Opportunities to include affordable units and market rate units <br />within the same development projects should be pursued. <br />FINDING: The proposed project is an affordable housing project and will be managed by <br />BRIDGE housing and will support an underserved segment of San Leandro's citizens by <br />offering low income housing. Additionally, parcel 1 will contain 400 market rate <br />condominiums. <br />Policy 3.03 <br />AFFORDABLE HOUSING DESIGN <br />Design new affordable housing to blend in with the existing fabric of the community. <br />Affordable housing should be located in a variety of neighborhoods rather than <br />concentrated in one particular part of the City. <br />FINDING: The proposed project is designed by David Baker and Partners, a nationally <br />recognized architectural firm that specializes in affordable housing projects. The <br />architects are using historical and contextual design themes and colors to fit the character <br />of the community. <br />
