NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Leandro does ordain as follows: SECTION 1. RECITALS. The above recitals are true and correct and made a part of this ordinance. SECTION 2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. Pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020 -XXX, incorporated herein by reference, adopting an Addendum to the San Leandro Shoreline Development Project EIR (SCH # 2013072011). The environmental effects associated with the Zoning Map Amendment were analyzed in accordance with the requirements of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines. The Zoning Map Amendment implements the Project and was analyzed in the Addendum as part of the Project. No subsequent environmental impact report or additional environmental analysis is required in connection with the approval of the Zoning Map Amendment or this Ordinance, in that the City Council finds and determines that none of the conditions set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21166, State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) have occurred. SECTION 3. FINDINGS. The City Council makes the following findings in support of adopting this ordinance: 1. That the proposed Zoning Map Amendments for the Shoreline Area will ensure consistency with the 2035 General Plan, as amended, and are desirable to achieve the purposes of the Zoning Code as outlined in Zoning Code Section 1-104, which include but are not limited to: a. Guiding development in accord with the policies of the General Plan to preserve the character and quality of residential neighborhoods and commercial and industrial areas; foster convenient, harmonious, and workable relationships among land uses; and achieve the land development described in the General Plan. b. Conserving key visual features of San Leandro's bay front setting; and c. Providing for the elimination, over time, of land uses and structures that are inconsistent with the policies of the General Plan and adversely affect other property or uses. 2. That the Planned Development Concept Plan submitted in support of the proposed Zoning Map Amendment to modify a Planned Development Overlay Zone is consistent with the General Plan, as amended, and compatible with surrounding development. The Planned Development Concept Plan is consistent with General Plan policies for the San Leandro Shoreline that call for development that will: a. Reinforce the Shoreline as a regional destination (General Plan Goal LU - 9); b. Provide for complementary activities that boost its appeal as a destination (General Plan Policy LU -9.1); c. Provide for complementary uses that benefit San Leandro residents and current shoreline users, such as improved park space, restaurants, ORDINANCE NO. 2020-001 5
