2 <br /> 3 stories <br /> 45 units <br /> 47 parking spaces + 8 visitor spaces <br /> No car stackers <br />I live nearby the Middle School and am quite familiar with this area Bancroft is part of my daily commute. <br />This is too large of a structure for that property. Bancroft Ave. is already a popular, well-trafficked road, it is <br />fairly congested, especially with the middle school traffic. Adding an apartment complex would further <br />complicate the traffic and exacerbates the safety of pedestrians and drivers -- especially during the school year. <br /> <br />While I am unable to make either meeting, I do have questions and serious concerns: <br /> <br />Parking: By code, 102 parking spots are required but the plan details 47 parking spaces for residents & 8 for <br />guests/visitors. With not enough parking spaces for the would-be residents and guests, where will the overflow <br />go? 1388 is a corner spot with bus stops and major traffic light intersection so it is expected that overflow <br />would go to the residential neighborhoods. Those streets are already packed. How will the city manage this? <br />Zoned parking and issuing parking stickers like Oakland? Towing for un-zoned parkers? We'd like a detailed <br />plan. <br /> <br /># of units: When 31 are allowed by code, why propose 45 units? This will obviously require the building to be <br />above 50ft in height and that is not allowed by code. As a resident, I do not support building a structure that <br />goes beyond 50-ft in height. That area cannot support the traffic and it'd be an eyesore to the neighborhood <br />while obstructing views for the other residential property owners whose structures are primarily single or dual <br />story homes that are about 15' tall. It would lower the home values in Creekside. <br /> <br />I do not love this proposed zone change nor the proposal for a new apartment complex to be built on 1388 <br />Bancroft. <br /> <br />While I am unable to attend due to the short notice of these hearings/public meetings (especially in light of <br />holiday season), please consider denying this builder's proposal and the Planning Commission's proposed <br />amendment. <br /> <br />Being forced to live with a complex we didn't want forces us to consider moving outside of San Leandro. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Yvonne Gee <br /> <br />
