2 CBD Management District Plan Summary The name of this Community Benefit District is the Downtown San Leandro Community Benefit District (the “CBD”). The District is being formed pursuant of the City of San Leandro Community Benefit District Ordinance Title 2, Chapter 2-20 of the San Leandro Municipal Code as hereinafter referred to as the Ordinance. Developed by the San Leandro Downtown Association and the CBD Steering Committee – this Management District Plan is proposed to improve and provide special benefits to individual parcels located within the boundaries of the newly proposed 2013 Downtown San Leandro Community Benefit District. The proposed CBD will provide special benefit district improvements and activities, including cleaning, security, beautification, district identity, possible transportation related activities and other special benefit programs to parcels within the boundaries of the proposed district. The proposed Downtown San Leandro CBD serves to improve the individual parcels, attract new customers to their businesses, increase sales, increase occupancies and enhance the benefitting individual parcels within the CBD. The proposed CBD seeks to fund the special benefits that will be provided over the next fifteen years, based upon keeping the greater Downtown San Leandro area clean, safe, orderly, attractive, well marketed with special events and programs, and increase commerce within the boundaries. Process to Establish the Improvement and Activity Plan/Outreach Efforts: Since summer of 2012 business and property owners in Downtown San Leandro have met to discuss the advantages of creating this downtown special benefits district. An initial survey was sent to property owners in the proposed CBD area in August 2012 to ascertain their level of support for the establishment of this assessment district and obtain information regarding the type of enhanced services they were interested in receiving. The survey information was instrumental in determining the services to be delivered by the CBD. Numerous public meetings have been held with the Downtown Association and newly created Downtown San Leandro CBD Steering Committee. Public meeting dates follow:  July 27, 2012 – Downtown Association  August 8, 2012 – Steering Committee  September 13, 2012 – Steering Committee  October 18, 2012 – Steering Committee  November 19, 2013 – City Council meeting  January 10, 2013 – Steering Committee  January 24, 2013 – Steering Committee  February 7, 2013 – Steering Committee  February 28, 2013 – Steering Committee approved Management Plan  April 4th, 2013 – Steering Committee launches the petition drive
