<br /> <br />Recommended Findings of Fact December 20, 20012 <br />PLN2012-00039 Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />provided to prevent any significant impact on t he proposed on-street parking within the <br />existing neighborhood. <br /> <br />3. That the proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code; including any <br />specific condition required for the proposed use, in the district, in which it would be <br />located. <br /> <br />The RO(PD) designation allows for a Planned Development (PD) application. In <br />exchange for exception to the maximum density, reduced s etbacks, encroachment outside <br />the daylight plane, and the exception to height requirements, the community will receive <br />higher quality rental housing that includes three bedroom units and completely <br />refurbished existing housing units. In addition, the development includes a <br />comprehensive list of on-site improvements such as attractive and well appointed <br />architectural exterior design of new buildings, new landscaping, new and enhanced <br />paving, and a supply of off-street parking that exceeds the minimum required. <br /> <br />4. That the proposed use will not create adverse impacts on traffic or create demands <br />exceeding the capacity of public services and facilities, which cannot be mitigated. <br /> <br />The surrounding streets have adequate capacity to accommodate the traffic generated by <br />this development. With its close proximity to public (bus) transportation, traffic <br />generation may be less than developments in San Leandro that are not conveniently <br />located close to public transportation. There are public facilities in the area to serve this <br />development such as the expansive City shoreline recreational area and a branch library. <br /> <br />There is adequate public ser vice to the proposed subdivision, including but not limited to; <br />the gas and electric company, the water district, waste disposal, cable TV, and police and <br />fire departments. <br /> <br />5. The Planned Development Project Plan will provide superior urban design in <br />comparison with the development under the base district zoning regulations. <br /> <br />The site planning for the Planned Development allows for adequate front yard and rear <br />yard setbacks, vehicular parking, and private backyards for residential development. The <br />height of the homes (with the exception of the daylight plane exception for TF6) and the <br />coverage of the homes do not exceed the maximum allowable in the RO base district. In <br />addition, the design of the project contains architectural patterns and elements that <br />contribute to the character of the Planned Development, including the exterior design <br />details (i.e., front porches, Craftsman-style front doors, decorative light fixtures, <br />bracketed and trimmed end gables, and rafter tails), use of colors, and new landscaping <br />landscaping for all areas contiguous to the street and common driveway areas. The <br />overall design and features included within Planned Development enhances the <br />development’s long-term livability and value retention in this new residential <br />development. <br />
