City of San Leandro 2023-2031 Housing Element Update 3-12 The North Area Specific Plan provides development standards and design guidelines for four revitalization districts and the major thoroughfares of East 14th Street, San Leandro Boulevard, Park Street, Bancroft Avenue, and MacArthur Boulevard. Development standards in the North Area Specific Plan address uses, building height and envelope, setbacks, landscape, site access, and parking. The North Area Specific Plan established zoning districts North Area 1 (NA-1) and North Area 2 (NA-2) to implement revitalization districts 1 and 2 along East 14th Street. The area south of Georgia Way was subsequently rezoned DA-2 to be part of the Downtown TOD Strategy area. The NA-1 District now applies to only one parcel – a 4,000 square foot lot currently developed with a duplex. As discussed in further detail in the commercial and mixed use district standards section below, while the NA districts residential density limits of 24 du/acre do not promote the development of high-density housing, the associated land use designation (Corridor Mixed Use) has no maximum density requirements and relies on FAR to determine the number of units that can fit into a proposed development. Bay Fair TOD (B-TOD) Specific Plan The B-TOD Specific Plan encompasses 154 acres on the City’s southeastern edge. The B-TOD Specific Plan Area is surrounded by single-family neighborhoods and I-580, I-238, and I-880. The B-TOD Specific Plan was created to transform the area around the Bay Fair BART station into a walkable, transit-oriented community hub. This hub would consist of public gathering spaces and a mix of retail, neighborhood services, high density housing, and office space. The B-TOD Specific Plan area includes the Bayfair Center, other shopping centers, and properties along major arterials including Hesperian and East 14th Street. The B-TOD Specific Plan Area contains three sub-areas with varying development regulations. Residential densities for multi-family residential and mixed use residential development are as follows:  Sub-Area 1: 65 du/acre minimum  Sub-Area 2: 60 du/acre minimum  Sub-Area 3: 20 du/acre minimum San Leandro updated its Zoning Code in November 2021 by adding the B-TOD Zoning District and new design and development regulations for the Bay Fair area consistent with the B-TOD Specific Plan. East 14th South Area Development Strategy In 2004, the City adopted the South Area Development Strategy in response to concerns over the quality and quantity of new businesses along the East 14th Street corridor. The East 14th Street corridor stretches for over 2 miles from Downtown to the Bay Fair BART Transit Village area and is part of the City’s South Area Development Strategy. This area includes auto-oriented strip malls, former car dealerships, churches, schools, older multi-family housing, and a hospital. The Strategy includes the transformation of the unbroken commercial strip into a series of mixed use districts, the creation of a more pedestrian-friendly environment on East 14th Street and the accommodation of high-quality multi-family housing along the corridor. The density, height, floor area, and lot coverage development standards of this area currently promote mixed use, multi-family development, but the current allowable floor area ratios and density limitations along the corridor do not support this type of development. There has been little redevelopment interest along the
