As part of the PDA profile, R+A will conduct a high-level review of the General Plan direction (including a coordination meeting with City staff and the General Plan Update consultant), zoning, and other city plans or polices affecting the area, as well as relevant existing plans or policies from other sources such as BART, Alameda County. This will include an assessment of current City, County, and BART policies and other governmental and physical factors that will influence the feasibility of transit-oriented development, the status of proposed or planned Bay Fair area capital improvement projects. The purpose of this review will be to identify policy parameters and guidance for the area. R+A will work with VMWP to review existing public- sector and private-sector plans for the area to understand which components have been implemented and which have not, and to better understand the success or lack of success of past efforts in the area. R+A will provide context for the relationship between the planning area and the surrounding area, including identifying opportunities for positive benefit to the surrounding unincorporated neighborhoods, Alameda County East 14th Street PDA project area, and County property within the planning area. Along with the evaluation and research of physical context, demographic, active policies, and site context, the PDA Profile Report will identify issues, constraints, or concerns that will need to be addressed during the planning process. R+A will work with VMWP to identify key opportunity sites for future transit-oriented development and relevant data associates with identified properties.
