City of San Leandro's Efforts to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing in the Jurisdiction <br />Action 7.2: Mitigate constraints on the <br />production of affordable housing. <br />Fair Housing Matrix -pg 17 <br />The HOME Consortium jurisdictions <br />shall continue to pursue modifications <br />of current zoning and other local <br />policies regulating housing <br />development that pose a direct or <br />indirect constraint on the production <br />of affordable housing. Such policies <br />include density limits, zoning <br />regulations, parking requirements, <br />and growth management programs. <br />In FY 2016-2017 City Council approved an <br />update to the General Plan (2035 General <br />Plan). Key features ofthe updated <br />General Plan include increasing mixed use <br />and residential density particularly in the <br />City's projected growth center downtown <br />and creation of new land use categories <br />which allow for higher density <br />residential/mixed use development on <br />affected industrially zoned parcels that <br />are in close proximity to the San Leandro <br />BART Station (industrial Transition Land <br />Use) and parcels near the Bay Fair BART <br />station (Bay Fair TOD Land Use), The City <br />also amended its Zoning Code as part of <br />its efforts to modernize the Code, create <br />more flexibility to meet market demands <br />while ensuring compatibility with existing <br />neighboring uses, and to bring zoning in <br />certain areas of the City into conformance <br />with both the 2007 Downtown Transit <br />Oriented Development Strategy and 2035 <br />General Plan Update. There were no <br />General Plan or Zoning Code updates in FY <br />17-19. <br />City of San Leandro FY 2017-18 CAPER <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) <br />41 <br />
