SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN Exhibit B, General Plan Text Amendments LAND USE p 2 Corridor Mixed Use. This designation allows a mix of commercial and residential uses oriented in a linear development pattern along major transit -served arterials such as East 14th Street. A range of commercial and office uses is permitted, primarily serving neighborhood and community needs. Residential uses may be either free-standing or integrated into the upper floors of mixed use projects. Development should be designed to encourage walking and bicycle use, and should be sufficiently dense to support increased transit services along the corridors. A maximum allowable FAR of 1.0 applies in areas with this designation, although FARs of up to 1.5 may be permitted for projects incorporating housing. Where a Specific Plan or Area Plan has been prepared for an area with this designation, an FAR of 1.5 may also be permitted, subject to the conditions of that Plan. Maximum residential density in this category is dictated by the above floor area ratio limits rather than limits on housing units per acre. Bay Fair Transit -Oriented Development. This designation includes approximately 120 acres within the San Leandro city limits around the Bay Fair BART Station, including Bayfair Center, Fairmont Square and Fashion Faire Place, and other commercial properties along Hesperian Boulevard, Fairmont Drive, and East 14�h Street in the Bayfair Center vicinity. The BART parking lot is also included. As of 2016, a TOD Specific Plan for this area was underway. The intent is to create a new vision for this area, including retail, office, higher density housing, open space, and public land uses. A more urban development form is envisioned, with pedestrian -scaled streets and an orientation toward BART access and transit use. A maximum FAR of 3.0 applies. Maximum residential density in this category is dictated by floor area ratio limits rather than upper limits on housing units per acre.

Light Industrial areas may contain wholesale activities, distribution facilities, research and development or e-commerce uses, business services, technology, and manufacturing operations which produce minimal off -site impacts. Campus -style industrial parks and professional offices also are permitted. A limited range of commercial uses also is permitted in these areas. Uses in areas with this designation must be capable of locating adjacent to residential areas without creating 3-30
