City of San Leandro 311 MacArthur Boulevard Residential Project 14 Residential. These designations are intended for commercial and residential developments oriented along major transit-served roadways in the city. Consistent with General Plan Land Use Policies 1.1, 2.1, 2.7, 2.12, and 3.2, the project would support augmenting the city’s housing inventory, provide housing choices with access to commercial areas, concentrate multi-family development along existing transit corridors, minimize parking overflow with more off-street parking, and provide a mix of price ranges for proposed housing. While the project would not meet the density restrictions of the Low Density Residential land use designation (8.7 units per acre), there are no housing units proposed on the portion of the parcel in the Low Density Residential designated area. As shown on Figure 3, this part of the site would contain a bioretention area and a covered patio for community uses, which would not introduce a land use conflict with the adjacent single-family residences along Herma Court. North Area Specific Plan The NASP, adopted in 1991, establishes a long-range vision to revitalize the north area of the city, specifically along East 14th Street, Bancroft Avenue, MacArthur Boulevard, and San Leandro Boulevard. The NASP establishes goals and policies to guide development in the community, and provides a vision for how revitalization will extend the north area, enhance the quality of the district, encourage change, and focus physical improvements to the area. The project would be developed in compliance with the NASP, which calls for a mixed residential and commercial service corridor along MacArthur Boulevard. The project would involve the construction of 20 multi-family for-sale townhomes, including two- and three-bedroom townhomes, along MacArthur Boulevard near transit services, as well as commercial development. The NASP also identifies the section of MacArthur Boulevard adjacent to the project site as land with the opportunity for high-quality housing development. Therefore, the project would be consistent with the NASP because it proposes residential development along MacArthur Boulevard. City of San Leandro Zoning Code The project would comply with provisions of the City of San Leandro Zoning Code, and is subject to the approval of applicable permits, described under Project Approvals. The project would meet standards for lot area, floor area ratio, setbacks, and building height consistent with CC zoning; satisfies applicable requirements under Municipal Code, Part III, Article 10, Planned Development Overlay District and Planned Development Project Approval; and complies with other applicable sections of the San Leandro Municipal Code. Table 2 shows the project’s consistency with CC and RS development standards listed in Section 2-6 of the San Leandro Zoning Code as revised by Ordinance 2018-021. The portion of the site that is within the RS District would be developed with two units (Building D) but would not meet the RS District height limitations per Section 2-537 of the City of San Leandro Zoning Code. The project would be consistent with the City of San Leandro Zoning Code upon approval by the City of rezoning the site to CC (PD) and RS (PD).
