DIVISION 10-28.2.2: DOWNTOWN ZONES
Hayward, California, Municipal Code C reated: 2023 -05-19 09:26:22 [EST] (
Supp. No. 19)

DIVISION 10-28.2.2: DOWNTOWN ZONES
10-28.2.2.010 PURPOSE
This Division establishes the building standards for the Downtown Zones. These standards reflect the community's vision for implementing the General Plan and the Plan to create places of walkable urbanism. These standards are intended to promote development that establishes and reinforces the highly valued character and scale of Downtown Hayward and the adjacent walkable urban neighborhoods. 10-28.2.2.020 APPLICABILITY
A. The standards in this Division apply to all proposed development within Downtown Zones, which must comply with other requirements in the Hayward Code.

B. From the allowed types for the applicable zone, and in compliance with the listed standards, the following must be selected for each lot:

1. Primary building type (maximum one except for Cottage Building);

2. Frontage types; and

3. Land uUses.

C. Building types, frontage types, and land uses not listed in a zone's standards are not allowed in that zone.

D. Sites three acres or larger must comply with Article 4 (Standards for Large Sites).

E. If there is a conflict between the standards of this Division and the standards in another Division or Article of this Chapter or the Hayward Code, the standards in this Division supersede the Hayward Code and Article 3 (Supplemental to Zones) supersedes this Division.
10-28.2.2.030 OVERVIEW OF DOWNTOWN ZONES
The Downtown Zones are described in this Division, and each zone is established based on the intent of the desired physical form and character of particular environments envisioned in the Downtown Specific Plan. These zones primarily focus on mixed-use, walkable areas of Downtown, and range in function and intensity from the lowest intensity (Neighborhood Edge), to moderate intensity neighborhoods (Urban Neighborhood) to higher intensity commercial, retail, and residential areas along corridors (Downtown Ma in Street and Urban Center). The naming of the zones is based on an overall spectrum of context types from less urban to more urban in Hayward.

Table A (Overview of Downtown Zones) provides an overview of Downtown Zones within this spectrum.

DIVISION 10-28.6.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT

Hayward, California, Municipal Code Created: 2023-05-11 13:14:33 [EST] (Supp. No. 19)

(1) Where uses seek to share parking with different peak hour demands and are in the same or adjoining development, the applicant shall submit to the Director an analysis and substantiated projections of peak parking demand for the entire development to justify the shared use of parking spaces for separate uses;
(2) Where the special nature of a certain development (e.g., special types of housing projects inhabited by persons with low or no automobile ownership) does not require the amount of parking listed in Subsection D of the zone standards as described in a Parking Demand Study; or
(3) Where fewer parking spaces are needed due to implementation of a Transportation Demand Management Plan. access to transit, special designs and traffic mitigation measures incorporated in the parking lot design and circulation plan. b. The Director or the review authority, as appropriate, shall consider the following in determining whether a reduction is warranted:
(1) The likelihood that the reduced number of parking spaces can satisfy demand; (2) The amount of time during the year when the number of spaces provided may be insufficient and the amount of resulting parking overflow;
(3) The impact of periodic overflows upon the public thoroughfares and other parking facilities; (4) The nature of surrounding land uses, character of the surrounding road system, and nearby circulation pattern;
(5) The amount of on-street parking available within one-quarter of a mile of the development; (6) Any reduction in on-site parking demand by implementing Transportation Demand Management strategies proposed by the applicant; and/or
(7) In all cases, the burden to demonstrate that a reduction in parking standards is warranted rests with the applicant.
