The redevelopment agency intends to purchase the residual portions of these par- cels from the city (and add them to the adja- cent former city corporation yard site [in- cluded in a previous amendment to the Plaza 2 plan]), which is eventually to be redevel- oped. Several of the structures along the west side of San Leandro Boulevard are deterio- rating or functionally obsolete. Also, several residential uses still exist in the area, inap- propriately intermixed with commercial and light industrial uses. The intent of the plan is to cause this area to be redeveloped for commercial or light industrial uses. The remaining portion of Expansion Ar- ea A includes the lands of the Union Pacif- ic/Western Pacific Railroad right-of-way north of Davis Street, which is the site of the railroad's public loading dock and the ele- vated BART tracks. The agency plans the development of a public parking lot and ac- cess driveways in this area to serve the load- ing dock and the redeveloped properties fronting on the west side of San Leandro Boulevard. Expansion Area B is that area situated west of BART's San Leandro station and is bounded generally by West Estudillo Ave- nue on the north, Martinez Street and the Union (Western) Pacific Railroad on the east, Williams Street on the south, and Al- varado Street and the Southern Pacific Rail- road on the west. The major portion of this area, north of Thornton Street, contains sev- eral deteriorating former Del Monte food processing buildings now used for general warehousing and storage. Clearance and redevelopment of this area with predomi- nately office uses is envisioned by the agen- cy. (San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Supp. No. 2, 12-05) 24 The portion of the area south of Thornton Street contains a mix of deteriorating and vacant buildings intended for light industri- al, warehouse and office uses. The area west of the Southern Pacific right-of-way is ear- marked for redevelopment as a business park, while the uses east of the railroad right-of-way may be selectively redeveloped with a business park or light industrial uses. Expansion Area C is the area along the north and south sides of Davis Street, west of Orchard Avenue. This area extends west to Wainwright Avenue, which is the general limits of the commercial uses along this por- tion of Davis Street. Most of the commercial uses along the north side of Davis Street are of marginal quality, economically and phys- ically. This area is generally envisioned to be redeveloped with commercial uses. The properties along the south side of Davis Street were included as a part of the Davis Street Gateway project, a major thor- oughfare widening and upgrading project. Also, an assisted senior housing project is to be developed along the south side of Davis Street, between Orchard and Wayne Ave- nues. Expansion Area D is located west of In- terstate 880 on the north side of Davis Street, between Warden Avenue and the eastern edge of the Southern Pacific Rail- road right-of-way. This area is characterized by a mix of heavy commercial and industrial uses (including the Lasley Truck Stop), a truck farm and a single-family home adja- cent to Phillips Lane, a twenty (20) foot wide unimproved private access road. This area suffers from an inappropriate mix of uses, inadequate access and circulation, im- proper parcelization and deteriorating and dilapidated structures. The area is proposed
