Minutes -City of San Leandro City Council and Page 5 San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting -- May 17,1999 Council Member Nardine complimented the Planning Commission on all the work they have done on this issue. She referenced an earlier development down the street, the Halcyon Development, which, at the time, was on a zero lot line. She noted the children who came from that development crossed over the railroad tracks, the lights at Washington Avenue, and the lights at Fremont Avenue, to go to Monroe School. She commented on the impact on Schools as it relates to the 20 to 1 ratio. She noted there is a school site in the Madison area that is not currently being used for a school, but is being used for administrative offices. With regard to traffic, Council Member Nardine noted, with everyone she has spoken to, that seems to be the biggest concern. Vice Mayor Galvan questioned the demographics as they relate to the consumers of this project. It was noted that a large percentage of single individuals and couples without children , with a combined income averaging $80,000, tend to live in this type of complex. The Mayor indicated this proposal is not unlike some of the units in Heron Bay. She stated she promotes the concept to have staff try to address the truck traffic attempting to go through on Monterey and crossing over the overpass. She further clarified that there is a homeowners' association that goes along with this development, and the streets will be privately owned and maintained. Council Member Nardine made a motion to set aside the Appeal and to approve, in concept, the rezoning of the property to asingle-family, residential use (R5-PD); to send the proposal back to the Planning Commission for a Fublic Hearing and recommendation on the revised Planned Development Plan for a b2-unit project; and that the staff convey the specific comments and concerns discussed this evening. The following Motion was then introduced: -- Minute Order No. 99-28, Matter of Appeal by Reed Onate, Trumark Companies, of the Planning Commission's Denial of A-98-9, PD-98-3, and Vesting Tentative Map, Tracts 7092 and 7093.
