File Number: 15-275 <br />The Coastal Conservancy is nominating the Water Trail as a PCA within the nine counties of <br />the Bay Area. The nomination for the Water Trail will include 18 existing and planned potential <br />Water Trail sites in Alameda County, including the San Leandro Marina/Shoreline as a <br />potential Water Trail site. The Coastal Conservancy has asked each of the nine counties and <br />cities with potential Water Trail sites, including the City of San Leandro to support its PCA <br />application. <br />Analysis <br />In 2013 and 2014, the first PCA projects were funded through ABAG’s One Bay Area Grant <br />program. $5 million in funding was offered in a competitive program available for projects in <br />San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties. An additional <br />$5 million in funding was divided between the North Bay county Congestion Management <br />Agencies. As PCAs, the San Leandro Creek and the San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail <br />would be eligible to apply for planning and/or construction grants in the next PCA grant round. <br />In order to become a PCA, supportive resolutions are needed for each area from the local <br />jurisdiction or entity since many of the PCAs cover multi-jurisdictional areas . It should be <br />noted that the PCA designations of the San Leandro Creek and the San Francisco Bay Area <br />Water Trail would not put limitations on private or public property owners. The PCA <br />designations have no bearing on legal land-uses. <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />·This action is consistent with Marina and Shoreline Goal No. 9 of the General Plan, Policy <br />9.02 General Enhancement and Action 9.02-B Long-Range Planning for the Marina Area <br />·This action is consistent with San Leandro Creek Goal No. 25 of the General Plan, Policy <br />25.01 Creek Stewardship, Policy 25.03 Balanced Objectives, 25.05 Habitat Restoration, <br />and Policy 25.08 Watershed Management <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />·Exhibit A - San Leandro Creek Map <br />·Exhibit B - San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail Map <br />PREPARED BY: Anjana Mepani, Planner II, Community Development Department <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 5/12/2015
