October 2024 TOC Policy Requirements The TOC Policy focuses on the core elements of land use density, affordable housing, parking management, and complete streets/multimodal access to implement Plan Bay Area 2050 strategies. 1. Minimum residential and commercial office densities for new development: • On average, the minimum density for parcels in the ½-mile TOC area must exceed a threshold determined by the TOC area’s Transit Tier. • If a jurisdiction adopts a maximum density for parcels in the ½-mile TOC area, on average, the maximum density must exceed a threshold determined by the TOC area’s Transit Tier. • A jurisdiction is not required to zone for a particular land use in the TOC area. • Only areas where residential uses are allowed are included in residential density calculations, and only zoning districts that allow commercial office land uses as a primary use are included in commercial office density calculations. • Parcels with existing dwelling units can be excluded from the residential and commercial office density calculations. 2. Policies for affordable housing and commercial stabilization: • A jurisdiction must adopt at least two policies for each of the “3Ps” of affordable housing (production, preservation, protection) and at least one policy for commercial stabilization. • A jurisdiction chooses policies that best meet local needs from a menu of options. • Policies must apply in TOC areas, but a jurisdiction may choose to apply them beyond the TOC area(s), including jurisdiction wide. 3. Parking management: • No minimum parking requirements allowed in most Transit Tiers for new residential or commercial development. • Parking maximums for new residential and general/neighborhood commercial uses vary by Transit Tier. • Requirements for bicycle, shared, and unbundled parking as well as Transportation Demand Management (TDM)/curb management. 4. Transit station access and circulation: • Adopt policies/guidelines that comply with Complete Streets Policy. • Prioritize implementation of Active Transportation Plan and/or relevant Community Based Transportation Plans within TOC station area. • Complete an access gap analysis and accompanying capital and/or service improvement program. • Identify opportunities for Mobility Hub planning and implementation. See MTC’s TOC Policy Administrative Guidance for more information on requirements and the process and required documentation for confirming compliance.
