FINDING: BRIDGE Housing offers a variety of social services to its residents of the 100 unit affordable project. A child care facility is proposed, although funding for same has not been identified. Policy 3.10 CONVERSION OFNON-RESIDENTIAL LAND TO HOUSING AND P UBLIC USES Encourage the development of new housing on underutilized commercial and industrial sites which meet the following criteria: • Sites on the edges of commercial or industrial areas, near to established residential areas. • Sites where continued use with commercial or industrial activities could perpetuate existing land use conflicts. • Sites with adequate infrastructure, access, and road capacity. • Sites which are not constrained by external environmental factors, including freeway, railroad, and airport noise. • Sites where conflicts with surrounding uses would not be created in the event of re- use. • Sites which lack `prime " qualities for commercial or industrial development, such as direct freeway or rail access. • Publicly-owned land which is not being used to its fullest potential. Sites meeting the above criteria should also be considered for churches, libraries, parks, community facilities, and other uses that provide necessary services and advance the quality of life in the community. FINDING: The proposed project is on the site of the old Del Monte packing plant and is located near the San Leandro BART station in an area that is transitional from commercial uses to residential uses. The site is surrounding by public streets and is supported by an existing water, drainage and sewer system. The City Engineer has also determined that Tentative Map 8010 is also consistent with the City's Subdivision Ordinance. B. The design and improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the General Plan in that it includes an orderly division of a parcel that is adequately served by streets and with drainage for the proposed development. C. The site is physically suitable for residential development in that the site is relatively flat. This site area would accommodate the proposed development. There are no known problems regarding cultural, soil, historical, or scenic aspects. D. The proposed development is consistent with the City's Transit Oriented Development Strategy Area that encourages infill development in the City's transit corridors. The subdivision is near to the San Leandro BART station. E. The design of the subdivision or proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
