City of San Leandro <br />Housing Element Update (2015-2023) Project <br />Initial Study and Environmental Checklist <br />4. Other Housing Sites <br />The housing inventory sites discussed above satisfy the City's 2015-2023 RHNA allocation; however, for in- <br />formational purposes, the Draft Housing Element also discusses additional sites in the City that could poten- <br />tially meet long-range housing goals, and were not counted as potential housing sites in this Draft Housing <br />Element. Those sites include the following: <br />Shoreline Development Plan <br />The Shoreline Development is a proposed plan to redevelop the San Leandro Shoreline Area, which would <br />include the construction of approximately 354 housing units, consisting of 220 flats, 92 townhomes, and 42 <br />single-family detached homes in the western edge of the City. <br />Underutili.Zed Parcels Zoned for Multi -Family (KM -1800) Housing <br />These parcels are characterized by 5,000 to 6,000 square foot lots containing pre-war single-family homes. <br />The sites are generally located in the central and northeastern part of the city, in areas that were originally de- <br />veloped as single family neighborhoods but zoned in the 1940s and 1950s to accommodate multi -family <br />housing. Many of the older homes were replaced by small apartment buildings during the 1950s and 1960s, <br />however, some of the single family bungalows remain. <br />Small Trailer Parks with the Potential to be Redeveloped with Multi -Family Housing <br />There are nine trailer parks in the city, all zoned at multi -family densities. If these sites were redeveloped, <br />there could be a potential net gain in housing units. <br />Large Lots in Single-FamiyAreas with the Potential to be Subdivided <br />These sites consist of large single-family lots generally located in the Bay -O -Vista neighborhood and in the <br />Daniels Drive are near Lake Chabot Road, which have the potential to be subdivided. Generally, these parcels <br />are more than 12,000 square feet and have more than 100 feet of street frontage, which could be divided in <br />half to create new parcels. <br />Large Lots in the Mulford Gardens Area, with the Potential for a Second House <br />This group of sites is located in Mulford Gardens with the potential for a second detached home. Existing <br />zoning regulations in this area permit two independent detached homes on a parcel of 12,000 square feet or <br />larger. Approximately half of the lots in Mulford Gardens already contain two homes with about 130 lots po <br />tentially able to accommodate a second home. <br />Commercial Properties in the Downtown Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Area identified in the TOD Plan <br />These sites are those in the San Leandro BART Station TOD area that are still in active use. The TOD Plan <br />envisions a 25 -year buildout horizon; thus, some of the sites are unlikely to be available before the Housing <br />Element horizon year of 2023. These sites include the 7 -acre San Leandro Shopping Center at Washington <br />and East 14tl, Street, a block of existing retail on the north side of Davis at Hays, and a warehouse area along <br />Alvarado Street west of the BART Station. According to the TOD Plan, these sites would have the potential <br />for 820 units of high-density housing. <br />Secondary Dwelling Units <br />Although the housing sites analysis did not quantify the potential for secondary dwelling units, the 2012 revi- <br />sions to second unit standards make second units more viable, and are expected to result in an increase in <br />applications for secondary dwelling units. <br />Page 112 <br />
