Reference Material <br />Assembly Use Overlay Criteria <br />• Site is not located along a major commercial corridor (identified as E. 14"' Street and <br />Marina Boulevard between San Leandro Boulevard and Merced Street); <br />• Site is not located within the following General Plan Focus Areas: Downtown, Bayfair, <br />Marina BlvdISOMAR, or West San Leandro (each of these Focus Areas is governed by <br />one or more of the following, which governs future development — special <br />study /guidelines, special overlay district, or location within a redevelopment area); <br />• Site is not located in a regional - serving retail area (identified as Greenhouse <br />Marketplace, Westgate, Marina Square, and `old' Target site); <br />• Site is not located inside the Y2-mile study area identified for the Downtown Transit - <br />Oriented Development (TOD) Strategy; <br />• Site abuts or is within % mile of an arterial street (as identified in the Circulation <br />Element of the General Plan); <br />• Site is not located in a Residential Zone (Assembly uses are already conditionally <br />permitted in residential zones, so would not produce new areas for assembly uses to <br />locate if considered); <br />• Site is not considered public land, and is not zoned Public Service (PS), Open Space <br />(OS), or Commercial Recreation (CR); property is not owned by an Exempt Public <br />Agency, or leased/owned by a public utility (these areas represent properties and uses <br />that are unlikely to change); <br />• Overlay Area must allow a contiguous area greater than or equal to two acres. (This <br />figure was derived from research indicating that large assembly uses require a minimum <br />2 -acre site to accommodate bigger building size and to allow for adequate on -site <br />parking. Staff is not recommending that a minimum acreage be included as part of the <br />Zoning Code text amendments, and suggests that future applications for amendments to <br />the Assembly Use overlay that may be less than 2 -acres in size be given flexibility in a <br />manner that would conform to the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act <br />[RLUIPA].) <br />
