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#7a: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 />
