Miller Planning Associates Proposal Work Program City of San Leandro Objective Development Standards Objective design and development standards for multi -family and mixed-use development promote quality housing development by providing a clear, predictable, streamlined path to project approval. The scope of services provided below includes our approach to create objective development standards for multi -family and mixed-use zoning districts that result in high-quality development consistent with the General Plan through an efficient and effective process. Our current zoning and design work in other cities involves a broad array of implementation concepts, including best practices for multi -family residential and mixed-use design. We understand the development review process, as well as how zoning and development standards work from an applicant's perspective. This background will enable us to focus quickly on viable options for San Leandro. Scope of Services Task 1: Project Initiation and Background Research 1.1 Kick-off Meeting and Area Tour. Prepare for and participate in a kick-off meeting with City staff to discuss ideas and aspirations for the project, finalize the work program and schedule, define the community engagement schedule and details, clarify roles and responsibilities, and discuss relevant project information. During the same trip as the kick-off meeting, conduct a tour of areas where multi- family and mixed-use development has been completed, is allowed, or is anticipated to become familiar with the physical details of development. 1.2 Technical Review. Conduct technical review and analysis of City policy documents, design guidelines, development standards, and review procedures. Documents to be reviewed and analyzed include, but are not limited to, the 2035 General Plan, General Plan Land Use Map, Zoning Ordinance, Zoning Map, East 14th Street South Area Development Strategy, Bay Fair Transit -Oriented Development Specific Plan, Downtown Transit -Oriented Development Strategy, Downtown Design Guidelines and Principles, and North Area Specific Plan. Examine the impact of existing regulations and conditions on encouraging or discouraging high quality design. 1.3 Project Review. Review representative sets of project plans for multi -family and mixed-use development for use in reviewing how current standards and design guidelines are applied and evaluate the review process, assessing the opportunity to streamline the application process. 1.4 Site Analysis. Identify and document key physical and use characteristics in areas where multifamily and mixed-use development is allowed or anticipated. Site analysis will serve as a visual inventory to inform appropriate objective standards for each zoning district. Meetings: • Kick-off Meeting and Area Tour Products • Site Analysis 8
