File Number: 16-676 <br />The kiosk exterior design is a low-profile single story structure articulated with materials (i.e. <br />cultured stone, stucco walls, wood posts and roof trim, and flat concrete tile for the roof) and <br />design elements (i.e., covered front porch area, wainscot, gabled roof, faux- chimney) that fit <br />in a residential neighborhood context. The City Engineering and Transportation Department <br />identified a sanitary sewer line near the proposed kiosk for its restroom. <br />Planning Commission Removal of Proposed Anchorage Drive Improvements <br />The Planning Commission recommended removal of the proposed Anchorage Drive <br />improvements (i.e., gate arm and raised barrier) in its motion to approve. In their discussion, <br />the Planning Commission found that restricting all ingress to Bayfront Drive and taking away <br />vehicle ingress via Anchorage Drive at the Lewelling Boulevard Circle would create traffic <br />impacts (increased traffic) to the various streets that flow west to east and south to east (i.e., <br />Harbor Way, Oceanside Way, Cruiser Drive, Charter Way, Mariner Way, Regatta Way, <br />Atlantus Avenue, and the south end Anchorage Drive). The Planning Commission determined <br />that the Heron Bay community should have two ways in and out of the existing neighborhood. <br />In addition, the Commission stated that there was no overriding safety or security data <br />provided to support a need for the installation of a gate, even though the design functioned as <br />a partial gate with a raised landscaped barrier. The Commission felt strongly that the <br />proposed Anchorage Drive improvements would be contrary to existing General Plan Policy <br />against gating a community. The Applicant had no objection to the Planning Commission’s <br />recommendation on this matter. <br />Prohibition to Stop Vehicles and Bay Trail / Public Access Directional Signage <br />With the appropriate recommended conditions of approval, both the Planning Commission <br />and staff are able to make findings to recommend approval of the proposed modifications to <br />the Heron Bay Planned Development to accommodate a kiosk and attendant. <br />Below are the two recommended conditions to which the Applicant disagrees: <br />·The attendant/security personnel shall not stop pedestrian, bicycle or vehicular traffic. <br />In addition, the attendant/security personnel should not conduct any business in the <br />street or sidewalk. At all times the operation of the kiosk shall be in compliance with <br />BCDC and City of San Leandro requirements in maintaining public access to and from <br />the Bay Trail and Shoreline Area. Any incidents of public detainment or impeding public <br />access to the shoreline shall be immediate grounds for the revocation of this Planned <br />Development Modification. (Condition II. C.). <br />·The kiosk’s Front Elevation (south facing Bayfront Drive) and the Right Elevation (east <br />facing the Lewelling Boulevard circle), should include BCDC directional signage <br />identifying the Bay Trail, Public Shore and/or Parking <br />(http://www.bcdc.ca.gov/pdf/planning/SSSG.pdf). Furthermore, as part of the Building <br />Permit application submittal, a plan shall be provided showing additional Public Access <br />signs installed along Bayfront Drive clearly informing and directing public access to the <br />City’s Shoreline area and the Bay Trail to the satisfaction of the Community <br />Development Director. The removal or relocation of any required BCDC public access <br />signage shall be prohibited without prior written approval from the Community <br />Development Director. (Condition II. E.). <br />Page 5 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/13/2016
