MEMORANDUM Date: To: From: Re: May 20, 2025 Gerry Beaudin, City Manager Ellen Clark, Director of Community Development Shweta Bonn, Senior Planner MTC-ABAG Transit Oriented Community Policy: Outline and Initial Evaluation Within Pleasanton, the MTC-ABAG Transit-Oriented Communities Policy conceptually applies to areas within one half-mile of the two BART stations and the ACE train station. Exhibit A shows the properties within one half-mile of each of these three stations, based on the measurement method prescribed in MTC-ABAG’s administrative guidance. The TOC policy classifies different types of transit stops/stations based on frequency/type of transit service, with the two BART Stations classified as “Tier 3” stations and the ACE Station as a “Tier 4” station. These tiers are used to specific target standards around elements such as density/intensity of development, and minimum and maximum parking ratios/requirements. The TOC policy and related administrative guidance are structured around four key topics or themes, within which compliance must be demonstrated for the half-mile area to retain funding eligibility: •Minimum densities for new residential and commercial office development •Affordable housing production, preservation, protection, and anti-displacement and stabilization •Parking management •Station access and circulation In addition to tiered density/intensity and parking standards, the policy offers, in several areas, a “menu” of strategies and programs that can be deployed to meet key objectives of the program. The following provides an initial evaluation of implications for Pleasanton with respect to future compliance, within each of the above four topic areas. This evaluation is based on the adopted MTC: Administrative Guidance, TOC Policy document, dated May 5, 2025. ATTACHMENT 2 Page 148 of 682
