File Number: 19-560 <br />requirement listed in the Zoning Code: <br />·Side/Rear Setback: The project proposes irregular side yard setbacks due to the <br />orientation of the townhome buildings, where the side yard is designed to function as <br />private rear yards for the four units in Building A. <br />Tentative Map <br />The applicant has submitted proposed Tentative Tract Map 8542 for condominium purposes. The <br />subject property consists of a single parcel which would be subdivided into six condominium <br />units. Land division into five or more units requires a Tentative Map (Community Development <br />Department) and a Final Map (Engineering Department). The purpose of a tentative map is to <br />show what currently exists and what is proposed on and adjacent to the property to be <br />subdivided. <br />A standard recommended condition of approval requires the City and City Attorneys to review the <br />developer’s Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R’s) prior to approval of the Final <br />Map. Another standard recommended condition contains language specifying the future property <br />owners’ responsibilities as a homeowner’s association in maintaining the paved driveway and <br />guest parking areas, landscaped and common areas, use of the outdoor amenities, and property <br />owner responsibility to keep their rear yards clutter-free and prohibit outdoor storage. <br />Site Plan Review <br />Per Zoning Code §5-2502.A, Site Plan Review is required to accompany any development that <br />requires a Planned Development approval, to ensure the proposal’s comprehensiveness in <br />providing amenities and design that enhances the quality of residents’ lives and the appearance <br />of the project. <br />The project meets the amenities and design criteria per Zoning Code §2-698 by providing <br />common areas, tenant activity areas with outdoor furniture, use of concrete pavers in the rear <br />common area, use of at least three colors and materials, and façade modulation. <br />The two new buildings would comply with the development standards of the RM-3000 base <br />zoning district, including a minimum 20-foot front setback, 10-foot and 28-foot side setbacks, and <br />a large rear yard that exceeds minimum open space requirements. Proposed fencing meets the <br />zoning requirement, with a three-foot tall white wooden picket fence within the 20-foot front yard <br />setback along Lewelling Boulevard, rising to a 6-foot tall wooden fence along the side and rear <br />property lines and between each units’ private yard outside of the front setback. Swinging gates <br />are incorporated as part of the fencing between private yards in Building A for emergency <br />access. <br />Sufficient off-street parking will be provided in accordance with zoning regulations (Zoning Code <br />§4-1704) and resident vehicles are conditioned to be parked in designated garages on-site, <br />which are not to be converted to any other use that would obstruct or prevent its use for vehicle <br />parking. <br />Page 5 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/30/2019 <br />14
