How Does Parks And Recreation Make My Life Better?
PLAY:
POSITIVE SPACES: Free-time fun – My neighborhood
park is more than a place to chill. It keeps me thinking straight
and away from trouble. It’s free -- and it’s really fun.
NATURE:
GATHERING PLACES: Socializing and learning – Parks
are like holidays, bringing us together to share good times. They
are the common ground that connects us all.
Safe, outdoor space – For us, the biggest benefit
is a safe, outdoor play space for our kids today… and as
they grow.
Beauty and serenity – Being in nature makes
me feel alive. I feel lucky to have this beautiful, serene
place so close to home. I want my grandkids to have the
same appreciation for parks.
EXERCISE:
Healthy movement – Parks are made for
moving at my own pace – our family walks, plays and cycles. The recreation programs make it easy to stay healthy.
FOREVER: Valued today and always – Parks enrich our lives.
They add value to our homes and neighborhoods. Individually
and as a community, we’ll always have that need.
The Emeryville City News and Activity Guide is published three times a year by the City of Emeryville.
The guide is printed by Casey Printing using recycled ink, a recycled paper cover, uncoated text pages, and no heat set presses to keep this issue green.

YOUTH & TEEN PROGRAMS
LEADERS IN TRAINING (L.I.T.)
The Emeryville Recreation Center’s L.I.T. program is a youth leadership
course designed to offer employment readiness to teens. L.I.T.’s are
volunteers between the ages of 14-17 years old. They will work with
certified Recreation Leaders to learn the art of community leadership.
L.I.T.’s are often later hired as Recreation Leaders based on the leadership skills they have gained during their assignments with us. Staff
will also provide L.I.T.’s with a working reference when they are ready
to enter the workforce.
This year the L.I.T. program will offer two five-week sessions. Youth
who are accepted will be assigned to one of the sessions, with up to
12 youth per session. Each session will provide opportunities to gain
life skills, career training, job shadowing, and community service.
How Do I Apply?
Interested youth should complete the L.I.T. application. You can pick
up an application at the Emeryville Recreation Center. All applicants
will be interviewed by the L.I.T. Program Coordinator as interviews are
the first step into job readiness. Application Deadline is May 6, 2016.
(Mandatory training dates for every youth leader 6/20-6/24)

MOBILITY MATTERS
PROVIDE RIDES FOR
SENIORS!
NEW NAME —
SAME GREAT SERVICE.
Senior Helpline Services feels so strongly that mobility matters to
each of us that the agency has changed its name to Mobility Matters.
Those of us who drive often forget there are others in our
neighborhoods that are unable to get to their medical appointments
or get groceries without assistance. If you have time to donate a
few hours a month, you could improve the lives of local seniors by
helping maintain independence and freedom. Become a volunteer
driver with the Rides for Seniors Program. Volunteers must be:
good drivers, 25–75 years old, have a licensed, insured vehicle in
good condition to use to provide rides, attend a 3 hour training
session, undergo a background check and agree to provide an
occasional ride to an ambulatory senior. Mileage reimbursement will
be provided upon request.
Call Victoria Williams, Program Manager, Alameda County Rides
for Seniors at 510-928-7433 for more information.

EMERYVILLE CITY NEWS
Bike to Work Day is Thursday
May 12, 2016
COME OUT AND RIDE!
Everyone on a bicycle is welcome for Bike to Work Day. Biking your
kids to school? Heading to work? Stop by for some refreshments and
bikey gifts. The City of Emeryville welcomes you to ride with your
neighbors and meet fellow cyclists!
Volunteer at an Energizer Station! Call City of Emeryville at 510-5963795, or for outside Emeryville, call Bike East Bay 510-845-7433.
Volunteers will be stationed at Energizer Stations all around the Bay,
handing out morning refreshments and free gifts, counting cyclists
for the two hour morning commute. Why do we count riders on Bike
to Work Day? Because it helps quantify the demand for bicycling
infrastructure, and justifies funding and spending on projects like
bike lanes, racks, signage and more. Join the fun! Stop by an Energizer Station, and pick up your FREE commemorative bag with bike
goodies inside. The City’s five Energizer Stations will be open from
7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Where to find an Energizer Station:
• Frontage Road at Powell St. (Shell Gas Station) (northwest corner @ the Shell Gas Station)
See Click Fix!
Emeryville, California
is a SeeClickFix partner!
The new mobile app will allow citizens, residents and visitors
to report problems such as potholes, graffiti, drainage and
flooding quickly and easily via web tools and mobile apps.
These reports are then forwarded directly to departments
throughout the city with all the information needed to get
the job done.
Furthermore, the platform offers a centralized and integrated
management system, whereby city officials can communicate with citizens, track issues and monitor success. This
unified and citizen-connected platform will increase both the
quality and efficiency of service throughout Emeryville.
• Greenway at 65th St. (south side of 65th St.)
• 40th St. at San Pablo Ave. (next to Black and White Liquor)
• Adeline at 46th St. (2 stations, both sides of Adeline)
Check our bike/pedestrian program page www.emeryville.org/
BikePed for the latest on Bike to Work Day 2016.
NOT RIDING YET?
Many cyclists got their start on past Bike to Work Days, and many
have benefitted from the free classes offered for novice or experienced cyclists. Many topics are covered, but safety is always center
stage. Bike East Bay provides lots of free online videos and FREE
classes: https://bikeeastbay.org/NewCyclists. Learn how to bike with
your children, about riding in the rain, hauling your stuff and lots
more.
The mobile app is available for download on Android and
iPhone. In addition to the mobile apps, residents can send
reports to the city using the widget on the city’s website and
seeclickfix.com.
BE READY FOR ANY CONDITIONS:
We look forward to working with the city and residents
to promote openness, engagement, and accessibility!
To learn more about SeeClickFix, head to gov.seeclickfix.com.
•Consider adding a rack and side bag or basket for hauling
your stuff
•Always wear a helmet
•Use a white light in front, red in back for night biking
•For no-excuse biking-in-the-rain, consider wearing rain pants, in
addition to your rain jacket and hood or helmet cover

CITY OF EMERYVILLE · SUMMER 2016 CITY NEWS
Bike Share Coming to
Emeryville
A regional bike sharing program like New York’s Citibike
and Seattle’s Pronto is coming to Emeryville in 2016!
Motivate, the company behind both of those systems
– and many others – is rolling out a Bay Area system in
Emeryville, Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, and San
Jose that will include 7,000 bikes at approximately 700
locations throughout the region. The system’s sponsor
and name will be announced soon.
Bike share is a healthy, environmentally-friendly, flexible and convenient system that helps people make short trips without their cars,
and helps make transit work by providing the “last mile” transportation to and from homes, workplaces, retail, and recreational destinations. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions from transportation,
adds to the vibrancy of the community, and gives a boost to local
businesses. The system works on a membership model – an annual
membership costs $149 and provides an unlimited number of trips of
30 minutes or less anywhere in the five-city system. Shorter-duration
memberships may also be available, and there will be discounted
rates and monthly options for those with qualifying incomes.
A public outreach effort including community meetings and a website (suggest.bayareabikeshare.com) soliciting ideas for station siting
have been underway and will continue through 2016.
Emeryville will start with ten stations and approximately 100 bikes.
The 400 bikes in Berkeley and 850 in Oakland will interconnect with
our stations and will provide many opportunities for connection,
including at both of the BART stations nearest to Emeryville. These
stations and bikes are entirely funded by Motivate, at no cost to
the cities. Additional stations may be added in the future either at
the City’s or property owners’ option and expense or as part of new
development projects.
Horton Street
Traffic Calming
The Horton-Overland Bike Boulevard is, along with the Doyle Street
Greenway, one of Emeryville’s main north-south bike routes. In response
to increasing volumes and speeds of traffic on Horton Street, which are
above the levels recommended in the City’s 2012 Pedestrian and Bicycle
Plan, a traffic calming effort was discussed at the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Advisory Committee (BPAC) and in a series of community meetings. The
City is working with Alta Planning + Design to identify the best methods
to slow traffic down on Horton Street. Slower vehicle traffic will make the
street more comfortable and safer for cyclists, and it will also discourage
the use of the route as a cut-through during the rush hour commute.
With the help of the community and the BPAC, Alta Planning + Design
will provide plans to the City for a temporary installation of calming
measures that may include speed humps or tables, road narrowings,
medians, and/or re-striping. The temporary measures are expected
to be in place for a year or more, after which time the City will solicit
community input again to review the outcomes of the experimental
treatments and plan more permanent traffic calming measures.
This project is funded by a grant from the Alameda County
Transportation Commission using funding from Measure B, the
half-cent transportation sales tax.

Update on Climate Change Projects
Street Tree Carbon Sequestration
Thanks to an effort by the City to increase the number of street trees in Emeryville, 749 new trees were planted in the past ten years, bringing
our total number of street trees to 3,988. Last year alone, these trees sequestered (removed from the air) more than half a million pounds of
carbon, a 68% increase from 2004. This is approximately equivalent to taking 66 cars off the road for the year!
Emeryville’s Low Carbon Footprint
A joint study between University of California Berkeley’s CoolClimate Network and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District was released
in December 2015, analyzing the Bay Area’s carbon emissions. The study found that Emeryville has the lowest per-household carbon footprint
in the Bay Area. This consumption-based greenhouse gas inventory is the most granular carbon footprint assessment in the world and takes
into account each household’s energy use, transportation, food, goods, services, construction, water, and waste. Read more about it at http://
news.berkeley.edu/2016/01/06/new-interactive-map-compares-carbon-footprints-of-bay-area-neighborhoods/.
Climate Action Plan Update
Hoi-Fei Mok was hired as a CivicSpark Americorps Fellow for 2015-2016 to update the City’s 2008 Climate Action Plan, extending the plan to
include 2030 and 2050 targets as well as taking advantage of more up-to-date data and lessons learned. This process includes conducting
a greenhouse gas inventory, developing new climate initiatives, incorporating adaptation and resilience, and reaching out to the larger Emeryville community. A full draft of the Climate Action Plan is expected by end of summer for public review. Find out more about CivicSpark at
http://civicspark.lgc.org/.
Sustainability Website Launched
Emeryville recently launched its new sustainability website at XYZ. Check it out for actions you can take on saving water or calculating your
carbon footprint, information on saving money with the latest rebates and energy efficiency incentives, and resources for learning more about
environmental sustainability!
Compact of Mayors
Launched at the 2014 United Nations Climate Summit, the Compact of Mayors is the world’s largest coalition of city leaders addressing climate
change by pledging to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, tracking their progress, and preparing for the impacts of climate change. This
past fall, Emeryville joined the pledge as one of 447 cities world-wide that have committed to fighting climate change. Find out more at www.
ci.emeryville.ca.us/1053/Sustainability.
Measure B/Measure BB and
Vehicle Registration Fee
Local Streets and Roads Program Update
Each year the City of Emeryville receives approximately $490,000 for
Local Streets and Roads projects from the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) from three voter approved funding
sources; Measure B, Measure BB, and the Vehicle Registration Fee.
The city uses these funds for routine street maintenance and the
ongoing citywide street rehabilitation project. Depending on the location, condition, and use of the street, various pavement rehabilitation strategies, including full depth reconstruction, grind and overlay,
cracksealing, and slurry/cape sealing, are implemented to improve
roadway condition and performance.
In Fiscal Year 2015/2016, the Street Rehabilitation Project scope included grinding and paving Hollis Street from Powell to the northern
City Limit, 65th Street from the Emeryville Greenway to the western
City Limit, Vallejo between 65th Street and Peabody Lane, and Ocean
Avenue between Vallejo Street and Hollis Street.
28
Future pavement maintenance and rehabilitation project locations
that will use this funding include portions of Adeline Street south of
40th Street, streets east of Adeline Street, 45th Street east of Hollis,
Stanford Avenue east of Hollis, 55th Street, Vallejo, Doyle and Beaudry
streets south of Powell, 50th Street, 61st Street, 64th east of Overland,
and 65th Street between Overland and the Emeryville Greenway.
For more information about ACTC’s Local Streets and Roads Program please visit: http://www.alamedactc.org/.
Emery Go Round Shuttle
Property Based Improvement District (PBID)
Frequently Asked Questions
1.WHAT IS THE EMERY GO ROUND SHUTTLE (EGR)?
Emery Go Round (EGR) shuttle is a no-fee service that connects the
City to the MacArthur BART Station; provides connectivity through
the City; and connects to the West Berkeley shuttle (at Berkeley Bowl
West). In 2014, the EGR had almost 1.7 million boardings.
2. HOW IS THE EGR FUNDED?
The EGR is primarily funded through the Emeryville Property and
Business Improvement District (PBID) – which is a special assessment
fee placed on commercial/retail/industrial parcels as well as residential (rental and home-ownership) parcels in the City.
A PBID is a special tax assessment district. As a special assessment
district, the services/programs/projects provided through assessment fees must have special benefit to the properties assessed. In
the case of the proposed PBID, the special benefit is access to the
Emery Go Round shuttle.
4. HOW IS THE PROPOSED PBID ASSESSMENT LEVY
DETERMINED?
An assessment engineer determines the general vs. special benefit
conferred by the proposed PBID and then calculates the special benefit for each parcel. General benefit is benefit that is not associable
to any parcel within the proposed assessment district (for example,
benefit received from parcels located in Oakland that have access
to the EGR) and such costs cannot be included in the proposed
assessment district.
For the new PBID, the special benefit for each parcel was determined
by an assessment engineer according to the trips generated by specific land use. Parcels that have high trip generation land uses (such
as retail centers and banks) have been assessed higher than lower
trip generation land uses (such as warehouses or light industrial). In
addition, each parcel’s assessment levy is further weighted according to whether the parcel is within ¼ mile a stop along a 7-day or
5-day route.
The Emery Go Round PBID was initiated by the City, ratified by the
City’s property owners through a mail in ballot process, and then
approved by the City after a public hearing.
Ballots were mailed to every property owner and each ballot indicated the proposed assessment levy for each parcel owned. Ballots
were weighted according to the assessment to be paid by each
parcel. Ballots representing 71.25% of the cast ballots (as weighted
according to assessment fee to be paid by each property owner) approved the PBID, while ballots representing 28.75% of the weighted
ballots cast protested the PBID.
7. WHAT IS THE ASSESSMENT FEE?
3. WHAT IS A PROPERTY AND BUSINESS
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (PBID)
5. HOW WAS THE PBID ESTABLISHED?
6. WHAT WERE THE RESULTS OF THE PBID
BALLOT PROCESS?
The PBID management plan and assessment engineer’s report
includes the proposed assessment levy for each parcel by parcel
number and site address based upon the trips generated according
to each parcel’s land use and route access. The proposed management plan and assessment engineer’s report can be downloaded
from the City’s website: www.emeryville.org or obtained through
the City Clerk’s Office.
Residential property owners (home ownership parcels in multi-unit
complexes) who live within ¼ mile of a 7-day EGR route stop pay
$111.49 per year; within ¼ mile of a 5-day route stop pay $79.60 per
year. Property owners who own a stand alone single family home
pay either $171.52 or $122.47 (7 vs. 5 day route). Commercial property owners pay according to the specific land use as outlined in the
PBID management plan/assessment engineer’s report.
8. WHEN WILL THE PBID ASSESSMENT FEE
BE LEVIED?
The PBID assessment levy would be placed on the property tax rolls,
starting in Fiscal Year 2015-2016.
9. HOW WILL PBID BE GOVERNED?
The Emeryville Transportation Management Association (TMA)
is responsible for operating the PBID. The TMA consists of all of
the property owners that are assessed by the PBID (the general
members). Decisions are made by the TMA Board and/or the general
members according to the TMA bylaws. The PBID management
plan states that the Board composition and bylaws must be based
upon an equitable representation of all stakeholders (residential and
commercial property owners) and that the City must approve the
TMA Board composition and bylaws by incorporation into the TMA/
City agreement. The TMA/City agreement is the basis for the TMA to
receive PBID funds for operating the shuttle and is scheduled to be
approved by the City Council in November/December 2015.

Update on Development Proposals
MARKETPLACE MIXED-USE REDEVELOPMENT
MarketPlace development project has been approved. The approved
portions are 456 housing units including 50 affordable units, a grocery store and 39,000 square feet of other retail space, realignment
of Shellmound Street with stores on both sides, a grand staircase to
the Amtrak Station over the railroad tracks, and redesign and expansion of Christie Avenue Park. A Planning Commission hearing for a
parking garage and additional retail between Shellmound Street and
the railroad tracks was scheduled for February 2016.
ANTON EMERYVILLE RESIDENTIAL PROJECT ON
“NADY’ SITE
The Planning Commission has certified the Environmental Impact
Report for the Anton Emeryville residential project on the Nady Site,
a 167-unit project on Shellmound Street at 67th Street. Study
sessions on the project were held in December 2015 and January
2016. The project was tentatively scheduled for approval at the
March 24th meeting.
STANFORD HEALTH CENTER IN EMERY STATION
GREENWAY BUILDING
Stanford is working on interior building improvements at the northeast corner of Hollis and Powell. Over 82,000 square feet of vacant
space will be modified for outpatient medical services. Proposed
exterior changes, including a protective canopy over the sidewalk
and a curbside valet service, will be reviewed by the Planning Commission in spring.
SHERWIN WILLIAMS URBAN VILLAGE
(Square Foot)
This Planned Unit Development (PUD) on the former Sherwin
Williams paint factory site is in planning application processing. Environmental Impact Report analyzed three alternatives - The Existing
Base Zoning/General Plan Development alternative, the Reduced
Density alternative, and the Lennar alternative. The Planning Commission hearing for the project is expected in summer.
MULTI-UNIT RESIDENTIAL BUILDING ON 65TH
In October 2015, the Planning Commission held a study session for a
proposed 24 unit residential building on 65th Street, east of the greenway. All proposed units have two or three bedrooms. A Planning
commission hearing is expected in the spring.
30
For more information on these projects, you can contact
Senior Planner Miroo Desai at [email protected] or
510-596-3785. Planning Commission agendas are at
www.emeryville.org/104/Planning-Commission.
Development Regulations Change
RESIDENTIAL REGULATIONS AND BONUSES
The City has new rules for multi-unit residential development projects. Projects must include at least 50% two-or-more bedroom units, including at least 15% three-or-more bedroom units. All projects with 10 or more units must meet the Family-Friendly site and building design
guidelines, and all required two-or-more bedroom units must meet Family-Friendly unit design guidelines. To get development bonuses,
residential projects must provide affordable units in the project.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IMPACT FEE
The developer impact fee for affordable housing has increased. Now a developer of a rental residential project must pay $28,000 per unit into
the City’s affordable housing fund, or build affordable units in the project instead of paying the fee.
SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURES
The City Council has adopted a map, list and photos showing what structures are considered significant and require City Council approval for
demolition. The map, list and photos are at http://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Emeryville/#!/emeryville09/Emeryville095.html#9-5.1210.
For information on planning regulations please contact the Planning Division at (510) 596-4362 or email Assistant Planner Sara Billing at
[email protected].

Summer Safety Tips
When the weather begins to heat up so does crime. Here are
some tips to keep your home safe:
• Install deadbolt locks with a 1” metal bar on all non-sliding exterior doors.
• Garage doors should always be closed and locked.
• Keep all doors and windows closed and securely fastened.
• Store tools and ladders out of sight and locked away.
• Make sure the perimeter of your home is well lit.
• Create the illusion you are home by using timers on lights, radios,
or televisions.
• Leave a vehicle parked in your parking area.
• Do not leave a message on an answering machine or social media
indicating you are away from home.
• See something, Say something. Get to know your neighbors and have each
other’s contact information in case of emergencies.
• Most crimes are crimes of opportunity; eliminate the opportunity cut
down the crime.
• Report suspicious persons to the police at (510) 596-3700, or if you witness
a burglary, please call 9-1-1.

Warriors Forward Draymond Green Pins New
Emeryville Police Officer!
The Emeryville Police department has 36 Police Officers and has welcomed a few new faces to the wear the
star. One of our newest Officers is Jaime Pardo.
Ofc. Pardo was raised in East Bay. Ofc. Pardo’s mentors growing up were his grandfather and his youth baseball coach who both happened to
be members of the Hayward Police Department.
These two strong mentors happened to both be in law enforcement and had such a positive impact on Ofc. Pardo’s life. Ofc. Pardo knew he
wanted to be the role model for someone else in the world.
Ofc. Pardo did his research and found his home in the Emeryville Police Department. Ofc. Pardo graduated the Police Academy at the Alameda
County Regional Training Center. Ofc. Pardo hopes to become an experienced patrol officer and develop into a detective. When Ofc. Pardo is
not studying and earning his degree in Business Administration, he is watching the Golden State Warriors.
On 12/15/15 Ofc. Pardo was sworn in by Chief Tejada. As luck would have it, Golden State Warrior, Draymond Green was accepting the key
to the City of Emeryville and was more than happy to pin Ofc. Pardo’s star badge on his uniform. The Emeryville Police Department was very
impressed with Mr. Green’s wonderful support. Go Warriors!

BUSINESS LICENSE CERTIFICATES AND FEES

returns under 26 U.S.C. §6033 (a)(2) are exempt from the payment of
business license taxes. However, such organizations must still receive and
maintain a current business license and are subject to an annual renewal

Looking for Down Payment
Assistance to Purchase a
Home in Emeryville?
The City of Emeryville has two down payment assistance programs to assist income-eligible, first-time homebuyers to purchase
residential units in Emeryville through “silent” second mortgages. These low-interest, deferred-payment second mortgages can be
used to reduce the amount needed to borrow from a primary mortgage lender, reducing monthly mortgage costs.
The two programs are CalHome, available to low-income or below households, and the First Time Homebuyer Loan (FTHB) program,
available to households earning at or below moderate income. CalHome may be used to purchase either market-rate or below-market-rate units, while the FTHB program may only be used for the purchase of market rate units.
The table below summarizes the programs:
CalHome
First Time Homebuyer Loan
Interest Rate
3%
75% of first mortgage interest rate
Loan Amount
Up to $58,000
Average $50,000
Income Limits
by Household Size
Low-Income or Below
Moderate Income or Below
1 person
$50,150
$78,550
2 person
$57,300
$89,750
3 person
$64,450
$101,000
4 person
$71,600
$112,200
In either program, the borrower must make at least a 3 percent down payment and occupy the unit as a primary residence during
the duration of the loan term. The loan is due upon sale, transfer, when the unit ceases to be owner-occupied, or in 30 years,
whichever comes first.
The City currently has over $1.5 million available in funding for the CalHome program
and $150,000 available in the FTHB program.
The funds from the CalHome program must be expended by October 2016. For more information on these programs please
contact the City’s Affordable Homeownership Programs Consultant, at (510) 596-4303 or [email protected].
