<br />Downtown TOD Strategy <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />September 4,2007 <br /> <br />. All of these motions included the caveat that the recommendation excluded anything that <br />related to the Special Policy Area I, also known in the TOO Strategy as the Downtown <br />South Gateway site or the "Downtown Albertsons" site. The Planning Commission was <br />unable to come to a conclusion on the inclusion of that site in a Special Policy Overlay <br />District and was also unsure about the inclusion of language for that site in the S-Overlay <br />Criteria. They expressed concerns about requiring residential development on a site that <br />is currently only retail and thought that could represent a hardship for the current property <br />owner in the short term given current market conditions. At the same time, they <br />recognized the importance of that property having a high quality development and <br />wanted to eventually see mixed-use development at the site. It was noted during their <br />deliberations that implementation of that site with mixed-use development was the first <br />priority of the Citizen Advisory Committee. This discussion was in response to public <br />comments made by Eric Nelson, the property owner representative of the site. He noted <br />the financial hardship that development of this site would entail if required to build a <br />mixed-use residential project in the current real estate market. The Planning Commission <br />expressed concern that they were unable to spend the time to thoroughly discuss all of the <br />issues related to establishment of Special Review Overlay Criteria for the site. Rather <br />than continue the item, staff suggested that the Planning Commission forward <br />recommendation on the other TOO related items and let the Planning Commission <br />comments on the Albertsons site be reflected by the minutes (see attached minutes of <br />August 23,2007 Planning Commission meeting). <br /> <br />. Although not mentioned at the Planning Commission meeting, Business Development <br />and Planning Services staff have received many inquiries from developers who are <br />interested in developing mixed-use development at the Downtown Gateway site. <br /> <br />. Three comment letters were received after the close of the comment period and prior to <br />the Planning Commission meeting of August 23, 2007. These letters were reviewed by <br />staff and the environmental consultant and it was determined that the topics were <br />generally addressed by the FEIR and no new issues came up. <br /> <br />Project Description <br /> <br />. The proposed Downtown San Leandro Transit-Oriented Development Strategy (TOD <br />Strategy) establishes a land use framework, a comprehensive circulation system, design <br />and development guidelines, and a series of implementation actions that will guide new <br />development in the TOO Strategy Area of San Leandro for the next 25 years. The <br />Strategy establishes the policies that developers and Community Development staff will <br />follow for new projects in the TOD Strategy area, informing them of required or <br />allowable uses, building heights and various elements of building design. Therefore, the <br />TOD Strategy does not represent an actual project involving physical development or <br />improvements. Rather, it proposes regulatory changes to encourage future development <br />within the Strategy Area. The Strategy will introduce new land use regulations and <br />design guidelines that will affect new development in the Downtown Area and will <br />introduce Special Review Overlay Criteria for the development of certain properties <br />within a Yz mile radius of the intersection of East 14th and Davis Streets. <br />
