ATTACHMENT E <br />Comparative Summary of Approaches to Implement SB 79 in Peer Jurisdictions <br />SB 79 applies to counties in the Bay Area with Tier 1 and Tier 2 transit stops. The table below summarizes the approaches to SB 79 implementation <br />of several peer jurisdictions in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. <br /> <br />Jurisdiction <br /># of SB 79 <br />Transit <br />Stops <br />Applying Baseline <br />SB 79 Obligations? <br />Temporary Parcel <br />Exclusion from <br />SB 79 Obligations? <br />TOD <br />Alternative <br />Plan? <br />Notes <br />Santa Clara 5 Yes No No <br />Santa Clara is not seeking to exclude sites from <br />SB 79 applicability or develop a TOD <br />Alternative Plan. Most sites in the SB 79 <br />eligibility area are either zoned for industrial <br />use and thus not subject to SB 79 applicability <br />or currently have higher development <br />capacity than SB 79 mandates. <br />San Mateo 3 Yes To be <br />determined No <br />San Mateo is currently developing a <br />comprehensive zoning code update to align <br />with its 2040 General Plan. The City is still <br />considering its response to SB 79. <br />South San <br />Francisco 2 Yes To be <br />determined <br />To be <br />determined <br />South San Francisco is applying SB 79 “as-is” <br />and does not currently have plans for <br />exclusions or TOD alternative plan. <br />Sunnyvale 9 Yes, on sites not <br />eligible for exclusion Yes To be <br />determined <br />Sunnyvale has temporarily excluded its <br />Murphy Station Heritage Landmark District <br />from SB 79 applicability. <br />Mountain <br />View 5 <br />Yes, on sites not <br />eligible for exclusion <br />until local standards <br />and/or TOD <br />Alternative Plan are <br />adopted <br />Yes Yes <br />Mountain View is preparing an ordinance <br />focused only on temporarily excluding sites <br />with locally designated historic resources <br />from SB 79 applicability by early 2027. SB 79- <br />specific objective standards would also be <br />prepared in 2027. After these work efforts are <br />completed, a TOD alternative plan would be <br />pursued focused on Area H of the Downtown <br />Precise Plan (other areas may also be <br />considered). <br />8.A. - Page 72 of 97 <br />290
