Each of the residential structures would have its own driveway connected directly to a new public street that connects Elderberry Way to Muscari Street or to the new southwestern court or new northeastern court that both connect to the public street connecting Elderberry Way to Muscari Street. Waste, recycling, and compost bins will be stored and screened behind the fence gate at the side yard of each residence. Parking and Circulation Vehicular access to the site would be provided via a connection to the two adjacent existing public streets, Muscari Street to the northwest and Elderberry Way to the southeast of the site. Connecting the two existing streets will eliminate the dead-ends at Muscari Street and Elderberry Way, necessary for code-compliant fire access per the Alameda County Fire Department (letter attached).

The project would include a total of 82 parking spaces on site. Of the 82 spaces on site, there would be 36 garage spaces, 36 driveway spaces, and 10 public on-street parking spaces. Pedestrian access would be available via sidewalks that would be constructed along both sides of the one new public street connecting Muscari Street and Elderberry Way. Landscaping The project would include a total landscaped area of 19,600 square feet, or approximately 19 percent of the site. Landscaping would include front yards, planter strips, and the shared passive use open space area located at the southeastern corner of the project site. This shared open space area would also act as a drainage management area and contain underground storage boxes which would be part of the larger drainage management and bioretention system occurring on the project site. The landscaped and bioretention areas located throughout the project site. Approximately 0.78 acre of the site is comprised of mixed ornamental woodland trees that would be removed as part of the project (ficus, redwood, Mexican fam palm, Himalayan cedar, acacia, lemon, southern magnolia, pine, tree of heaven, loquat, and willow). There are 18 new street trees (London plane trees) proposed along the new public street as well as a variety of accent trees along the perimeters of the southwestern and northeastern courts connecting to the new public street that would connect Muscari Street and Elderberry Way, and in the front yards of proposed residences. On-Site Amenities On the southeast corner of the project site would be a 4,877 square foot private landscaped open space area for residents’ use. On the northern end of this open space area would be a communal mailbox station for the project’s occupants. The public street connecting Muscari Street and Elderberry Way provides 10 on-street parking spaces. Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/27/2022
