(APPLICANT: WESTLAKE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, LLC). APN'S 075-0047- 002,075-0047-003-02, 075-0047-007. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION On October 6, 2008, the City Council held a public hearing and amended Article 25, Section 5- 2506 of the Zoning Code and added paragraph "C" which streamlines the discretionary review procedure and allows for Planning Commission review of all discretionary permits when at least one permit is within their purview. The code amendment that made this change, became effective on November 20, 2008. Because the Vesting Tentative Map is a part of the application and would require Planning Commission approval, both the Site Plan Review Permit and the Vesting Tentative Map went before the Planning Commission for its review and recommendation on January 22, 2009. On January 22, 2009, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the 100 unit affordable housing project on the west side of San Leandro Boulevard, now called "The Alameda." The Commission reviewed both the Site Plan review Permit and the Vesting Tentative Map. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the Site Plan Review Permit and recommended that the City Council approve this Vesting Tentative Map. Because the Site Plan Review Permit was not appealed, only the Vesting Tentative Map is before the City Council for its review and approval. The 200 unit condominium project, now called "The Cornerstone at San Leandro Crossings" at i the site of the existing BART parking lot will come before the Planning Commission and City Council on a later date. The BART replacement garage will also be heard in association with this second project.
