Mr. 110m described the Land Use Plan, including proposed land uses; <br />building heights and use of open space; circulation and parking, including the Parking <br />Plan; improving vehicular and bicycle circulation, and enhancing the pedestrian <br />cnvironment. <br /> <br />Mayor Young asked when the Plan would be completed. Mr. Hom indicated that it <br />would depend upon the EIR, and it is anticipated that the final Plan would be presented <br />to the Council by late .lull'. The Zoning Code amendments would hopefully come to the <br />Council in Fall 2007. Mayor Young asked if no new projects would be allowed in that <br />area until then. Mr. Hom confirmed there would be no building allowed under the <br />current moratorium unless the Council chose to amend the ordinance. <br /> <br />On the subject of open space, Council member Santos asked if either the Westbay/ <br />MacArthur property or the large lot on Elsie are bcing considered for development as <br />open space. City Manager Jennanis indicated that both properties arc currently being <br />considered by housing developers. Mr. Hom noted that there arc a few key open space <br />clements: the importance of San Leandro Creek as an open space amenity; the desire to <br />create a Civic Plaza in the downtown arca with a strong pedestrian space; the <br />importance of incorporating additional open space and parks for new and existing <br />residents along San Leandro Creek; and strengthening some ofthe key corridors through <br />thc downtown area, sllch as the creation of a bike path along thc railroad tracks. <br /> <br />B.
