Proposed Amendments 3 Proposed Amendments The Bay Fair TOD Zoning Update and Minor Specific Plan Amendments Project (proposed project) would involve amendments to the Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan, the City's General Plan, Zoning Map, and Zoning and Municipal Codes to allow the City to implement the Specific Plan through the creation of a new Zoning District specific to the Plan Area, and to provide minor clarifications and additions necessary for the implementation of the new District. City staff has therefore prepared a new Bay Fair TOD (B-TOD) Zoning District with and minor related amendments to the General Plan, Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan, and the City of San Leandro Zoning Map and Municipal Codes to ensure consistency between the Specific Plan and Zoning Code. Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan The proposed project would involve revisions to the Specific Plan to provide clarifications and revisions consistent with the proposed changes to the City's Zoning Code, which are described below. ■ Page 35: Create a Grid of Smaller Blocks. Amend the stated block length preference. The 440- foot maximum standard provided on Page 90 of the Specific Plan would remain unchanged. ■ Page 48: Figure 3.1. Delete note from bottom of figure that states "The location of new streets and connections is approximate and could be adjusted based on future conditions." ■ Page 70: Use Regulations. Delete reference to list of uses on pages 72-73. ■ Pages 72-73: Allowed Uses. Remove detailed list of uses from Specific Plan, to be contained in Section 2.10.200 of the proposed Zoning Code Chapter. ■ Page 79: Active Frontages. Revise Bullet 1 to clarify that standards for active ground -floors apply to all publicly accessible streets and pathways. Currently, the Specific Plan only specifically calls out new streets, East 141", and public parks and plazas. Clarify standards for occupied building area encroaching into setbacks above ground floor. ■ Pages 81-85, 92, 93. Revise the following Specific Plan guidelines from "should" to "shall" to provide objective standards and be more consistent with standard language in the Zoning Code, including for the following topics: Commercial tenant space depth (page 81) Ground -floor facades (selected components of pages 81-85), Single -story non-residential height (page 86), Design of utilities (page 91) 13 Massing breaks and articulation (page 92), 11 Nighttime visibility (page 93), 11 Parking and loading design (pages 94-95), 11 Monument signs (page 104), and 11 Fencing (page 105). ■ Page 90: Maximum FAR.
