given number of units as follows (per $6.5 MM and per $1 MM in value shown):
This example can be read as, given contributed land and a residual land value of ~$6.5 MM per acre, an agreement to restrict 22 studios to very low income households would generally be economically equivalent to the cost of the land contributed
One caveat to consider with the potential production of affordable units via land value transfer is the potential to trigger prevailing wage laws that if applicable, could alter the economics of the overall project and serve to reduce or eliminate the potential capacity to support the affordable housing covenant As an alternative, land could be sold at market value, and funds used to support affordable housing on a different site

MARKET CONDITIONS & HOUSING PRODUCTION SUMMARY | JULY 2023 | 38 AB1486 / the Surplus Land Act (“SLA”) has implications on the sale or lease of property owned by the City if such property is subsequently utilized for residential uses (among other provisions; may not apply to Housing Authority owned property)
Generally, under the SLA any residential development of more than 10 units must set aside 15% of all residential units for low income households
As previously discussed, under the hypothetical Mid-Rise typology example, the supportable land value could be on the order of ~$6.5 MM per acre (~$149 / SF)
Assuming a density of 120 dwelling units per acre in this scenario, a residential project developed on land disposed of by the City under the SLA would be required to include a minimum of 18 units for low income households
Based on the values illustrated on the previous slide and a 25% studio / 50% one-bedroom / 25% two-bedroom unit mix, 18 units restricted to low income households would have a value or cost of approximately $5.5 million Thus, under this scenario, the requirements of the SLA would reduce the residual land value of City owned land from approximately ~$6.5 MM (~$149 / SF) per acre to approximately ~$1.0 MM (~$23 / SF)

AB2097 provides developers the option of not providing parking as part of a development under certain circumstances, and is likely applicable to the majority of properties within the Study Area Given this option, the City could allow new development to utilize public parking assets to park new development
Charge users a nominal amount for parking passes
Over time the value of the parking and cost for the passes may increase Given appropriate market fundamentals in the future, the existing surface parking lots could be replaced with structured parking as necessary, freeing the lots for additional development This may not yield immediate value to support affordable housing, however it preserves the assets until value increases Developers and lenders may desire to covenant the right to access parking City could structure agreements to ensure long term availability of parking conditioned on City’s right to increase charges in the future
Unlike the one-time conveyance of land in exchange for affordability covenants that may have a limited duration, this use of the assets would provide ongoing funding opportunities, and preserve flexibility TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT

OBSERVATIONS
Downtown Pomona has an authentic collection of land uses and the core elements required to be a vibrant urban hub
Real estate fundamentals suggest that residual land values are currently fairly low for owner occupied product, though slightly superior for multifamily product The addition of basic amenities / services (e.g., a small grocer, drug store) could fundamentally improve the quality of life for current and future residents within the Study Area The Metrolink Station is accretive and a beneficial amenity, but may not be a driver of current opportunities
Western University represents a major employer in the Study Area, an economic magnet, and an opportunity to serve as one prong of multiple elements required to foster investment in the Study Area
Pomona’s downtown is ripe for a resurgence
MARKET CONDITIONS & HOUSING PRODUCTION SUMMARY | JULY 2023 | 42 OBSERVATIONS (CONT’D)
There are a number of existing and proposed affordable housing developments in and proximate to the Study Area Many provide deep affordability / income restrictions There are also multiple moderate income restricted properties in the Study Area There is naturally occurring affordable housing for moderate income households in the Study Area The City should seek to ensure there is a balance of market residential options to ensure the economic health of the area over the long term through a diversity of housing options and price points Where appropriate, the use of low income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) funding models is an excellent tool to deliver affordable housing at and below the low income threshold Market feasibility of new development is currently heavily dependent on achieving higher rent / sales values per square foot by limiting unit sizes
This may change over time if the market rate segment can achieve rent growth The are few condominium / for sale housing options within the Study Area The inclusion of such options can sometimes serve the enhance community stewardship and participation For sale product may be viable given smaller unit sizes, especially if mortgage rates decrease from current levels MARKET CONDITIONS & HOUSING PRODUCTION SUMMARY | JULY 2023 | 43
FINDINGS
Consider fostering market driven redevelopment projects such as the 158 2nd Street project Can help prove the market for new high quality housing options Adds physical and economic activity in core areas that can serve to promote additional investment Consider short term suspension(s) of Art in Public Places fee and Inclusionary Housing requirements in targeted areas and monitor impact on development interest / activity
Continue pursuing the development of projects on parking lots currently being considered by City, however monitor density and clustering of income restricted units versus market units to ensure a balance and variety of housing options
Consider making additional lots available for development over time after these projects have stabilized Consider utilizing parking lot assets to support reduced or eliminated parking requirements for new developments
Allows City to monitor utilization over time and preserve assets for future needs City could implement a parking pass program; over time the value of the parking and cost for the passes may increase providing the City a revenue stream and future resource TCC POMONA HOUSING + PARKING STUDY - DRAFT

Kosmont SLA Extract
Surplus Land Act (SLA) Overview
Origin In a response to the massive housing shortage in California, the State has passed dozens of housing bills including AB 1486 (Surplus Lands Act) to address this crisis.
Purpose
The SLA gives affordable housing developers a right of first refusal on all public agency owned land in the State of California. Does not prevent agencies from ultimately selling or leasing property for other uses or fair market value.
Mandate
Public Agencies in California (e.g., cities, counties, special districts, school districts, etc.), with certain exceptions, must follow this mandate prior to selling or leasing any public agency owned real estate.
Process
The Surplus Lands Act requires an up to 150‐day request for proposal/bid process to either select or reject an affordable housing project/proposals. Once rejected, the property can be sold or leased to broader market.

The New World of the Surplus Land Act (SLA)
The Old Days:
Want to sell or lease a City property? Just put it out for an RFP/Q The New World of SLA:
The Surplus Land Act requires public agencies to first go through a process of offering property to affordable housing developers before pursuing other opportunities.
Opportunity:
Public Agencies can and should look at SLA as an opportunity to explore a variety of strategies to better utilize the value of their properties:
• Performance‐based leases / ground leases
• Monetizing assets (such as parking garages, civic centers) • Selling property to private sector – includes lease‐back strategies, continued operation of existing use, redevelopment into new uses

SLA Compels Agencies to look at Property Assets Strategically The SLA has a profound impact on a public agency’s decision‐making process to sell or lease public‐private projects across the State. Agencies must act proactively and strategically to get the most out of their property assets.

1) Know Your Portfolio 2) Know Your Priorities 3) Know Your Strategies Understanding your agency’s property
portfolio is key
Perform due diligence and prioritize
potential portfolio of properties
contemplated for disposition and/or
development
Consider the variety of economic
development priorities that you can
use your properties to pursue:
• Affordable housing
• Civic/Public amenity purposes
• In conjunction with private projects
• Other uses
Do you want to keep the property for
public use or put into private service?
Make a strategic determination of
which properties to keep or sell.
Agencies can use a variety of strategies
to increase market/reuse value of its
land & comply with the SLA
Be sure to consider CEQA /
Entitlements & RHNA
Align these property strategies with
other economic development tools /
approaches
