The following describes how 1388 Bancroft Avenue meets the criteria for Standard Certification: <br />1. This project is projected to create less than 35 miles/household/day. <br />Using a model created by the California Air Resources Board for estimating greenhouse gas <br />emissions, we project that future residents in this project will drive at most 32 miles per day <br />per household, or 36% less than the Bay Area regional average. The primary reasons for <br />reduced driving are the project’s density, location, and proximity to transit. <br />2. This project will not exceed more than 1.5 residential parking spaces per unit and will provide secured and protected bicycle parking spaces on-site. <br />The conceptual design meets this standard by proposing 55 residential parking spaces for <br />45 units, or 1.2 spaces per unit. GreenTRIP parking ratios do not include the five parking <br />on-street parking spaces that residents may use. Fewer spaces provided for parking allow <br />more resources to be spent on other community amenities. The project will also include <br />48 secured bicycle parking spaces and 12 guest bicycle parking spaces, which exceeds our <br />requirements of 1.0 ratio for long-term and 0.2 ratio for short-term bicycle parking. <br />3. This project will provide at least 1 of 3 Traffic Reduction Strategies for 40 years (Transit <br />Passes, Carshare Memberships, and/or Unbundled Parking). <br />Eden Realty will provide 100% unbundled parking, which separates the cost of parking from rent. Therefore, residents who do not have vehicles will save money by not having to pay for a parking space that they are not using. <br />Please refer to the attached 2-page Project Evaluation Report for a summary of the project’s <br />benefits. You may also view Certification guidelines here: bit.ly/GreenTRIPHowToGuide <br />Since this project is still going through entitlement, we are awarding a conditional GreenTRIP <br />Certification. We will award a full certification upon city approval of final entitlements, if those <br />entitlements include the following project characteristics: <br /> 1. Build no more than 1.5 parking spaces per unit. <br /> 2. Install no fewer than one secured residential bike parking space per unit. <br /> 3. Install publicly accessible guest bike parking spaces numbered at no fewer than 20% of <br /> units. <br /> 4. Provide one traffic reduction strategy per the How-to-Guide. <br />Upon approval of these conditions, this project will join an esteemed group of GreenTRIP-certified <br />projects with low traffic and excellent transportation amenities.
