DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Resource Management recommends that the Board of Supervisors:

SUMMARY:
The Solano360 Specific Plan for the Fairgrounds property includes plans and requirements for various transportation, transit, and parking improvements. In 2023, the Department of Resource Management was selected for a $2.1 million competitive federal grant award through the One Bay Area Grant 3 (OBAG 3) program for the first phase of the Solano360 Mobility Hub (Project). The Mobility Hub improvements include a new parking area, electric vehicle charging stations, and a transit stop near the northern portion of the Fairgrounds property along Sage Street consistent with improvements anticipated in the Specific Plan (See attached Specific Plan Land Use and Parking, Attachment A). The Mobility Hub anticipates including a parking structure in a future phase once other portions of the Solano360 Specific Plan are developed.
In order to facilitate use of OBAG 3 federal grant funds, Solano County must commit to planning goals and requirements established by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). MTC requires agencies receiving OBAG 3 funds adopt a resolution of Local Support which commits a jurisdiction to the requirements within. With the Board's adoption of the resolution (Attachment B), the Department of Resource Management will execute all documents necessary to facilitate use of the federal grant funds for the Project.
