City of San Leandro 2824 Halcyon Drive Residential Project 76 of this section may also be enforced by issuance of a stop work order and/or revocation of any or all permits issued for such construction activity. San Leandro Zoning Code The project site currently has split zoning. The western portion of the site is zoned Industrial Park (IP) and the eastern portion is zoned Residential Single-Family (RS). The project would involve rezoning of both IP and RS to RS(PD). SLZC Chapter 5.12 provides a process for Site Plan Review to assure that new development would comply with the applicable site development standards as part of the permitting process. SLZC Chapter 5.16 outlines the requirements necessary to amend the zoning map or zoning regulations involving the ZEO, Planning Commission, and City Council. SLZC Section 5.16.108 details all of the required application materials for amendments initiated by property owners to provide to the ZEO. This includes a completed application form, a completed Initial Study Form, and the required fee. Project-Specific Impacts a. Would the project physically divide an established community? The project would be built on a parcel that contains existing residences and two accessory structures surrounded by urban land uses. The project site is surrounded by single-family residences to the east and west, industrial development to the north, and Halcyon Drive and single-family residences to the south. The project would not involve construction of a physical feature (e.g., a highway or rail line) or removal of an existing means of access (e.g., a road or bridge linking different portions of a community) that would cause a physical division of an established community. No impact would occur. b. Would the project cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? The project site has a General Plan designation of low-medium density residential. The western portion of the project site is zoned IP and the eastern portion of the project site is zoned RS. The site is bounded by parcels zoned IG(AU) to the north, RS(PD) to the west, and RS to the south and east. Consistent with the discussion in the General Plan EIR for the City, the project would not introduce new land uses that do not already exist in the project vicinity. The proposed project would be compatible with the surrounding land uses, particularly the existing single-family residences to the west, south, and east. The applicant’s request to change the western portion of the project’s zoning from IP to RS(PD) and the eastern portion of the project’s zoning from RS to RS(PD) would ensure that the project’s use would be consistent with the project site’s General Plan designation and the general land use pattern in the vicinity. The process to amend the project site zoning is detailed under SLZC Section 5.16.108 and would be initiated by the project site property owner in correspondence with the ZEO and under SLZC Chapter 5.16, Amendments, broadly as it pertains to the duties of the Planning Commission and City Council to make specific findings to determine if the proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the policies of the General Plan.
