File Number: 15-414 22 dwellings per gross acre. In addition, the General Plan Table 3-2 lists RM -2000 as a corresponding zoning district to the General Plan Map Medium Density Residential designation. The PD overlay serves to establish a procedure for the development of these two sites in order to reduce the rigidity and inequities that result from application of zoning standards and procedures designed primarily for smaller residential parcels. Similar to the rezoning proposed for west of Monarch Bay Drive, this residential rezoning would ensure orderly and thorough planning and design that will result in high-quality urban design for this sensitive site. The proposed Concept Plan for the rezoning to CC(PD) Commercial Community, Planned Development Overlay District is consistent with the adopted Land Use Element of the General Plan designation of General Commercial (General Plan Map) and with the Shoreline and other applicable policies. The Concept Plan for the rezoning to RM-2000(PD) Residential Multi -Family, Planned Development Overlay District is consistent with the proposed General Plan land use amendment to the two portions of the nine -hole golf course. In addition, the CC(PD) District is consistent with the goals, policies and actions of the General Plan for the future development plan for the Shoreline Area. The RM-2000(PD) is also consistent with the General Plan goals and policies for providing new housing opportunities at the two portions of the nine -hole golf course. The Concept Plan for both PD overlay rezoning areas is also compatible with surrounding development. Existing adjacent residential uses will continue to be largely buffered from the Project by the existing golf course, while the Project's recreational uses around the harbor basin largely adjoin existing recreational uses to the south. Through the PD Project review, the Concept Plan will be tailored to refine project design to further ease the transitions to different adjacent uses. In addition, the rezoning to include the PD overlay carries out the broad purposes of the Zoning Code to protect and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. More specifically the PD overlay carries out the purposes of the Zoning Code as follows, to: 1. Preserve the character and quality of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas consistent with the character of the development districts of the City; 2. Foster convenient, harmonious, and workable relationships among land uses; and 3. Achieve progressively the land development described in the General Plan. 4. Promote the economic stability of existing land uses that are consistent with the development policies of the General Plan and protect them from intrusions by inharmonious or harmful land uses. 5. Ensure the provision of adequate open space for light, air, and fire safety. 6. Permit the development of office, commercial and related land uses that are consistent with the General Plan in order to strengthen the City's economic base. 7. Require the provision of adequate off-street parking and loading facilities, and promote a safe, effective traffic circulation system. 8. Ensure that service demands of new development will not exceed the capacities of existing streets, utilities, or public services. 9. Conserve and enhance key visual features of San Leandro's setting, including the bay front, consistent with the General Plan. 10. Improve the design and aesthetic quality of new and existing development. 11. Provide a mechanism for ensuring implementation of EIR mitigation measures through detailed development and site design plans. The PD Project review process provides a precise guide for the physical development of the City of San Leandro Page 7 Printed on 7114/2015
