File Number: 16-458 <br />Leandro Creek”. <br />Further recommendations include making changes to the SP-4, Toler Parking Lot Special <br />Policies to remove the sentence “The building setbacks along East 14th Street shall be 15 <br />feet from the existing property line to align with the Civic Center and create a minimum 25 foot <br />wide sidewalk/pedestrian amenity zone.” And, in the SP-5, North Alvarado Sites Special <br />Policies the proposal is to remove the 150 foot setback requirement from San Leandro Creek <br />and add wording “to encourage development of a creek trail and open space along the San <br />Leandro Creek” and remove wording “for a linear park connection.” <br />Proposed Zoning Map Amendments <br />The recommended Zoning Map amendments are necessary to implement the General Plan <br />Update 2035 Land Use Map, establish a new Industrial Transition land use designation and to <br />modify the Downtown Transit Oriented Development and Downtown Mixed Use land use <br />designations. To facilitate the viewing of these changes, staff highlights the following areas, <br />each with its corresponding map area attached to this staff report. A map of the entire City <br />showing where these districts are located is also attached to the staff report. <br />Industrial Transition <br />Westgate is the shopping center located on Davis Street, west of the I-880 freeway. <br />The proposal would modify the zoning for the Westgate Shopping Center from Industrial Park <br />with a Planned Development overlay (IP-PD) to Industrial Transition with a Planned <br />Development Overlay (IT-PD.) The Westgate shopping center was created in the 1980s with <br />approval of a Planned Development to convert an industrial use to mixed use, consisting of <br />industrial uses and commercial uses including offices, big box retail and other retail. The PD <br />overlay sets specific zoning for the site. The proposed change does not alter the PD approval <br />but rather will inform any future PD modifications or new proposals for businesses which uses <br />are not specifically regulated by the uses allowed in the Westgate PD. The IT zoning is more <br />reflective of the existing uses at Westgate. <br />IP to IT: The change in underlying zoning will no longer allow hazardous materials and will <br />regulate uses such as Parcel Processing. More uses will be allowed such as Assembly Uses <br />and Entertainment with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP); Commercial Recreation, Cultural <br />Institutions, General Industry, Neighborhood Markets and Theaters with an Administrative <br />Review (AR); and will allow outright (P) Food Processing, Restaurants and Retail Sales. <br />Marina West properties are located north and south of Marina Boulevard between Menlo <br />Street to the west and Merced Street to the east. Existing industrial uses include warehouse, <br />light and heavy manufacturing, including the vacant Georgia Pacific gypsum plant, public <br />storage, and some limited commercial uses such as small restaurants. <br />The proposal would modify the zoning from either IP Industrial Park or IG Industrial General to <br />IT Industrial Transition. This recommendation acknowledges the potential for changes in use <br />of properties on Marina Boulevard between the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center and the <br />Page 8 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/13/2016
