File Number: 21-550 <br />On February 1, 2021, the City Council tabled the second reading of the Ordinance adopting the <br />B-TOD Zoning Amendments pending the preparation of citywide supplemental mobile home park <br />protections and further discussions with key stakeholder groups. <br />Since the February 1, 2021 City Council meeting, staff has met with key stakeholder groups. On <br />September 20, 2021, the City Council voted 7-0 to introduce an Ordinance adopting Zoning <br />Code and Zoning Map Amendments to strengthen anti-displacement policies for mobile home <br />park residents. The proposed Zoning Code amendments add Chapter 3.34, MHP Mobile Home <br />Park Overlay District, and amend Chapter 5.28, Mobile Home Park Conversions. The proposed <br />Zoning Map Amendments apply the MHP Overlay Zone to all existing mobile home park sites. <br />The Ordinance will become effective on October 21, 2021. <br />On September 20, 2021, in accordance with Robert’s Rules of Order as prescribed by Section II <br />of the City Council Handbook, the City Council removed from the table the Second Reading of <br />Ordinance No. 2020-12 amending the Zoning Code, Zoning Map, and Municipal Code to <br />implement the 2018 Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan. <br />Bay Fair TOD Zoning Amendments <br />The proposed Zoning and Municipal Code amendments are the culmination of a multi-year, public <br />planning effort to lay the groundwork to transform the 154-acre area surrounding the Bay Fair <br />BART Station into a vibrant transit village with a diversity of land uses serving residents, workers, <br />and visitors. In 2018, the Council adopted the Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan (Specific Plan), which <br />promotes the long-term sustainability and vibrancy of the Bay Fair BART Station area and helped <br />establish it as a regional Priority Development Area (PDA) in order to: <br />§Provide greater access to public funding targeted to TOD areas; <br />§Incentivize/streamline the regulatory process for future TOD developments; <br />§Continue City and private investments in South San Leandro; and <br />§Add the final planning piece to the City’s East 14th Street corridor, following the East 14th <br />South Area Strategy (2004) and the Downtown TOD Strategy (2007), all in compliance <br />with MTC’s regional Plan Bay Area 2040. <br />The Zoning Code, Zoning Map, and Municipal Code amendments are a critical next step in <br />implementing the Specific Plan. The amendments implement the community’s vision as <br />articulated in the Specific Plan and establish appropriate development and design standards for <br />this major growth area in the City. The amendments respond to recent trends in state law by <br />establishing objective criteria; however, they also include opportunities for flexibility and a wide <br />range of land uses to better align with future economic and development trends while keeping <br />with the spirit of the Specific Plan. <br />The Zoning and Municipal Code Amendments are consistent with the purposes of the Zoning <br />Code contained in Section 1.04.108 as well as the General Plan and relevant General Plan <br />policies related to the Bay Fair TOD area, including: <br />Policy LU-8.10 Bay Fair Area. Transform the area around the Bay Fair BART <br />station, including Bayfair Center, other shopping centers, and <br />properties along Hesperian, East 14th, and other major arterials, <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/30/2021
