The City shall prepare a comprehensive update of the Hayward Design Guidelines and the Hillside Design and Urban Wildland Interface Guidelines. The guidelines shall apply to commercial, residential, industrial, and mixed-use developments located outside of the City’s Priority Development Areas.
The City has not begun this program due to limited staff and fiscal resources, along with other City priorities; however, the City received grant monies to develop residential design guidelines and expects to begin that effort in the Fall 2021. For more information, please contact the City's Planning Division at 510-583-4200.
