BAY FAIR TOD SPECIFIC PLAN Transitions to Existing Development It is important that new development provides appropriate transitions of height and scale to existing neighborhoods. To achieve this, there are two different height transition overlay areas shown in Figure 5.2. The Residential Transition Overlay requires development to step down toward single-family residential neighborhoods, ensuring solar access and privacy for existing low -density residential properties in the City and nearby Alameda County. The Corridor Transition Overlay requires development to step down to both East 14th Street and Hesperian Boulevard to provide an appropriate and sensitive transition Figure 5.3: Residential Transition Overlay to existing retail, office and/or residential uses across the street. The Corridor Transition Overlay is compatible with the scale and height allowed in Alameda County's Ashland/ Cherryland Business District Specific Plan (up to five stories), which regulates County properties on the other side of East 14th Street. It is also compatible with the scale and height allowed by this Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan on the west side of Hesperian Boulevard (four stories, as shown for "Area 3" in Figure 5.3 below).

As shown in Figure 5.2 "Building Height Limits", 45 degree Daylight Plane height transitions are required for any new development adjacent to IRS or RD zoning districts, as required by the Daylight Plane height restrictions found in the existing San Leandro Zoning Code. This requirement applies to all future use types within the Residential Transition Overlay area, including residential development. Per the Zoning Code and as shown in Figure 5.2 "Residential Transition Overlay Height Limits," this is defined as a 15-foot minimum setback at a 45-degree angle from a point 8 feet above the property line.
