This home is not on the City's list of historic properties. This site encompasses 15,000 square feet (0.34 acre), measuring 100 feet wide, fronting Hays Street, and 150 feet deep. Adjacent to the north is a single-family home and two duplexes; to the south is a five-story, 25-unit condominium building built in 1965; to the southeast is a five-story, 28-unit condominium building built in 1976; and to the west are single- family homes. To the east, across Hays Street, is one undeveloped lot (5,250 square feet), various single-family dwellings and a single-story ll-unit apartment complex, behind the single-family home at the northeasterly comer of Parrott Street and Hays Street. This block also contains the former and currently vacant East Bay Municipal District (EBMUD) offices and another undeveloped parcel which are both owned by the City of San Leandro Redevelopment Agency. The entire block including the subject property is zoned RM1800 Residential Multi-Family District. The entire block across the street to the east is zoned CC Community Commercial District. PROPOSAL Rezoning The development proposal includes a request to rezone the project site from RM1800 Residential Multi-Family District to RM2500(PD) Residential Multi-Family District, Planned Development Overlay District.

The driveway would access the two-car garages at the ground floor of each unit and four uncovered visitor parking spaces at the rear of the project site. A heavy timber arbor structure is proposed to arch over the driveway serving the property. The lot sizes would range from 2,000 square feet to 2,975 square feet. The two lots closest to Hays Street would each comprise 2,525 square feet; the middle lots would each comprise 2,000 square feet; and the reannost lots would each comprise 2,975 square feet. Each parcel would have a 666 square-foot footprint occupying it.
