MTC/City of San Leandro <br />Bay Fair BART Transit Village Specific Plan EIR Funding Agreement <br />Page 7 <br />The consultant will produce building, open space, and street design guidelines or standards that <br />focus on pedestrian -oriented design that enhances walkability, pedestrian and bicycle comfort. <br />and convenience, and the safety and security of transit riders in and around the planning area. <br />Possible approaches may include pedestrian -friendly design guidelines, form based code, street <br />design guidelines and context sensitive solutions. These guidelines will be prepared and <br />presented in conjunction with Task 6 (Multi -modal Access and Connectivity) above. Graphics <br />and visuals will be essential to and required for the design guidelines. Graphic presentation may <br />include architectural drawings and renderings, massing studies, cross-sectional views, elevation <br />drawings, etc. <br />The consultant will also create an accessibility design plan for people with disabilities and the <br />elderly that ensure fully accessible transit stations, accessible paths between transit and <br />surrounding areas, and visitable and habitable housing units adjacent to applicable transit stations <br />and in the planning area, where feasible. Visitable means a dwelling unit where a person with a <br />disability can visit with an accessible restroom. Habitable means a dwelling unit where a person <br />with a disability can live with an accessible bedroom. Note that if new housing is proposed <br />within the planning area, at least 10% of townhomes should be habitable by persons with <br />disabilities. <br />The Multi -modal and Connectivity memo, Pedestrian -friendly Design Standards and Accessible <br />Design memo will be presented at the TAC and CAC meetings. <br />Deliverable #74: Pedestrian friendly Design Standards <br />Deliverable #7b: Accessible Design Memo <br />Deliverable #7c: TAC Meeting—Agenda/Meeting Materials and Minutes <br />Deliverable #7d: CAC Meeting—Agenda/Meeting Materials and Minutes <br />Task 8: Parking Analysis <br />The consultant will assess the cumulative parking demand that will be required to support the <br />land use alternatives with consideration of the City's, BART's and Bayfair Center's existing <br />parking standards and the anticipated reduced demand associated with transit -oriented <br />development. The objective of the analysis will be to identify methods to reduce the overall <br />parking requirement by capitalizing on the advantages offered by BART, AC Transit, mixed use <br />development, and parking management opportunities. Expected outcomes will be a parking <br />management strategy and reduced parking standards for projects located within the Specific Plan <br />area, while addressing the concerns of area businesses and property owners. Opportunities for <br />shared parking and structured parking (rather than surface parking) to support transit users and <br />planning area land uses will be explored. Strategies and incentives for increasing transit use will <br />also be discussed such as carshare, transit passes, and improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities. <br />The necessity and feasibility of a permit program or other measures to regulate on -street parking <br />such as pricing will also be discussed. A BART replacement parking analysis must also be <br />calculated using BART's methodology, as outlined in Replacement Parking for Joint <br />Development: An Access Policy Methodology by Richard Wilson, April, 2005. <br />Deliverable #8a: Parking Analysis Plan/Memo <br />
