(Chiu D) San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District: transit-oriented development.
Summary: Current law establishes the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) with various powers and duties and establishes a board of directors as the legislative body of the district. This bill would require the board to adopt new transit-oriented development (TOD) guidelines by a majority vote at a duly noticed public meeting that establish minimum local zoning requirements for BART-owned land that is located on contiguous parcels larger than 0.25 acres, within 1/2 mile of an existing or planned BART station entrance, in areas having representation on the BART board of directors.
