November 9, 2009 Section 4: Transportation and Land Use corridor route, to allow up to 3,431 new living units (residential and mixed use.) The city estimates that 15% of the 3,431 units may be built by 2015 and 90% will be completed by 2030. San Leandro has also secured $24.46 million in Prop 1 C funding for this project from the State of California." Phase I of San Leandro Crossings includes: ^ The Alameda: This 1.25 acre development will feature 100 affordable homes in a 4- story residential apartment building over asingle-story parking structure. ^ Cornerstone: Luxury, multi-family rental community will be built in BART's East Parking Lot. 200 units are planned here, which will utilize similar architectural features as "The Alameda." ^ Replacement Parking Garage: Athree-level, 329 space parking garage will be constructed replacing existing parking spaces in BART's East Parking Lot. ^ Master Plan infrastructure upgrades The City is also pursuing development of two additional priority sites identified in the TOD Strategy - 1550 East 14th Street (the former Albertsons) and Town Hall Square (the Davis/Hays/East 14th Street block). In July 2009, the Redevelopment Agency purchased the 1.7 acre former Albertsons site, following demolition of the 26,000 square-foot building, and plans to enter into an exclusive agreement for development of the site consistent with the TOD Strategy which requires greater density including retail along East 14th Street and residential units above. The developer will also be exploring the possibilities of developing the Town Hall Square consistent with the TOD Strategy which requires greater density, including residential, at the site as well. The TOD Strategy also identified the need for additional parking downtown to allow greater development density. The two-story downtown parking garage, which currently has approximately 250 spaces, is being replaced by a four-to-five story parking garage. Construction is scheduled to start in 2010. The General Plan Transportation Element promotes development that is designed to meet the needs of pedestrians as well as automobiles. The City is committed to site planning and architectural design that makes walking a more pleasurable activity. The goal is not to make it more difficult to drive, but rather to make highways, parking lots, and cars in general, a less dominant feature of the built environment.
