Response to Project Findings Planned Development 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposed location of the single family residential Planned Development, with the approval of the rezoning from RS (Residential – Single Family) and IP (Industrial Park) to RS(PD) Residential Planned Development Overlay District, is consistent with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the RS zoning district since the infill project is located within a residential-use neighborhood. The surrounding area consists of single-family residential properties. A small portion of the site is also adjacent to industrial uses. The project would be consistent with the surrounding single-family land uses. The Planned Development provides high quality urban design in comparison with development under the base district zoning regulations while preserving the character and quality of the surrounding neighborhood because the use and design of the Planned Development is similar to and consistent with the type and character of land uses found among the surrounding areas. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained, will be consistent with the General Plan; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City. The project would bring a Low-Medium Density Residential land use designation to the entire property, eliminating the split land use designation that exists today. This land use designation allows for a range residential use. The project has been appropriately designed and will fully comply with all fire, safety, and building codes. Further, the project’s site planning, use of exterior lighting, and landscaping materials will allow for security of the neighborhood. The project will utilize green building construction methods by providing amenities such as EV-ready charging wiring and solar panels. Also, the infill site will be adequately served by existing utility infrastructure. General Plan action, goals, and policies are relevant to this residential project (note: LU-Land Use; ED-Economic Development): GOAL LU-2. Preserve and enhance the distinct identities of San Leandro neighborhoods.
