DRAFT MINUTES Page 14 City of San Leandro City COlilleil and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-December 4, 2006 Community Development Director Hanson Horn gave a PowerPoint presentation describing the preliminary land use concept and framework elements of the Downtown TOD Strategy. Mr. Horn described the Land Use Plan, including proposed land uses; building heights and use of open space; circulation and parking, including the Parking Plan; improving vehicular and bicycle circulation, and enhancing the pedestrian environment. Mayor Young asked when the Plan would be completed. Mr. Hom indicated that it would depend upon the EIR, and it is anticipated that the final Plan would be presented to the Council by late July. The Zoning Code amendments would hopefully come to thc Council in Fall 2007. Mayor Young asked if no new projects would be allowed in that area until then. Mr. Horn confirmed there would be no building allowed under the current moratorium unless the Council chose to amend the ordinance. On the subject of open space, Councilmember Santos asked if either the Westbay/ MacArthur property or the large lot on Elsie are being considered for development as open space. City Manager Jermanis indicated that both properties are currently being considered by housing developers. Mr. Horn noted that there are a few key open space elements: the importance of San Leandro Creek as an open space amenity; the desire to create a Civic Plaza in the downtown area with a strong pedestrian space; the importance of incorporating additional open space and parks for new and existing residents along San Leandro Creek; and strengthening some of the key corridors through the downtown area, such as the creation of a bike path along the railroad tracks.
