•Establishment of the COVID-19 Relief Temporary Outdoor Facilities Program, <br />which was a streamlined, no-cost outdoor facilities process for restaurants and food <br />providers, retailers and other outdoor activities permitted by Alameda County Public <br />Health to operate. <br />Housing – The 85-unit senior affordable rental housing development, La Vereda, opened and was <br />fully leased. It is adjacent to Marea Alta, a 115-unit affordable rental housing development which <br />opened in 2017. Together they represent the first major housing development completed under the <br />2007 Downtown Transit-Oriented Development Strategy. The City invested nearly $11.0 million in <br />both projects. Over 700 residential units are in the building permit review process, and an additional <br />45 units of ownership housing received planning/zoning approvals. <br />Commercial/industrial Development – The second of three planned new Class A office buildings <br />was completed in the San Leandro Tech campus. Over 1.5 million square feet of industrial buildings <br />were completed at 100 Halcyon Street and 2000 Marina Blvd. The latter will become the 330,000 <br />square foot global headquarters for Torani, the 95-year-old flavor company best known for <br />introducing the Italian soda to America and creating the world’s first flavored latte, which is moving <br />from South San Francisco. <br />Shoreline Development – The Shoreline Development Project took an important step forward <br />with the approval of a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with the private <br />developer Cal Coast Companies LLC Inc. to facilitate the future development of the Shoreline <br />area. The Shoreline Development Project envisions the revitalization of 75 acres of public area <br />to create 18 acres of public recreational areas, including a 9-acre park, a new Mulford/Marina <br />Library, up to 500 new homes, a new hotel, restaurants, banquet facility, and market/café space. <br />Street Rehabilitation and Sealing – The City accepted as complete $12.2 million worth of <br />street maintenance and reconstruction work that occurred throughout the City. This work <br />improved the safety and longevity of City streets by overlaying and reconstructing 2.7 lane miles <br />and sealing 34.4 lane miles. Curb ramps, rectangular rapid flashing beacon crosswalks and other <br />complete street features were included in the construction to make San Leandro a better place for <br />all users of the roadway. <br />Farrelly Pool Replacement Project – The City awarded a $6.2 million construction contract to <br />build a new swimming pool facility to replace the aged existing complex. The work consists of <br />constructing a 75’ by 62’ lap swimming pool with swim lesson area, ADA compliant public <br />changing rooms, restrooms, staff area, first aid station and an equipment building. When <br />completed this facility will provide many years of enjoyment and swim training to San <br />Leandrans. <br />One Megawatt Solar Array at Water Pollution Control Plant – In May 2020, the City <br />successfully completed a new 1-megawatt solar photovoltaic project at the Water Pollution <br />Control Plant. The $3.9 million project was funded 50% by a grant from the California Energy <br />Commission. The project was anticipated to provide approximately 45% of the Plant’s energy <br />needs, and the first three months’ of data indicate that the project is exceeding this expectation. <br />ix98
