1.04.020 Existing characteristics of <br />project area. <br />The project area is characterized by the <br />existence of buildings and properties that <br />suffer from functional and structural obso- <br />lescence, economic deterioration, disuse, <br />depreciated property values and impaired <br />investments, due to age, deterioration, faulty <br />interior arrangement, and faulty exterior <br />spacing. It is declared that the project area is <br />a blighted area, the redevelopment of which <br />is necessary to effect the public purposes set <br />forth in the Health and Safety Code of the <br />state of California (33031, 33032, 33033). <br />(Plaza 1 redev. plan § 2, 1986) <br />1.04.030 Purpose of redevelopment <br />project. <br />A. The purpose of this redevelopment <br />project is to revitalize the project area <br />through the joint participation of property <br />owners, businessmen and the redevelopment <br />agency and to prevent further deterioration <br />and obsolescence to the detriment of the <br />public welfare. <br />B. This project will promote and protect <br />the sound redevelopment of the project area <br />and the resulting general welfare of the city <br />of San Leandro: <br />1. By creating new parking areas, im- <br />proving existing parking, improving circula- <br />tion through creation of malls and new <br />means of access, and by developing new <br />public facilities and public open spaces; <br />2. By creating thereby a strong incen- <br />tive for private rehabilitation and moderni- <br />zation of existing structures and the devel- <br />opment of new ones; <br />3. By establishing rules, procedures and <br />guidance to facilitate and expedite such pri- <br />vate rehabilitation, modernization and new <br />development; <br />4. By establishing a comprehensive de- <br />sign concept and development standards to <br />enhance and unify the appearance of the <br />project area through guidance and coordina- <br />tion of private and public improvement pro- <br />grams (33020, 33021, 33035-e). (Plaza 1 <br />redev. plan § 3, 1986) <br />1.04.040 Population densities and <br />building intensities. <br />Existing building intensities will be sub- <br />stantially increased by the project as the land <br />covered by one-story buildings and grade - <br />level parking areas is cleared to make room <br />for multi -story buildings and parking garag- <br />es. Average building height will increase as <br />additional parking supplies and improved <br />public transportation permit more intensive <br />use of remaining building sites. No building <br />shall exceed the height or coverage limita- <br />tions specified in the zoning ordinance. <br />Types of building construction permitted in <br />this plan are as set forth in the fire district <br />and building codes of the city of San <br />Leandro. (33333) <br />In accordance with the General Plan, and <br />in view of the very strong commercial char- <br />acter of this project, no residential uses will <br />be permitted. (Plaza 1 redev. plan § 5, 1986) <br />1.04.050 Conformance with general <br />plan. <br />This redevelopment plan is compatible <br />with the general plan of the city of San <br />Leandro and will protect and promote sound <br />development and redevelopment of a blight- <br />ed area in conformance with the provisions <br />of said general plan.
