December 3, 2018 <br />Planning Commission <br />City of San Leandro <br />845 E. 14th Street <br />San Leandro, CA 94577 <br />Dear Chair Pon and Commissioners, <br />We are pleased to announce that the Eden Realty project at 1388 Bancroft <br />Avenue qualifies for GreenTRIP Certification based on the current design and <br />amenities dated June 24, 2018. <br /> <br />Our evaluation demonstrates that this project meets GreenTRIP standards <br />for the Town Center place type with daily household driving projected to be <br />no more than 35 daily vehicle miles driven per household, a parking ratio of <br />1.5 spaces per unit or less, and the provision of at least one traffic reduction <br />strategy. The project meets GreenTRIP bicycle parking standards with at least <br />one secured bicycle parking space per unit, and guest bicycle parking for at <br />least 20% of units. The project will also participate in GreenTRIP’s Transportation <br />and Parking Survey for annual monitoring. Upon approval of these conditions, <br />this project will join an esteemed group of certified projects with low traffic and <br />excellent transportation amenities. <br />Since 1997, TransForm has been working for world class public transportation <br />and walkable communities in the Bay Area and beyond. In 2008, TransForm <br />launched GreenTRIP, a certification program for new residential development, <br />focused on Traffic Reduction and Innovative Parking. GreenTRIP certifies <br />projects that will allow new residents to drive less while increasing their mobility <br />in a variety of ways. When residents have access to affordable homes close to <br />services, jobs and transit, and developments are designed with traffic reduction <br />and innovative parking, there are benefits for all: <br />• Increased household transportation savings. <br />• Economic support for locally serving businesses. <br />• Less freeway traffic and fewer vehicle collisions. <br />• Improved public health through increased walking and better air quality. <br />• Greater demand and support of transit services. <br />• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions, supporting compliance with SB375 and AB32. <br />This project meets the GreenTRIP Certification Standards for the “Town Center” <br />place type. The Place Type is determined according to definitions set forth by <br />the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) Station Area Planning <br />Manual, 2007. GreenTRIP Certification standards are designed according to <br />these Place Types and tailored to create a feasible yet innovative standard. <br />TRANSFORM | 436 14th Street, Suite 600 Oakland, CA 94612 www.TransFormCA.org 510.740.3150 TRIPGreen <br />GreenTRIP <br />ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />Marcial ChaoPyatok Architects <br />Elizabeth DeakinUniversity of California Berkeley <br />Joe DiStefanoCalthorpe Associates <br />Adam Garcia Greenbelt Alliance <br />David Garcia Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley <br />Curt JohansenKings River Community Partners, LLC <br />Alison KirkBay Area Air Quality Management District <br />Valerie KnepperMetropolitan Transportation Commission (Retired) <br />Richard LeeTransportation Choices for Sustainable Communities <br />Todd LitmanVictoria Transport Policy Institute <br />Kathleen LivermoreFormer, City of Alameda Pilar Lorenzana-CampoSV@Home <br />Adam Millard-BallUniversity of CaliforniaSanta Cruz <br />John MoonFederal Reserve Bank of San Francisco <br />Natalie SandovalUrban Land Institute San Francisco <br />Krute SingaMetropolitan Transportation Commission <br />Robert SwierkSanta Clara ValleyTransportation Authority <br />Abby Thorne-LymanBay Area Rapid Transit <br />Jeffrey TumlinNelson\Nygaard <br />Aaron WelchRaimi + Associates <br />Kate WhiteCalifornia State Transportation Agency <br />Jeff WoodThe Overhead Wire
