Station. BART, the City, the County, Caltrans, AC Transit and MM cooperated on a <br />community oriented process to create the Bay Fair BART Station Transit -Oriented <br />Development and Access Plan ("TOD and Access Plan"), which was completed in March <br />2007. <br />E. In 2008, BART received a Regional Measure 2 Safe Routes to Transit (SR2T) grant from the <br />Metropolitan Transportation Commission ("MTC') to create a plan focusing on improving <br />personal safety and security in and around the Bay Fair BART Station ("SR2T Plan"). The <br />SR2T Plan, which was completed in 2009, recommended and prioritized capital projects for <br />both short-term and long-term implementation, with some improvements to be incorporated <br />in future development. Several recommendations in the SR2T Plan have been implemented. <br />F. In May 2014, MTC awarded the City an MTC Priority Development Area ("PDA") Planning <br />Grant ("PDA Grant") in the amount of $440,000, with the understanding that the City would <br />contribute $50,000 (including $10,000 in in-kind City staff hours), and BART and MM <br />would each contribute $15,000 in matching funds. The County is also contributing $12,000 <br />of in-kind staff time to this project for a total local match amount of $92,000. Key local <br />partners, and Parties to this agreement, working with the City towards the successful <br />implementation of a Specific Plan under the PDA Grant are BART, MM, and the County. In <br />addition to the Parties to this MOU, AC Transit and the Alameda County Transportation <br />Commission ("ACTC") are key local partners working with the City towards successful <br />implementation of a Specific Plan under the PDA Grant. <br />G. For purposes of this MOU, the "Project Area" is defined as generally the area bounded by <br />East 14th St. to the north, the BART tracks and Coelho Drive to the south, Hesperian Blvd. <br />to the west and Bayfair Drive to the east (see Exhibit A). <br />H. The general objectives identified for the Specific Plan are as follows: <br />• Articulate and quantify the fixture potential of the Bay Fair Transit Village area to <br />transform it into a vibrant TOD area. <br />• Develop comprehensive land use policies with a detailed land use map and circulation <br />and access plan. <br />• Enhance greater connectivity to the Bay Fair BART Station and nearby AC Transit <br />stops. <br />• Complete a detailed analysis of City and County selected opportunity sites to provide <br />more specific guidance for future development. <br />• Develop a program for implementing the land use policies such as supportive zoning <br />changes, development standards, design guidelines, parking strategies, a marketing <br />program, and other viable development incentives. <br />72478v1 <br />
