The Bay Point Planned-Unit District Zoning Program

The County-initiated zoning and development plan for the Bay Point Redevelopment Area and an additional waterfront area was approved by the County Board of Supervisors on February 11, 2003. The zoning area includes approximately 2,100 acres of land designated for various uses in the County General Plan and Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station Area Specific Plan. The object of this Planned-Unit District is to combine into this readily understandable document all of the requirements for development or use of property in the project area.

The elements of the Planned-Unit District document are as follows:

  1. The Bay Point General Plan/Specific Plan Land Use Map serves as the Preliminary and Final Development Plan for this P-1 District. It consists of land use designations identified in the County General Plan and Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station Area specific Plan, the rezoning area boundary, redevelopment area boundaries, and the Specific Plan Area boundary. Additional informational maps are also included in this section
  2. The Development Standards include the zoning standards, based on the General Plan/Specific Plan designations.
  3. The Land Use Matrix defines land uses, which are not permitted and permitted subject to the type of review required, and any unique conditions, which would apply.
  4. The Conditions of Approval, which apply for future development within the rezoned area, are included.
  5. The Planned Unit District proposal includes Design Guidelines, which are intended to further define criteria such as landscaping, signage, refuse screening, lighting and parking ratios. These design guidelines are based on existing code requirements and policies, and were developed by a sub-committee of the Bay Point Project Area Committee, staff and a licensed architect.
  6. Fee Schedule for proposed development applications are included.
  7. Contact List for agencies related to development in Bay Point
  8. Application & Submittal List includes an application and list of the materials required for a design review. A sample site plan and a brochure from the Building Inspection Department entitled HOW TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT FOR A DWELLING ADDITION, is also provided. Additional information may be required, depending on the type of application.

Bay Point/Pittsburg BART Station Area Specific Plan

The Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency, the City of Pittsburg, and the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), as part of an effort to revitalize the area and plan for transit oriented development, have sponsored a General Plan review and draft Specific Plan of the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station area. Prior to the completion of the BART station, the County, City and BART began work on the draft Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station Area Specific Plan. With the extension of BART to the Pittsburg/Bay Point area, an opportunity to plan for transit-oriented development was recognized. The Specific Plan’s purpose is to add substantial County and City policy detail to what is needed for this revitalization effort.
