The development plans would be <br />compatible with the surrounding area. The proposed architecture would enhance the appearance <br />of the Hays and Parrott Streets neighborhood. The rezone would be a reduction in the zoning of <br />the property to a less intensive use - from a maximum density of eight residential units on the <br />property to six units. Although the General Plan calls for high-density development, the proposed <br />project is a good transition product between the existing lower-density development to the north <br />and the higher-density development to the south of the property. The proposal meets various <br />General Plan Policies by providing a multi-family density project which would be situated very <br />near the San Leandro BART station, the San Leandro Boulevard, Washington Avenue, East 14th <br />Street, and Davis Street transit corridors. The development, due to its close proximity, would also <br />be well served by the San Leandro Downtown area and the Downtown Plaza Shopping Center. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission and staff recommends that the City Council approve the rezone, the <br />planned development, the vesting tentative map to develop a new small lot single-family homes <br />and subdivision, subject to the attached recommended conditions and findings. <br />
