SUMMARY
The proposed project will result in development of approximately 25 acres of underutilized and mainly vacant land located within approximately one-half mile of the South Hayward BART Station into a mixed-use, transit oriented neighborhood composed of 472 mixed-income, multi-family rental and for-sale townhome-style units, and approximately 20,000 square feet of ground floor retail. The proposed development would be connected through a series of trails, paseos, sidewalks and bicycle paths. A series of open space nodes, commercial courtyards, street furniture and decorative paving would tie the areas together and provide a cohesive identity for the large-scale development. Proposed conditions of approval would require implementation of Transportation Demand Management Measures, installation of additional bicycle parking for the mixed-use buildings, construction of off-site improvements to support the multi-modal access, and installation of common open space to serve the residents of the mixed-use buildings.
The proposed project is the subject of a Purchase and Sale Agreement between the City and the applicant, William Lyon Homes, for the sale and disposition of former Caltrans-owned properties along the Mission Boulevard corridor. Three additional parcels included in the project area would require a land swap between the City and Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD), and purchase of property from BART and Alameda County Flood Control District (ACFCD), all of which would be conveyed to the developer. If the land swap and sales are approved by the respective agencies, the proposed development would result in the relocation and expansion of the existing, one-acre Valle Vista Park to a new, approximately 1.89-acre, amenity-rich, linear park that would run along and over the existing ACFCD-owned channel. The new park would be constructed by the developer and dedicated to HARD for public use.
