Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development Committee - 6/10/2025 - Agenda Item D2

The City of Oxnard's Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development Committee discussed a proposed agreement to prepare a transit-oriented development high-quality transit corridor specific plan. This initiative is funded by a SCAG REAP 2.0 grant awarded in October 2023, totaling over one million dollars, aimed at promoting housing infill and infrastructure improvements along designated transit corridors. The grant requires no city financial match, and the city is negotiating contract terms with Gruin Associates for a two-year agreement not to exceed $1,756,560. The contract's execution is contingent upon grant extension approval from SCAG, with the city prepared to terminate agreements if the extension is not granted. The plan supports housing element programs and the city's climate action goals by accelerating infill development and enhancing transit-oriented infrastructure.
