ALAMEDA COUNTY ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 77C-1240-5 (PLN21-0005) WHEREAS, Chris Zaballos of D.R. Horton ("Applicant") submitted an application for a Zoning Map Amendment, Planned Development, Site Plan Review, and Tentative Map to demolish four existing residential and accessory structures, rezone site from Industrial Park (IP) and Residential Single -Family (RS) to Residential Single -Family with a Planned Development Overlay (RS(PD)) zoning district, subdivide the single parcel into 18 lots and three parcels, and construct 18-single family residences with associated circulation and landscape installations on a 2.4-acre site at 2824 Halcyon Drive (PLN21-0005) ("Project"); and WHEREAS, in accord with the California Environmental Quality Act, an Infill Checklist was prepared; and WHEREAS, in accord with the San Leandro Municipal Code Chapter 7-1, the applicant is concurrently requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map 8592 to subdivide the parcel into 18 lots for 18 single-family residences and three parcels for two private courts and one privately owned and maintained open space parcel accessible to the public; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 15183.3 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the City prepared an Infill Environmental Checklist, dated March 2022 by Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) on behalf of the City. The Infill Checklist finds that the proposed project qualifies as an Infill Project that would result in new specific effects. However, these effects would be substantially mitigated under uniformly applicable development policies and thus, no further environmental review is required; and WHEREAS, the Property has a General Plan land use designation of RLM Low -Medium Density Residential and has a split zoning where the western portion of the site is zoned Industrial Park (IP) and the eastern portion is zoned Residential Single -Family (RS); and WHEREAS, the Applicant proposes a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the Project site from IP Industrial Park/ RS Residential Single -Family to RS(PD) Residential Single -Family with a Planned Development Overlay District as identified in "Exhibit A"; and WHEREAS, a Planned Development establishes a procedure for the development of larger parcels of land in order to reduce or eliminate the rigidity, delays, and inequities that otherwise would result from application of zoning standards and procedures designed primarily for small parcels; and
