3.04.020 3. Policies of the general plan of the city of San Leandro, and 4. Direction from the city council plan- ning commission, property owners and citi- zen advisory groups. F. On September 10, 1998, the planning commission approved a resolution adopting the preliminary plan for the redevelopment plan in accordance with Section 33324 of the Health and Safety Code. G. On March 1, 1999, a preliminary re- port to affected taxing entities was presented to the redevelopment agency. The report summarized staff's findings regarding con- ditions in the project area (including blight and financial analyses) and contained pro- posed project information as required by law. The redevelopment agency approved the report for distribution to all affected tax- ing entities. (Ord. 99-025 § 101, 1999) 3.04.020 General. This is the redevelopment plan for the West San Leandro/MacArthur Boulevard redevelopment project (the "project area") in the city of San Leandro (the "city"), county of Alameda, state of California. The San Leandro redevelopment agency (the "agen- cy") prepared this plan pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law of the state of California (The "CRL") (Health and Safe- ty Code, Section 33000 et seq.) and all ap- plicable local codes and ordinances. Statuto- ry changes enacted after adoption of this plan, which are applicable to the agency, the project area, or the plan, shall supersede the requirements of the plan, whether or not the plan is formally amended to reflect such changes. The Plan sets forth the agency's powers, duties, and obligations to implement the re- development program for the project area. (San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Supp. No. 2, 12-05) 98 The plan does not constitute a specific plan for the project area or set priorities for spe- cific projects. Rather, the plan provides a framework and process for preparing specif- ic plans, establishing priorities, and propos- ing solutions for specific problem areas. (Ord. 99-025 § 102, 1999) 3.04.030 Boundary and legal description. The boundaries of the project area are shown on the redevelopment plan map (the "map") attached as Appendix A and are de- scribed in the legal description of the project area attached as Appendix B. (Ord. 99-025 § 201, 1999) 3.04.040 Influences on the project area. The project area consists of a total of ap- proximately one thousand forty (1,040) acres divided into two sub -areas: the West San Leandro Sub -Area and the MacArthur Boulevard sub -area. The West San Leandro sub -area consists of approximately one thousand twenty-four (1,024) acres and primarily contains indus- trial and commercial properties. The sub- area encompasses nearly all non-residential properties west of Interstate 880, north of Burroughs Avenue. All properties within the West San Leandro sub -area are predomi- nantly urbanized and none are in agricultural use. A number of structures are older, poorly maintained and inadequate to meet the re- quirements of businesses located in or po- tentially relocating to the area. This is evi- denced by instances of inadequate setbacks, utilities and loading areas; building deterio- ration and dilapidation; faulty additions; outdoor storage and production; and un- derutilized structures.
