File Number: 18-064 <br />Chapter 3: Mobility <br />The “Local Street Network” section recommends new local street and bicycle/pedestrian <br />connections. The “Local Bicycle Network” section shows bicycle connections through and beyond <br />the Plan Area, including the anticipated regional East Bay Greenway, and identifies design <br />standards and potential locations for bike lane classifications. The Local Transit Network section <br />recommends a transit priority local street and includes bus accommodations/placement guidance <br />and standards. This chapter also demonstrates proposed design guidelines for the key existing <br />arterial and collector streets of East 14th Street, Fairmont Drive, and Hesperian Boulevard. There <br />are also recommended standards and guidelines that emphasize activated and attractively <br />designed and scaled sidewalks and public frontages. <br />Private and public parking standards are also discussed in this chapter. Key recommended <br />private parking requirements include the following minimum parking standards: <br />·Office - minimum 1 space/1,000 square feet (with less than 5,000 SF offices to be <br />exempt) <br />·Residential - minimum 0.5 space/unit and maximum 1 space/unit for studios and 1 <br />-bedrooms; minimum 0.75 spaces/unit and maximum 1.5 space/unit (for 2 or more <br />bedrooms <br />·Retail - minimum 2 spaces/1,000 SF (with less than 5,000 SF retail to be exempt) <br />Chapter 4: Land Use + Housing <br />One single B-TOD Zoning District is proposed in the Specific Plan for the entire Plan Area. The <br />wide-ranging lists of recommended permitted, conditionally permitted, administratively permitted <br />and temporarily permitted uses are in Chapter 4 of the Specific Plan. Land uses not allowed in <br />the Plan Area include new single family residential, auto services/sales, drive-thru businesses, <br />low intensity commercial (e.g., equipment service/sales, storage), and industrial (e.g., <br />warehouses, trucking, recycling, hazardous materials) <br />Chapter 5: Development Standards + Guidelines <br />Two notable components of Chapter 5 of the Specific Plan are building heights and transitions to <br />existing development. Building height ranges are classified within three areas of the Plan Area <br />and range from a maximum of 50 feet to a maximum of 90 feet. The Specific Plan focuses the <br />tallest buildings close to BART and away from residential neighborhoods. <br />For transitions to existing development, the Specific Plan proposes two different height transition <br />overlay areas: Residential Transition and Corridor transition Overlays. The Residential Transition <br />Overlay requires future development to step down toward single-family residential neighborhoods <br />to protect privacy and solar exposure. The Corridor Transition Overlay requires a scaling down to <br />both East 14th Street and Hesperian Boulevard to sensitively transition to existing nearby retail, <br />office and/or residential uses. <br />Addendum (see Exhibit B to the City Council Resolution Adopting the Specific Plan) <br />An Addendum was prepared for public review on January 5, 2018 identifying line text edits to the <br />Draft Specific Plan released on September 28, 2017. The Addendum, which was presented to <br />the Planning Commission on January 18th, responded to comments on the Draft Specific Plan <br />Page 5 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/13/2018 <br />23
