From: Stephen Cassidy [mailto:stephenhcassidy@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2016 10:49 PM To: _Council Cc: Zapata, Chris; Kay, Jeff; Battenberg, Cynthia; Liao, Thomas Subject: Proposed Zoning Code Changes Dear Mayor and City Council. At the bottom of this communication is a letter I have sent to the San Leandro Times concerning certain changes to the Zoning Code in San Leandro proposed by staff in conjunction with the General Plan update and upcoming meeting the City is conducted. I have attached are three maps relevant to the points I make in the letter. The first map, TOD Land Use Map comes for the final TOD study report and shows the areas slated for new, denser development under the report. Importantly, the upper Estudillo area (defined as Estudillo Avenue from approximately the fire station to Bancroft Avenue) was not included as a area for new, denser development. The second map is the current San Leandro Zoning Code Map for the upper Estudillo area which mirrors the recommendations of the TOD study report. To understand the map, you need to what the zoning codes stand for: DA-2 (Downtown Area 2). To implement specific provisions of the Downtown San Leandro Transit-Oriented Development Strategy by providing for designated areas on the periphery of the Downtown core where new development shall be sensitive to and of a scale consistent with adjacent Residential Districts and where mixed use developments are allowed and encouraged but not required. P Professional Office District. To provide opportunities for offices at appropriate locations, subject to development standards and landscaping requirements that prevent significant adverse effects on adjacent uses. Retail activity is not appropriate. RS Residential Single-Family District. To provide opportunities for single-family residential land use in neighborhoods, subject to appropriate standards.
