2500 Davis Street 4 PLN2002-00031 November 4, 2002 The newly adopted General Plan indicates a land use designation of GI General Industrial for the project site. Page 38 of the Plan stipulates the following for the General Industrial designation: "General industrial areas are characterized by a wide range of manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, vehicle storage, and distribution uses. Such uses may be subject to performance standards to avoid adverse off -site effects.... Floor area ratios may be as high as 1.0 on smaller parcels, but are generally in the range of 0.4 to 0.6. " As proposed, the project would be in conformance with the GI designation, providing an industrial business park (with proposed limitations on future uses) with an overall floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.4 (0.5 if right-of-way and wetlands areas are discounted). In addition, the project would conform to the following General Plan policies and actions: Policy 2.11 — Ensure that all new development is designed for adequate access by emergency vehicles. Conformance: Project will require review and approval by the Alameda County Fire Department. Policy 7.03 — Promote environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices by San Leandro businesses and focus business attraction efforts on clean, environmentally - friendly businesses. Conformance: The project is being promoted as an "eco-industrial" park and is being developed in coordination with the Waste Management Authority (WMA). Objectives stipulated by WMA for the Developer include providing a minimum amount of "green" buildings on the site (buildings that include the use of recycled and environmentally - friendly materials in their construction) and, also, to attract businesses that would be able to utilize the products of adjacent uses including the Davis Street Transfer Station and the City's Water Pollution Control Plan. Actions 7.09-B and C — Continue to allow general industrial uses along the west end of Davis Street (west of Doolittle Drive), but establish development standards and use regulations that improve the appearance of the area from adjacent streets. Encourage a long-term transition to higher value industrial uses in this area. Support the reuse of the Hohener property with an industrial or ofce/flex use that enhances the economic base of the City, creates quality jobs, minimizes impacts on nearby neighborhoods, and is compatible with the uses on adjacent properties. The feasibility of the site's proximity to the Davis Street Waste Transfer Station should be considered here.
