ANNEX I
Project Description and Scope of Work
This Plan area is approximately two square miles and contains the highest concentration of mixed uses
and intensity of development in Marin County. The Plan area is highly developed with a diverse mix of
land uses and intensities, including:
The Plan area includes the highest density of rental housing in Marin County. The Canal neighborhood
demographic consists of primarily immigrant, Spanish-speaking community that provides workforce for
Marin County. While the Canal neighborhood is dynamic and vital, the community experiences
unacceptable rates of poverty, as well as overcrowded and unaffordable housing conditions. A large
portion of this neighborhood is also a federally designated Opportunity Zone. Preservation of affordable
housing stock for these residents is paramount.
This Plan area also contains most of the commercial services and industrial businesses that serve the
City of San Rafael and the greater Marin County population. The Plan area is the economic engine of
San Rafael, generating nearly two-thirds of San Rafael’s sales tax revenue and employing more than
12,000 people. It fills a critical niche in the Marin County economy, providing space for auto sales and
repair, building services and construction, home furnishings, and essential light industrial activities. The
Plan area is home to most of the essential public services and utilities that serve the City of San Rafael
and the greater Marin County. Preserving these uses is critical and important to the sustainability of the
County at large.
Lastly, the Plan area contains critical public transit and two key regional transportation networks, US101
and I-580, which converge within the Plan area.
The following scope of work outlines an approach for the preparation of a Specific Plan for the
Southeast San Rafael PDA area that articulates a clear vision to foster transit-oriented development,
enhance regional equity, and bring mobility, housing, and economic development opportunities to this
part of the City of San Rafael.
Task 1: Start Up
This task involves activities related to initiation of the Specific Plan, including a kickoff meeting and
development of a community engagement strategy.
1.1 Community Engagement Strategy: A Community Engagement Strategy tailored for the Specific
Plan will be developed. The Strategy will cover engagement activities as they relate to key
junctures during the course of the project. The focus of the strategy will be on providing
meaningful opportunities for public input into the development of the Plan and on actively
engaging a range of stakeholders—including residents, business owners, property owners, local
organized groups, community and faith-based organizations, schools, seniors, and youth
throughout the process. Successful outreach and engagement meets people where they are and
MTC/City of San Rafael
Master Funding Agreement
Supplement No. 4 – Southeast Specific Plan
Page 4
provides meaningful opportunities for input that influences outcomes. The Community
Engagement Strategy will show how engagement will influence outcomes at each phase and
include a range of tested and proven methods, including community meetings, workshops, and
listening sessions; pop-up outreach at events around the area; interactive online surveys; a
dedicated project website, social media engagement; and formal public meetings, as well as
activities engaging traditionally under-represented communities. The Community Engagement
Strategy will build off insights from prior community engagement, as summarized in the Plan
Audit, the Canal Alliance’s Nuestro Canal Nuestro Futuro project, and Community Action Marin’s
2025 Needs Assessment in order to reduce the risk of community engagement fatigue.
1.2 Technical Advisory Committee: AGENCY will convene a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
to advise on technical aspects of the Specific Plan and provide valuable insight on topics such as
sea level rise, mobility, housing, safety, and infrastructure. Members will include key staff from
AGENCY departments, MTC liaison and representatives from other affected agencies. A total of
three TAC meetings shall be held at key junctures during the course of the project, and the TAC
will review and provide feedback on key project deliverables, including the administrative draft
Specific Plan. The timing and objectives of each TAC meeting will be described in subsequent
tasks. TAC meetings will not be public meetings subject to the Brown Act, however, brief meeting
summaries will be prepared and posted to the project website in English and Spanish.
1.3 Project Kickoff Meeting: AGENCY’s consultant team will meet with AGENCY to review
objectives for the Specific Plan and community engagement, as well as the scope of work, budget,
and schedule. At the kickoff meeting we will identify data sources, clarify roles and
responsibilities, and establish communication protocols. Additionally, the kickoff meeting will be
an opportunity to review community engagement strategy components. Following the kickoff a
van/car/walking tour of the plan area will be conducted. Following the kickoff meeting and site
tour, a brief summary memorandum detailing attendees, topics discussed, and action items/next
steps will be produced. AGENCY will conduct a kickoff meeting with the MTC Project Manager
to confirm processes and expectations and clarify any outstanding questions.
• Deliverables:
1.1 Community engagement strategy
1.2 Kickoff meeting summary memorandum
Task 2: Community and Stakeholder Engagement
As identified in Task 1 (Final Community Engagement Strategy), key staff from the City of San
Rafael’s Economic Development Division, Library and Recreation Department, and Digital Service and
Open Government Department, as well as representatives from the School District in the plan area and
community-based organizations will be identified. The goal is to leverage community events that may
occur in or near the Plan area to inform residents about the Specific Plan and to gather input in a variety
of forums. At the end of the task a brief Community Engagement Report summarizing activities
completed and key findings will be prepared by the consultant.

2.1 Pop-up Outreach and or Community Listening Sessions: Two listening sessions/Pop- up
Outreach sessions will be held as part of this initial step at locations identified in Task 1. Materials
for these sessions shall be provided in English and Spanish and will include QR codes that link
participants to the dedicated City of San Rafael website which will have short surveys to ensure
that confidential responses are supported.
2.2 Community Workshop: Building on community input received at the listening sessions and initial
pop-up events, a list of issues that have been presented by stakeholders will be prepared. Materials
for the two workshops will include large-format display graphics summarizing issues identified and
next steps. This effort includes noticing, holding, and summarizing the event in English and
Spanish.
2.3 Website: As per the Final Community Engagement Strategy developed in Task 1, a project
website including project branding, text and graphic content will be developed and updated
regularly . Social media content will be developed to publicize engagement opportunities. The
project website will include a project overview and public content. Materials will be provided in
English and Spanish and be ADA compliant.
2.4 Decision-Maker Study Sessions: There will be two project study sessions – one with the
Planning Commission and one with AGENCY’s City Council – to review the Draft Specific Plan
and the community input that has informed it. The objective of the study sessions will be to
confirm the Specific Plan reflects AGENCY’s desired vision for the Southeast Specific Plan Area,
prior to commencing environmental review.
• Deliverables:
2.1 Meeting materials for three pop-up events
2.2 Meeting materials for two community workshops
2.3 Meeting materials for two decision-maker study sessions
2.4 Website
2.5 Three TAC meeting summaries
2.6 Outreach report - which includes an analysis of survey and engagement findings at
each stage of project (Task 3 and Task 4) and the two community workshops.
Task 3: Issues and Opportunities Identification
This task involves preparation of a series of memorandums summarizing existing conditions, issues, and
opportunities in the Southeast San Rafael Specific Plan Area. The memoranda will be reviewed with the
TAC, comprised of staff from AGENCY, MTC Project Manager, and other partner agencies, and refined
on the basis of TAC feedback. The findings of these memoranda as well as the outcomes of Task 2 will
inform development of Draft Specific Plan.

3.1 Existing Conditions Memorandum: This memorandum serves to provide a summary of the
previous planning efforts and existing conditions of the Plan Area. It would include a list of
previously adopted planning documents completed for the Southeast San Rafael Specific Plan
Area.
3.2 Priority Development Area Profile: A Priority Development Area (PDA) profile detailing the
demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the planning area will be prepared. The PDA
profile will characterize the population in the Plan Area (age, ethnicity, language spoken, place of
birth, disability, employment, place of work, income and poverty, travel mode to work, commute
patterns, ownership map and vehicle availability) using information from the U.S. Census and the
General Plan/Housing Element, and GIS database.
3.3 Market Conditions and Trends Report: A comprehensive Market Conditions and Trends Report
analyzing economic, demographic, and land use trends within the plan area will be prepared. This
report will include mapping and assessing key community assets such as workforce development
programs, job centers, medical and community facilities, grocery stores/access to food, recreational
amenities, schools, childcare centers, gathering spaces, and cultural venues. The report will identify
gaps in services and amenities, highlight emerging trends, and propose strategies to address
deficiencies in the context of rising sea levels. It will also include a preliminary analysis of fiscal
impacts, such as sales tax generation, contributions to the General Fund, and a comparative
financing strategy outlining how different land use alternatives support long-term municipal
revenue.
3.4 Affordable Housing/Anti-Displacement Strategy: An affordable housing/anti-displacement
strategy will be developed to help ensure a range of housing options that are affordable to
households of all income levels will be available within the Southeast San Rafael Specific Plan
area. The strategy will describe the existing demographic and housing profile of the area, quantify
the need for affordable housing, and identify specific affordable housing goals for the Specific
Plan. The strategy will address the following:
1. Assessment of existing conditions, including the existing population, housing
characteristics, and market conditions as drawn from the market assessment, and relevant
policies.
2. Quantification of affordable housing need by income level for existing and future
population.
3. Identification of goals and objectives.
4. Location and generalized types of units to be developed in the plan area.

Task 4: Alternatives Evaluation
This task involves preparation of up to three land use and circulation alternatives that respond to the
existing conditions, issues, and opportunities identified in Task 3, as well as input received from the
initial community outreach and engagement events. The alternatives will be represented conceptually
with illustrations and examples to facilitate understanding and presented to the community for feedback.
Based on the community input received, a Preferred Plan will be developed to reflect community
preferences and priorities and reviewed with the TAC.
4.1 Land Use and Circulation Alternatives: Up to three (3) land use and circulation alternatives
based on the analysis and public input gathered to date. Focusing on specific vacant and
underutilized opportunity sites within the Specific where redevelopment is foreseeable, the
alternatives will be designed to explore options for land use mix; density and development
intensity; economic development; connectivity, multimodal mobility, and streetscapes; and the
public realm. The alternatives will be presented in a series of maps, graphics, and images with
accompanying text, so the information is concise, inviting to look at, and easily understood.
Projections for net new housing units, population, and non-residential square footage will be
developed for each alternative.
Seek Input on the Alternatives: The alternatives will be reviewed with the TAC and refined as needed
prior to the community workshop described in Task 2.
4.2 Preferred Plan: Based on the community input received, a Draft Preferred Plan will be developed
to reflect community preferences and priorities. The Draft Preferred Plan will contain the following
components:
• Vision Statement - reflecting community aspirations for the Southeast San Rafael Specific Plan
Area in view of identified issues and opportunities.
• Land Use and Circulation Map - illustrating the desired mix of land uses, densities and
intensities, and the circulation improvements needed to support them.
• Conceptual Renderings - representing the future physical form and character of development at
two key opportunity sites along the Southeast San Rafael Specific Plan Area, including
associated streetscapes.
• Equity Assessment - outlining issues and strategies to address equity issues, based on previously
completed analysis including the housing needs assessment and affirmatively furthering fair
housing analysis completed as part of the Housing Element.
