Introduction Draft Housing Element 1-11 Environmental 1.7 Relationship to Other General Plan Elements 2035 General Plan The City of San Leandro embarked on an extensive public planning process beginning in early 2014 to update its General Plan (2035 General Plan), which was adopted in 2016. The 2035 General Plan envisions San Leandro to be a vibrant city for people to live, work, and enjoy. The 2035 General Plan determined that to realize this vision, San Leandro must address the challenges that come with growth, including the preservation and development of housing that meet the needs of current and future residents. The vision of the 2035 General Plan referenced the previous Housing Element, which sought to conserve San Leandro’s neighborhoods and industrial areas while focusing new development around the city’s two BART stations, in and around the Downtown area, and along major commercial corridors such as East 14th Street. Subsequent City plans, such as the 2018 Bay Fair Transit Oriented Development (B-TOD) Specific Plan, were developed in accordance with residents’ desire for walkable, transit-oriented communities for better quality of life and environmental sustainability. The City of San Leandro’s 2035 General Plan is comprised of the following elements:  Land Use  Transportation  Economic Development  Open Space, Conservation, and Parks  Environmental Hazards  Historic Preservation and Community Design  Community Services and Facilities  Housing  Implementation California Government Code Section 65583(c) requires the Housing Element to maintain internal consistency with other General Plan Elements. The Housing Element builds upon policies set forth in the other General Plan elements. The Land Use and Historic Preservation and Community Design Elements establish policies regarding the amount, intensity, and distribution of residential uses. Environmental constraints identified in the Environmental Hazards Element, such as areas of the City in which potential residential development could be impacted by flood zones, are recognized in the Housing Element as limitations for additional housing. The Housing Element is also consistent with the (draft) Environmental Justice Element by avoiding concentration of lower-income housing in a disadvantaged community as defined by Government Earthquakes, Landslides, and Wildfire Sea Level Rise Environmental Hazards Infrastructure Constraints
