File Number: 25-316 the goals of Plan Bay Area 2050, the region’s long-range plan for transportation, housing, the economy and the environment. The TOC Policy applies to land within a half-mile radius of existing and planned fixed-guideway transit stops and stations. In San Leandro, the TOC Policy applies to the areas around the Bay Fair BART Station, the San Leandro BART Station and the City’s BRT corridor along E. 14th Street. Compliance with TOC Policy is voluntary, but MTC will prioritize discretionary funding, including One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) funds to jurisdictions that comply with the TOC Policy. The OBAG program is a significant source of funding for transportation infrastructure projects in the region. The most recent round of OBAG (OBAG 3) included more than $750 million in transportation infrastructure funding. A call for projects for the next round of funding (OBAG 4) is anticipated in 2026. Local Implementation of TOC Policy In order to be deemed compliant with the TOC Policy, jurisdictions must satisfy a series of requirements in each of the four policy areas: 1.Minimum residential and commercial office densities for new development. 2.Affordable housing production, preservation and protection, and stabilizing businesses to prevent displacement. 3.Parking management. 4.Transit station access and circulation. Staff is currently working towards achieving compliance with the TOC Policy in all four policy areas. The City has engaged a transportation consultant to develop recommended Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements for new development and amendments to the City’s parking regulations to support compliance with parking management requirements. Staff is analyzing requirements related to commercial office and residential densities to prepare recommended Zoning Code amendments, as needed, to support compliance. Staff is also reviewing and documenting affordable housing-related policies. The $265,000 Technical Assistance Grant would support compliance with the station and access, and circulation requirements of the TOC Policy. Previous Actions In 2023, the City applied for and received a $1.8 million grant from MTC to prepare a Development Plan and amendments to the Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan to facilitate transformative development in the Bay Fair TOD area. As part of that award, the City committed to work towards achieving compliance with TOC Policy through the project. Compliance with the TOC Policy will be crucial to redevelopment in the Bay Fair TOD area as it will also enable the City to remain competitive for regional infrastructure investments that are needed to catalyze development in the area. Fiscal Impacts There is no impact on the General Fund as there is no required local match for the TOC Policy Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/4/2025
