Eden Road Plan Line 2 December 18, 2006 In accordance with the General Plan, a new outlet is planned for Eden Road. A committee was formed in 2004 to recommend an alignment for the new outlet. The committee met in November 2004 and again in February 2006 to review alternative routes. A recommendation was made to provide an outlet for Eden Road by extending Business Center Drive northward, providing a connection between Eden Road and Davis Street. Eden Road is currently a private road. This project will convert it into a public right-of-way. Additional roadway width outside the City of San Leandro limits is required. The Port of Oakland agreed to contribute the required land in the Addendum to Settlement Agreement dated November 15, 2004. The land is out of the golf course playing area and is currently used for access and storage of equipment. The extension of Business Center Drive will require land from five parcels; all zoned Industrial General (lG). One of the parcels, currently used to store dirt and debris, will be purchased by the City for expansion of the water pollution control plant. The other parcels are used to store used automobiles and sell auto parts. One building at 25 I 2 Davis Street will need to be removed. This building is currently leased to an auto parts supply company and a manufacturing company. The concept for the roadway improvements includes two travel lanes, two bike lanes, a sidewalk along one road edge, street lights, fire hydrants, a storm drain system, and a traffic signal at the intersection of Doolittle Drive and Eden Road. The new signal is expected to reduce the likelihood of collisions and make turning movements easier, which will increase safety. The project will provide a second exit from Davis Street, which will allow egress in the event of an accident that blocks travel from the intersection of Davis Street and Doolittle Drive. The project will provide new street frontage and greater access to the remaining parcels which will assist the neighborhood in developing toward its highest and best use. Analvsis This project provides for the establishment of right~of-way lines for Eden Road and an extension of Business Center Drive from Davis Street to Eden Road. A 64-[00t right-of-way will be established for Eden Road and a 55-foot right-of-way will be established for the extension of Business Center Drive. A 9-foot slope easement will also be established on each side of the extension of Business Center Drive. When the new right~of-way lines are adopted by the City Council, it shall, thereafter, be unlawful for any person, fiml, or corporation to construct or erect any building or structure within the space between the right-of-way lines or upon the easements so established. The planning commission held a public hearing on this matter, found this project to be in conformance with the General Plan, and passed a motion to forward the project to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. Before any action for establishing right-of-way lines is taken by the City Council, the City Council must pass a resolution of intention designating the time and place of a public hearing to consider the establishment of said right-of-way lines.
