File Number: 16-335 <br />Facilities. <br />Staff recommends this revision in order to limit the ability for a heavy concrete or stonework facility <br />(aka “batch plant”) to be located in San Leandro, as this is a source of pollutants and other major <br />impacts on surrounding uses and properties. <br />Proposed Amendments to Article 6, Commercial and Professional Districts <br />Staff proposes to amend various sections of Article 6, as follows: <br />C-RM Commercial Regional Mall District - Use Regulations <br />Add Public Safety Facilities as a permitted use in Section 2-616, C-RM District - Use <br />Regulations to enable a police substation at Bayfair Shopping Center. <br />P Professional District - Use Regulations <br />Add Multi-Family Residential and Mixed Use Residential as a conditionally-permitted uses in <br />Section 2-618.B. P District - Use Regulations to allow certain types of residential uses in this <br />zone where they were previously not allowed and at appropriate locations, subject to <br />development and landscaping standards. With the proposed changes, a maximum density of <br />up to 24 dwelling units per acre would be allowed. This recommendation is being made to <br />acknowledge that the P Districts are in residential areas surrounded by lower density homes. <br />PHD Professional/High Density District - Use Regulations <br />Staff proposes to eliminate entirely Section 2-620 Professional High Density (PHD) District - <br />Use Regulations to remove the PHD district, since it exists on only one parcel in the City, <br />which is concurrently being proposed to be rezoned to DA-2. Corresponding removal of any <br />references to the PHD zoning district will be made throughout the Code. <br />Change of Minimum Lot Size Requirement in Downtown Area (DA) Districts <br />A revision is recommended to decrease the minimum lot size requirement in all DA Districts <br />from 20,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet. This revision will allow lots of 10,000 square <br />feet or greater to be developed at the density more appropriate for that district. Currently, lots <br />under 20,000 square feet are limited to maximum densities of 24 dwelling units per acre. <br />While many lots between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet will be limited by parking, set back <br />and other requirements, this may increase the flexibility for development of some parcels. <br />Change to DA-1 District Maximum Density <br />In the DA-1 District, increases are also proposed for the allowable maximum density to be <br />changed from 75 to 100 dwelling units per acre for multi-family residential units consistent with <br />the General Plan 2035. This change is being recommended as it reflects the objectives of the <br />2007 Downtown Transit Oriented Development Strategy. <br />Density Bonus in DA Districts <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/28/2016
