ED CENTRAL PETALiJ1VIA AND CORONA ROAD SMART RAIL. STATION AREAS. l: RECOMMENDATION: Adopt- the attached resolution in support of the Station Area Planning Grant application. 2. BACKGROUND: The Station Area Planning Program is an initiative of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments to finance planning efforts that will result in land use plans and policies that will substantially increase transit ridership around public transit hubs and bus and rail corridors in the nine- county San Francisco Bay Area. The key goals of the program are to: 1) Increase the housing supply witfiin station areas, including affordable housing for low-income. residents; 2) Boost transit ridership and thereby reduce vehicle miles traveled by station area .residents, employees and visitors; 3`) Increase walking, bicycling, carpooling, car sharing, local transit and other transportation options for residents, employees and visitors within the station area; 4) Increase jobs in station areas and provide access to jobs elsewhere along transit corridors; and 5) Locate- key services and retail within station areas. Petaluma's application includes the following planning elements: a community involvement strategy, market demand analyses, affordable housing strategy, station access acid connectivity plans, accessible and _pedestrian- freridly design standards, parking demand aralyses, an infrastructure development and financing strategy;• and an implementation-plan. The planning effort will- focus on a '/2 mile radius of the Central Petaluma and Corona Road station sites. 3. DISCUSSION: The deadline for submitting an application, for the current funding cycle was August. 31-, 2009. Staff submitted the attached application in re"sponse to the call for applications., A resolution in support of the application must be submitted by .September 30, 2009. With the passage of Measure Q this past November,.. passenger rail in Petaluma will become a reality. This application will ensure that the necessary planning occurs for the areas surrounding the two future station sites in Petaluma to blend seamlessly with the surrounding areas and :represent the best in transit-oriented development. 4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: IInder the Station .Area Planning Program's current funding cycle; .grants will be awarded on a competitive basis with a minimum of $100,000 and a maximum of $500,000 available per grant recipient. A local match of 20 percent of the total project budget is required and must be provided. as a cash match. Petaluma's request is O" based on a total project. budget of $300,000. The required local match of 20% is $60,000. However, the Sonoma-Marin Area :Rail Transit (SMART) district has committed to providing $10,000 of the local match for each jurisdiction receiving funds,. thereby reducing Petaluma's commitment to $50,000. Both of the station sites are located within the Petaluma Community Development Commission (PCDC) Redevelopment Area. Staff recommends using PCDC program funds for the required $50,000 cash match. Additional costs include staff time spent preparing the grant application and this report. An in-kind local match of staff time to manage the proposed planning process will also be required. 3 L A RESOLiJ'TION SUPPORTING 'TREE CITY OF PETALUIVIA APPLICATION FOR A STATIOl~ AREA PLANNING GltAlvT, A PItOGItAlVI ®F TIIEE 1VIETItOPOLITAN TRANSPO1tTATION COIVIIVIISSION A1V~ ~TI~E ASSOCIATI®N ®>F EAY AREA GOVERNIVIENTS, FOR TIIE PLANNED CENTRAL- PETALUIVIA ANI) CORONA ROAD SMART RAIL, STATION AREAS WIIEREAS, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments are undertaking: an nitiafive called the Station Area Planning Program; and WIIEREAS, the.

I ntroduction/!/ision With the passage of Measure Q in N,ovenber 2008 passenger rail in Sonoma and Marin Counties wild become a reality, with service scheduled to begin"as soon as 201'4. Petaluma is interested in receiving funds `from the Station Area Planning Grant program to insure that the two planned stations in Petaluma blend seamlessly with the surrounding .areas and represent. the best in transit-oriented development. This application is requesting planning grant funds for both of the planned SMART station sites in Petaluma. We believe that planning for both sites concurrently will lead to greater efficiency, coordination, and cost savings. The planned station sites are different in many ways, each with its own set of characteristics, opportunities, and constraints. The:. primary planning objectives,. however, remain the same and are aligned with regional goals for transit-oriented development. and smart growth. A successful planning process and future implementation will result m increased transit ridership, improved multi-modal connectivity anal coordination, reduced vehicle-miles travelled, increased housing (both affordable and market rate) and' employment 'in :.close proximity to transit, and an appropriate balance of supporting services and retail businesses. The Central Petaluma station- area (Figure 1) can best be characterized by MTC's `Suburban Center' place type. Consistent with the Central. Petaluma .Specific Plan, Petaluma envisions this area as a relatively high density area wi"th a vibrant .mix of residential,. retail, employment and entertainment uses. The .SMART station, adjacent Bus Transit Mall, reduced parking requirements, and emphasise on pedestrian and bicycle facilities will offer the potential for a successful multi-modal environment with a reduced dependence on the automobile. The Corona Road station area (Figure 2) is best characterized by the `Transit Neighborhood' place type. Approximately half of'the Corona Road area, is devoted to lower density residential uses and the other half to ,commercial/industrial employment uses with a distinct separation between residential and nonresidential uses. There are a few opportunity sites surrounding and including. the planned station site that. allow for mixed use and the possible introduction of a node of retail activity and high density residential. Just beyond the %2. mile radius from the Corona Road station are additional office parks and: the Santa Rosa Junior College's Petaluma Campus, an emphasis on connectivity to these areas would increase activity and transit use at this site. Petaluma- is seeking Station Area Planning Grant funds. to build upon already ..adopted plans through a series of more detained analyses and studies aimed at creating a more precise plan for the successful implementation of trarisit-oriented development around both stations. While we do not anticipate any land use changes as a result of this process, we do expect that some revisions and updates to our zoning codes will be necessary. 2. Existing Policies In 2003, the City of Petaluma .adopted the Central Petaluma Specific Plan (CPSP) and an implementing form-based zoning code for approximately 380 acres of mostly underutilized land immediately east of and adjacent to the City's historic downtown core. The intent of the plan was 1 ~~ to redirect development from the fringes of the City to the central core; accommodate greater diversity and intensity of development and activities; and. give -the area identity and interest. The plan calls for mixed use development with residential densities up to 60 units per acre; building heights up to ~6 .stories; limited and flexible parking requirements;. and opportunities for multi- modal transportation options. The planned dbwntow. n SMART station and newly constructed bus transit mall. are within the CPSP area. The majority of future development potential around the Downtown station. is guided by the CPSP. In 2008; the City adopted its General Plan 2025 with an emphasis on infill development, economic health, sustainability, and amulti-modal approach.. to transportation. A second SMART station within Petaluma is planned in the vicinity of North McDowell .Boulevard and Corona Road, often referred to as the Corona station. Development around the Corona station is guided by the new General Plan 2025 as well as the Corona=Ely Specific Plan (1989), covering 675 acres and now .largely built- out., Proposed land uses in the. immediate vicinity of the Corona station provide for ..higher densityYintensity development in support of transit-oriented uses. While the development opportunities in this area. are fewer "than in the area of the downtown station; the proximity to existing housing, employment, and the Petaluma. Campus of the Santa Rosa Junior College will make Phis an important station for Petaluma commuters. Along with the General Plan 2025, the City adopted an updated. Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The Plan was prepared for the purpose of making Petaluma apedestrian- and bicycle-friendly community by means of `complete' streets, infrastructure improvements, and transportation planning for the benefit of all users. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan proposes a comprehensive and integrated network of both on-street and off-street facilities. The proposed SMART trail provides a central north-.south. spine with connectivity to river and creek trails linking neighborhoods, employment centers, .and schools to the planned SMART stations. In June 2009, Petaluma adopted its 2009-2014 Housing Element Update; certification. from HCD followed in Judy 2009. The Housing Element Update presents a ,picture of what Petaluma's population is predicted to look like over the next five years and how the City plans to address the housing,needs of that population, particularly its low and moderate income families, seniors, and special needs households. The Housing Element provides for Petaluma's `fair share' of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation and in .recognizing that many of the opportunity sites suitable for affordable housing .are located in close proximity to the planned SMART stations includes a program requiring that within ahalf--mile radius of the planned SMART stations,. the developer shall provide at least 15 percent of the units as .affordable housing as part of their project. Relevant. Planning Documents Corona-Ely Specific Plan - 1989 Centrdl Petdluma Specific Plan - 2003 SmartCode'© (form-based code for CPSP) - 2003 Petaluma General Plan 2025 - 2008 Implementing Zoning Ordinance - 2008 Petaluma Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - 2008 Cert f ed Housing Element Update - 2009 2 3. Proposed Planning Elements The above planning .documents provide a solid foundation. with respect to general land use and policy support for the areas surrounding the planned rail stations. Each document accounted for the prospect of regional commuter rail service in their overall land use decisions, policies, and programs. Consequently there is little need for the development of land use alternatives or a new specific plan. A more detailed level of planning is necessary, however, to insure that the planned stations integrate successfully within their surrounding areas. The City is requesting Station Area Planning Grant funding to provide for the following planning elements to be addressed in a precise plan for Petaluma's station areas: ® Community Involvement Strategy: Develop a strategy to ensure the meaningful involvement of all relevant stakeholders including City staff, elected and appointed officials, transit providers,. developers and owners of opportunity sites, large employers, community groups,.. and citizens. 0 14larket Demand Analysis: Conduct an analysis of future market conditions for housing, retail, and employment uses with an emphasis on ability to support high intensity housing and employment uses. ® Parking Demand Analysis: Review existing and projected parking demand -for both of the planned station sites and their surrounding areas. Develop strategies to reduce parking demand and promote alternative means of station access. ® Station Access and Connectivity: Conduct amulti-modal. review of access to rail stations from both surrounding and. distant areas. Define key bicycle and pedestrian corridors and intermodal facility :needs providing for effective and efficient connectivity between alternative modes of transportation. ® Accessible Design:, Ensure universal design and accessibility for people with disabilities and the elderly is incorporated into the. planning and construction of transit. stations, paths of travel within station. areas, and in development surrounding the stations. ® Pedestrian-Friendly Design Standards: Ensure the design and implementation of `complete' streets and intersections which address the: needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, transit services, and automobiles in providing safe and efficient access and mobility for all users within the station areas.. ® Infrastructure Development and Financing Strategy: Projection of necessary capital improvements with respect. to infrastructure and services including location, timing, costs, and how.they should be financed. Implementation Plan: Package the above planning; elements into a cohesive transit- oriented development plan for each station area. Evaluate existng,plans and codes and make 'any necessary revisions or amendments to ensure successful implementation. Develop a means to monitor the success of the station area planning effort. ~ 4. _ Project Readiness/Local. Commitment to the Plan and Implementation Like most California cities; Petaluma is experiencing its share of financial difficulties. Funding from this program would -allow for consultant support to :make certain that the .necessary planning occurs is the, near=term altowing for the successful.l'ong-term integration of passenger rail service and associated transit-oriented development in Petaluma. Both of the planned stations are. located within the City's redevelopment area and the City will provide the: requisite matching 3 ~~' funds. SMART has committed $10,000 toward the local matching requirement. Assuming notification of award in November, and the need to develop an RFP .and select a consultant team, we would anticipate the planning process to begin in early spring 2010 and take approximately 1:8 months to complete. Upon notification of an award for funding through the Station Area Planning; Program; City staff would begin to inform major property owners within each planning area of the upcoming process and invite their participation as major stakeholders. Developer interest within both station areas had been extremely high prior to the economic downturn and some interest remains with. a few large mixed use projects currently in the development review process within the Central Petaluma Specific Plan (CPSP) area. The CPSP has provided a strong catalyst. for new development and several significant projects have been successfully built. However, major new development consistent-with the plan has been hampered by several problems that we have come to find were .not .clearly resolved through the Specific Plan. These include a lack of adequate vehicle access and circulation options to a significant portion of the, plan area; a lack of an overall city financing plan and investment strategy to help fund .infrastructure, parking and other improvements necessary to support the types of development called for by the plan; and, gaps and inconsistericies in the applicable zoning regulations that have created inefficiencies in the entitlement process. The planning elements outlined in Section 3 above would provide the .necessary effort to revise and amend the 2003 CPSP and SmartCodeO ordinance, to create a more precise development plan for the area around the Central Petaluma station area and .clear up existing zoning discrepancies. Application of the planning elements above to the Corona Road station area will ensure that similar issues do not arise within that area. Conducting a more detailed planning effort during these challenging economic times will allow the City to be well situated when development interest returns and ensure that future.transit-oriented development in Petaluma is successful. 4 l3 - Figure 1 ., _ ` <, I~ ~ ~ ,, - v w d r~ ~-,-,~ \ ~ ~ l ~ .,~'`~f~` 1 Fy1 ` { ~ t ! lv. `~~ - -.~ ..
