Improvement Club were foundational
in organizing their mosquito control
district during 1902

Grow 100,000s of mosquitoes
Must separate male from females
Reduced mosquito health
Wolbachia bacteria infection2
Male mosquitoes naturally spread bacteria
Multi-generation impact
Reduced mosquito reproduction and virus growth
EPA-registered non-GMO option
Must separate male from females
Identify / replace correct Wolbachia strain

Parking Analysis
Work Session with the
City Council
January

Elizabeth Blanton, Senior Planner & Taylor Richard, Assistant Planner 2 Project Scope
The City was awarded SB 2 grant in 2020
✓ Zoning/General Plan Consistency
• 1,500+ parcels that are zoned RS have
GP designations that allow/require
higher densities.
• Through rezoning or zoning overlay,
these parcels will be brought into
conformance with the GP .
✓ Residential Objective Standards
• Development of more detailed
objective residential standards in
response to SB 330 and other recent
legislation.

Planning Commission and Council Feedback
✓ Project Kickoff
✓ Joint session of Planning Commission and
Council on February 1, 2022
✓ Feedback on Parking
• Project should address community
parking concerns
• Evaluate current regulations for areas of
improvement
• Identify strategies to reduce parking
necessity (shuttles, bike infrastructure, car
sharing programs, unbundled parking)
5 Public Outreach
✓ Outreach Efforts to Date
• Online survey
• Online interactive mapping tool
• Neighborhood “walkshops”
• Pop-ups at community events
✓ Feedback on Parking
• Reduce “spillover” parking adjacent to
Downtown/Mission Boulevard
• Allow unbundled parking
• Ensure front setbacks can
accommodate driveway parking
• Increase protected bike lanes,
shuttles, other alternatives to driving
6 Density Bonus Law
• Prohibits jurisdictions
from requiring more off-
street parking than
outlined within the law
• Developers can request a
concession to further
reduce their off-street
parking requirements
Bedroom Count Number of Required

residential development potential
that is currently allowed
8 AB 2097

encourage market-driven supply
• Lenders will not finance new projects
without sufficient parking
14 Current Regulations- Credits
• Senior Citizen Housing and Housing for
People with Disabilities
• Two-Wheel Vehicle Parking Spaces
• Tandem Parking
• Off-Site Parking
15 Methods
✓ Parking Analysis Memo prepared by DKS
Associates (Transportation Engineers)
• Reviewed State legislation
• Compared current off-street parking
regulations to ITE Manual
• Reviewed current credits/exceptions
• Considered best practices from other
jurisdictions
• Considered input from staff, decision-
makers, and community members
16 Recommendations
✓ Maintain parking requirements within the
Mission Boulevard Code area.
• State legislation (AB 2097, SB 330) limit the
ability to require/increase parking
• Upcoming AC Transit network redesign
✓ Do not increase parking requirements for
multi-family developments outside of
Mission Boulevard Code and Downtown
Specific Plan areas.
• Existing parking regulations are higher than
ITE Manual rates
17 Recommendations
✓ Develop Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) strategies for multi-
family developments.
• Consider parking reduction/credits under
certain conditions
• Proximity to transit
• Provision of active transportation
amenities
• Car-share on site
• Provision of subsidized transit passes
18 Recommendations
✓ Allow for unbundling of parking.
• Separate the cost of housing units from the
cost of parking spaces
• Purchase/rent spaces as needed
✓ Revise parking requirements for single-
family dwellings that are abutting a street
with no on-street parking.
• Allow driveway spaces to count for the
extra two required parking spaces.
19 1 Which of the recommendations do you think are right for Hayward? Do you support the development of TDM requirements or credits for multifamily development?
• If so, which TDM strategies should be included?
• Are there specific areas of the city, such as Downtown, along Mission Boulevard, and/or around major transit stops where TDM requirements or credits should apply? • Would you be supportive of differentiating TDM requirements or credits based on project size, location, level of affordability and/or tenure (rental vs. ownership)? Are there any other parking design issues (i.e., setbacks, visibility, etc.) that should be addressed as part of the Hayward Residential Design Study? 3 Questions for Discussion
