File Number: 19-378 <br />spaces will be provided. Parking for the commercial space will be accommodated in the <br />immediate vicinity as outlined in the Applicant’s requested Parking Exception . <br />The Alameda County Fire Department and the City of San Leandro Engineering staff reviewed <br />the proposed parking configuration and found it acceptable for emergency vehicle requirements <br />and regular traffic access and transit requirements. <br />With the incorporation of the recommended Conditions of Approval and adherence to the San <br />Leandro Municipal Code and the California Subdivision Map Act, staff and the Planning <br />Commission recommend City Council approval of the tentative tract map based on the attached <br />Findings of Fact. <br />GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE <br />The General Plan designates this site within the Downtown Mixed-Use area, which permits “retail <br />shops, services, offices, cultural activities, public and civic buildings, and similar and compatible <br />uses, including upper story residential uses.” Mixed-use development with housing is encouraged <br />in this area, with allowable residential densities ranging from 24 to 100 units per net acre, <br />depending on the zoning district. At 61.61 du/ac, the proposed development at 268 Parrott St. is <br />within the allowable density range. <br />The following General Plan policies are applicable to the proposed project: <br />Policy LU-2.1: Complete Neighborhoods. Strive for “complete neighborhoods” that <br />provide an array of housing choices; easy access to retail stores, commercial services, and <br />medical care; quality public schools; great parks and open spaces; affordable transportation <br />options; and civic amenities. <br />Policy LU-2.7: Location of Multi-Family Development. Concentrate new multi-family <br />development in the areas near the BART Stations and along major transit corridors such as <br />East 14th Street. Ensure that such development enhances rather than detracts from the <br />character of surrounding neighborhoods. <br />Policy LU-2.8: Alterations, Additions, and Infill. Ensure that alterations, additions and infill <br />development are compatible with existing homes and maintain aesthetically pleasing <br />neighborhoods. <br />Policy LU-2.17: Constrained Sites. Focus new housing development on underutilized or <br />infill sites on the city’s flatter lands, rather than on previously undeveloped sites in the hills. <br />Development on sites with significant geologic, hydrologic, or land stability constraints should <br />be strongly discouraged. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This item (PLN18-0045) is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act <br />(CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines, Article 19, Section 15332 Class 32 In-Fill Development Projects <br />(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e). <br />Page 5 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/9/2019 <br />33
