<br />Adopted 7/16/2001 - Effective 8/15/2001 <br />(includes amendments effective through 2007) <br /> <br />City of San Leandro Zoning Code - Article 25 <br /> <br />compatible with those of surrounding structures. Visually incompatible <br />elements, such as roof-mounted utilities, are fully screened from public <br />view. If the proposal is for an addition to an existing building, such <br />additions shall appear as an integral element of the building. Additions <br />shall not have a "tacked on" appearance, and either the addition should be <br />consistent with the existing building's design element, or the existing <br />building should be remodeled concurrently with construction of the <br />addition. <br /> <br />C. The landscapinq complements the architectural design, with an <br />appropriate balance of trees, shrubs, and living ground covers, and <br />provides adequate screening and shading of parking lots and/or <br />driveways. <br /> <br />D. Detail features, such as signs, fences, and lighting for buildings, parking <br />lots, and/or driveways are visually consistent with the architectural and <br />landscape design and minimize off-site glare. <br /> <br />E. Exceptions to above reqardinq expansions and/or alterations to existinq <br />nonconforminq structures and sites. The decision maker or the decision <br />making body may vary from the standards outline in Subsection(s) A <br />through E above and approve a Site Plan that can not achieve compliance <br />with these standards due to the limitations created by pre-existing <br />nonconforming structures and site features. In such cases, the priority of <br />Site Plan review is to reduce, to the degree feasible given the scale and <br />scope of the proposal, the nonconforming features. The nonconforming <br />features to be addressed shall include, but are not limited to, the following: <br /> <br />1. Deficiencies in landscapinq shall be corrected, with selective additional <br />plantings, primarily where such landscaping can have the greatest <br />visual benefit to the overall area. The scale and scope of such <br />landscaping requirements will be relative to both the degree of non- <br />compliance with current Code requirements and the <br />changes/improvements being proposed by the applicant. <br /> <br />2. Obsolete and unused equipment, such as roof-mounted utilities, <br />exterior manufacturing equipment, and unused pole sign and wall sign <br />cabinets shall be removed, as required. <br /> <br />3. The effects of past "deferred maintenance," where such has been <br />identified, shall be corrected by such effort as repainting, replanting of <br />existing landscape areas, and removal of unused equipment, vehicles, <br />and debris. <br /> <br />AR.25 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
