CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: March 20, 2013 ITEM# 6
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE WEST CAPITOL COMMONS PROJECT
REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY: INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: Mike Luken, Port and Transportation Manager [ ] Council [X] Staff [ ] Other /J-~L G reg Fabun, Dire ~.or Department of Public Works ATTACHMENTS [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE The objective of this report is to provide the Council with information to consider a transportation systems management plan for the West Capitol Commons project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION It is respectfully recommended that the City Council approve the proposed Transportation Systems Management Plan for the West Capitol Commons project supporting a 16% reduction in traffic impact fees.
BACKGROUND Wolff Enterprises, LLC is proposing to develop a 350 unit multifamily complex on 8.5 acres within Raley's Landing . The proposed project consists of two phases and two building types. The initial phase consists of the development of 270 courtyard units located between 3rd and 5th Streets, and between the West Capitol Avenue remnant and G Street. The second phase consists of 112 multifamily units and 5,000 square feet of commercial space located along the Tower Bridge Gateway frontage, between 3rd and 5th Streets (see Attachment 1, Site Plan).
The Raley's Landing Development Agreement requires the project to prepare a transportation management plan to achieve the following objectives:
Increase public awareness and use of transportation alternatives to single-occupant vehicles; Maximize and promote alternative commute modes; Reduce the total number of single-occupant vehicle trips associated with home-to-work and work-to home commuting which will result in a reduction of traffic congestion and vehicle emissions; Reduce present and future motor vehicle emissions as a contribution towards complying with federal and state ambient air quality standards; Achieve an average vehicle ridership of 1.5 persons per motor vehicle at all work sites with one hundred or more employees;
Wolff Enterprises, LCC has labeled the required Plan a "transportation systems management plan" . There is no difference between a transportation management plan and a transportation systems management plan (TSMP) . This TSMP is also a mitigation measure for the environmental document for the project and is used to determine the methods by which the project will meet trip reduction requirements of the area it is located within - Raley's Landing. Projects within Raley's Landing automatically receive a 29% reduction in traffic impact fees as development densities within that district are required to support compact urban development by reducing vehicle trips. Projects can receive additional reductions in traffic impact fees if they can demonstrate additional measures to reduce vehicle trips.
Projects within the Raley's Landing Project must support enhanced transit service and will also be able to take full advantage of the Downtown Riverfront Streetcar once constructed. Enhanced bus service is currently provided in the area via Yolobus, which has established 5-minute headways at peak commute hours through the creative use of a combination of different bus routes. Currently, this enhanced service is paid for mostly by Yolobus, with increasing required contributions from developments such as CaiSTRS and The River 2 projects. Downtown Riverfront Transit Project March 6, 2013 Page 2
ANALYSIS Wolff Enterprises, LLC has prepared a TSMP for all phases of their 350 unit mixed use development project (Attachment 2) . Professionally prepared by the consulting firm of Hughes Consulting of Sacramento, the Plan demonstrates a trip reduction rate of 45%, which is 16% greater than the 29% required for projects in the Raley's Landing Project and the City's traffic model and fee assumptions.
Trip reduction measures are described in detail in the proposed TSMP. Generally these measures fall into six categories including:
Parking Management (zipcar spaced, EV charging stations); Bicycle and Pedestrian Amenities (bikeshare, dedicated space, shower access for retail employees); Supporting On-Site Amenities (rideshare bulletin board, telecommuting infrastructure); On-Site Convenience Amenities (vending machines for convenience items); Nearby Convenience Amenities (retail uses, ATMs); and Transit Supportive Infrastructure (transit shelter).
The proposed plan has been reviewed by staff and has received letters of support/peer review from the following agencies:
Yolo County Transportation District; Yolo Transportation Management Association; City of Sacramento Public Works; and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District.
Wolff Enterprises, LCC, initially requested a fee reduction of 69% based on their consultant's opinion that the proposed TSMP measures would result in a 69% trip reduction for the project. Staff felt that this level of trip reduction has only been demonstrated in extremely dense areas such as Manhattan and Washington DC, and was not realistic. The 45% reduction is comparable to what is commonly achievable in Mid-Town Sacramento and can be achieved with the measures proposed in the TSMP. Wolff Enterprises, LCC amended their report/request and staff supports a fee reduction of 45% which corresponds to the greater level of trip reduction beyond what is already accounted for in the City's traffic model and fee assumptions. If the developer can demonstrate trip reductions that exceed 45%, future phases of the project could apply for increased fee reductions.
The proposed project will also be responsible for payment of an enhanced transit fee approved in the development agreement for the Raley's Landing Project. Similar to CaiSTRS and the River 2 projects, this project will be required to pay a contribution to support reduced headways for bus service. Staff is negotiating this fee with Wolff Enterprises, LLC based upon an established formula for projects approved to date. Consequently, the reduced headway fee is not included in this TSMP. The fee is required prior to issuing the certificate of occupancy for the project.
Strategi c Plan Integration The City's Strategic Plan calls for an active and vibrant riverfront that serves as a regional destination. The project site will implement key strategic plan objectives that include the following:
Places to live with quality residential development; 24/7 alive- a 21st Century regional downtown; Public has access for recreational use with a Riverwalk; and Pedestrian friendly with transportation options beyond the car.
Alternatives The following alternatives are available to the Council in consideration of the Proposed Transportation Systems Management Plan :
1. The City Council may approve the proposed Transportation Systems Management Plan as presented in this report; 2. The City Council may direct staff to amend and/or supplement the Proposed Transportation Systems Management Plan; or 3. The City Council may ask staff and the developer to research and amend the Proposed Transportation Systems Management Plan and return to the Council at a future regular Council meeting .

Coordination and Review This project was coordinated with the Community Development Department, Yolo County Transportation District and representatives from Wolff Enterprises, LLC .
Budget/Cost Impact The preparation of the TSMP was initiated and paid for by the applicant. Staff time to analyze the TSMP will be paid for through a reimbursement agreement with the City.

TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Minimizing traffic congestion and air pollution are critical concerns in maintaining a healthy quality of life and economy for the City of West Sacramento and its residents. Traffic congestion results in time lost to residents and commuters, as well as increased demand on City fiscal resources for roadway construction and maintenance. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "mobile sources account for more than half of all the air pollution in the United States. The The Transit-Oriented Development Model primary mobile source of air pollution is the The most ambitious approach to creating automobile . . . . [T]oday's motor vehicles are communities that support alternative modes of still responsible for up to half of all the transportation is Transit-Oriented emissions released into the air."1 Development (TOD). This is a development model based on a mix of land uses with In addition to mitigating the impacts of traffic pedestrian, bicycle, and local transit circulation and air quality in the neighborhood, the Raley IV in close proximity to a train station, ferry terminal or other inter-regional transit hub. project (West Capitol Commons) is taking steps to be a good community citizen by preparing a proactive Transportation Management Plan (TMP). The TMP is also designed to Smart Growth - Sustainable Development complement sustainable and smart growth The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management policies and highlight the benefits of this Transit District encourages denser and more mixed Oriented Development (TOD). The West Capitol use urban development to combine different Commons residential project successfully land uses in closer proximity, encouraging incorporates the necessary components of a walking, biking, transit and other non TOD model and a Smart Growth project as motorized travel. This type of development is described in the Transportation & Land Use sometimes referred to as "smart growth" or Toolkit. 2 "sustainable development. "
The West Capitol Commons TMP describes 56 mitigation measures that enhance its commute friendly location and creates the guidelines for a residential (and retail) tenant/occupant commute program for the development proposed in the City of West Sacramento. The West Capitol Commons project meets U. S. Green Building Council commute-sustainable standards by incorporating many (USGBC) programs and service to help their future tenants commute The USGBC encourages and by public transit, bicycle, walking and carpooling.

The West Capitol Commons project is committed to reducing trips, air pollution, traffic congestion, and demand for parking. Doing so contributes to successful carbon footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions for this project, thereby enhancing long-term sustainable operations. By reducing GHG emissions, the West Capitol Commons project will also be aligned with City sustainability goals. Green & Sustainable Community The plan includes TMP measures The City Council of West Sacramento set the specifically developed for this residential requirement for development of a Green and and mixed-use project. Measures include, Sustainable Community Strategy as a high priority in but are not limited to, secure bicycle their 2008 Policy Agenda. This commitment sends a strong message the Council believes natural parking, on -site commuter kiosks, and a resources are limited and that their use should be free emergency ride home (ERH) program managed so they are available for future generations. for alternative transportation users.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The comprehensive plan of commute options and on-site measures (identified in this report) are essential to realizing the trip reduction benefits of the project. These factors will provide the momentum to achieve desired trip reduction needs for this project.
The West Capitol Commons TMP incorporates an abundance of transportation demand management (TOM) strategies. TDM is a combination of services, incentives, facilities, and actions that reduce single occupant vehicle (SOV) trips to help relieve traffic congestion, parking demand, and air pollution problems. The TDM measures outlined below are expected to support significant reduction in commuter trips. TOM successes will also have a significant impact on GHG emissions reductions.
For example, a solo driver commuting by car Commuting by public transporla1iotr 20 miles round-trip daily who switches to public one of the most signHicant actions to reduce transportation can reduce his/her annual C02 hou:sehold carbon emissions.* emissions by 2.4 tons (4,800 pounds) per year.

The West Capitol Commons TMP has been prepared in an effort to reduce traffic impacts and maximize mobility options for residents. The developer has included significant transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and rideshare incentives to promote alternative transportation modes for project
3 Public Transportation's Contribution to U.S. Greenhouse Gas Reduction, Science Applications International Corporation, September 2007 4 Ibid
Page 1 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 residents. These incentives are designed to achieve a minimum of 20 percent alternative mode usage for commute trips. The ultimate goal of the Plan is 30 percent alternative mode use. This Plan has been designed to meet the requirements of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Development Agreements and the City of West Sacramento TMP Ordinance. A summary of City, County and State policy goals related to alternative transportation, sustainability, and greenhouse gas management follows.
West Sacramento Climate Action and Sustainability Efforts5 In 2007, the City Council of West Sacramento established a Green and Sustainable Community Strategy as a high priority on the City's Policy Agenda.
In 2008, West Sacramento Mayor Cabaldon, signed the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement which pledges, "to meet or beat the Kyoto Protocol emissions reduction target in the community."
In May 2008, the City adopted Resolution 08-47 supporting a regional approach to Climate action policies and programs when possible. To further this goal, the City joined the Yolo County Climate Action Compact (YCCAC), established to identify beneficial climate action policies and programs to implement on a regional basis. The current focus of discussion is the possibility of a regional approach to a community inventory of GHG emissions. Since many of the community issues such as commute traffic cross over jurisdictional boundaries, the City fully supports YCCAC in its efforts to reduce GHG emissions and develop a regional approach to gather community inventory information. Once the inventory is completed, the City can consider local options for developing sustainable policies. Below are General Plan excerpts supporting the Greenhouse Gas goals and policies.
Select Greenhouse Gas related Goals and Policies (General Plan update undenvay)
Sustainable Development LU 1.A. 33 The City shall promote development patterns, mixed-use, in-fill and higher-development intensities that use land efficiently; reduce pollution and automobile dependence and the expenditure of energy and other resources; and facilitate walking, bicycling, and transit use.
Connections between New Develapment and Bikewavs TC 3.F.4 The City shall ensure that new commercial and residential development projects provide frequent and direct connections to the nearest bikeways.
Trans portation Systems Management TC 3.G.3 The City shall adopt a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) ordinance applicable as an environmental impact mitigation measure to major development projects and employers.
tjew Development NR 6.0.7 The City shall insure that new development incorporates the infrastructure, facilities, and design standards necessary to encourage and accommodate transit, ridesharing, and non-automobile travel modes.
TSM Ordinance NR 6.D.!J The City shall continue to implement a local TSM ordinance as a mitigation measures in accordance with state law. The TSM ordiNance was developed in consultation with the Yolo-Solano Air Pollution Control District, Yolo County, The Sacramento Area Council of Governments, and the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District. The TSM ordinance distinguishes between the physical facilities to be nrovided hv develoners amd the trio reduction incentives and oro2'rams to be imnlementf>d hv emnlovers.
Page 2 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012
City of West Sacramento TSM Ordinance Chapter 17.67.000 of the municipal code for the City of West Sacramento identifies the purpose and intent of a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Ordinance. The TSM Ordinance requires employers and developers in the City to promote alternative commute modes and reduce the total number of vehicle trips for their site or project.
A transportation management plan (TMP) must demonstrate compliance with the TSM Ordinance. The TMP will be submitted by developers prior to the issuance of a building permit. A City approved transportation management certificate indicates approval of the TMP. 6
State GHG Guideline and Policy Setting The State of California has given many organizations and agencies the responsibility of creating guidelines, policies, and thresholds, including the Office of Planning and Research, the California Air Resources Board, the California Air Pollution Control Officers' Association, the Council of Governments, and the Attorney General's Office.
Assembly Bill32, California Climate Solutions Act of 2006- requires that California's GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by the year 2020. AB 32 designates the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as the State agency responsible for monitoring and regulating sources of GHG emissions and implementing AB 32. The goals of AB 32 are:
o By 2010 reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels o By 2020 reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels o By 2050 reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent Below 1990 levels
Senate Bill375- establishes improved land use and transportation policy supporting AB 32 by providing a means for achieving the AB 32 goals for cars and light trucks through land use changes. These plans are expected to double the GHG emission reduction targets that local governments must meet through land use planning.
2.0 GENERAL TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PLANNING DEFINITION
The basic premise for incorporating transportation management planning is to maximize and utilize existing transportation resources. The City of West Sacramento, as is typical of other urban areas in the United States, has millions of dollars invested in roadway and public transit infrastructure. The goal of this TMP is to take advantage of these major capital investments efficiently and economically. The following are basic goals that can be achieved through effective utilization of TMP measures: 1) Convert trips to an alternative mode of transportation (e.g., transit, carpools or van pools, bicycling or walking)
6 City of West Sacramento General Plan Background Report, Chapter 5 Transportation and Circulation, Public Review Draft Background Report, September 2009.
Page 3 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012
2) Shift travel to less congested facilities by providing traveler information systems that warn motorists about delays or alternative routes 3) Support other technological solutions (e .g., compressed natural gas, electric/hybrid vehicles, or other zero emission vehicles) 4) Eliminate or shift trips from peak periods (e.g., flexible schedules, compressed work weeks, or telecommuting)
Current economics and limited resources affect the ability to build and maintain more roads or parking resources. This reality necessitates better utilization of the existing transportation infrastructure. To that end, TMP measures support the transition to a greater use of existing alternative transportation options.
Rideshare and TMP Program Benefits Commuting tenants can experience stress and frustration long before their workday officially begins. The transportation choices afforded by the Project will improve the commuter experience, local communities and business environments by decreasing both traffic congestion and GHG emissions.
Below is a list of community and tenant-related commuter and rideshare benefits derived from transportation management planning.

3.0 YOLO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION MODE SPLIT
According to the American Community Survey (based on the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program), the overall 2006-2010 Yolo County alternative transportation mode-use rate (those who do not drive alone) is approximately 31.6 percent, with the Greater Sacramento Area regional rate comprising 24.9 percent. The larger Sacramento Area alternative mode-use rate reflects the increased prevalence of paid parking in urban core areas, whereas parking is free or much less expensive in much of Yolo County and in the City of West Sacramento.
The City of West Sacramento's estimated transportation mode-use rate is 22.0 percent. Below is a comparison of alternative transportation mode-use rates (non-drive alone commuters) identified in the City of West Sacramento, Yolo County, and the Greater Sacramento Area Region.

4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 7
The West Capitol Commons site is located between 3rd and 5th Streets along the new Tower Bridge Gateway (TBG} across from Raley Field ballpark. The West Capitol Commons development will bring 270 new residential rental units (in Phase I} within an easy walk or bike ride to jobs, transit, dining, shopping, recreation, and entertainment in the cities of West Sacramento and Sacramento. The concept includes extensive common area amenities for residents to enjoy, such as meeting rooms, business center, common area kitchen, BBQ, pool, gym, grassy gathering spaces and interior courtyards. These amenities provide residents with a full array of free-time activities. In addition to rental housing, Phase II of the development includes corner retail space at 5th and TBG along with 108 rental units. The retail could be operated as a cafe, restaurant, deli or pub with ample outdoor seating space and great views of the Raley Field ballpark, and live/work spaces at the corner of 3rd and TBG.
The plan focuses on diminishing the intensity of the parking by spreading it out across the site to maximize convenience for residents and buffer the impact of cars in the development. The strategy uses buildings, trees, and extensive landscaping to both screen parking areas and slow the movement of cars through the site. It provides direct access parking to units through ground floor garages, and unbundled uncovered surface lot parking, as well as parking on Fifth Street and G Street.
The central goal of the development is to create a sense of urban neighborhood that capitalizes on events at Raley Field, River Walk Park, and the retail services and restaurants that would be located within walking distance of the development. The project location and design incorporates the City's goal of increasing "public use and enhancing the appearance of the riverfront." It also accommodates the future housing needs of West Sacramento.
A breakdown of the expected mix of occupants includes:
Studios (The Lobby Life/ Students} 50/50 1 Bedroom (The Lobby Life/Students/Junior Professionals} 25/25/50 2 Bedroom (Junior Professionals/Students/Upstart Families} 50/25/25 3 Bedroom- Penthouse (Professionals} 100
By its very nature, as a part of the Raley Landing mixed-use development, the West Capitol Commons project is a key land-use component of efforts to reduce vehicle trips and promote alternative modes of transportation. By providing a mix of uses throughout the development, mobility choices are increased and employees and residents have opportunities to conduct personal business (eating lunch, shopping, working out, etc.} as well as providing a better job/housing balance without the need for a personal vehicle. The West Capitol Commons project creates a true smart growth, urban housing environment supportive of walking and bicycling.
7 Tower Bridge Commons Project Description
Page 6 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012
The Raley landing area represents the implementation of the Blueprint Plan adopted by the City of West Sacramento and Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG). The Blueprint is a plan for Smart Growth that calls for densification of land uses in the urban core. Raley landing is a high density infill development in downtown West Sacramento that provides job, housing, retail and recreational uses in a master planned development. The West Capitol Commons residential project is a critical component of the overall Raley landing Smart Growth development.
Res idents will be given information about alternative transportation and commute options at the time of occupancy. This is a critical juncture at which to educate people about the benefits of alternative transportation. They may be more receptive to this information as their commute patterns will already have changed after relocation.
The future property management will provide residents with information and updates regarding transportation incentives and opportunities for choosing an alternative commute option. Occupancy is anticipated to occur in the year 2014.
Future retail residents will also be provided with employee fliers highlighting the Yolo TMA commute cash incentives. Retail establishments will also be asked to join the Yolo TMA and provide an Emergency Ride Home Program (ERH) for their employees. Lease language will provide the mechanism that maintains participation of retail establishments in the commute program elements of this TMP. A location map of the West Capitol Commons project is provided on page 8.
There is one vehicular access off of 5th to the project (there are two driveway access point for the buildings on those drives, but they do not go through at 4th street) The off street parking spaces are primarily for the residential uses- although they would be used for the retail on 5th Street once it is built.

West Capitol Commons Location Map
The West Capitol Commons TMP is designed to address commuter t rips associated with a residential project. The plan contains appropriate measures and elements that are consistent with other residential commute programs. The primary transportation mode-use strategies included in the document include the following three sections:
I. TMP Infrastructure and Physical Measures II. Programmatic Commuter Measures Ill. Monitoring and Reporting lil'- Page8 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012
SECTION I- TMP INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL MEASURES
The following physical infrastructure measures are designed to support alternative transportation commuters. These measures are TDM components that currently exist or will be added and installed during the construction of the project.
5.0 PARKING MANAGEMENT
The willingness to participate in, and the actual level of, tenant ridesharing is directly linked to parking availability, convenience, and parking cost. Other parking features contribute to ridesharing and clean-fuel commuting such as charging stations, motorcycle parking, passenger loading zones, preferential parking for carpools and vanpools.
5.1 Reduced Parking Ratio Located in an evolving urban core, with many planned community enhancements, existing public transit services, and future trolley to downtown Sacramento (see Section 8.2), this residential and mixed-use project will provide a total of 468 spaces- 2 parking spaces less than City code. The West Capitol Commons project is proposing to provide a slightly reduced parking ratio to further enhance its TDM efforts and the use of alternative transportation.
Vehicle Parking Counts Phase 1 Phase 2 TOTAL Required by City of West Sacramento 335 135 470 Provided by West Capitol Commons 364 104 468 Reduction 2
5.2 Parking for Carshare or Zipcar Vehicle The West Capitol Commons may consider options for car sharing services. Car sharing would provide residents with access to vehicles for anytime use. The project may host a parking location (on-site or off-site) for one neighborhood Zipcar vehicle. Residents could receive a membership discount for the Zipcar program and can utilize this resource for their travel needs.
Zipcar provides a shared neighborhood community or business vehicle(s) program. Zipcar users sign up to become members with a nominal annual fee and application MINI Muswell fee. The vehicle is then reserved online and tfuU.t-'51.oc\ed fridie; ltrw.i t~ ~ n teftl >n) accessed via a cardkey pass system. Fuel and learn about the A insurance is included in the cost for the simple steps • ~ ~ to zi pc.ar freedom , , Zipcar. Mileage is typically allocated at 180 4 1. JOin miles per day.
Page 9 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012
5.3 Passenger Loading and Pick-up Area In order to facilitate disembarking and embarking rideshare passengers, passenger loading/ unloading areas will be provided. A passenger loading zone for carpool and van pool pick-up and drop-off will be located near a centralized location for easy access by the residents. The Project will construct a passenger loading zone and provide the appropriate signage for this facility.
5.4 Electric Vehicle (EV) Plug-in Charging Stations Each residential unit will contain an electric and plug in hybrid vehicle charging outlet. A few additional Electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) charging outlets may be provided for visitors and guests in the retail parking area. These spaces may be included with the low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicle designations described for LEED criteria.
PHEV vehicles are essentially a regular hybrid with an extension cord. These vehicles operate on gas and can plug in to any 110 or 120 outlet. This provides a secondary fuel tank resource that is always used first only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1 per gallon. They are a cleaner, cheaper, quieter car for local travel, and the gas tank is always accessible for longer distances.
6.0 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES
The project will have on-site pedestrian and bicycle facilities and connections to local and regional facilities. The West Sacramento Bike Network Map is shown on page 11.
6.1 On-site Bicycle Pathways and Wayfinding Signs The West Capitol Commons project will provide bicycle pathways throughout the campus. Bicycle wayfinding signs will also help guide cyclists to direct access to public streets and provide safe routes for internal travel on the campus (to the club house, BBQ area, fitness center, bike repair station, etc.).
6.2 Bicycle Connections to On-street Routes and Trails City bicycle routes are striped and signed along the Tower Bridge Gateway and along 5th Street parallel to the project. Along other nearby streets, including 3rd Street, there are bicycle signage and markings. The West Capitol Commons project enjoys excellent connections to public bicycle infrastructure and close proximity to local and regional bike routes.

6.3 Bicycle Parking The City of West Sacramento does not have a stated residential bicycle parking requirement. However, the LEED bicycle parking standards identify Class I bicycle parking for 15 percent of occupants. This level of bicycle parking would reflect 138 Class I bicycle parking spaces.
However, the Project will install a total of 406 bicycle parking facilities which is 268 more bike facilities than required- exceeding the LEED standard by 194 percent.
Bicycle Parking- Long-Term (Class I) Each residential unit at the West Capitol Commons project will have one Class I covered and secure bicycle parking facility spaces. Phase I will provide 270 Class I bike parking and Phase II will provide 108 Class I bike parking facilities.
Bicycle Parking- Short-Term (Class II) Combined, Phase I and Phase II will provide 28 Class II short-term secure bicycle parking facilities (racks) provided on-site for bicycle commuters, visitors, and guests at the campus. Class II secure bicycle racks will be placed throughout the campus.
Class II bicycle rack design may include the swerve bike rack. This type of rack parking mirrors the bike frame, thus providing superior bike support while making it easy to secure both the bike frame and wheel with a standard u-lock. Swerve racks are popular with architects and universities because of their aesthetic design and space efficiency. Space save r bike racks may be installed at the amenities center and retail shops.
- 3.0- 6.4 Campus Bike Program The West Capitol Commons project will provide at least a dozen bicycles on-site for tenant use between buildings and for transportation around the site. Specially marked bicycle parking racks will be provided at entrances for all buildings. There will be no costs to tenants to use this program. The Campus Transportation Coordinator and Property Manager will coordinate this program for the residents and their families.
Page 12 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012
6.5 Bikeshare Program The West Capitol Commons project may coordinate with a local bike share program. Similar to car sharing, bicycle sharing is a term used to describe a membership-based system of short-term bicycle rental. Members can check a bicycle out from a network of automated bicycle stations, ride to their destination, and return the bicycle to a different station. Bicycle sharing is enjoying a global explosion in growth with the development of purpose-built bicycles and stations that employ high tech features like smartcards, solar power, and wireless internet and GPS technologies. 8
6.6 On-site Bike Kitchen for Residents The West Capitol Commons will establish an on-site Bike Kitchen. The Bike Kitchen will be a do-it yourself mini bike repair facility. The Kitchen may include support resources such as:
• Workbenches • Tools • Repair kits • Equipment • Self-serve resources for bicyclists

6.7 Enhanced Pedestrian Pathways A pedestrian circulation system is planned to encourage pedestrian travel to facilities within the project. The system also links residents to the sidewalk and adjacent uses surrounding the project -such as the River Walk Park. Enhanced pedestrian features will include wayfinding sign age and colored or textured pavement to designate protected walkways.
Residents will be able to walk a few short blocks East across the Capital Avenue Bridge to get to downtown Sacramento, or west to the West Sacramento City Hall. The plan includes sidewalks and "green-courts" to encourage walking. Street trees will be planted to create a positive, comfortable pedestrian environment.
Pedestrian connections originating from 3rd Street and the River Walk Park provide easy access to the Washington Street project. The six-foot-wide pedestrian walk is fully accessible and provides curb ramps at driveway crossings and at delineated crosswalks. The sidewalks will be lit. The streetscape design reinforces the urban identity of the West Capitol Commons project and establishes a pedestrian environment. The pedestrian circulation element within the building clusters have been located and designed to be as accessible as possible.
A consistent and well-designed palette of street furniture will be utilized within the community. The intent is to provide a unified, functional and visually appealing array of elements including pedestrian and vehicular street lights, benches and trash receptacles.
6.8 Pedestrian Connections A key component to the walkability of this urban community is the network of pedestrian-friendly walkways that connect the perimeter streets and residential buildings. The walkways cross 4th Street at mid-block in three locations. As part of the effort to reduce traffic speed on this internal main drive, "chokers" are placed in the street by moving the curb out towards the center of the street at the crossings and using contrasting paving materials to indicate pedestrian movement. These traffic calming benefits increase the visibility of the pedestrian and also provide a more friendly direct access across the neighborhoods. The location of the project receives a very (/!__ high walkability score according to Very Walkable www.walkscore.com. Most errands can be accomplished on fool.
fil'- Page 14 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012
The project is well-located near West Sacramento's River Walk facility which is a 7.5-acre park located along the bank of the Sacramento River opposite Old Sacramento. River Walk Park is located near the base of the Ziggurat Building, between Tower and I Street Bridges. This park provides continuous linear pathways, picnicking, seating, trees, and a direct connection to the Tower Bridge . Activities include fishing, swimming, photography, nature walking and hiking. There is also boat access and a fishing dock at Raley Landing.
6.9 Showers Showers will be available in the pool house for use by retail tenant commuters who walk or bicycle to work, or for those who wish to change clothes after commuting via an alternative mode of transportation.
7.0 SUPPORTING ON-SITE AMENITIES
7.1 Rideshare Bulletin Board/Transportation Kiosk
Transportation information boards or kiosks are located in common gathering areas (e.g., lobby, tenant entrance, break, or lunch room). The kiosks contain transportation information for commuter programs, including the Project ERH benefit, VTA and Caltrain transit schedules, and 511 ridematching. Information is updated periodically by the Transportation Coordinator (TC), who conducts one-on-one orientations with each new The Project hire to provide an in-depth explanation of The Project's TDM program.

7.2 On-site Project Amenities Significant on-site amenities will provide residents with a full-service living environment. Eliminating or reducing the need for an automobile to make midday trips increases non-drive alone rates. Many times, residents perceive that they are dependent upon the drive-alone mode because of the number of errands and activities that must be carried out in different locations. By reducing this dependence through the provision of services and facilities at the work site, an increase in alternative mode usage for commute-based trips should be realized. The Project offers tenants many convenience amenities.
A list of on-site amenities for the Project may include: • Recreational spaces, BBQ, picnic and patio areas • Club house, pool, and showers • Abundant bicycle lockers and campus bicycles • Transit and shuttle stop • Transportation and commute kiosks • Commute resource website • Transportation Coordinator (TC} • Work areas, meeting rooms • Hardwired infrastructure for Broadband and WiFi • Comprehensive fitness facilities, yoga and fitness classes
7.3 Example of Convenience Amenities • Vending sundries (aspirin, tooth brush, shampoo) • Vending machines (food, snacks, drinks) • Video rentai/Redbox • Postage and mail outlet
7.4 Nearby Amenities- West Sacramento Throughout West Sacramento there are many amenities to serve the residents of the project. These nearby amenities include the Riverwalk Park (entertainment, picnic, bike trails), retail (coffee, cafe, weekly farmers market, etc.), banking kiosk/ATM, vending services (food, drinks, sundry items, video rentai/Redbox), and the Bryte/ Broderick Urban Farm Market (summer)/West Sacramento Farmer's Market .

8.0 TRANSIT SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
An advantage for this project is its near proximity to local Yolo bus service (see maps on page 20 and 21), as well as connection to Sacramento Regional Transit bus and light rail. These transit services provide excellent commute connectivity for tenants with 125 trips per day. A comprehensive listing of transit resources is provided on page 22.
Yolobus operates local and intercity bus service 365 days a year in Yolo County and neighboring areas, serving West Sacramento, Davis, Winters, Woodland, downtown Sacramento, Sacramento International Airport, Cache Creek Casino Resort, Esparto, Madison, Dunnigan and Knights Landing.
Yolobus also makes connections with other local public transportation systems including Unitrans and Fairfield-Suisun Transit in Davis, and Regional Transit and Light Rail in Sacramento.
Sacramento Regional Transit District (RT) operates 64 bus routes and 37.5 miles of light rail covering a 418 square-mile service area. Buses and light rail run 365 days a year using 76 light rail vehicles, 182 buses {with an additional 30 buses in reserve) and 11 shuttle vans. Buses operate daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. every 15 to 75 minutes, depending on the route. Light rail trains begin operation at 4 a.m. with service every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes in the evening and on weekends. Blue Line and Gold Line trains operate until10:30 p.m. and the Gold Line to Folsom operates until 7 p.m.
8.1 Public Transportation Access Three Bus drop-off and pick-up locations for Yolobus are conveniently located very near the project. Safe, convenient, and well-lit pedestrian paths will be provided, utilizing the SS Credit 4. 1: Alternative Transportation most direct Public Transportation Access route to the Intent nearest To reduce pollution and land development transit stop impacts from automobile use. from the Requirements - Bus Stop Proximity project.

Page 22 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 8.2 Future Transit The City of West Sacramento's past and future are both uniquely tied to streetcars. The City of West Sacramento, Yolobus, RT and SACOG, are all supportive of proposals to develop a streetcar system on Capitol and West Capitol Avenues to enhance connectivity between the two cities. Once built, the streetcar service will provide more transit resources for the West Capitol Commons residents. To the left is a photo of the original West Sacramento streetcar pictured during the 1920s. 8.3 Installation of Transit/Shuttle Shelter The Project proposes to construct or pay for the construction of one transit passenger shelter near the project at 3rd and G Streets. The transit shelter placement and construction will be coordinated between the Project and Yolobus. Pad construction may include encroachment permits and approvals and installation of power and water sources. The purpose of a transit passenger shelter is to provide a structure that affords protection from the weather for persons who are waiting to board a public or franchised transit vehicle. An attractive bus shelter encourages more transit ridership. The future there is an opportunity for the City to require the Ziggurat project and/or the Fat/Fong ownership to participate in this cost, the City agrees to make a good faith effort to require these ownerships to do so and pro rata shares would be reallocated among all the parties. Page 23 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 SECTION II - PROGRAMMATIC TOM MEASURES AND RESOURCES The following programmatic measures are designed to enhance the success of the TDM program and, upon implementation; they formalize the "The Project Commute Program." These measures are TDM components that will be required of The Project as part of its occupancy agreements, and that represent promotions and outreach activities of the Project Commute Program. 9.0 COMMUTE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND TENANT OUTREACH An active Project Transportation Coordinator (TC) and involved property management will generate positive impacts toward the success of the TDM goals and elements that are implemented. TDM should be viewed as a big picture process. It is important that the tenants see how both they and the community benefit (e.g., better air quality and less traffic congestion on the highways and in the surrounding neighborhoods, less parking hassle, cost savings for tenants, etc.). Synergistic measures that support these efforts include the transportation kiosk, tenant fliers, resource websites, promotional programs and incentives, marketing events, and tenant outreach. 9.1 On-site Transportation Coordinator (TC)/Resident Marketing and Outreach Prior to occupancy, the West Capitol Commons project will have a TC who will have the primary responsibility for implementing alternative commute programs and the elements outlined in this Plan. The TC may be a part-time employee, or an out-sourced coordinator, who manages the TMP programs and annual reporting. The TC will be responsible for; providing commute program assistance to residents, producing on-site transportation fairs and promotional events, collaborating with transit and rideshare organizations to maximize on -site resource, conducting the annual survey and producing the annual summary report. Commute industry data supports the notion that a TC has a very positive impact on increasing and maintaining alternative mode use. This position will be performed by a Property Manager as named by Wolff Enterprises II) Transportation Coordinator Responsibilities: 1. Implement programs found in this Transportation Management Plan. 2. Coordinate and manage various aspects of the Plan that require periodic updates or monitoring, resident acknowledgement forms, bicycle registration loan assignment and management. 3. Provide information and resource materials on the full range of transportation choices and programs available: • Yolobus and RT information (transit schedules and maps) • Bicycle information such as bicycle maps, new routes, etc. (available from Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), the Yolo TMA, and Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates) • Carpooling and ridematching information and resources (available from SacRegion511.org, SacRegionCommuterCiub.org, and YoloTMA.org) fi1"1. Page 24 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 • Commuter incentives posted in common areas (fitness center, community center, etc.) 4. The TC will work with each resident to ensure that they are receiving alternative transportation information as they occupy the project. Develop and maintain a project Commuter Web site to provide transportation resources and links to residents. Utilize weekly or periodic email updates to residents regarding program information. 5. Develop relationships with residents through on-site visits, transportation fairs and emails promoting commuter programs. Coordinate with the project leasing office to provide transportation information to prospective occupants. 6. Conduct an annual survey of resident commute methods for the entire development and distribute summarized results to the City of West Sacramento. Identify a work plan of additional or alternate measures for implementation in the event that survey data shows that the minimum 20 percent alternative mode use performance standard is not met. 7. Evaluate survey results for alternative transportation use and potential new rideshare candidates. 8. Promote telecommuting/teleworking. The TC must be provided with a copy of this TMP to be made aware of their responsibilities. The TC will attend training opportunities provided by any other local public agencies, or by the Yolo TMA. If the person or organization performing the duties of the TC changes, the City of West Sacramento must be informed and provide with the new contract information. 9.2 Trainer for Project Transportation Coordinator/On-call TOM Support As needed, The Project may obtain TDM program training and commute program assistance for their tenants. A TDM resource representative or consultant can provide additional training, planning assistance, implementation guidance, program support, and data collection and assessment. The overarching goals of this support function are to reduce commute trips for residents, formalize the project's commute programs, and assist with tenant marketing and outreach. The TDM resource consultant may assist The Project in the preparation of materials for new resident materials, production of commuter events, and coordination of carpool parties, commute e-news articles, property management assistance, and the annual transportation/Earth Day fair. 9.3 New Tenant Sustainability/Transportation Acknowledgement Form At the time of occupancy, all new tenants will be provided with the project Commuter Programs and Sustainability goals. They will also be asked to sign the acknowledgement form regarding the green mobility goals of the project and participation in the annual commute survey. A sample of this form is provided as an attachment. 9.4 New Tenant Transportation Survey At the time of occupancy, all new occupants will be asked to complete a short on-line survey to gauge their transportation needs and commute preferences. This quick survey will also connect the occupant with Yolo TMA resources, bicycle route maps, and SacRegion511.org ridematching sources. This survey also acts as an early opportunity to educate tenants about resources and benefits. Page 25 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 9.5 New Tenant Transportation and Commute Flier At the time of occupancy, all residents will be provided with a Tenant Transportation flier and Fact Sheet regarding the Project Commute Program.

This flier will include (but not be limited to) retail employee information about Yolo TMA subsidies, transit opportunities, commuter resources, bicycle routes, and the emergency ride home program. 9.7 Project Commute Website and Resources A comprehensive transportation and commute information website will be developed for project tenants. The website will contain additional transportation information, resources, and links, including promotions, incentives, Bay Area Spare the Air notices, ERH information, transit schedules, 511 ride-matching, and other related information. Sections of the transportation homepage for the tenant commute program are shown below along with enhancement graphics . ~ · -::.-- ...------.- ~ - -.- ~ Reg ional Transit ' ASUCD CITY OF DAVIS Sacramento Region SACRAMENTO AREA UN I TRANS ~?Rt lln~'~jl l Travel Info BICYCLE• ADVOC ATES ·.w.·.·.·.-.-.• I ,·t, •'ro 'I IO f ttDMf. .t'fAd •'lkf Page 27 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 9.8 Resident Transportation Advisory Committee {host quarterly meetings) Each quarter, the West Capitol Commons residents will be invited to participate in the Transportation Advisory Committee. The advisory meeting will be held at a time that is convenient for residents to attend such as in the evening or on a Saturday. The purpose of the advisory committee is to provide a dialog for transportation discussion related to the campus. This partnership with residents will further support the West Capitol Commons Commute Program. 10.0 RIDEMATCHING RESOURCES Car and vanpooling will be strongly encouraged at the West Capitol Commons project. The resident transportation flier will promote the free Personalized Matching Assistance (PMA) through the 511/SACOG Rideshare and Commuter Club programs. PMA provides individuals with a computerized list of other commuters near their school, employment or residential ZIP code, along with their closest cross street, phone number, and hours available to commute to and from work. Individuals are then able to contact and select others with whom they wish to car or vanpool. They will also be given a list of existing car and vanpools in their residential area they may be able to join. New carpoolers can receive short-term cash incentives for carpooling through the Yolo TMA TRIP program as detailed in section 11.2. SacRegion 511 SACOG partnered with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to launch a 511 transportation information system for the six-county Sacramento region in September 2004. The new 511 telephone number is accompanied by a new Web site at sacregion511.org. The telephone number and Web site gives commuters information they need to make better choices when planning trips. By calling in or logging on, commuters can get up-to-the-minute information about traffic conditions, public transportation options, ridesharing, and bicycling anytime, anywhere throughout the greater Sacramento area and northern California. 511 resources provide a one-stop telephone number and Website for traffic, transit, rideshare and bicycle information in the Sacramento region. The six-county Sacramento system is the second 511 service to go online in California. It also provides links to 511 systems in the Bay Area, Oregon and Nevada and will be available from any phone, provided the carrier supports 511. SacRegion Commuter Club Commuter Club is a program that offers free services for residents and commuters in the six county Sacramento Region. Commuter Club offers solutions to improve mobility, air quality and enjoyment of the region via a partnership with SACOG and regional outreach partners and non profit local entities including the Yolo TMA. Registered participants may be eligible for the Emergency Ride Home (ERH) program, Commute Cost Calculator, commute incentives, weekly drawings, and other benefits and services. Commuter Club is accessed at www.sacregioncommuterclub.org.

They help businesses, developers, building owners, local government representatives, and )Y(JJJ{1(7J] others work together to collectively establish policies, programs, and services Transportation Management Association to address local transportation problems. The key to TMAs lies in the synergism of multiple groups banding together to address and accomplish more than any one employer, building operator, developer, or resident. The following is a listing of services that the Yolo TMA will provide: • Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) Program • Start-up Subsidy Program (TRIP) for transit riders, carpoolers, vanpoolers, bicyclers and walkers • Online Personalized Matching links • Information on local issues • Resource links • Training • Newsletter l-i)3, Page 29 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 11.1 Property Owner/Property Management Annual TMA Membership The West Capitol Commons property owner will join the TMA. Once the project is constructed and property management is operating, the annual membership will be handled by the on-site property manager (or representative). The property owner and/or property managers will participate in the TMA, as an active member, to maintain current information, available training, and update incentives to share with residents. 11.2 Cash Subsidies for Pedestrians, Bicyclists, Carpoolers, and Transit Users The West Capitol Commons property management representative or TC will work directly with Yolo TMA staff to provide information to residents regarding available information, programs, and cash incentives. A one-time, short-term commute cash incentives program is currently offered by the Yolo TMA to provide residents with cash to carpool, van pool, walk, bike, or take transit to work. This program is called The Rideshare Incentive Program (TRIP). TRIP is designed to incentivize commuters out of their single occupant vehicle (SOV) by changing daily commute habits. TRIP participants earn financial incentives for a two or three-month period to use, or "sample," a rideshare alternative. Commuters who change their personal SOV driving habit commute pattern by switching to bicycle and/or walking are also included. At the end of a one year period there will be an additional incentive for those who have stayed with their commute choice. TRIP is funded by a grant from the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD). The goal of TRIP is to minimize SOV trips in and through Yolo County. Although TRIP incentives are short-term -two or three months- the effects are longer lasting. Once commuters have "sampled" ridesharing, they are very likely to appreciate its benefits, such as lower overall transportation costs and less commute stress, and continue to rideshare even after the incentive expires. Objectives include providing financial and tangible incentives to commuters who change their commute patterns and use a recognized alternative to the SOV. Residents choosing one of these alternative modes of transportation will be eligible for start-up cash to help subsidize their commute costs. A summary of commuter cash incentives are shown below. Incentive Program Cash Incentive Duration Other Bicycle $25/ month 3 months $25 rebate toward purchase of new bike Carpool $25/ month 2 months 1-year, $25 bonus toward car wash 1-year, $250 bonus incentive & certificate for Van pool $100/month 2 months vehicle wash 1-year, $75 bonus incentive & $25 certificate to Public Transit- bus $30/month 2 months local bookstore 1-year, $75 bonus incentive & roundtrip excursion Public Transit- train $30/month 2 months to San Francisco on Amtrak 1-year, $50 bonus incentive & $50 certificate to Pedestrian $10/month 3 months local shoe store Page 30 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 11.3 Quarterly On-site TMA Ridematching Meetings In coordination with the TMA, the West Capitol Commons project will host a quarterly on-site ridematching event (e.g., carpool party) to connect residents with other commuters at the campus for the purpose of carpooling to work. These events will be promoted via tenant newsletters, postcard reminders, and posters in the common areas of the campus. 11.4 Free Emergency Ride Home Program The West Capitol Commons Commute Program will provide a free guaranteed ERH program for residents who use alternative forms of transportation for their commute in West Sacramento. All tenants who commute to work using transit, bicycle, carpool or van pool, are guaranteed a free ride home in case of a personal emergency, or when they unexpectedly have to work late, thereby missing the last bus or their normal carpool home. The ERH program provides residents with peace of mind that comes from knowing that if a child or loved one becomes ill or injured during the day, the tenant can get to them quickly. The ERH program has proven very successful, as it removes one of the major objections tenants have to giving up their private automobile, especially those with young families. This program is a feature provided through membership of the Yolo TMA. The property management will maintain marketing and outreach to residents to educate them about the program's availability. ERH information will be included in all new tenant commute marketing materials, and resident newsletters. 12.0 ASSOCIATION FOR COMMUTER TRANSPORTATION MEMBERSHIP 9 The Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) supports individual mobility management professionals and organization members in their efforts to reduce traffic congestion, conserve At$CI(l"JontcrCommJ,Jt•rTr~rtttlo" energy, and improve air quality. Property Owner/Property Management Annual Membership Dues The West Capitol Commons property owner will join the Sacrament Valley Chapter of ACT. Once the project is constructed and property management is operating, the annual membership will be handled by the on-site property manager (or representative). The property owner and/or property managers will participate in ACT, as an active member, to maintain current information, available training, and update incentives to share with residents . 13.0 SACRAMENTO AREA BICYCLE ADVOCATES MEMBERSHIP10 The Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates (SABA) works to maintain, improve and expand bikeways, improve bicycle access, increase cycling safety through education, enforcement and hazard removal, get lockers and showers and workplaces and bike parking everywhere it is need and create a regional SACRAMENTO AREA BICYC•LE ADVOCATES 9 www.actweb.org 10 http:/ /sacbike.org/ Page 31 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 network of bike trails. Their work affects the health and livability of the entire Sacramento region. The West Capitol Commons project will become a member of SABA. Property Owner/Property Management Annual Membership Dues The West Capitol Commons property owner will join SABA. Once the project is constructed and property management is operating, the annual membership will be handled by the on-site property manager (or representative). The property owner and/or property managers will participate in SABA, as an active member, to maintain current information, available training, and update incentives to share with residents. 14.0 RESIDENT KICK-OFF TRANSPORTATION FAIR (AT SO% OCCUPANCY) The West Capitol Commons project will host a kick-off/welcome transportation fair, in tandem with Earth Day celebrations or a resident marketing campaign. The highlight of the event will be the West Capitol Commons Commute Program. Transportation and rideshare service providers (such as Yolobus, Yolo TMA, Sacramento Regional Transit, SacRegion 511, SacRegion Commuter Club, AMTRAK, Enterprise Vanpool, and the Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates) will also be invited to set up exhibit booths/tables. To encourage resident participation in the event, treats or food (e.g., popcorn, cookies, ice cream, or other refreshments) will be provided. Possible giveaways such as commuter mugs, water bottles, t-shirts may be included to further promote the event. The project will help set the date for the event and advertise the event at least one week in advance. 15.0 COMMUTER PROMOTIONAL PROGRAMS Throughout the year, property management will encourage tenant awareness by hosting other, smaller transportation fairs or events. These events will highlight transit and trip-planning services, rideshare matching, vanpooling, and other commute opportunities at the new site. The transportation events will bring together transit, transportation, bicycle, rideshare providers, and the West Capitol Commons Commute Program for a comprehensive presentation. Periodic rideshare articles will be written by the project TC for internal tenant newsletters with ongoing highlights of alternative commuters and their successes. Internal company notices and incentive promotions about Spare the Air (June through October), Bike to Work (May), and October Low-Car Challenge should attract attention of commuters, generate excitement about the use of commute alternatives, and reward those who rideshare. These promotions are often sponsored in conjunction with SacRegion511, the Commuter Club or the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD). The Project TC will register with the SMAQMD for the Spare the Air program and receives regional air quality forecast bulletins about poor and unhealthy air quality days. These direct e-mail updates are forwarded to all tenants to encourage the use of alternative transit modes during peak advisory periods. Page 32 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TM P November 8, 2012 15.1 Annual Spare the Air Transportation Fair As an annual event, The Project will host a commuter transportation event or fair. In addition to the Project Tenant Transportation Program, other transportation service providers (RT, Yolobus, 511, AMTRAK Train, Enterprise Vanpool, Commuter Check, and the Yolo TMA) will be invited to set up exhibit booths/tables. To encourage resident participation in the event, the West Capitol Commons may provide food (e.g., BBQ or popcorn, cookies, ice cream and/or prize drawings or give-a-ways (e.g., commuter mugs, water bottles, t-shirts, etc.). 15.2 Quarterly Transportation Promotions Other on-site event ideas and promotions may include Bike-to-Work Week, Yolobus Day, or October Low-Car Challenge. During the year, various transit and rideshare organizations will be invited to set up a marketing booth during and evening or weekend time and at a central location on-site to promote the alternative commute options available to tenants. Periodic on-site tabling would also be recommended throughout the year in concert with other local or campus events (e.g., tenant appreciation BBQ). 16.0 TRANSIT RESOURCES 16.1 Welcome Trial Transit Pass As a pilot program, new residents (who want to change their commuting habits) can receive a free trial one-month Yolobus transit pass from the TC or the property management. This pilot transit pass program will designate 100 monthly Yolobus fares for the first year. The second year will provide new residents with 75 trial passes, and the third year will provide 50 passes. Performance for the pilot pass program will require measurement of 60 percent use by residents. 16.2 Transit Trip Planners Online transit trip planning services are a useful tool for planning public transit trips. Yolobus has an on-line trip planner that makes it easy to plan a trip by public transit. Enter a starting time and destination addresses, the time of a desired arrival, and information will be provided that includes locations, route numbers, schedule, walking distance and cost. With one extra click it will even plan a return trip. The Yolobus Trip Planner can build an itinerary that suits the need of the transit user. The Trip Planner, by default, will generate the fastest itinerary between the origin and destination with the least amount of transfers. This free service can be found on-line at http://www.yolobus.com/. Page 33 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 17.0 CAR MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES Vehicle parking is often seen as a given component of renting an apartment or a home. It can be viewed as a right rather than a privilege. In addition, free parking is a benefit to people with vehicles. People without vehicles receive no benefit from free parking. 17.1 Unbundled Parking Costs The West Capitol Commons project will unbundle the cost of rental units and parking spaces of uncovered and detached carports. This will allow prospective tenants to choose a lower rent structure by eliminating the cost for a parking space. This rental incentive is meant to encourage renters to occupy the property without their vehicles. Itemizing parking costs in the rental agreement will help tenants better understand the value of not having a vehicle at the campus. 17.2 Early Access Rental Incentives for West Sacramento Employees Prior to the public grand opening of the West Capitol Commons project, employees at nearby employment sites, such as the Department of General Services and the California State Teacher's Retirement System, will be invited to an early tour and promotion of the facilities. Employees working at these nearby offices will be allowed early rental options before the general public. 18.0 CARSHARE APPLICATION PROGRAM (ZIPCAR) The West Capitol Commons project may coordinate a discounted or subsidized application fee for each new resident to participate in the carshare program. As parking for a carshare vehicle will be provided at or near the project, residents can utilize this as needed resources for their transportation. The project may fund the application fee for new residents (upon request) or subsidize a portion of the one-time application fee. Retail employees will also have access to Zipcar. Page 34 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 19.0 BICYCLE RESOURCES Bicycle commuters can log on to www.sacregionSll.org/bicycling/bikebuddy.html for a host of cycling information. The SacRegion 511 system also provides significant resources for bicycle commuters, including: • Bicycle maps • How to ride safely in traffic • Tips on commuting • Tips for bike selection • Links to bicycle organizations • Location of lockers • Bike to Work Day • How to take your bike on public transit The SABA website, www.sacbike.org, also provides significant resources for bicycle commuters. 20.0 E-CONCJERGE/MOBILE/DELIVERY CONVENIENCE AMENITIES Residents without personal vehicles can also find a comprehensive list of local providers who can deliver, perform, or offer on-demand and on-site supporting services via an e-Concierge Services link. The West Capitol Commons e-Concierge Services may include food, catering, groceries, pharmacy, pet care, banking, real estate, haircut, massage and salon, laundry and dry cleaning, house cleaning, errands, daycare, and many 1. other convenience vendors. In West Sacramento, there are several community supported agriculture (CSA) organizations including Del Rio Botanical and www.farmfreshtoyou.com. Residents can enjoy a regularly delivered box, at the project Club House, of fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs from the CSA. Other grocery delivery services include Safeway and Schwan's. Page 35 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 SECTION! HI - ENFORCEMENT, MONITORING1 AND REPORTING 21.0 COMMITMENTS, IMPLEMENATION, AND MONITORING A comprehensive program ofTDM measures and incentives can reduce parking demand, traffic, and air pollution creating a more sustainable employment environment, while freeing up valuable land for higher and better uses. According to the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA)'s newest greenhouse gas document, Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures, a ... ride share program could reduce the commute vehicle trips up to 15 percent. A program to limit the parking supply ... could reduce up to 12 percent of commute vehicle trip, and providing trip end facilities ... could likely reduce the commute vehicle trip up to five and six percent, respectively. Although the reductions are not additive, a combination of measures would have a global maximum cap likely ranging from 20 to 40 percent. 11 The intent of the West Capitol Commons Commute Program and TDM Plan is to reduce SOV trips and lessen parking demand, traffic congestion, and mobile source-related air pollution. In order to evaluate the performance and success of the Commute Program, it is important to ensure TDM measures are actually implemented and effective. Therefore, a monitoring program and annual reporting will be implemented. 21.1 Developer/Property Owner TMP Commitment The developer/property owner for the West Capitol Commons project will prepare a declaration that identifies their dedication to the resident commute program, survey efforts, and a funding for TDM resources, commuter outreach. This commitment will demonstrate the Project's embracement of commuter programs, sustainable mobility, and meeting the City's TMP goals. Upon approval of this TMP Plan, The Project will create a Declaration ofTMP Commitment to be included in its operating policies. A draft document is provided as an attachment 21.2 Notice of Implementation -As-built Matrix Within six months after receipt of the occupancy permit for the development, the project will submit to the Director of Community Development a TMP notice that confirms the installation of facilities and amenities and implementation of commute program features and events. A sample as-built matrix is provided as an attachment. 21.3 Annual Tenant/Resident Commute Survey A resident commute survey will be a critically important part of a monitoring process to determine the success or failure of TMP measures. At the request of the City of West Sacramento, this annual report, via results from a survey distributed and collected by the property management representative/TC, will provide quantitative data (e.g., mode split) and qualitative data (e.g., resident perception of the alternative transportation programs). Attempts will be made to survey residents. The initial or baseline TMP summary report will be conducted within one (1) year, following the granting of a certificate of occupancy for the project. 11 Available at: http://www.capcoa.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/ll/CAPCOA-Quantification-Report-9-14-Final.pdf Page 36 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 21.4 Annual Commute Summary Report A summary report based on results from the resident commute survey will be submitted to the City of West Sacramento. The initial, or baseline, commute survey report will be conducted one (1) year after the COO. The report will provide information about the level of resident alternative mode-uses. In the event the minimum 20 percent alternative mode-use performance standard is not met, the Project TC will identify a work plan that describes additional or alternate measures for implementation that will enhance the commute program. This work plan will be included as part of the summary report. The term of this TMP shall coincide with the term of the Development Agreement. TSMffMP Compliance Record All ..... developers shall compete and submit a TSM Compliance Record to the [City] TSM Administrator. The first TSM Compliance Record shall document acknowledgement of the TSM requirements. TSM Compliance Records filed thereafter shall document actual compliance with Section 17.67.041 of this [TSM] ordinance. The TSM Compliance Record shall be valid for a period of one (1) year and shall be renewed annually prior to or on the anniversary date of the first submission. 21.5 Code Enforcement and Non-Compliance Penalties Should the West Capitol Commons project not meet the terms of their TMP commitments to build infrastructure and implement commuter programs that support and encourage alternative transportation options; or if they do not submit the annual employee commute survey report West Sacramento code enforcement procedures will be implemented. 1. An "Advisory Letter" will be sent to the project owner notifying them of the violation and will include a time frame for compliance. 2. If the violation for TMP non-compliance is found to still exist, a "Notice of Violation" will be given. If the situation is not corrected, there are a variety of enforcement tools that can be used. Other tools may include: • Administrative Citation • Administrative Penalties • Criminal Citations • City Attorney Action (Permanent Injunction, Warrants, etc.) Failure to comply may result in charged fees. City officials have some discretion to extend the due dates when extenuating circumstances exist. Generally zoning inspections occur within three to four weeks from the time a complaint is received. The City of West Sacramento's Municipal Code identifies enforcement of the zoning ordinance and possible penalties for infractions or non compliance. Section 17.13.010 describes the enforcement process for the City to manage the requirements and compliance of the West Capitol Commons TMP. Page 37 West Capitol Commons- Draft Residential TMP November 8, 2012 Enforcement of Duties of Officials A. Director of Community Development. It is the duty of the director of community development to enforce the provisions of this title pertaining to the use of any land or structure, bulk, height and land coverage of structures, open spaces about structures and the dimensions and area of sites upon which structures are located. B. Other Officials. Requirements pertaining to health and sanitation, fire protection and building code regulations shall be enforced by the respective agencies which have jurisdiction in such matters. Whenever there is a conflict between the provisions of this title and other city, state and federal regulations, the more restrictive regulations shall apply. (Ord. 93-1 § 5 (part)) 21.6 Transportation Management Certificate This section is taken directly for the City's Zoning Chapter 17.67 Transportation Management Plans. 12 Upon city approval of the West Capitol Commons TMP, a transportation management certificate (TMC) will be issued. TMC will be valid for a period of one year from the date issued. The city SM administrator shall notify the applicant, in writing, of the decision to issue or not to issue the TMC. Renewal of certificate The TMC shall be renewed prior to or on the first anniversary date of the initial approval. In order to renew a TM( the developer shall submit to the city TSM administrator an annual status report. The annual status report shall describe the effectiveness of the previous TMP and the TMP proposed for the upcoming year. At a minimum, the annual status report shall contain the following information: A. An update and summary of the previous TMP; B. A summary of the progress achieved in meeting the annual trip reduction goal; C. TMP activities proposed for the upcoming year; D. The annual projected goals for the upcoming year. The city TSM administrator may require additional documentation. If the developer is unable to provide the required information the TSM administrator may require the developer to retain a consultant. The consultant shall submit the required information to the TSM administrator. If the annual status report indicates that the employer or the developer has achieved the goals of the TMP, a TMC shall be renewed. {Ord. 93-1 § 5 (part)). The city council shall by resolution prescribe fees for the issuance and renewal of TMCs. Such fees shall be used for the purpose of defraying costs incurred in the administration, monitoring and enforcement of this chapter.

This TMP Plan identifies specific elements, measures, and actions that guide the project to promote existing resources and programs, enhance future benefits, and create a resident-focused, campus-wide commute program. Significant on-site amenities, resident outreach, ongoing marketing and promotions, a free guaranteed emergency ride home program, periodic data collection and assessment, and a transportation coordinator will provide the needed support for an effective and successful program at the West Capitol Commons project. This TDM Plan describes TMP measures that will be integrated at the site to support tenant commuting and innovative measures identified for implementation. It outlines the steps necessary (infrastructure, outreach, and promotions) for the property owner and property management to use when marketing to the tenants and residents programs. Periodic program assessments will provide the information needed to demonstrate effectiveness and goal attainment. Performance assessments will also allow the West Cap itol Commons project to identify alternative or supplemental TDM measures and programs to implement if needed. The project is committed to achieve and maintain a minimum 20 percent tenant alternative mode use rate and strive for the ultimate 30 percent goal as outlined by the City of West Sacramento. The TMP Plan provides the details of this commitment. Ridesharing strategies are intended to maximize existing transportation resources, support the goals and objectives of City's General Plan, and ultimately expand the reach of the transit system for commuters. In order to be part of the transportation solution, this project contains the density and mass necessary to encourage the use of various alternative modes of transportation, including bicycling, carpooling, vanpooling, and public transit. This document emphasizes TDM infrastructure, amenities and outreach activities to cost-effectively reduce SOV trips. The City of West Sacramento has a long history of environmental stewardship in maintaining a safe, healthy, and sustainable city. It recognizes the importance of maintaining a stable climate system for current and future residents. By balancing these needs with economic growth, the West Capitol Commons project will help West Sacramento thrive as a community.
