Fee: Housing Mitigation Fee / Housing Impact Fee
Fee Description: Fees paid by developers for specified projec ts that generate demand for
affordable housing including: 1) nonresidential development and 2) housing development approved for a fee in lieu of the Below Market Rate (BMR) unit requirement or paying a fee for a partial BMR unit. (Former Sunnyvale Municipal Code Section 19.22.035 and Current Chapter 19.75, Chapter 19.67 and Chapter 19.77)
Purpose of Fee: Housing Mitigation Fees (former Sunnyvale Municipal Code Section 19.22.035) were previously collected from developers of high-intensity industrial development. In 2015, the City Council repealed Section 19.22.035 and replaced it with SMC Chapter 19.75, which imposes a Housing Impact Fee on nonresidential construction. Since 1980, the City has had inclusionary affordable housing requirements (BMR units) for both ownership and rental developments (formerly SMC Chapter 19.88). The original municipal code provisions allowed in-lieu fees for developments of fewer than 20 units. The municipal code requirements for BMR units has been amended several times (e.g. 1991, 1992, 2003, 2012, 2019, 2021, 2025) including: increasing the percent of BMR units, enabling in lieu fees on all developments with City Council approval Council approval; removing BMR requirements for rental developments after a 2009 court decision that held that the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act pre-empts inclusionary housing requirements for residential rental units; adding an Housing Mitigation Fee for rental housing; reinstating BMR requirements (after State law enabled this in 2017) for rental housing that included options for in lieu fees with City Council approval. 2025, 3239-25 Modified requirements fo r qualifying retail preservation projects

Description of Projects:
10503 Local Housing/ Projects and Programs
This operational function provides an operational budget to support staff activities. This project is ongoing and has no specific start/end date.
826530 County-Wide Homeless Count
This project funds the City's share of conducting a biennial countywide homeless count and survey.
This homeless count and survey is a federally mandated initiative for Santa Clara County. As agreed, each jurisdiction within the County shall contribute a pro rata share of the survey costs based on its population. The count is conducted in January of every odd year, and the County hires a consultant to prepare the final report and compile all data. Once published, the report provides background information for each City to assist with homeless programs, but primarily serves as a funding tool for the County's federally funded programs. This project is ongoing and has no specific end date.
836490 - 1171 Sonora Court Predevelopment of Affordable Housing 1171 Sonora Court is a proposed 172-unit affordable rental housing project developed by MidPen Housing. 170 units will be affordable to lower-income households, with 34 designated for formerly unhoused residents. Two units will be unrestricted managers' units. The total development cost for the project is approximately $183 million.
In 2022, the City Council approved a $500,000 funding award for predevelopment activities through the City's 2022 Notice of Funding Availability (RTC 22-0973). The City funded this award using Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds. These funds were used to begin architectural plans for planning entitlements.
In 2024, the City Council approved an additional funding award to purchase the 1.3-acre 1171 Sonora Court property for $12,500,000 and to provide additional predevelopment funds of $1,533,000 as part of the City's 2024 Notice of Funding Availability (RTC 24-0863). The City will purchase the property from MidPen and enter into a long-term ground lease with MidPen upon commencement of construction. Predevelopment funds will be used to complete architectural and design drawings and to fund property holding costs. These funds will allow MidPen to pursue additional financing for the project and secure planning entitlements.

Fee: Sense of Place Fee
Fee Description: Fees paid by developers in areas where planned public improvements exceed the requirements of other areas of the City, including those with special land use or public improvement plans.
Purpose of Fee: The City Council has adopted Sense of Place Fees for certain geographic regions of the City to fund streetscape and other improvements that will encourage pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit use. These improvements are necessary to mitigate the impact of higher intensity development on the surrounding environment that results from increased population and traffic.

Fee: Transportation Impact Fee
Fee Description: Fees adopted pursuant to the Transportation Strategic Pr ogram to
fund major transportation projects necessary to support land use plans. (Sunnyvale Municipal Code, Chapter 3.50)
Purpose of Fee: Transportation impact fees are collected from developers of projects that contribute to traffic to the local roadway system at levels defined as significant per the criteria of the City of Sunnyvale General Plan and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Congestion Management Program Transportation Impact Analysis Program. Funds are used for projects identified in the Sunnyvale General Plan Land Use and Transportation Element, adopted November 11, 1997, as required to maintain roadway intersection levels of service per City General Plan policy. Projects to improve the regional transportation system are identified through the City’s Resource Allocation Plan process and are listed in the Resource Allocation Plan. These public improvements require various funding sources in addition to development impact fees, including federal, state, and regional apportionments and/or grant funding. Such funds are budgeted to the extent they can be reasonably projected. Sunnyvale has adopted a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that provides the approximate location, estimated cost, and status of each proposed capital project, which is available to the public upon request and posted on the City's website. In addition, the City adopts the CIP as a component of its annual budget process, which is subject to extensive public input and public hearings.

Description of Projects:
823911 Bernardo Avenue Caltrain Under-crossing
This project provides funding for the design and construction of the Bernardo Avenue Caltrain Undercrossing. The undercrossing will provide a bicycle and pedestrian connection on Bernardo Avenue, near Evelyn Avenue and Central Expressway, under the Caltrain tracks. The undercrossing will be important for bicycle and pedestrian circulation, which needs improvement in the western part of the city, and will also provide a viable connection to the northern part of the City, where many employers and high-density residential developments are located. This project is a partnership with the City of Mountain View. The City’s Environmental phase is complete; however, Caltrain is on hold due to the government shutdown. Construction is planned in 2027.
832440 - Mary Avenue Overcrossing Environmental Impact Report The project will complete the environmental impact report (EIR) for the Mary Avenue Overcrossing between the intersection of Mary Avenue and Almanor Avenue to the intersection of 11 th Avenue and
E Street. The overcrossing will span Routes 101 and 237. The project provides multimodal connectivity to support the level and type of development envisioned in the Moffett Park Specific Plan. The project will complete traffic analyses and environmental impact review associated with four project options including:
ꞏ A four-lane Mary Avenue with dedicated bike lanes and sidewalks ꞏ A two-lane Mary Avenue with enhanced bike lanes and sidewalks ꞏ A bicycle and pedestrian crossing
ꞏ Removal of the Mary Avenue overcrossing from the General Plan Funds for this project are being used for the Environmental Clearance Phase and are expected to be completed in FY 2025/26. Construction is included in a different project.
832910 - Bernardo Avenue Bicycle Undercrossing Environmental Analysis The Bernardo Avenue Undercrossing environmental analysis project will provide environmental clearance to allow construction of the undercrossing at a later date. The undercrossing will provide a bicycle and pedestrian connection on Bernardo Avenue, near Evelyn Avenue and Central Expressway, under the Caltrain tracks and Central Expressway. The City’s environmental review is complete, and Caltrain is delayed due to the government shutdown. The project is expected to be completed in FY 2025/26. Construction is included in a different project.

832920 East Sunnyvale Area Transportation Improvements
The East Sunnyvale Area Transportation Improvements project includes improvements in the East Sunnyvale Area Sense of Place (south of Highway 101 and west of Lawrence Expressway). All improvements are located in the East Sunnyvale Area as defined in the plan and include bicycle lanes and enhancements, transit stop upgrades, crosswalk installation and enhancements, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps, reduced curb radii at intersections, and bike box signal modifications. The project was necessary to advance the goals of the East Sunnyvale Area Sense of Place Plan and will encourage re-development as described in the plan. This project further provided the transportation upgrades listed in the plan for a synergistic transportation system for the area. The project began May 2023 and was completed in June 2025.
832970 Peery Park Area Transportation Improvements
The project scope has narrowed to include new sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)- compliant curb ramps, and improvements to streetlighting, landscaping, and streets in the Peery Park Specific Plan for Potrero Avenue between Central Expressway and Maude Avenue. Since the plan was recently adopted, a few improvements have been implemented. However, new developments in the area will include improvements in compliance with the plan. This project will also provide the transportation upgrades listed in the plan to create a synergistic transportation system in the plan area.
Bike lanes will be installed with buffers where possible and will also feature colored pavement at conflict areas. Transit stops will be upgraded to provide more amenities for existing transit users and attract new transit riders. Sidewalks will be installed along two main corridors in the area to provide a safer walking route for pedestrians. Curb ramps and traffic signals will be upgraded to ADA standards and facilitate safe and efficient movement of all modes of transportation.
The project design was completed in mid-2023. Construction is underway and will be completed in FY 2025/26.
833000 - Sunnyvale SNAIL Neighborhood Improvements – ATP In 2016, Sunnyvale was awarded an Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant in the amount of $4,847,000 for the environmental, design, and construction phases for implementing Active Transportation Improvements in the Sunnyvale’s Sunnyvale Neighbors of Arbor including La Linda (SNAIL) and San Miguel neighborhoods. The original scope focused on improvements that are on the perimeters of Sunnyvale’s SNAIL and San Miguel neighborhoods and intended to improve safety and expand connectivity to nearby schools and other destinations. However, after engaging with the community, and performing various studies, the City decided to prioritize providing active transportation improvements closer to the schools.
In March 2020, City submitted a Request of Scope Change to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Caltrans and California Transportation Commission (CTC) to revise the scope to include improvements in the immediate vicinity of the two schools. The City believed that these improvements would benefit more active transportation users. The request was reviewed and approved by CTC at its December 2020 meeting. The revised project installed curb extensions, high visibility crosswalks, advance yield markings, raised crosswalks, speed feedback signs and HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crosswalk) beacons, upgraded school path to current standards, enhanced bike lanes, and created new bike routes within SNAIL and San Miguel neighborhoods. Design was ATTACHMENT 2

completed in FY 2022/23, and construction began FY 2023/24. Project completion is expected in Fall 2025.
833010 – Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Improvements
The project will implement bike and pedestrian improvements at selected locations throughout the City in accordance with the City's Active Transportation Plan, which was adopted in 2020. The project will install improvements such as bicycle facilities, crosswalks, quick-build safety projects, green bike lanes, bike boxes, curb extensions, and ADA-compliant curb ramps throughout the city.
This project is ongoing and has no specific start/end date.
833020 - Future Traffic Signal Construction
This project provides funding for new traffic signals and their communications systems. The locations of these signal improvements are often determined by safety and operational analyses of the intersections, community input, or changes in traffic conditions. This project is ongoing and has no specific start/end date.
833850 - Sunnyvale Safe Routes to School Improvements
At selected locations near Bishop Elementary School, the project installed bike lanes, high-visibility crosswalks, raised or paved crosswalks, and curb extensions. New bike lanes on Maude Avenue between Pastoria Avenue and Wolfe Road will improve safety and connect surrounding neighborhoods to Bishop Elementary School and other destinations like Fair Oaks Park, Sunnyvale High, and the commercial corridor on Mathilda Avenue. Despite this, new bikeway barriers will remain for students travelling along Sunnyvale Avenue. Therefore, this project considered a variety of improvements including removing slip lanes where possible to eliminate conflicts and reducing crossing distances, upgrading traffic signals, and installing ADA-compliant pedestrian signals, infrared bike detection systems, green bike boxes, high visibility crosswalks, and installation of a raised crosswalk in front of the school. In addition to the improvements, the project provided bicycle and pedestrian education programs. Construction started in March 1, 2023 and was completed June 2025.
835630 - Stevens Creek Trail Extension (W. Remington Ave to W. Fremont Ave) The Stevens Creek Trail was originally planned to extend approximately five miles from the Bay Trail at Shoreline Park to McClellan Ranch Preserve in Cupertino. There is an existing gap from Dale Avenue/Heatherstone Way in Mountain View to McClellan Road in Cupertino. This gap is within the City of Sunnyvale from Remington Drive to Homestead Road. The project will perform environmental studies and preliminary design for the trail extension from Remington Drive to Fremont Avenue. At the end of this project scope, the trail extension will be environmentally cleared and enter into final design. The project has been on hold due to a budget shortfall. After a budget solution is identified and reviewed by Council, design is anticipated to restart in early 2026.
Construction is expected to start in 2029, and the planned completion has been pushed out to FY 30/31.
836040 - East Channel Trail Study
The East Channel Trail Study will evaluate a multi-use trail along the length of the East Channel within Sunnyvale from Homestead Road to the Bay Trail. This study will evaluate existing ATTACHMENT 2

conditions, identify design constraints, determine trail alignment options, and evaluate alternatives at the crossings of local ro
adways. The project recommendations will include safety improvements for bicycles and pedestrians along the length of the trail. This project will provide a guidance document that staff can build upon for the application of grants and inclusion into future design and construction projects. Upon completion, the East Channel Trail will enhance the walkability within the City and expand active transportation opportunities.
