Proposed Amendments
<br />Revisions to Chapter 2.08
<br />The proposed project would remove all references to the C-RM District from Chapter 2.08,
<br />Commercial and Professional Districts, and revise Section 2.08.336 to include private open space
<br />and common open space requirements, in addition to the existing basic required open space. These
<br />additional requirements set minimum square footages per dwelling unit for private balconies,
<br />porches, decks, patios, or courts, as well as non -street side yards, courts, patios, terraces, and
<br />rooftops.
<br />New Chapter 2.10
<br />Proposed Zoning Code changes include the addition of new Chapter 2.10, Bay Fair Transit -Oriented
<br />Development District, which would establish the Bay Fair Transit -Oriented Development (B-TOD)
<br />District to aid in implementation of the Specific Plan. The B-TOD District adheres strongly to the
<br />Specific Plan, including no added intensity, density, height, significant changes in allowed land uses
<br />or other substantial changes to the Specific Plan already adopted and analyzed in the 2018 EIR. The
<br />proposed B-TOD District includes minor clarifications and additions necessary for zoning
<br />implementation, such as clarification of parking requirements, clarification of open space
<br />requirements, clarification of the project approval process, and addition of certain non-residential
<br />use types to the allowed use list consistent with Specific Plan policies. This new chapter establishes
<br />the following requirements for the new district:
<br />■ Sub -areas with height overlays;
<br />■ Permitted uses, conditionally permitted uses, uses requiring Administrative Review, and
<br />temporary uses requiring Administrative Review;
<br />■ Minimum lot areas, widths, yard sizes, and setbacks;
<br />■ Height restrictions (minimums and maximums);
<br />■ Minimum density of residential developments;
<br />■ Lot coverage percentage;
<br />■ Minimum open space requirement;
<br />■ Site design requirements, including pedestrian access, frontage improvements, ground floor
<br />height, required openings, entrances, articulation, balconies, and parking design;
<br />■ Required amenities for multi -family and mixed -use residential developments;
<br />■ Parking access and design requirements;
<br />■ Minimum site landscaping; and
<br />■ Administrative regulations, including Development Plan Review, Site Plan Review, and
<br />Administrative Exceptions.
<br />Revisions to Chapters 4.04, 4.08, and 4.12
<br />The proposed project would revise Chapter 4.04, Development Regulations; Chapter 4.08, Off -Street
<br />Parking and Loading Regulations; and Chapter 4.12, Signs, to delete all references to the C-RM
<br />District, add references to the B-TOD District and implement the Specific Plan and for consistency
<br />with Chapter 2.10. The amendments would clarify allowed exceptions to height limits and
<br />implement fencing, parking, and signage standards for the B-TOD District.
