MINUTES Page 7 City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-January 18, 2005 There being no further comments from the public, and without objection, the Public Hearing was closed. Councilmember Santos expressed his appreciation for Mr. Glass' suggestion regarding improving the appearance of the Mulford Gardens neighborhood. He noted that some properties in Mulford Gardens have become eyesores, and he receives complaints about these properties on a regular basis. Councilmember Santos suggested these complaints should be directed to the Mulford Gardens Improvement Association and believes it is incumbent upon the Association and the residents to find ways to improve these problem properties. Councilmember Santos indicated that Mr. Glass is not alone, and there are a number of other residents that have brought up this issue. Regarding Mr. Norry's comments about the zoning, Councilmember Glaze asked if the PD overlay is still in existence and whether the project complies with the current zoning. Mr. Penaranda indicated that the PD overlay is in existence, and it is shown on the vicinity map. Councilmember Glaze asked if it was one of the earlier PD overlays that encompassed entire sections. Mr. Penaranda confirmed that this PD overlay encompasses the apartments on both sides of the street. Mr. Horn added that the entire section of Marina Boulevard was rezoned with a PD overlay in order to allow flexibility from the RO District standards for the properties along the Marina Boulevard corridor. Mr. Horn noted that there is no expiration date for the PD overlay; the expiration date applies to the Planned Development. Councilmember Glaze asked if there are any plans for widening Marina Boulevard. Mr. Penaranda stated that the Engineering and Transportation Department reviewed the plans and made no mention of widening the north side of Marina Boulevard. Councilmember Glaze asked if there are undergrounding requirements. Mr. Jermanis recalled that at one time Marina Boulevard was a priority for undergrounding, but the priority was changed to East 14th Street. He indicated that the intent was to revisit the issue of utility undergrounding on Marina. Mr. Jermanis also noted that there is no plan to further widen Marina Boulevard. Councilmember Santos stated that he liked the comments that were made at the Planning Commission meeting, particularly the positive comments made by Mr. Glass and Mr. Manuel. He stated that he felt this is a very important proj ect, due to its location at the entryway to the Marina, and it will be a great improvement to the area. .
