East 14th Street South Area Development Strategy

San Leandro, California

City of San Leandro

Lead Consultant

2002-2004

Community Design + Architecture led a team of consultants to develop a Land Use, Urban Design, and Streetscape Concept Plan for the southern segment of East 14th Street (S.R. 185) in the City of San Leandro. The objective was to revitalize the corridor as the potential for infill development along the corridor provides the only major new housing opportunity within the City. The area is currently in transition from an auto-oriented retail corridor into a mixed-use urban corridor. The transition has been encouraged by the resettlement of the various automobile dealerships that once operated on the street.

The project identified how the existing conditions of the E 14th Corridor can be defined as specific sets of assets, needs, and opportunities. The team is assessing the overall picture of the economic and real estate market potential and transportation and parking conditions, incorporating other significant developments such as AC Transit’s proposed BRT service on the corridor. CD+A and the economic consultant, Strategic Economics, identified a series of opportunity sites along the corridor that are likely to experience change in use and revitalization over the next few years. Three of these were identified for more detailed study to illustrate prototypical designs that were then evaluated in terms of their economic feasibility. The detailed studies provided the opportunity to illustrate how the study’s design guidelines and standards can support a more pedestrian-friendly environment along E 14th Street. In parallel with this effort, CD+A generated proposals for the redesign of East 14th Street into a multi-modal Corridor by including elements such as wider sidewalks, a tree-lined center median, safer and more frequent pedestrian crossings, and corner bulb-outs. Strategies and design guidelines for development on private property and the proposals for the improvement of the public right-of-way are intended to create a synergy that will facilitate and sustain the envisioned long-term revitalization of the Corridor.

The design process was highly interactive, involving neighboring residents, businesses and other stakeholders. The inputs provided over a series of workshops and Advisory Committee meetings created a consensus in identifying goals and aspirations of the community for the corridor and potential opportunity sites for redevelopment. By creating ownership in the results of the study, the potential for successful implementation was greatly improved.
