File Number: 16-458 <br />Downtown Areas <br />Downtown Area, North includes two areas, one located at the intersection of Chumalia and <br />Hyde Streets proposed to be rezoned from RM-1800 to DA-1; and another at the corner of <br />Hays and Davis Street proposed to be rezoned from DA-4 to DA-1. <br />RM-1800 to DA-1: the proposed zoning change will allow for greater residential densities for <br />this site (from 24 units per acre to 100 units per acre) and will allow for the application of the <br />DA parking requirements which are reduced from the RM parking standards. Staff has <br />determined that this property, which is located very close to the downtown, should have been <br />rezoned to a DA designation in 2007. <br />DA-4 to DA-1: the proposed zoning change will not change the density allowance as the DA-4 <br />currently allows for 100 units per acre which is equal to the proposed density allowed in DA-1. <br />The DA-1 designation which allows for a greater range of commercial uses is more suitable to <br />this location which lies in the core downtown area, which is also zoned DA-1. <br />Downtown Area, South properties are located along the east side of Hays Street between <br />Parrott and Thornton Streets. The subject sites are developed with single-family and <br />two-family residences and one restaurant. The proposed zoning change is from CC <br />Commercial Community to DA-2 Downtown Area 2. <br />The change from CC to DA-2 will not create any legal non-conforming uses, because <br />pre-existing residential uses and restaurants are permitted in the DA-2 district. The DA-2 <br />designation is appropriate for this site because it lies on the perimeter of the downtown core. <br />The densities allowed will increase from 22 units per acre allowed in the CC district to 40 units <br />per acre allowed in the DA-2 district. <br />Downtown Area, West includes properties immediately adjacent to the San Leandro <br />Downtown BART station to the east and south, which are being rezoned from DA-5 or PS <br />Public/Semi-Public to DA-6; as well as a swath of properties at the northern terminus of <br />Alvarado Street and under the BART tracks between Peralta Avenue and Davis Street. <br />Various zoning districts (PS Public/Semi-Public, IP Industrial Park and IL Industrial Light) are <br />being rezoned to the adjacent DA-4 district. <br />These rezones will clean up fragments of industrial and public/semi-public properties that <br />should have been rezoned to the DA-4 zoning district when the Downtown TOD zoning was <br />put in place in 2007. As mentioned earlier in this report, this recommendation also eliminates <br />the DA-5 zoning district, which applied to just two properties and allowed for unlimited density, <br />and rezoning them to DA-6 which has a similar density rule and use regulations. <br />Downtown Area, East (Bancroft and Estudillo Area) includes 20 properties that were at <br />one time proposed to be zoned DA-2. The proposed rezoning of this area has been withdrawn <br />and is no longer recommended. The zoning designation for the Bancroft and Estudillo Area <br />will remain unchanged. Discussion related to the addition of Mixed-use and Multi-Family <br />Residential uses as conditionally permitted uses, requiring approval of a CUP at a public <br />hearing by the Board of Zoning Adjustments, can be found in the previous section discussing <br />the Professional Office (P) zoning district. A map of the Bancroft and Estudillo Area is <br />attached to this report, for reference purposes only. <br />Page 10 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/13/2016
