The TOD Strategy aims to stimulate new development within Downtown San Leandro's existing context and: • Capitalize on the existing and planned transit infrastructure; • Improve transit ridership; • Provide a diversity of housing choices; • Infill the areas located on the periphery of the downtown core with a rich diversity of mixed-use projects; • Extend the existing mixed-use downtown area westwardtothe Washington Avenue corridorand the Washington Plaza shopping center; • Develop the vacant land and replace the warehouse buildings around the existing BART station to maximize the transit ridership potential of the land; • Strengthen and help ensure the success of that transit infrastructure; and • Be sensitive to the existing context of the downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed project would develop vacant land with residential and commercial land uses adjacent to the Downtown San Leandro BART station, which would capitalize on the existing transit infrastructure, provide housing choices, and infill the downtown core. Therefore, the project is consistent with TOD BART Area Mixed -Use goal strategies identified in the TOD EIR.
