Housing Resources Draft Housing Element 4-21 Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan The Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan was adopted in 2018, following an extensive community engagement and planning process. It is intended to transform the area around the Bay Fair BART station, including Bayfair Center, other shopping centers, and properties along Hesperian, East 14th, and other major arterials, into a dynamic new transit-oriented development area. It sets a vision for the Bay Fair area to become a walkable, transit-oriented community hub, with public gathering spaces and a mix of retail, neighborhood services, housing, and office space. To be consistent with this vision, in 2020 the City of San Leandro added the B-TOD Zoning District and new design and development regulations for the Bay Fair area, as recommended under the approved Specific Plan. The Bay Fair TOD Area is at the southeastern edge of the city, adjacent to unincorporated Alameda County to the east and south. The area is surrounded in most directions by single-family neighborhoods and further beyond, by three Interstate freeways (I-580, I-238, and I-880). Housing is intended to be a central focus in future development in the Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan Area and the plan promotes a range of housing options and affordability levels to mitigate the risk of displacement for existing residents. The proximity to the Bay Fair BART Station and AC Transit bus lines makes the Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan Area well situated for residential development. The General Plan established the Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan Area land use designation for the Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan Area, while the Specific Plan implementing the Bay Fair TOD Zoning District establish the details of land use, design, and development requirements for the area.
