This project will be one of the <br />first development efforts to implement the City' s Transit Oriented Development (TOD) <br />Strategy previously analyzed in the TOD Strategy FIR that was certified in September of 2007. <br />The project encompasses three separate parcels, identified herein as " Site 1" and " Site 2". Site <br />I is a relatively flat site that has been previously graded and disturbed and is presently used as <br />commuter parking for the San Leandro BART Station (APN#075-0039-007-05). This site is <br />proposed for 200 luxury, multi -family condominiums consisting of four stories of studios, one - <br />and two-bedroom units over a ground floor and basement containing a 290 -space parking garage <br />(Ptn. of APN #075-0047-007-00 and 075-0047-002-00). Site 2 is proposed for a 329 to 345 - <br />stall BART parking structure that will replace all of the BART parking (329 spaces) currently <br />provided on Site 1, plus up to 16 additional stalls. The parking garage will cover a part of <br />Martinez Street which will be vacated. Land will then be set aside for the addition of more <br />BART parking to accommodate future development in later phases pursuant to Vesting Tentative <br />Map 8010. As part of this project, a portion of Martinez Street (between Parrott and Thornton <br />Streets) will be removed and incorporated into the BART parking garage, in addition to <br />proposed street, sidewalk, landscaping and utility improvements. <br />Surrounding land <br />uses and setting: <br />North: Commercial Office <br />South: Industrial <br />East: San Leandro BART Station <br />West: Light Industrial <br />Other public agencies <br />Involved: <br />San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) <br />Cornerstone at San Leandro <br />Crossings Initial Study 1 March 2009 <br />
