City of San Leandro 311 MacArthur Boulevard Residential Project 8 would provide a 5-inch per hour minimum percolation rate. The bio-retention areas are designed with a greater treatment and storage capacity than that required of the proposed total impervious surface areas on site. Landscaping and Trees The project site has 19 trees on site and 12 street trees around the site. As shown on Figure 3, the project would involve the removal of 20 existing trees and protection in place of 11 trees (10 of which are street trees). Where possible, existing street trees along MacArthur Boulevard and Herma Court would be avoided or replaced per City standards, if removal were to be necessary (San Leandro Zoning Code Section 4-1906). The project would involve new landscaping elements, including the planting of various shrubs, grasses, and new trees throughout the project site, particularly in and around the three bio-retention areas. Additional trees would be located along MacArthur Boulevard, surrounding the three-bio-retention areas, along project site boundaries not adjacent to streets, and adjacent to proposed buildings within the site. Appendix A provides the proposed planting plan (refer to Sheet L-6.1). Off-site Improvements The project includes sidewalk improvements and pavement replacement along road frontages that border the project site. The project also includes reconfiguration of street parking on MacArthur Boulevard along the project frontage, as shown in Figure 3. 9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting The project site is urbanized and generally flat, with one existing commercial structure in the central portion, a parking lot in the northern portion, and paved areas in the southern portion. On adjacent roadways, 12 street trees are owned by the City, and the site itself contains 19 landscape trees. Parcels along MacArthur Boulevard near the project site are zoned as CC and have a Corridor Mixed Use land use designation, similar to the project site. Parcels south of the project site are zoned RS and designated as Low Density Residential land use. Parcels west of the site are zoned Residential Duplex District (RD) and have a Low Density Residential land use designation. Surrounding buildings range in height from one to three stories. Areas to the south and west are developed with single-family residences. A vacant lot is adjacent to the southwestern corner of the project site, and commercial buildings are located to the northwest, north, and east. A bus stop served by AC Transit routes 34 and 35 is located along MacArthur Boulevard, adjacent to the site. 10. Other Public Agencies Whose Approval is Required The City of San Leandro is the lead agency with responsibility for approving the project. Approval from other public agencies is not required. The project would require the following discretionary approvals from the City of San Leandro:  Planned development for multi-family residential use of project site and rezone to CC (PD) and RS (PD)  Approval of the Tentative Parcel Map (parcel merger)  Site plan review
