SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN L A N D U S E 3-130 ANDRO SHORELI Located at the west end of Marina Boulevard along San Francisco Bay, the San Leandro Shoreline is the city's largest recreation area. It currently contains a mix of active recreational and commercial uses, including a hotel, two large restaurants, a 27 -hole golf course, a 462 -berth marina, two yacht clubs, and a boat launch. The marina was constructed in the early 1960s with fill dredged from San Francisco Bay. The boat basin is connected to the navigable waters of San Francisco Bay by a two-mile channel, which is prone to siltation. Due to the high cost of dredging and the loss of federal funds, the City no longer maintains the channel, and the marina is becoming less viable for most motorized boats. Goal LU -9 presents goals, policies, and actions for the Shoreline. The City has identified a core area of approximately 75 acres at the heart of the 900 - acre shoreline recreation area for commercial and residential development. While the area's role as a water -oriented hotel and restaurant district has been a part of City plans for five decades, the full potential of the site has yet to be realized. The City has long aspired for a more robust mix of activities that capitalize on the waterfront location, panoramic views, golf course, and park, as well as the proximity to Oakland Airport just a few miles to the north. In 2008, a developer was selected to work with the City on plans for the site. A Shoreline Citizen Advisory Committee was created, and met for three years to provide input. One of the foundational principles was that development should be self-sustaining and not depend on municipal subsidies to operate. Revenue from the development should help support amenities and services that benefit the entire San Leandro community. Another principle is that the development should be compatible with nearby residential and industrial uses, and improve connections between nearby neighborhoods and the shoreline.
