Scope of Work The overall strategy for completing this zoning code update will be to incorporate relevant development standards from the Bay Fair Specific Plan into the zoning code for the new B-TOD zoning district. There will also be related General Plan amendments related to the Bay Fair TOD Plan and final zoning code amendments under this contract. It is assumed that the new B-TOD zoning district will implement the vision set forth in the Bay Fair Specific Plan, and that this vision will not change as part of this re-zoning. The goal of this process is to effectively translate the vision of the Specific Plan into zoning standards that will achieve the vision articulated in the Specific Plan. The zoning district will incorporate just the primary development controls that already exist in the zoning code – such as height, lot coverage, required open space, and land use – while deferring to the Specific Plan itself for more detailed guidance, intent statements, and guidelines. Tasks within this budget may be subject to change, but not without City approval. Task Estimated Hours Not-to- Exceed Cost 1. Regular check-ins and project management: Conduct an initial brainstorming and strategy meeting (meeting of up to two hours, plus up to four hours of additional meeting prep) to determine overall structure and desired content of the new Bay Fair TOD zoning district and implementation strategy. The project kick-off meeting will include discussion of potential direction and strategies on key project topics, which could include:  Strategies for how the zoning should address the by-right approval process, including the following key questions: Should by-right approval be based on a level of density? Should it be limited to ½ mile radius around BART? Should it be dependent on other features like parcel size?  Strategies for how the zoning should address parking standards, including the following key questions: Should parking standards be phased in over time or all at once? Should parking standards be aligned with citywide standards?  Discussion of which design policies in the Specific Plan should be included as objective development standards, including the following key questions: How should the City ensure quality design without being overly prescriptive? How will this align with any parallel efforts to create citywide Objective Design Standards? Conduct regular check-ins and communication with City staff and subconsultants throughout the course of the project. 24 $3,840 2. Public Meetings: Conduct the following meetings in coordination with City staff:  Two stakeholder group meetings. Hold up to two stakeholder group meetings to discuss and vet the proposed Bay Fair Zoning Update, one before the zoning update draft is prepared, and one during public review of the draft. Potential stakeholder group participants are anticipated to be key property owners who participated in the Bay Fair Specific Plan process, such as the Bay Fair Mall owners and BART. Consultant will coordinate with staff to create meeting materials and identify discussion topics for the two stakeholder group meetings. These may be similar or identical to material created for the two community meetings. For efficiency these stakeholder meetings will occur in parallel and at the same time in the process as the two community meetings. Staff will also attend and may also present.  Two community meetings.
