File Number: 19-015 <br />Unit Plans - Mix of Units <br />The proposal has three different two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit floor plans with 980 square feet <br />of floor area comprising 43 units and one floor plan comprising 1,380 square feet for the 2 <br />proposed three-bedroom, three-bathroom units (Exhibit O). The three-bedroom units are situated <br />on the second and third floors at the southwest corner of the building. The total interior building <br />area comprises 59,790 square feet, which includes 44,900 square feet of leasable area. Every <br />unit is provided a private outdoor deck or balcony. <br />Density <br />The proposed 45 residential units on the 1.27 acre property equates to a density of 35 units per <br />acre, greater than the Professional Office (P) zoning district’s established density of 24 units per <br />acre (which limits a 1.27 acre parcel to 31 units). The General Plan land use designation for this <br />site, Downtown Mixed Use, allows residential densities ranging from 24 to 100 units per acre. If <br />the underlying zoning’s development standards are applied in accord with the General Plan, this <br />situation effectively limits any residential development on the subject property to no more and no <br />less than 24 units per acre. Under Section 3-1012 of the Zoning Code, the residential unit density <br />of a Planned Development project is not subject to the density provisions of the underlying zoning <br />district but must still comply with the General Plan. <br />Open Space <br />The project includes 12,462 square feet of open space (4,800 square feet for the ground floor <br />open space and 5,862 square feet collectively for all the private decks and balconies, and 1,800 <br />square feet for the roof deck). The minimum open space requirement per dwelling unit is 200 <br />square feet, which equates to a total of 9,000 square feet for the 45 units (Z.C. Section 2-558 A). <br />The proposed Planned Development exceeds the minimum open space requirements. The roof <br />deck and landscaped green roof planters are proposed by the applicant to enhance the <br />development. <br />Wireless Communication Facility and Flag Pole <br />The Planned Development project includes a proposed wireless communications facility <br />consisting of a monopole to be located on top of the building to a height of 60 feet. The wireless <br />4G/5G monopole would be placed on top of the elevator penthouse utility/storage room on the <br />southeastern portion of the building at the roof level (Exhibits H and I). The monopole contains <br />wireless antennas inside a simple cylindrical structure that serves to conceal the internal panels. <br />The exterior would be a fiberglass “radio frequency-transparent” material painted a neutral color <br />(i.e., off-white/light gray) to blend in with the design of the building and the surrounding open <br />airspace around it. <br />In addition, the applicant proposes to place a flag pole on top of the northwest corner of the <br />building, measuring 53.5 feet from grade at the top. The flag pole would extend 20 feet above the <br />base mounted roof elevation at 33.5 feet. The proposed monopole and flag pole conform to the <br />Zoning Code’s height requirements for these projections. <br />Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 1/30/2019
