A-99-3/PD-99-3 - 3 - November 9, 1999 Landscaping will consist of 24-inch box trees, 15-gallon shrubs and a variety of groundcovers. Vines will be planted along the masonry wall to make lit less attractive for graffiti. A-99-3 Rezoning This property is presently zoned P Professional and residential development is not a permitted use. The property must be placed in a residential district that approximates the density of the development. The surrounding residential property is zoned RM-1800, RM-2000 and RM-3000 Multi -Residential. There is apartment and condominium development that is consistent with that zoning classification. Rezoning this site to a multi -family residential district that approximates the density of the project will be consistent with the existing residential zoning in the surrounding area. At a density of 1 unit per 2157 square feet of land area (20 units per acre), the proper zoning classification would be RM-2500 (PD) Residential Multi -Family Planned Development Overlay District. Vesting Tentative Map Tract 7133 This project will consist of 11 individual parcels each with a single townhouse unit. The size of the parcels will range from 1640 square feet to 25oo square feet. There will be no common area in the project. Since there is no common area, there will be no homeowners association. Each homeowner will be responsible for the maintenance of their property. The City Engineer's Report and recommended conditions of approval are attached to this report. School Impact The applicant has met with Robert Nehls, Jr., Deputy Superintendent of Schools. The addition of 11 units will have little or no impact on local schools. The developer has agreed to pay the maximum statutory fee of $1.93 per square foot plus statutorily permissible escalations. After the district's adoption of a new developer school fee in January of 2000, the developer will pay the school fee that is statutorily required. A letter regarding the school impact fee is attached. STAFF ANALYSIS The Planning Commission carefully reviewed and discussed the proposed development. The Commission felt the developer had created a product that was highly appropriate for the downtown and BART areas of San Leandro. The project will be compatible with existing housing and professional office development in the area. The project will provide new ownership housing in an older area that has not had any new housing for many years. The Planning Commission had the following comments and recommended revision to the Conditions of Approval after discussing the Plans: ■ The Commission suggested that the garages be equipped with electric garage openers in order to make garage entry safer and to avoid street congestion. ■ The Commission suggested stronger color distinctions, suggesting reds, browns and yellows as opposed to whites, beige and tans. 97
