City of San Leandro <br />14 <br />Administrative Provisions <br />Draft amendments related to administrative provisions are intended to consolidate and <br />standardize review processes. The ‘administrative procedure’ section of each district will <br />identify the applicability of various administrative provisions specific to that district. The <br />procedures for the various administrative provisions will not change by district and will be <br />consolidated into one place (Title 5). <br />Currently, the Site Plan Review procedure for projects in nonresidential and mixed-use districts <br />is standardized. However, in the residential districts, there are two types of Site Plan Review, <br />major and minor, whose procedures vary depending on specific project characteristics. <br />The draft amendments propose to standardize Site Plan Review procedures by establishing <br />three levels of Site Plan Review as follows: <br />SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS - PROPOSED <br />Type Review Body Notice Hearing Current Process Correspondence <br />Administrative <br />Site Plan Review <br />ZEO, BZA upon <br />appeal or elevation <br />None required No Site Plan Review <br />Minor <br />Site Plan Review <br />ZEO, BZA upon <br />appeal or elevation <br />Adjacent properties No Residential Site Plan Review, <br />Minor <br />Major <br />Site Plan Review <br />ZEO, BZA upon <br />appeal or elevation <br />Within RS-VSP: 500’ <br />Other areas: Adjacent <br />Properties <br />Yes Residential Site Plan Review, <br />Major <br /> <br />The amendments also clarify that the Site Plan Review process will run concurrently with any <br />other discretionary permits according to the permit with the highest level of review authority. <br />The proposed Site Plan Review procedure amendments would shift the review authority for <br />new homes larger than 4,000 square feet and new homes or additions that exceed the single <br />story/18 foot height limit in the RS-VP District would be to the ZEO rather than the BZA. <br />However, the ZEO’s decisions would be appealable to the BZA or the project could be elevated <br />to the BZA for approval where the ZEO determines the public interest would be better served <br />by having the BZA conduct Site Plan Review. <br />Misc. Other amendments include removing ‘Parking Exception’ as a specific approval type and <br />processing requests via Major Site Plan Review at a noticed public hearing by the ZEO rather <br />than the BZA. The amendments also include deleting references to the obsolete Site <br />Development Subcommittee. <br /> <br /> <br />46
