On-Call Assistance and Zoning

Following completion of his work on the Fremont General Plan in 2011, Barry provided on-call planning services to the City of Fremont from 2012 to 2017. Assignments were defined by City staff on an as-needed basis and focused on General Plan implementation and zoning changes. Barry’s responsibilities included:

  • Development of seven new commercial and industrial zoning districts and associated building and site standards, responding to evolving land use patterns and regional and global economic shifts. Barry developed a new use classification system based on NAICS codes, along with diagrams indicating siting and design requirements that implemented General Plan policies.

  • Preparation and adoption of new zoning code standards for Accessory Dwelling Units, addressing changes in State housing law and Housing Element implementation programs.

  • Clarification of General Plan residential density provisions (net versus gross), including preparation and facilitation of Planning Commission study sessions.

  • Design of the outreach and engagement strategy for the 2015–2023 Housing Element, including facilitation of stakeholder meetings and community workshops.

  • Review of draft Housing Element text and verification of the Housing Element site inventory.

Completed: 2012-2017
