City of San Leandro Community Development Department Planning and Housing Services Division FINDINGS OF FACT FOR APPROVAL OF PLN2002-00031 - Rezone, Planned Development and Tentative Map Tract 7382 (21+ acre former Hohener Property; Assessor's Parcel Numbers 79A-515-2-8) McMahon Development Group LLC (Applicant and Property Owner) Rezone The proposed rezone must be in general agreement with the adopted General Plan of the City. The General Plan designates the subject property as a GI General Industry (2001General Plan Map). The General Plan indicates that these areas are characterized by a wide range of manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, vehicle storage, and distribution uses. The proposal to rezone from IG to IG (PD) will allow this underutilized industrial site to be redeveloped with a high quality business industrial park that is compatible with the adjacent industrial and public uses. The project would be in conformance with the GI designation and the following General Plan policies/actions: Policy 2.11; Policy 7.03; Actions 7.09-13 and - C; Action 13.03-13; Action 13.04-C; Policy 14.04; and Policy 26.01.The rezoning of the project site from IG District to IG (PD) District will subject any proposal on the property to the City's discretionary review process, which will ensure that the future tenants for the speculative buildings will be compatible with the existing area. 2. The uses permitted by the proposed zoning district must be compatible with existing and proposed uses in the general neighborhood. In approving the IG (PD) District for this site, staff has recommended deleting certain of the permitted and conditionally permitted uses in the underlying IG Zoning District in order to provide a high quality industrial business park setting and to reduce potential traffic impacts. Therefore, although this development will be more restrictive, the uses will be compatible with other nearby IG-zoned properties. The project is in general conformance with the underlying IG Zoning District development standards. The IG (PD) designation will allow the Planning Commission and City Council to review any subsequent changes to the property through a Planned Development (PD) application process.
