Lot Area -3,500 sf (RMB3.5) with a Limited Medium Density Residential (LMDR) land use designation in the Hayward 2040 General Plan.

To offset these exceptions, the development will include an entry pilaster, decorative LED streetlights, greater capacity rooftop solar panels, electric vehicle charging stations, additional rainwater collection barrels, Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs), security measures for the JADUs, a high strength mailbox in a secure location, a donation of lumber to the La Vista Park development, reuse of the removed trees on-site, and a programmed common open space area.
