(developer); SMP Engineers (civil engineer). <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Pursuant to Title VII, of Chapter 1 of the San Leandro Municipal Code, please accept this as the City Planner's <br />Report on Parcel Map referenced above. <br />BACKGROUND <br />On February 2, 2015 the City Council approved PLN2014-00044, a Planned Development to construct a <br />subdivision consisting of four detached, two-story, single-family residences that would comprise between <br />1,493-1,630 square feet of living area each, which includes three bedrooms and three baths. Each unit would <br />have an attached two -car garage. In addition to the City Council approval, the project also received positive <br />recommendations for approval from the Library -Historical Commission and the Planning Commission in <br />reviewing the project at their respective public meetings of October 21, 2014 and December 18, 2014. <br />The subject property is on the north side of Warren Avenue and is undeveloped. It encompasses 19,248 <br />square feet. Adjacent properties to the east, south, west and north are developed with single-family homes <br />with the exception of the adjacent property to the northeast which is developed with a four unit <br />condominium. The subject property is just south of the City's Downtown and east of the East 14th Street <br />South Area Corridor. <br />DETAILS OF PROPOSAL <br />The Parcel Map proposes to subdivide the single 120 feet wide and 160.4 feet deep lot, encompassing 19,248 <br />square feet (0.44 acre), into four smaller parcels each containing a detached dwelling unit. The lot would be <br />subdivided into four smaller parcels at 60 feet wide by 80.2 feet deep (4,812 square feet). Two units would <br />be situated in a line along the western half and the other two, opposite, along the eastern edge. A centrally <br />located driveway via Warren Avenue would serve access the four units that flank it (see Parcel Map). The <br />driveway would access the two -car garages at the ground floor of each unit. The driveways and adjacent <br />landscaped areas to the driveways, located in the Common Area, would be improvements maintained by the <br />homeowners association. <br />On Parcels 1 and 3, the proposed homes along the Warren Avenue frontage would maintain a 20 -foot front <br />yard setback, the minimum requirement in the single-family neighborhoods. The setbacks of the homes from <br />the east and west sides would be seven feet where the minimum required is five feet. The Parcel Map shows <br />
