The existing development contains 12 <br />different floor plans to add variety to the different unit-types available for ownership. The applicant <br />would provide various site improvements including the increased parking supply with redesign, <br />new landscaped enhancements along the Haas Avenue frontage, new laundry facilities, and <br />interior improvements such as new appliances, fixtures, and paint. The use of the site as <br />condominiums would promote property ownership in San Leandro and should remain as a <br />compatible use to the surrounding development. <br />The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve the use permit for <br />a condominium conversion and the vesting tentative map and condominium plan, subject to the <br />attached recommended findings and conditions of approval. <br />
