City of San Leandro <br />2023-2031 Housing Element Update <br /> <br />3-18 <br />developers noted that inflexible open space requirements pose a challenge to housing <br />development. 17Therefore, the current open space requirements of the RM districts are considered <br />a potential constraint. The City will monitor development standards and modify as needed to <br />eliminate or reduce potential constraints to residential development, particularly for development <br />that can accommodate lower-income households, as specified in Program 14 of Chapter 6, Housing <br />Plan. <br />Storage Space Requirements <br />Storage space is required for multi-family dwellings in RM districts and must be at least 250 cubic <br />feet in size and have minimum dimensions of four feet by eight feet. Inflexible storage space <br />requirements pose a challenge to housing development. Therefore, the current storage space <br />requirements of the RM districts are considered a potential constraint. <br />The City will monitor development standards and modify as needed to eliminate or reduce potential <br />constraints to residential development, particularly for development that can accommodate lower- <br />income households, as specified in Program 14 of Chapter 6, Housing Plan. <br />Commercial and Mixed Use District Residential Standards <br />In 2015, the City replaced former commercial designations with new designations that permit <br />residential uses as a part of mixed use projects with the intent to promote multi-family housing. San <br />Leandro has 17 commercial and mixed use zones which permit residential development. These <br />zones and respective development standards are shown in Table 3.4: <br /> Commercial Community <br /> Commercial Neighborhood <br /> Commercial Recreation <br /> Commercial Services <br /> Downtown Area 1 (DA-1) – Retail Mixed <br />Use <br /> Downtown Area 2 (DA-2) – Multi-Use Infill <br /> Downtown Area 3 (DA-3) – Transit <br />Oriented Development Transition – Mixed <br />Use <br /> Downtown Area 6 (DA-6) – Offices and <br />Mixed Use <br /> North Area 1 (NA-1) <br /> North Area 2 (NA-2) <br /> Professional Office <br /> South Area 1 (SA-1) <br /> South Area 2 (SA-2) <br /> South Area 3 (SA-3) <br /> B-TOD District <br />Most housing production during the 6th housing cycle and the next 20 years is anticipated within the <br />Downtown Mixed Use, Corridor Mixed Use, Transit-Oriented Mixed Use, and B-TOD land use <br />designations. Development types envisioned in the associated zoning districts (DA, NA, SA, and B- <br />TOD) include mid-rise construction as standalone multi-family residential or mixed use development <br />project, and some opportunities for townhouse style development. However, the Multi-Family <br />Development Standards project found that the development standards in the Zoning Code for most <br />commercial and mixed use districts would better promote high density housing if adjustments were <br />made. <br /> <br /> <br />17 Alameda County Collaborative, 2021.
