POLICIES AND ACTIONS PROGRESS Action 53.05-C: Housing Development in the Downtow~t BART Station Area Rezone the following parcels in order to improve their viability as housing opportunity sites during the planning period: • The 2.2-acre BART par-king lot site on the east side of San Leandro Boulevard at West Juana Street (from Public to High Detz`sity Residential). Because of the site's proximity to BART, the zoning designation should enable the construction of at least 80 units on the site, including a significant component of affordable housing. Since this project is contingent on the construction of a BART parking garage west of the Station, the City will support joint planning and funding applications with BART which advance garage construction. • The 13-acre site (comprised of several adjoining parcels) along Alvarado Street between World Savings and San Leandro Creek (from Industrial Park to Mixed Use). Rezoning of this site for mixed use development would be consistent with the adopted Redevelopment Plan for the Plaza area, and with the recently updated San Leandro General Plan. Whereas the current "IP"zoning does not allow housing at all, the mixed use designation would accommodate high density residential development, as well as offices, public facilities, and a limited atttount oflocal-serving retail use. The rezoning should take place within one year after the City adopts a new mixed use zoning district (as directed by the General Plan). Rezoning of both sites should take place within I8 months of Housing Element adoption.
