City of San Leandro <br />A-8 <br />aApplicants shall illustrate the proposal’s height by providing no less than two <br />sectional views, drawn through the proposed structure and perpendicular to <br />existing contours, one of which shall illustrate the tallest point of the structure (i.e., <br />where the structure would be at its maximum height above “existing grade”), and <br />the other being drawn at approximately the center of the structure. <br />2. Definition of “Existing Grade.” See 1.12.108 Definitions “Existing Grade” and illustration <br />“Examples of 18 Foot Height Limit” above. <br />3. Maximum of One Story. A maximum of one story is permitted in the RS-VP sub-district, <br />except that the improvement of a basement or space below an existing habitable story (i.e., <br />construction of a new habitable story within the building envelope of a pre-existing <br />structure) is exempt from this one-story limitation. <br />4. Exceptions. Exceptions may be granted to the 18 feet and/or one-story height limit <br />pursuant to Section 2.04.412 RS-VP Sub-District—Residential Site Plan Review and <br />Exceptions to Height Restrictions. up to a height not to exceed 30 feet, pursuant to Major <br />Site Plan Review. To approve an exception to the height limit of the RS-VP Sub-District, the <br />decision-making body shall make the following finding: <br />a. Mandatory Finding—The Views Currently Enjoyed by Neighbors Are Retained. The <br />proposed construction that is in excess of the height limit of the RS-VP Sub-District <br />does not unreasonably block or diminish neighbors’ views of distant and scenic <br />features, such as the San Francisco Bay and surrounding open spaces and <br />skylines, to any greater degree than would a proposal for construction that <br />conformed to the height limits of the RS-VP Sub-District. <br />5. Pre-Existing Structures. Notwithstanding the restrictions specified in Subsection B.3 of <br />Section 4.20.108 Alterations and Expansions on allowed improvements to nonconforming <br />structures, single-family residences in the RS-VP sub-district permitted prior to August 15, <br />2001, and are nonconforming only because they exceed the height limitation of this <br />subsection, may be improved by enlargements or alterations of any value. If damaged or <br />destroyed, such structures may be reconstructed as specified by Subsection B.1 of Section <br />4.20.116 Restoration of a Damaged Structure and Its Nonconforming Use <br /> <br />Section 2.04.328 Maximum Lot Coverage <br />DISTRICT COVERAGE (PERCENT) <br />RO 33-1/3 <br />RS 50 <br />RS-40 50 <br />RS-VP 50 <br />57
