File Number: 19-538 <br />The 1,088-square-foot portion on the northern tip of the southwest corner of MacArthur Boulevard <br />and Broadmoor Boulevard was vacated by the City in May 2007 per City Council Resolution <br />2007-072. The former right-of-way has been incorporated as part of the proposed development. <br />PLN2006-00104 (2016-2017) <br />On April 12, 2007, the applicant received approval from City Council for a Planned Development <br />and Tentative Map at this location for 23 three-story townhome units within three buildings, a <br />private driveway, an internal park area, one- and two-car tandem attached garages, and six guest <br />parking spaces on the site. However, due to the recession, the developer did not act on the prior <br />planning entitlement and PLN2006-00104 had lapsed. The proposed project shares some <br />similarities to the prior lapsed approval, with certain enhancements necessary to conform to <br />current development standards and changed market conditions. <br />DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL <br />The project proposes demolishing the existing structure to construct four townhome condominium <br />buildings totaling 20 units. The units range in size from approximately 1,504 square feet to 2,017 <br />square feet in floor area. Three of the units will be set aside for affordable housing as per the <br />City’s Inclusionary Housing Requirements (ZC §6-3006). The total footprint of the buildings is <br />15,145 square feet (35.7% coverage) and the total floor area is 37,195 square feet (0.88 Floor <br />Area Ratio). <br />·Density. The 42,444-square-foot (0.97-acre) project has a density of 20 units per acre. <br />·Height. All of the buildings are three stories tall and have an average height of 34’-0”, with <br />an eave height of 28’-8”. The highest ridge of Buildings A and B fronting MacArthur <br />Boulevard is 37’-6”, the interior building to the south Building C is 37’-0”, and the Building <br />D duplex along Herma Court is 37’-0”. <br />·Building Design / Architecture. The development proposes a modern Craftsman <br />architectural style, with changes in plane, open and intersecting gable roofing, and covered <br />entry patios. The units vary between beige and gray primary colors, with alternating <br />shingle, brick veneer, and horizontal lap siding. A uniform gray shingle roof ties each <br />building together, with layers of cross gables adding variation across the roof line. Each <br />entry patio is fenced in by a three-foot tall brick-veneer cement-masonry patio wall with <br />decorative metal gates. <br />·Floor Plan. The development is comprised of 16 three-bedroom units (80%) and four <br />two-bedroom units (20%), with an average floor area of 1,860 square feet. Each unit will <br />have: an office and full or half bathroom on the ground floor; kitchen, living space, half bath, <br />and balcony deck on the second floor; and bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry on the third <br />floor. Each unit also has a semi-private eight-foot depth entry patio that ranges between 89 <br />square feet to 195 square feet depending on the width of the unit. In addition, every unit <br />also has a second story balcony deck that ranges between 61 square feet and 89 square <br />feet. Waste, recycling, and compost bins will be stored in the attached two-car, <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/16/2019 <br />15
