LETTER TO ABAG AND MTC ON DRAFT PLAN BAY AREA 2040 AND EIR

REQUEST Consider whether to send a letter to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) commenting on the Draft Bay Area 2040 and its associated environmental impact report. BACKGROUND In 2008, the State adopted SB 375, which requires that Regional Transportation Plans, which allocate funding for transportation projects, include a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) that would coordinate regional land use and transportation planning with a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector by 7% by 2020 and 15% by 2035.

In July 2013, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and ABAG adopted Plan Bay Area (PBA) 2013 as the Bay Area’s first Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. The major policy intent of PBA 2013 was to incentivize cities to self-designate Priority Development Areas (PDAs) for higher-intensity infill development near major transit lines. In exchange for planning for higher residential densities or commercial intensities, these jurisdictions would receive the lion share of discretionary transportation funding.

State law requires that the RTP/SCS must be updated every four years. In spring 2015, MTC and ABAG initiated a limited update of Plan Bay Area, called PBA 2040. This update will entail updated growth projections both to reflect the uptick in the economy and to better align ABAG’s forecasts with those of the Department of Finance, which was a point of contention in the previous PBA 2013.

Growth Projections As with most long-range planning exercises, PBA 2040 included the preparation of alternative regional growth scenarios which either focused or dispersed growth to various locales in the Bay Area, and tested various types and locations of transportation improvements to analyze the different impacts of these alternative visions of growth to the year 2040.

In late 2015, ABAG forwarded “first round” draft projections of households and jobs by jurisdiction and asked for comments from cities and counties. On February 2, 2016 the City Council received a presentation from ABAG and City staff comparing the draft ABAG projections with those being utilized for the City’s General Plan update. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council supported sending a letter to ABAG commenting that the lower end of the projected range of jobs and households was generally consistent with those being estimated by the City. The letter was sent on February 8, 2016 (see Attachment 1).

On June 4, 2016 ABAG and MTC hosted a workshop in Marin on Plan Bay Area 2040, and at the meeting distributed a table of revised projected jobs and households by jurisdiction for each of three future growth scenarios being evaluated (Main Streets: more scattered, decentralized growth; Connected Neighborhoods: Focused growth in Priority Development Areas along transit routes; Big Cities: focused growth in San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose).

In response to the projections issued in June, the City Council authorized a comment letter at their meeting of July 12, 2016, again stating that the jobs projections significantly exceeded previous ABAG assumptions and the City’s recently prepared General Plan projections (see Attachment 2).

On August 30, 2016, ABAG and MTC released their “Preferred Scenario” household and jobs projections by jurisdiction (see Attachment 3). This scenario sought to maximize land use patterns and transportation improvements to meet the greatest number of project goals (e.g., greenhouse gas reduction, affordable housing, open space preservation, congestion, etc.). The City Council authorized a comment letter at their meeting of October 11, 2016 expressing concerns over the recalibration of housing and jobs numbers assumed to have existed in 2010, which resulted in an increase of nearly 6,000 jobs to the 2010 base (see Exhibit 3). The City did not, however, object to the proposed housing and jobs projections for Novato, since both were lower than the original Plan Bay Area. ABAG and MTC adopted the final Preferred Scenario for EIR analysis in late November.

Draft PBA 2040 attempts to accommodate 666,000 new households and 668,000 new jobs by the year 2040, and distribute $303 billion in transportation funds. 46% of household growth are projected to occur in the “Big 3 Cities” of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, and 77% of new households in PDAs. Only 1% of new household growth in the Bay Area is projected to occur in Marin County (see Attachment 4). 43% of job growth is projected in the Big 3 Cities and 55% in PDAs. Again, only 1% of new job growth is projected in Marin County (see Attachment 5).

Novato is projected to increase by only 900 households through 2040 – an increase of about 40 dwellings per year. Employment increases in Novato are projected at 1,900 new jobs by 2040. Both projections are well less than 2013 Plan Bay Area. Household projections have decreased from 1,170 to 900 new households, a 77% decrease from the previous Plan Bay Area. Job projections for Novato have decreased from 3,500 jobs to 1,900 new jobs by 2040, a 54% decrease.

A comparison of the Draft PBA 2040 jobs and households projections by Marin jurisdiction with PBA 2013 can be found in Attachment 6.

Transportation Investment Strategy The “Preferred Scenario” also includes a proposed regional transportation investment strategy. Regional spending priorities largely continues the overall priorities from PBA 2013 which are largely focused on a “fix it first” priority for transit and roads, followed by supporting focused

growth and protecting climate. In the face of substantial transportation needs, funding existing transit operations is the largest single investment for the region over the next 24 years. Regionally, $303B is expected to be available for transportation operations, maintenance and improvements through the year 2040. Of this, half will go to maintaining and operating existing transportation facilities and service providers. Only 10%, about $30B, will be available over the next 23 years for expansion of transit or roadway facilities and services.

The projects submitted by the Transportation Authority of Marin Board in May 2016 for consideration in Plan Bay Area 2040 are all included in the Draft PBA 2040. Over the 25-year plan funding, $17M is included for widening of Novato Boulevard between Diablo and Grant, $42 M for extending SMART to Larkspur and $136M for U.S. 101 widening between Marin and Sonoma counties. A copy of the proposed Plan Bay Area 2040 Transportation Project List for Marin is attached as Exhibit 7.

PBA 2040 Performance The Draft EIR for PBA 2040 finds that of 78 impact areas analyzed (evaluating regional growth consequences over the next 23 years at a macro level), 40 were identified as being insignificant with mitigation, and 38 were found significant and unavoidable. The proposed PBA 2040, was found to be preferable to the No Project alternative (allowing growth to occur according to individual general plans, without regional coordination and incentivizing growth towards existing transit) and the Main Streets alternative that would allocate more growth to suburban downtowns. The Big Cities alternative of locating even more growth than planned in the 3 “big cities” of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, had less significant impacts than the proposed PBA 2040.

The Sustainable Communities Strategy for the Bay Area has two principal objectives (achieving the mandated greenhouse gas reduction of 15% by 2035 and accommodating all needed housing growth to compensate job growth within the 9 Bay Area counties) and 11 voluntary objectives. The Draft Plan achieves or moves in the right direction on 9 of these, but moves in the wrong direction on four, including housing/transportation affordability and displacement of lower income residents.

To address the continuing challenges of implementing this regional strategy of encouraging housing growth near transit and jobs and associating discretionary transportation funds to areas accepting more growth, the Draft Plan includes Action Plans in 3 areas: Housing Production, Preservation and Protection, Economic Development and Resilience. The elements of these 3 action plans are included as Attachments 8, 9 and 10. In the area of housing affordability, the major actions include the CASA blue-ribbon committee on affordable housing that will recommend a regional funding strategy to increase subsidies for affordable housing, possibly through a regional tax. Another strategy will be to further link discretionary transportation, infrastructure and planning grants to actual housing production, not just having a designated Priority Development Area. In the area of Resilience to the effects of climate change, there is concern that many PDAs and transit facilities are in areas that will be subject to sea level rise. The Action Plan includes a proposal for a more regional governance structure to coordinate activities of many state and regional agencies around planning for and mitigation sea level rise.

February 8, 2016 Miriam Chion Planning & Research Director Association of Bay Area Governments 101 8th Street Oakland, CA 94607 Dear Ms. Chion:

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the Plan Bay Area 2040 draft preliminary growth projections for Novato. We greatly appreciate the need for thoughtful planning on how to accommodate future growth, particularly as the Bay Area’s economy is expanding rapidly and housing costs continue to escalate.

The City of Novato is located 25 miles north of San Francisco. Most of our residents work in Novato (34%) or in other communities in Marin County (31%).1 The City has been somewhat removed from the impacts of the booming technology industry, which are most clearly being experienced in San Francisco, the Peninsula and the South Bay communities. Although we have seen asking rents increase nearly 9% over the last year and median single family home prices increase almost 7%, Novato’s housing costs have not risen as dramatically as they have in San Francisco and in the southern Marin communities.2, 3

Novato remains the most affordable community in Marin County in which to rent or purchase a home.

While our unemployment rate is low (3.2%) and our economy continues to improve, we still have significant retail vacancies and an office vacancy rate of 23%.4, 5 The economy is good in Novato, but not expanding rapidly, due in part to the City’s location and demographics. The City has embarked on a marketing campaign to attract tech companies, particularly in the bio/life sciences industry, to Novato in order to provide higher-paying jobs that enable people to both work and live in our community. While we have had some successes, it is too early to determine if demand for new office space will ultimately justify development of the new office and R&D space included in our growth forecasts below.

The median age of our residents is 44.1 years, slightly lower than Marin County’s average age of 45.1 years.6 The Department of Finance projects that the Marin County population will continue to age over the next 25 years, with the senior cohort increasing its share of the overall population from 17% in 2010 to 27% in 2030 and 26% in 2040, before finally receding to more historic norms.7 We expect a similar pattern in Novato, with the senior cohort increasing from 16% to 25% of the population by 2040.

As a result, we project modest growth in Novato that reflects the aging population. Over the next 25 years, we expect homes that are currently housing empty nesters will slowly turn over to families with school-age children, and that our existing housing stock will be able to absorb many of the new residents in the process. Approximately 68% of our existing housing stock has 3 or more bedrooms, but only 37% of our existing households have 3 or more persons, indicating that many of our residents are living in houses that are larger than they need.8 We expect this imbalance to correct itself as new, higher-paying job

Update of the City’s General Plan

Over the past 2 ½ years the City has been studying areas that are good candidates for revitalization and/or vacant infill sites that can accommodate new or additional growth. This process included a comprehensive inventory of all unimproved parcels that are currently designated for commercial or multi-family use. This effort identified just 21 vacant commercial and multi-family sites throughout the City, ranging in size from 0.14 to 39 acres, with a median parcel size of 1.85 acres. The City is currently considering land use changes for some of these parcels. However, since only 2.4% of Novato’s land is designated for commercial or mixed-use, and only 5% is designated for business or industrial land use, the City is only considering shifting land use designations within these categories. Retaining existing land zoned for commercial and business/professional office use remains a City priority.

The City’s planning process has focused on four specific areas, as described below.

North, North Redwood Boulevard Corridor, extending north of San Marin Drive to the City’s northerly boundary with Olompali State Park. The mile-long corridor contains most of the City’s remaining vacant commercially zoned land as well as the new San Marin SMART rail station. The centerpiece of development in the area on the eastern slope of Mount Burdell is the world-renowned Buck Institute for Research on Aging. At the southern end of the study area, along San Marin Drive, is the 711,000 square-foot office complex known by its former principal tenant, Fireman’s Fund. The City is considering resdesignating and rezoning three parcels from Light Industrial/Office to Business/Professional Office in order to support the community’s vision for the area as a life sciences industry hub.

North Redwood Boulevard Corridor is a 20-acre area, bounded by Olive Avenue to the south and San Marin Drive to the north. The area is considered one of the last major re-developable areas in Marin County, and with its proximity to Highway 101and the new North Novato SMART rail station, could be very attractive for new investment and revitalization. Two of the major land uses in the corridor, Shamrock Materials and Dairymen’s Milling, have generally ceased operations and wish to sell their properties for redevelopment. The community’s vision for the area includes a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented retail development with gathering places, restaurants and entertainment in place of the existing commercial and industrial uses. The City is considering some land use redesignations and rezonings to promote retail and mixed use development.

Northwest Quadrant, one of the historic neighborhoods of Downtown Novato, is almost completely built out with single and multi-family buildings, but anticipated revisions to existing development standards could incentivize some reinvestment in the neighborhood. These units are expected to be small and could provide ideal housing opportunities for empty nesters seeking to downsize.

Downtown. The City is considering redesignating and rezoning parcels on Redwood Boulevard between Vallejo and Olive Avenue to allow residential mixed use. Redevelopment of the Downtown could include new second story housing above ground-floor commercial uses and some additional commercial development.

Development Projections

The City has developed household and job projections, as shown in the table below. These projections are based on the results of the focus area studies, analysis of vacant and underutilized commercial and multi-family parcels, and housing potential identified in the Available Land Inventory of the City’s 2015-2023 Housing Element. The projections also include all current development applications and proposals. A local inventory identifying projected development potential is attached. These projections represent the higher end of the potential scale of job and household growth over the next 25 years.

Dear Miriam and Ken:

Participants at the June 4th Plan Bay Area 2040 forum in Marin were provided with community-level household and jobs projections as “second round” refinements to projections which will be used as the basis of Plan Bay Area 2040. I understand that your staff are now working on modified “preferred scenario” projections, and wish to provide the City of Novato’s initial comments on the June projections and request that the basis for changes in the projections be more fully disclosed to local planning agencies.

The housing projections for Novato published in June are relatively consistent with previous estimates, however the recently released jobs projections differ significantly from the 2010 Census, Plan Bay Area 2013 and from the jobs projections provided to cities in October 2015. More importantly, the June jobs projections vary from those contained in the draft General Plan 2035. The following summarizes the wide divergence of the June jobs projections from past ABAG projections and those used in our draft General Plan:

The new jobs forecast for Novato are 17-37% higher than those provided to the City last fall and almost 3 times higher than ABAG’s 2013 projections and our draft General Plan (7,400 increase in jobs vs. 2,805 in our draft General Plan). As part of our General Plan update, local planners have utilized numerous data sources and a parcel-by-parcel analysis to project job growth from both approved, in process and anticipated future commercial and industrial development. We project approximately 1.36 million square feet of new commercial/industrial development by 2040 which would yield approximately 2,800 new jobs. Even factoring in full occupancy of all currently vacant office and commercial space (approximately 550,000 square feet) would theoretically yield up to 1,900 additional jobs, for a total increase of 4,700 new jobs in Novato by 2040, which is far less than the 7,300 to 7,500 jobs forecast by ABAG/MTC. It is apparent to us that the anticipated job increase is completely unrealistic in terms of both demand and physical capacity in Novato.

In addition, the Base Year (2010) number of 26,400 jobs is approximately 20% higher than the 21,154 Novato workers shown in the 2010 U.S. Census and the 22,465 jobs listed in Plan Bay Area 2013 for the year 2010. ABAG staff stated that two additional data sources were available but were not factored into the revised base year assumption – the American Community Survey (2008-2012) which estimated 24,571 jobs in Novato and a “custom data run” prepared by the State Economic Development Department which computed both employees working for identified businesses as well as the self-employed which estimated 24,700 Novato jobs in 2010. These data sources are at odds with the 2010 jobs figure contained in the June release. According to ABAG staff, the June jobs projections were based strictly on the output of the UrbanSim computer model which yielded an estimate of 26,400 Novato jobs in 2010, although ABAG staff were unable to explain the significant difference (between 1,700 and 1,800 jobs) between the two data sources and the UrbanSim output.

To provide meaningful feedback, the City of Novato needs a better understanding of the data that resulted in the substantial increase in assumed local jobs for the 2010 base year, the deviance between UrbanSim outputs and various data sources for the 2010 base year assumption, and the rationale behind the projected increase in jobs by 2040 that is substantially higher than the modeling performed just six months ago.

We request that the “preferred scenario” projections under development take into account and rectify these major deviations between recent and past projections and that a much greater effort be made in explaining the modeling assumptions and results to local planning agencies.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance,

Dear Miriam and Ken:

At its meeting of October 11, 2016 the Novato City Council authorized the following comments related to the Preferred Scenario:

1. There is concern regarding the substantial adjustment to the 2010 base year number of jobs (a 26% increase from the baseline used in PBA 2013). Although this increase has been explained as having resulted from the use of additional data sources, the shift in base year numbers makes statistical comparisons very difficult between planning documents and renders most local general plans, which are frequently based on ABAG projections, substantially out of compliance with the regional assumptions. As we stated in our July 13, 2016 letter, “ To provide meaningful feedback, the City needs a better understanding of the data that resulted in the substantial increase in assumed local jobs for the 2010 base year, the deviance between UrbanSim outputs and various data sources for the 2010 base year assumption.” Although MTC and ABAG staff have made some attempt to communicate the basis for the change in the baseline numbers, greater efforts at clear communication to local agencies are necessary to fully understand the significant data adjustments.

2. From a regional perspective, the shift away from concentration of jobs and housing in PDAs seems contrary to the plan objectives. Plan Bay Area 2013 allocated 80% of households into PDAs and 70% of jobs. Plan Bay Area 2040 lowers these percentages to 75% and 52% respectively.

3. The assumption that additional subsidies will be provided to create affordable housing in PDAs seems very speculative. With the loss of Redevelopment, the ability of local government to subsidize housing production has been drastically reduced.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.
