CITY OF SAN LEANDRO MEMORANDUM DATE: August 20, 2004 TO: Jagtar Dhaliwal, Associate Engineer FROM: Elmer Penaranda, Planner II Lam"" '~-~--~~~ SUBJECT: City Planner's Report on Parcel Map Number 8200; four residential units at 1903 Doolittle Drive (a vacant lot at the southwest corner of Doolittle Drive and Sitka Street); Patson Company, Inc. (property owner), Crossett & Associates, Inc. (civil engineer). INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Title VII, of Chapter 1 of the San Leandro Municipal Code, please accept this as the City Planner's Report on Parcel Map 8200. BACKGROUND Last November, the planned development known as PLN2003-00079 received approval from the City Council to redevelop the vacant corner property with a new four-unit, two-story residential rowhouse project. The subject property was formerly developed with afull-service gas station and auto repair facility until 1992, when the facility was demolished and removed. The property has sat undeveloped and vacant since then. The subject property is a corner parcel that encompasses approximately 13,300 square feet (0.30 acre) and is located at the southwest corner of Doolittle Drive and Sitka Street. The corner backs up to asingle-family home adjacent to the west and an apartment complex adjacent to the south. Other surrounding uses include aself-service fueling station across Sitka Street to the north, and a large multi-tenanted industrial park, across Doolittle Drive, to the east. To the northerly direction is the Williams Street intersection and to the southerly direction is the Marina Boulevard intersection. Plan Line The subject property is located in a City Plan Line District that requires dedication and eventually widening of the Doolittle Drive frontage by 12 feet on the west side of Doolittle Drive. There is no definitive date for Doolittle Drive to be widened. However, in the interim, the dedicated area for street widening would be required to be landscaped and maintained until the actual widening (see attached Parcel Map 8200). The 13,300 square foot parcel would be reduced to approximately 93- by 127-foot, with a corner radius, leaving approximately 11,734 square feet (0.27 acre) of developable area. This area would be subdivided into four parcels for attached residential rowhomes.
