Policy LU-3.4 Promotion of Infill. Encourage infill development on vacant or underused sites within residential and commercial areas. GOAL ED-5. Provide amenities that attract and retain businesses and encourage those working in San Leandro to also live in San Leandro. Policy ED-5.2 Housing Production. Substantially increase the production of a variety of housing types meeting the needs of persons at all income levels. Action 53.03-C: Affordable Housing Trust Fund Maintain a local affordable housing trust fund that is capitalized with in-lieu fees from the inclusionary housing program and condo conversion fees. The fund should be used to leverage affordable housing development in San Leandro. The project increases the housing supply in a manner that will be compatible with the existing area. The development will result in an improvement in appearance to the property, which is currently underutilized. In addition to aesthetic quality, the new townhouse condominiums will be designed, constructed and equipped to provide an adequate level of safety and security for the residents. The site, furthermore, will be adequately served with public services, including utilities. The site planning, the use of exterior lighting and landscaping materials will allow for security and easy surveillance of the development. The application of current construction practices will prevent disturbances from significant levels of noise emanating from within the completed homes. Sufficient off-street parking will be provided to prevent any significant impact on the proposed on-street parking within the existing neighborhood. 3. That the proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code; including any specific condition required for the proposed use, in the district, in which it would be located. The RM-1800(PD) designation allows for a Planned Development (PD) application. In exchange for two-multi-family buildings and reduced rear yards that will actually be located in the interior side yard setbacks along the western and eastern edges of the site plan, higher quality housing and on-site improvements (landscaping, enhanced paving) are being imposed as conditions of approval. 4. That the proposed use will not create adverse impacts on traffic or create demands exceeding the capacity of public services and facilities, which cannot be mitigated. The surrounding streets have adequate capacity to accommodate the traffic generated by this development. With its close proximity to public (bus) transportation, traffic generation may be less than developments in San Leandro that are not conveniently located close to public transportation. There are adequate public facilities in the area to serve this development. There is adequate public service to the proposed subdivision, including but not limited to: the gas and electric company, the water district, City sanitary district, solid waste disposal and recyclable materials collection services, cable television, and police and fire departments.
