INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Title VII, of Chapter 1 of the San Leandro Municipal Code, please accept this as the City Planner's Report on Parcel Map 10659 referenced above. BACKGROUND The subject property encompasses 30.74 acres and is located near the corner of Washington Avenue and Halcyon Drive. A development project was entitled by the Board of Zoning Adjustments as a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review, on August 3, 2017 (PLN17-0003). The approved project includes demolishing the existing structures on the site of the former Kraft Foods manufacturing facility at 100 Halcyon Drive and redeveloping the site into an industrial complex. The project is called the San Leandro Business Center and consists of three new buildings totaling 553,200 square feet. The Conditional Use Permit also included height exceptions for the 70 foot tall architectural screen for co -locating wireless telecommunication facilities on Building 1 where 57 feet is the maximum allowed (15 feet above the parapet) and for 43.5- to 46 feet tall southeastern corner portion on Building 2 where 25 feet is the maximum height being within 100 feet of a R Residential District building. Aside from the height exceptions, the typical height for the buildings are 43.5 feet to 44.5 feet tall. For visual interest to the rooflines, there are minor incremental increases at the corners of the building to 46.5 feet and 49 feet for the vertical architectural features. The BZA found these heights complied with Zoning Code Section 2-734 C. where the City may allow a maximum building height of fifty (50) feet in the IG District. The entire site is zoned Industrial General with an Assembly Use Overlay (IG -AU District). The buildings would accommodate a range of industrial, research, warehouse and office uses (assembly uses such as club, lodge, or social hall are not intended uses in the buildings). The property owner proposes to subdivide the property into three parcels, creating one parcel for each building. DETAILS OF PROPOSAL Parcel Map 10659 proposes to subdivide the subject site into the following three parcels: • Parcel 1, 6.5797 acres would contain Building 1 having a floor area of 121,643 square feet. This parcel would have approximately 350 feet of frontage along Washington Avenue.
