II. [SECTION 200] THE PROJECT AREA <br /> • <br /> A. [Section 201 ] Boundary and Legal Description <br /> The boundaries of the Project Area are shown on the Redevelopment Plan Map (the <br /> "Map ") attached as Appendix A and are described in the Legal Description of the <br /> Project Area attached as Appendix B. <br /> B. [Section 202] Influences on the Project Area <br /> The Project Area consists of a total of approximately 1,040 acres divided into two <br /> sub - areas: the West San Leandro Sub -Area and the MacArthur Boulevard Sub -Area. <br /> The West San Leandro Sub -Area consists of approximately 1,024 acres and primarily <br /> contains industrial and commercial properties. The Sub -Area encompasses nearly all <br /> non - residential properties west of Interstate 880, north of Burroughs Avenue. All <br /> properties within the West San Leandro Sub -Area are predominantly urbanized and <br /> none are in agricultural use. A number of structures are older, poorly maintained and <br /> inadequate to meet the requirements of businesses located in or potentially relocating <br /> to the area. This is evidenced by instances of inadequate setbacks, utilities and <br /> loading areas; building deterioration and dilapidation; faulty additions; outdoor <br /> storage and production; and underutilized structures. <br /> The MacArthur Boulevard portion of the Project Area consists of approximately 16 <br /> acres located along MacArthur Boulevard between Durant Avenue and Joaquin <br /> Avenue (including a parcel just south of Joaquin Avenue). Most of the properties are <br /> commercially zoned and consist of vacant parcels, older shopping centers, professional <br /> buildings and some newer retail establishments. All properties within the MacArthur <br /> Boulevard Sub -Area are predominantly urbanized and none are in agricultural use. A <br /> number of structures are older, poorly maintained and inadequate to meet the <br /> requirements of businesses located in or potentially relocating to the area. This is <br /> evidenced by instances of inadequate setbacks, utilities and loading areas; building <br /> deterioration and dilapidation; faulty additions; outdoor storage; and underutilized <br /> structures. <br /> Both sub -areas were selected for redevelopment because a significant portion of each <br /> area is blighted as described above.
