Meetings: CAC #3 - Review Market Demand CAe #4 - Field Trip Community Workshop A TASK3: LAND USE ALTERNATIVES Based on comments received during the CAC meetings, the community workshop, and additional meetings held with City staff, as well as the findings of the two previous tasks, the BMS Team will prepare at least three land use alternatives for the project area that focus on the identified opportunity sites. The alternatives will be assessed for their development potential including preliminary pro fonna analyses. 3.1 Prepare Alternative Land Use Plans 3.1.1 Framework Plan As an initial step, the framework plan will build upon the existing framework of San Leandro - the pattern of streets, transportation corridors, and major open spaces to define how future development can be placed. Some variations on the framework plan may be proposed as needed. 3.1.2 Land Use/Development Alternatives A minimum of three land use alternatives will be prepared. The land use scenarios will take into account the projected market for uses, considering the size and strength of the overall market, as well as the ability of new and well-designed projects located in the area and served by transit to shift demand from less competitive areas. 3.1.3 Development Prototypes and Capacity Analysis Up to three development prototypes will be illustrated to convey the intent regarding building intensity and density, development pattern, setbacks, architectural and urban design character, and overall image of the area from within and from outside the study area. These prototypes will reflect a range of development densities and product types, including mixed-use development. The prototypes will be tailored to specific opportunity sites identified in Task 1 that are determined to represent the optimum combination of availability as well as potential to catalyze further private development interest. As an outcome of this task the team will prepare a capacity analysis of each alternative, determining the potential employment, population, and land use configuration of the study area at build out. 3.2 Preliminary Environmental Evaluation Preliminary review of the traffic analysis and the alternatives will be conducted and used to begin preparing for the environmental documents required in later tasks. 3.3 CAe Meeting 5 -Alternatives Review This meeting will provide a preview of Community Workshop B including a presentation of the Land Use Alternatives and Analysis.
