File Number: 14-186 <br />Westlake Development Group , L.P (Westlake), on behalf of Chang Income Property <br />Partnership, LP. (Chang), the owner of 1333 Martinez Street, has requested that the City <br />vacate portions of the public right-of-way, as shown on Exhibit A, to accommodate the <br />construction of the proposed Downtown Tech Campus . The areas to be vacated are Martinez <br />Street, between Parrott Street and Thornton Street ; the westerly half of Martinez Street <br />between West Estudillo Avenue and Parrott Street ; and West Estudillo Avenue between <br />Martinez Street and Alvarado Street . Existing utility easements within the vacated areas will <br />be retained. Chang Income Property Partnership, LP currently owns 1333 Martinez Street <br />and has proposed to develop the site for the Downtown Tech Campus . <br />These sections of Martinez Street and West Estudillo Avenue are bounded by the Downtown <br />San Leandro BART Station on the east , Alvarado Street on the west, Davis Street on the <br />north and Thornton Street to the south and are currently used for parking primarily by BART <br />patrons. <br />In addition, the developer will improve the easterly half of Martinez Street into a bicycle and <br />pedestrian paseo which will ultimately become a portion of the East Bay Greenway. The <br />improvements will include a twenty-foot paved pedestrian and bicycle path, streetlights and <br />storm water treatment facilities. The project will also include undergrounding of all overhead <br />utilities. The Development Agreement between the City and Westlake requires that Westlake <br />maintain the improvements on both the vacated and retained portions of the public <br />right-of-way. <br />The City’s involvement with Westlake and the entitlement of Westlake Development Partner’s <br />property began in 2008 with the original residential-focused San Leandro Crossings Master <br />Plan. The plan at the time included multi-housing units and office spaces . With the housing <br />downturn, Westlake refocused on developing 1333 Martinez Street into an office complex , <br />while a non-profit developer partner, Bridge Housing Corporation, assumed the efforts to <br />develop housing units at 1400 San Leandro Boulevard. <br />Westlake and the City have spent a substantial amount of time and work over the past six <br />years to create a viable and innovative Transit -Oriented Development (TOD) development <br />plan to arrive at the current plan, which is expected to become a catalyst for economic growth. <br />Analysis <br />The City supports the Downtown Tech Campus project (Project), and finds it to be vital for <br />implementing the City’s Downtown Transit -Oriented Development Strategy (TOD Strategy) <br />goals. The project is in line with the City’s vision to tap into economic opportunities generated <br />from the growth of the Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area high tech industry . As <br />the first privately funded project in the TOD Strategy area , the project has strong potential to <br />attract similar developments. <br />The proposed project will create an opportunity for a unique workplace district in Downtown <br />San Leandro for more than 1,800 new employees. It will provide an opportunity to attract and <br />retain businesses that can benefit from the high-speed broadband capacity created by Lit San <br />Leandro. The project will transform a site, which has been vacant for a substantial amount of <br />time, into a high density office campus and potentially an important municipal revenue driver <br />for years to come. <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/10/2014
