Plan update and establishes which uses are desirable. The proposed Specific Plan will recommend <br />the creation of a B-TOD zoning district with permitted uses as described in below in subsection 2.3.3 <br />and in Chapter 4, “Land Use and Housing” of the Specific Plan. <br />Downtown San Leandro TOD Strategy <br />Adopted in 2007, the Downtown San Leandro Downtown Transit-Oriented Development Strategy <br />provides a vision, land use framework, proposed circulation system, design guidelines and <br />principles, and implementation actions to guide downtown development beyond 2030. The TOD <br />Strategy was part of the basis for Downtown’s designation by ABAG/MTC as a regional PDA, and <br />recent major development projects downtown have begun to realize the Strategy’s vision. The <br />Downtown Strategy is a helpful precedent from another area of the City that is pursuing transit- <br />oriented development. <br />East 14th Street Plans <br />The City of San Leandro and Alameda County, respectively, have established plans for the segments <br />of the East 14th Corridor that are adjacent to the Specific Plan Area, extending for several miles in <br />either direction. Alameda County’s Ashland and Cherryland Business District Specific Plan (adopted <br />2015) covers the East 14th corridor as it continues southeast from the Specific Plan Area. San <br />Leandro’s East 14th Street South Area Development Strategy (adopted 2004) provides design <br />guidance for the portion of the East 14th corridor between Bay Fair and Downtown San Leandro. <br />Many of the concepts in both plans – such as transitions to adjacent residential neighborhoods, <br />corridor design and land use strategies, transportation and street facilities, and streetscape <br />concepts – may be relevant to the portions of East 14th Street within the Specific Plan Area. <br />2.3 Specific Plan Components <br />2.3.1 Overview <br />The proposed Specific Plan has two major components: (1) the long term vision and policy <br />component (Chapters 2 through 4) and (2) the development standards (Chapter 5). The vision and <br />policy component provides the goals and policies related to land use and circulation. The regulatory <br />component would enact development standards and guidelines that apply to all future <br />development projects in the Specific Plan Area. Together, these two components are intended to <br />serve as a comprehensive document for development within the Specific Plan Area. Chapter 6 <br />recommends implementing programs and financing options to achieve the Specific Plan goals. <br />The Specific Plan contains the following Chapters: <br /> The Introduction and Context chapter (Chapter 1) describes the Specific Plan Area <br />conditions and context, the purpose of the document, and the community engagement and <br />plan development process. <br /> The Vision and Planning Framework chapter (Chapter 2) provides the long-term vision and <br />desired outcomes for the Specific Plan Area. <br /> The Mobility chapter (Chapter 3) presents the circulation network and design concepts that <br />are intended to improve connections and enhance walkability along and across existing <br />corridors. Transportation demand management and parking are also addressed in this <br />Chapter. <br />106
