Other uses that are compatible with these industrial and retail establishments. 2. All new development must have an attractive architectural design and landscaping or be sufficiently screened to be complimentary to this gateway to San Leandro and to the Marina. Description of Regional RetaillAuto Mall Area: The Regional Retail/Auto Mall area is identified as Marina Boulevard and portions of surrounding streets between Interstate 880 and Washington Avenue. The Regional Retail/Auto Mall area can be characterized as an area in transition. The very successful Marina Square Shopping Center was established in the late 1980's with the primary building, including such anchors as Marshalls, Nordstrom Rack, Eddie Bauers, and the Gap (now known as the Old Navy Clothing Company). In the early 1990's, satellite tenants along the Marina Boulevard frontage were developed, including Kinkos, Ann Taylor Loft, Talbots, and Mikasa. Just to the north of Marina Square, industrial and auto repair related uses are beginning to transition to new auto sales uses. Lloyd Wise has applied for building permits to construct a Honda, Nissan, Oldsmobile, and Kia dealership. As part of this auto sales development, the City of San Leandro is cooperating with Lloyd Wise for the design and installation of median landscaping on portions of Marina Boulevard between Interstate 880 and Washington Avenue. The City has previously spent approximately $7 million on Marina Boulevard for right-of-way and landscaping improvements in the late 1980's and early 1990's through use of Measure B funds. The remaining areas along Marina Boulevard, developed with a variety of commercial and industrial uses, represent obvious locations for a transition to these new regional retail and auto sales uses.
