SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION This amendment will permit the developer to file two final (tract) maps for the specified vesting tentative map where each final map covers only a portion of the tentative map. The filing of each final map will extend the life of the entitlements over the remaining portions of the tentative map. Staff recommends adoption of a resolution to permit the filing of two phased final maps for Vesting Tentative Map 8010. BACKGROUND On March 2, 2009, the City Council approved the Vesting Tentative Map Tract 8010 for the San Leandro Crossings Project, amixed-use, transit-oriented development located near downtown and the San Leandro BART station. The vesting tentative map for the subject property proposes 400 residential condominium units on Lot One, 100 rental housing units on Lot Two, and a BART parking garage on Lot Three. Lot Four is a small parcel with no proposed development. These projects conform to the City's downtown transit-oriented development strategy. The developer did not anticipate phasing the final map at the time the application for the tentative map was made. Analysis The California Government code contains sections known as the Subdivision Map Act that regulate the subdivision of land. Subdivisions of five or more parcels or units are accomplished in two steps via a tentative map and a final map. Developers vest or lock in their entitlements by
