Assessor's <br />Parcel Numbers 80G-1325-5-1, 80G-1406-26, and 80G-1406-29. Heron Bay <br />Homeowners Association c/o A. A. Berger, General Counsel (appellant). <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The Heron Bay Homeowners Association (Association) proposes to install vehicular and <br />pedestrian gates and fencing across Bayfront Drive, Anchorage Drive, and the open space at <br />the north side of the Lewelling Boulevard circle, which would effectively gate the residential <br />community. The purpose would be to control vehicular traffic into the Heron Bay residential <br />development and permit bicycle and pedestrian traffic via a swinging gate along the Bayfront <br />Drive sidewalk. <br />The Heron Bay Planned Development was approved by the City Council in the 1990s as an <br />open and non -gated residential community. Staff determined that the proposal is a major <br />modification of the Planned Development. Just as the Planned Development to establish an <br />open and non -gated Heron Bay neighborhood was subject to discretionary review by the <br />Planning Commission and the City Council, so too is the proposal to modify it by gating and <br />fencing the neighborhood. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed modification to <br />the Planned Development and denied it. <br />This matter was originally noticed for the May 15, 2014 Planning Commission meeting. Prior <br />to that meeting, the applicant requested a postponement to the next Planning Commission <br />meeting date. Staff recommended continuance of the matter and the Planning Commission <br />agreed to continue it to the June 19, 2014 meeting. <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 8126/2014 <br />
