Dredging and the storage of dredged <br />material has been discontinued due to insufficient funds. <br />The General Plan Land Use Map of the City of San Leandro designates the DMMS as Resource <br />Conservation land. The Resource Conservation land use designation “denotes land which is to <br />remain undeveloped due to high environmental sensitivity, or land to be used primarily for passive <br />recreation (such as walking trails). It also includes land within and immediately along the banks of <br />San Leandro Creek. Development is generally not permitted in Resource Conservation areas so <br />there is no building intensity standard; the land is to be managed to enhance and restore its <br />natural features.” On May 6, 2021 the Planning Commission found that use of the DMMS for <br />storm water purposes is consistent with the General Plan. <br />Analysis <br />Storage of storm water in the DMMS is anticipated to be an infrequent event, corresponding to a <br />100-year storm and a storm related high tide event.
