File Number: 21-758 starts from eight feet to 15 feet and to provide a termination point of the daylight plane 20 feet from the subject RS or RD District boundary line. This daylight plane requirement, combined with setback and landscape buffer requirements, provide a transition between higher- and lower-scaled residential districts so that new development reflects the scale of, and provide a buffer to, adjacent development along the transition area, without reducing the allowable development across the entire property. ·Parking. After hearing from stakeholders and the community through surveys, workshops, and one on one conversations, staff identified a set of recommended parking amendments to reduce and standardize the amount of required parking in the Downtown (DA) and South Area (SA) Zoning Districts. Staff recommended requiring a minimum of 1 parking space per unit within ¼ mile of public transit (as defined by and consistent with the State definition for major transit stops) and 1.25 - 1.5 spaces per unit for projects located more than ¼ mile from public transit. This reflects a .5 to 1.0 space reduction in the amount of minimum parking required in the SA District and a .25 space reduction in the DA District for studio or one-bedroom units for projects further than ¼ mile from BART. The allowance of unbundled flex parking of .25 to .5 spaces/unit at the developer’s option in the DA District was proposed to be removed. o As noted above, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended establishing a 0.5 space/unit vehicle parking maximum throughout the DA and SA Districts. The Commission referenced the adopted Climate Action Plan, which includes Policy AD-4: Evaluate Parking Standards to evaluate parking standards and continue to support shared parking and other efforts to ensure the availability of necessary parking while reducing vehicle miles traveled. The Commission also recommended requiring 15% of vehicle parking spaces to have electric vehicle chargers and establishing a one bicycle parking space per unit requirement in the DA and SA Districts. See the Planning Commission Public Hearing section below for more information. o AC Transit submitted a letter (Attachment 4) after the Planning Commission hearing supporting the City’s efforts to reduce parking requirements and support transit usage as a strategy to help the City reach its Climate goals. AC Transit’s letter strongly encouraged the incorporation of active transportation demand management (TDM) measures. B-TOD, Industrial, and Public and Semi-Public Districts: In Chapter 2.10, Bay Fair Transit-Oriented Development District, revisions are proposed to consolidate and standardize processes for Administrative Exceptions and Site Plan Review described under Administrative Provisions, below. In the Public (PS) District, provisions are added to allow development on certain properties near the San Leandro BART Station to develop in accordance with State law (California Public Utilities Code Sections 29010.1 through 29010.12 (AB2923)). Administrative Provisions Amendments to Title 5, Administration, and the administrative regulations of Base District Regulations in Title 2, consolidate and standardize review processes. The ‘administrative procedure’ section of each base district in Title 2 identifies the applicability of various administrative provisions specific to that district. The procedures for the various administrative provisions are proposed to be consolidated into one place (Title 5). Page 7 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/30/2021 25
