The <br />existing Marina Inn and Horatio's restaurant buildings on the site would remain a part of the <br />project area. <br />New features on the site as a result of the project include a 150,000 -square -foot office <br />campus, a 200 -room hotel, a 15,000 -square -foot conference center, 354 housing units, three <br />new restaurants totaling 21,000 square feet, and a new parking structure. To accommodate <br />this growth a variety of public amenities would be installed. Some amenities include a new <br />2,500 -square -foot community library/meeting space, an aquatic center/dock, bocce ball <br />courts, outdoor recreational areas, picnic areas, a perched beach, pedestrian piers, two miles <br />of public promenade, a natural shoreline element along the interior of the harbor basin, a <br />pedestrian/bicycle bridge, a boardwalk/lookout pier, several small finger piers, and <br />refurbishment of existing public restrooms on site. <br />Work on the proposed project began in 2005. In 2008, the City entered into an Exclusive <br />Negotiating Agreement with Cal -Coast Development for development of the site. Also in 2008, <br />a 35 -member Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) was created to provide input to Cal -Coast <br />and the City on the project. Working together over a three year period, Cal -Coast, the City and <br />the CAC developed the project, which is currently in the final stages of environmental review. <br />The objectives of the project are to: <br />Build an economically viable and vibrant mixed-use development that provides <br />amenities and services, including: <br />o A banquet/conference facility for residents and others to hold large parties such <br />as weddings, graduation parties, and other events in San Leandro. The <br />banquet/conference center would also support tournaments at the Tony Lema <br />Golf Course. <br />o A hotel, with limited food and beverage service to hotel guests. <br />o Multiple dining options. <br />o Housing units responsive to market demands to increase City housing stock for <br />moderate to above moderate income units. <br />o Class A office space to attract innovative businesses and quality jobs. <br />o An enhanced library/community building. <br />• Ensure the project uses are synergistic and create a regional destination for dining, <br />lodging, entertainment and recreation. <br />• Provide recreation opportunities such as bocce ball courts, a small boat launch and <br />public gathering spaces, a 20 -foot -wide public promenade including lookout stations, to <br />increase and enhance public access to the San Francisco Bay. <br />• Multiple areas for the public to enjoy scenic views and interact with the San Francisco <br />Bay. <br />• Enhance connections between the San Leandro Shoreline and the San Francisco Bay <br />Trail. <br />• Remove current blight, including the former Blue Dolphin site pillars and fencing and <br />the fenced former Boatworks site. <br />• Ensure the redeveloped portion of the San Leandro Shoreline compliments existing <br />amenities and provides connection between the amenities and current shoreline uses. <br />• Ensure that development is provided in an environmentally sensitive manner, and <br />promotes the latest trends in energy efficiency. <br />City of San Leandro Page 2 Printed on 511212015 <br />
