Maintain an ongoing dialogue with residents of neighborhoods adjacent to the Marina to <br />address traffic, noise, and other issues associated with Marina operations and future <br />development. Early and frequent opportunities for neighborhood input should be <br />provided in Marina development decisions (Policy 9.01). <br /> <br />. Enhance the San Leandro Marina area as a distinguished recreational shoreline, with <br />complementary activities that boost its appeal as a destination for San Leandro residents <br />and visitors (Policy 9.02). <br /> <br />. Pursue the development of a new hotel at the Marina, along with complementary uses <br />such as restaurants and ancillary retail, office, and conference facilities... (Action 9.02- <br />A). <br /> <br />. Prepare long-range plans for the Marina area, including the park, lagoon, golf course, <br />and surrounding shoreline neighborhoods and open spaces... (Action 9.02-B). <br /> <br />. Capitalize upon the Marina's potential to attract and support water-oriented <br />development.

Encourage "gateway" improvements to enhance the approach routes to the Marina while <br />minimizing the impacts of increased traffic on area neighborhoods... (Policy 9.06). <br /> <br />Permits and/or Variances Granted <br />
