1N THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LEANDRO RESOLUTION NO. 2004-023 (1009/3005) RESOLUTION APPROVING FIIVDINGS FOR TENTATIVE MAP, TRACT 7452; 1057 MACARTHUR BOULEVARD SUBDNISION AT THE WEST SIDE OF MACARTHUR BOULEVARD NORTH OF SAN LEANDRO CREEK ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBERS 76-350-9 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 in that it provides far a mixed-use project along what has been designated in the General Plan as a mixed-use corridor. The existing General Plan designates the site as a "Mixed Use Corridor". This designation includes a mix of commercial and residential uses oriented in a linear development pattern along major transit-served arterials. Development should be desigried to encourage walking and bicycle use, and should be sufficiently dense to support increased transit services along the corridors (General Plan, p. 3-12). In addition, goals of the Housing Element are fulfilled as the project will provide one for-sale affordable home. The City Engineer has also determined that Tentative Map 7452 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 parcels which are adequately served by streets and with drainage for the mixed-use development. C. The site is physically suitable for residential and retaiUoffice development in that it is relatively flat, and there are no known problems regarding cultural, historical or scenic aspects. D. The proposed density of development of approximately one dwelling unit per 3,000 square feet (13.5 units/acre) will be compatible with adjacent existing low-density single- family development to the west. E. The design of the subdivision or proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. Due to the site's proximity to San Leandro Creek, several agencies, including California Department of Fish and Game, and Alameda Flood Control have been involved in reviewing the development project and have determined, with implementation of adopted mitigation measures (approved with project), no significant impacts are anticipated.
