Each unit would comprise approximately 1,455 square feet of living area, which includes three bedrooms and three baths. Each unit would have an attached two-car garage. The subj ect property is an underutilized property at the west side of Hays Street, between West Juana Avenue and Parrott Street, encompassing 15,000 square feet (0.34 acre), measuring 100 feet wide, fronting Hays Street and 150 feet deep. The subject property is just south of the City's Downtown Plaza Shopping Center and east of the San Leandro BART Station on Davis Street and San Leandro Boulevard. DETAILS OF PROPOSAL Tract Map 7810 proposes to subdivide the single lot into six smaller parcels each containing a detached dwelling unit. Three units would be situated in a line along the northerly edge and the other three, opposite, along the southerly edge. A centrally located driveway via Hays Street would serve access to the six units that flank it (see Tract Map). The driveway would access the two-car garages at the ground floor of each unit and four uncovered visitor parking spaces at the rear of the site. A heavy timber arbor structure is proposed to arch over the driveway entry serving the property. The driveways, front landscaping, visitor parking spaces and the arbor structure would be improvements maintained by the homeowners association.
