1N THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LEANDRO RESOLUTION NO. 2005-126 (3069) RESOLUTION APPROVING FINDINGS FOR VESTING TENTATIVE MAP TRACT 7659 635/641 MACARTHUR BOULEVARD ALAMEDA COUNTY ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBERS 76-328-2-1 and 76-328-1 MACARTHUR/SUPERIOR, LLC (APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER) 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, in that it provides for attached residential development (row homes) in what has been designated in the General Plan as a "Corridor Mixed Use" land use area, which allows for residential development with density of up to 24 units per gross acre. The actual high density residential development would be compatible as a transitional use between the immediate commercial zoning within the MacArthur Boulevard corridor and single-family residential zoning within the Broadmoor Neighborhood (Superior and Lewis Avenues). 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. In addition, the proposal carries out General Plan Policy 13.04 which is to ensure that properties developed along public transit routes are developed in a way that maximizes the potential for transit use. The City Engineer has also determined that Tentative Map 7659 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 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. D. The proposed medium density of development of approximately one dwelling unit per 1,979 square feet (22 units/acre) would be a compatible transitional use between the single-family uses to the west, and commercial and religious assembly uses to the north, east and south.
