SUMMARY
The City entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in January 2016 to manage the disposition and development of former right of way for the now defunct Route 238 Bypass. This land is divided into 10 parcel groups and must be disposed of by 2022. Over the last year, the City has been working with the community to develop a vision and plan for the reintegration of Parcel Groups 5, 6, 8, and 9 back into the City. The remaining Parcel Groups 2, 3, 4, and 7 are under exclusive negotiation with developers with plans being vetted with the community by the developers through the City’s standard planning process. Parcel groups 1 & 10 were sold to William Lyon Homes in 2018.
Development on these parcels will include the creation of new neighborhood parks, designated areas of open space, and the construction of the Hayward Foothill Trail pursuant to the Special District 7 (SD-7) zoning overlay. This report provides an overview of the planning processes for the community amenities to be developed on these properties.
