<br />DRAFT MINUTES Page 5 <br />City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-May 7, 2007 <br /> <br />policy considerations; past City standards for issues such as parking, traffic, setbacks, <br />and fences. He noted that sometimes trade-offs are made by relaxing a standard to <br />achieve a better outcome for another aspect of the project. Mr. Horn noted the <br />importance of examining the intent and purpose of the zoning standards rather than just <br />following the letter of the law. He pointed out that while a planned development allows <br />for greater staff discretion .and flexibility, there is a higher standard of review, with <br />recommendation required by the Planning Commission and final approval by the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />Planning Manager Debbie Pollart gave a PowerPoint presentation describing the <br />proposed project. <br /> <br />Staff responded to questions from the Council regarding the land swap version of the <br />proposal, the short wall along MacArthur Boulevard and the hours of construction. <br /> <br />Applicant Reid Settlemeir and Architect David Ruffin gave a PowerPoint presentation <br />providing additional details on the proposed project, including the outreach to <br />neighborhood associations, architectural details and landscape features. <br /> <br />The Hearing was then opened to the public. <br /> <br />Due to the number of speakers for this item, Mayor Santos adjusted the time limit to <br />three minutes per speaker. <br /> <br />Phil St Laurent, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, commenting that <br />the project does not fit in with the surrounding area and should be commercial rather <br />than residential. Mr. St. Laurent commented on the narrow streets, the amount and <br />speed of traffic on MacArthur Boulevard, and the lack of parking for the project. <br /> <br />Bridgit Lawley, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, expressing <br />concern that the proposed three-story homes in a neighborhood with lower profile <br />homes would be grossly out of proportion and aesthetically unappealing. <br /> <br />Karen Clarkson, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, commenting that <br />surrounding property owners were not given adequate notice of the project, and the <br />Broadmoor Neighborhood Association has not seen nor approved the current version of <br />the project. Ms. Clarkson commented that the project does not meet General Plan <br />guidelines or zoning regulations, does not provide sufficient parking and would result in <br />increased traffic, requires five variances and has not received sufficient community <br />input or BZA review. <br /> <br />Leslie Salmon-Zhu, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, commenting <br />that zoning requirements should not be relaxed to allow a development which does not <br />conform to existing standards. Ms. Salmon-Zhu addressed the subjects of setbacks, <br />fencing and landscaping, for which the developer is requesting exceptions. <br />
