A-99-4/PD-99-4 - 2 - November 9, 1999 ■ By motion approve the Planned Development to develop the property with 5 ownership - housing units, subject to the attached findings and conditions of approval. ■ By resolution approve Vesting Tentative Map 7154, with the attached findings and conditions of approval. BACKGROUND This property consists of two parcels measuring 100 by 134.5 feet with an area of 13,450 square feet. Across the frontage of the property is a 7.5 by 100-foot strip of land that was formerly dedicated to the City for street widening purposes. The City no longer proposes widening Estudillo Avenue in this location so the area has been incorporated into the project. The land will be abandoned by the City and will increase the total area of the site to 14,175 square feet. DETAILS OF PROPOSAL Surrounding Properties This area is a mixture of multi -family residential and professional zoning. Uses in the area consist of older single-family homes, professional offices, a rest home, a mortuary and the San Leandro Main Library. PD-99-4 Planned Development The proposal is to construct 5 two-story townhouse units on this site. Three of the units will face Estudillo Avenue with three separate driveways on the street frontage providing access to the three attached garages. Two of the units will be constructed at the rear of the front units with access provided by a driveway along the east side of the property. All of the units are two-story with the master suite and a bathroom on the first floor and two bedrooms, bath, kitchen, living and dining areas on the second floor. The units have a living area of 1310 square feet and the garage is 509 square feet. There is a private back yard for each of the units varying in depth from 21 to 15 feet and from 25 to 32 feet in width. The front setback for the units fronting on Estudillo Avenue is 18.5 feet back of the sidewalk for the two end units and 22.5 feet for the middle unit. For the two rear units the front yard depth is 40 feet to provide access to the garages. Each of the units has an attached two -car garage. In addition to parking, there is ample space in the garages for storage of refuse cans and recycling bins and additional storage space for the benefit of the homeowner. The depth of the driveway is ample to permit parking of two vehicles in front of the garage door without obstructing the sidewalk. The two rear units have approximately 35 feet of paving in front of the garage door to facilitate access in and out of the garage. The buildings are as close as five feet to the west side and rear property lines and 20 feet from the east property line. Because these are two story buildings, they only extend along a portion of the property lines and the impact is minimal. 158
