EAST BAY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (APPLICANT) BAMMER TRUST, M. PENA, SANACT INC. (PROPERTY OWNERS) Findings The City Council of the City of San Leandro finds that the proposed map, together with the provisions for its design and improvements, are as follows: A. The proposed map will be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map, amended June 6, 2005, in that it provides for a clustered residential development (townhouses) in what has been designated in the General Plan as a "Medium Density" land use area. The actual low- medium density residential development would be compatible with the immediate residential zoning in the Washington Avenue and Springlake Drive area. The proposed plan carries out General Plan Policies 2.05, 3.01 and 3.04 which is to ensure infill development are compatible with existing residential development, to encourage a mix of residential development types in the City, including single-family homes on a variety of lot sizes, as well as townhomes, row houses, live-work units, planned unit developments and multi- family housing and to encourage infill development on vacant or underused sites within residential areas, respectively. The City Engineer has also determined that Tentative Map 7579 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 which is adequately served by streets and with drainage for the townhouse development. C. The site is physically suitable for residential townhouse development in that a fair amount of the site is relatively flat. This site area would accommodate the proposed townhouse development. There are no known problems regarding cultural, historical or scenic aspects. Soil stability will be reviewed thoroughly prior to issuance of building permits. A mitigation monitoring plan to address hydrology, hazardous materials, noise, traffic and utilities on the site will be implemented. D. The proposed low-medium density of development of approximately one dwelling unit per 4,266 square feet (10.2 units/acre) will be compatible with the adjacent low residential density development to the north and the east.
