Development Opportunities Development Opportunities are defined in this context as specific sites within San Leandro that are available for reuse. In most cases, these sites are older industrial buildings that could be reused or redeveloped for either other industrial users or commercial activities. Barriers to redevelopment typically include a number of factors that could be resolved with technical and/or financial assistance from the City, paired with appropriate overall market demand. Action 2.7. Maintain a Development Opportunio} Sites Database As an extension of the C11-y*s development opportunity sites booklet, the Cite shoulc maintain a comprehensive database regarding development opportunity sites in San Leandro that can be used to assist potential developers/users identify possible locations. This database should include information similar to that contained in the development opportunities sites booklet but should also include more detailed information regarding the quantity, type and condition of existing improvements, and, possibly, information regarding known contaminants. Sites to be included in the database should be major properties within the City where redevelopment would be desirable. These sites could include vacant and/or underutilized buildings, vacant lots, and/or sites currently occupied by a use that is no longer consistent with the General Plan or other long-range visions for San Leandro's future. One change from the existing development opportunities sites booklet is that as a general rule, properties should only be included in the database when owners have expressed an interest and willingness in development in the near term. While Cir< staff may identify sites for potential inclusion in the database. this should be done only after owners have been contacted and their interest has been confirmed. The Cite might include sites that are not imminently developable, but should indicate in the database those that have various development constraints. Properr owners. real estate brokers active in San Leandro. and other local experts should be contacted as the database is bein; created to help formulate the list of opportunity sites and provide the necessary information about each location. This step of the process should include collecting feedback from developers and brokers regarding the type of information that would be most valuable to be included in the database. To facilitate collection of site information for the database. Cite staff should develop a standard property information sheet which can be submitted b\ interested properr owners and real estate brokers. City 45 25
