Infill Infrastructure Grant Resolution 2 21, 2008 grant application the City Council adopted resolutions for on March 3, 2008. That application was for a different funding stream. BACKGROUND • On September 4, 2007, after a 20-month planning effort, the City Council adopted the TOD Strategy, which specifically identified opportunity sites with housing, office and mixed-use development potential. The parcels associated with this grant application are part of Opportunity Site 24 and Site 17. • On February 4, 2008, the City of San Leandro, the Redevelopment Agency, San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) and Westlake Development Partners, LLC entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement to assess the feasibility of development on the developer's property, the East BART Parking Lot and other BART-owned surface parking areas in a manner consistent with the goals and objectives of the TOD Strategy. • On March 3, 2008, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency approved a resolution supporting the city's application for funds through the Prop 1 C TOD Housing Infrastructure Grant Program, as distinguished from this resolution which is a grant application being made pursuant to the Prop 1C TOD Infill Infrastructure Grant Program. • Westlake Development Partners, LLC would be the master developer for San Leandro Crossings, and would utilize a phased approach and consolidation of BART parking and shared parking. The grant application would be for modifications to San Leandro Boulevard sidewalk, median and street designs; to install street trees and other landscaping; improve the right-of--way along W. Juana Avenue, Carpentier Street, Parrot Street and Martinez Street; and provide for other public infrastructure improvements in support of the proposed San Leandro Crossing mixed use project. • The BART parking lot on the east side of San Leandro Boulevard was identified as an opportunity site in the TOD Strategy; however the parking needs to be replaced. Replacement of the parking is expensive, with costs of approximately $30,000 per space in structured parking. The Prop 1C TOD Infill Infrastructure Grant application provides an avenue for funding of this replacement parking. • The deadline for this resolution is May 4, 2008. The resolution will complete the application packet for the Prop 1 C TOD Infill Infrastructure grant. _Current City Council Policy Not applicable.
