BAY FAIR TOD SUB-AREA 1 PRECISE PLAN The proposed Bay Fair Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Precise Plan is a strategic investment in the pre-development work necessary to unlock the tremendous Transit Oriented Community (TOC) development potential at the center of the Bay Fair TOD District and Priority Development Area (PDA). Building upon the community vision and environmental clearance established by the Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan (2018), this grant will allow the City of San Leandro to work in partnership with the community, key stakeholders and property owners to address regulatory, ownership and market changes and opportunities since adoption, advance solutions for key infrastructure challenges and access barriers, and provide the additional parameters needed to streamline future development, and implement MTC’s TOC Policy. The proposed Precise Plan for Sub Area 1 (~72 acres) of the Bay Fair TOD District will unlock the potential for an estimated 3,000-5,000 mixed-income housing units and over 2,000,000 sq ft of employment, visitor, and retail/service uses within one half-mile of the Bay Fair BART Station. (To date, the City has provided environmental clearance for up to 5,000 housing units and 375,000 sq ft of office in the larger Bay Fair TOD District.) Since 2018, key properties within Sub-Area 1 area have changed ownership, the interior of Bayfair Center Mall has closed, and the new owners are preparing for up to 400,000 sq ft of adaptive reuse for employment uses. The City has also entitled 497-units of multi-family housing in Subarea 1 (including 50% affordable units). A detailed analysis of site conditions (grading, utilities, flood regulations, etc.) will enable the Precise Plan to establish an updated multi-modal circulation network of complete streets, developable blocks, and green infrastructure and utility plans. It will analyze parking needs at the district scale, including BART parking replacement, and provide strategies to implement Travel Demand Management & Parking programs. A detailed development design plan and parcelization plan will define future blocks for development and prepare the BART TOD site for a competitive proposal process. The Precise Plan will develop conceptual designs and cost estimates for the key district-scale infrastructure needed to remove major physical barriers in the plan area and catalyze the full development potential of the District. These include a new complete street crossing over the Estudillo Canal and ADA access across the BART station to connect across the District.
