1537 Hays Street; PLN2005-00141 8 September 5, 2006 Revised Exhibit A - Title Page with Detailed Elevations Revised Exhibit B - Site Plan with Existing Adjacent Building Footprints Revised Exhibit C ~ Site Plan Revised Exhibit D - Typical Floor Plans Revised Exhibit E - Exterior Elevations Revised Exhibit F ~ Vesting Tentative Map Exhibit G - Arbor Perspective Exhibit H - Landscape Plan Massing Study - for Informational Purpose CONCLUSION The proposal provides in-fill housing on an underutilized site. The development plans would be compatible with the surrounding area. The proposed architecture would enhance the appearance of the Hays and Parrott Streets neighborhood. The rezone would be a reduction in the zoning of the property to a less intensive use - from a maximum density of eight residential units on the property to six units. Although the General Plan calls for high-density development, the proposed project is a good transition product between the existing lower-density development to the north and the higher-density development to the south of the property. The proposal meets various General Plan Policies by providing a multi-family density project which would be situated very near the San Leandro BART station, the San Leandro Boulevard, Washington Avenue, East 14th Street, and Davis Street transit corridors. The development, due to its close proximity, would also be well served by the San Leandro Downtown area and the Downtown Plaza Shopping Center. The Planning Commission and staff recommends that the City Council approve the rezone, the planned development, the vesting tentative map to develop a new small lot single-family homes and subdivision, subject to the attached recommended conditions and findings.
