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