City of San Leandro Development Services Department Planning Division FINDINGS OF FACT FOR APPROVAL OF PLN2000-00040, 41, 42, and 43 (8.78 acre area at the north end Preda Street; Assessor's Parcel Numbers 75-131-1-3, 2-4, 2-10, and 75-141-1-1) Trumark Companies, LLC (applicant); C. Julius, W.E. Jessup, Jr., P. Caloyeras, and The De Silva Group (property owners) Rezone 1. The proposed rezone must be in general agreement with the adopted General Plan of the City. The General Plan designates the vicinity as a "No Change" area (General Plan Map 19, Land Use Element). A "No Change" area will not remain entirely static and it is expected that there will be a range of proposals to replace, renew or modify existing development in these areas. The proposal to reclassify the property from IL Industrial Limited District to RS(PD) Residential Single -Family Planned Development Overlay District will phase out industrial sites which are adjacent to an existing low density residential neighborhood. This will be compatible with the other existing single-family uses in the vicinity. The rezone will encourage a beneficial change towards low -density residential development, which will protect the existing area from any more potential impacts from industrial uses such as noise and truck traffic, which has been found to erode the stability of residential uses. The rezone from IL to RS(PD) District will protect the immediate properties and occupants from any inappropriate use and potentially significant impacts by allowing residential development subject to discretionary review for any future projects or change of use of the land. 2. The uses permitted by the proposed zoning district must be compatible with existing and proposed uses in the general neighborhood. The uses permitted by the RS(PD) District are the same uses permitted in the RS District. The RS(PD) designation will allow for a Planned Development (PD) application for the Planning Commission and City Council to review. The previous rezone of adjacent properties from industrial to residential zoning districts has established the precedent that single-family residential uses would replace the older and abandoned industrial uses. 3. The property subject to the rezone will be served by streets, utilities and other public facilities of sufficient capacity to properly serve it without overloading and without detriment to other areas presently zoned in contemplation of full use and availability of such facilities. 9�
