Annexation - Hesperian Blvd , 16 Acres, Ord 70-46, 12-16-1970

Home

desiring such annexation are as follows: The City of San Leandro and the County of Alameda are engaged jointly in a project of widening Hesperian Boulevard within the area of this proposed annexation. In conjunction with said widening, public acquisition of many properties has been necessary with such acquisition followed by demolition of structures and use of approximately one. -half of each property acquired for street widening purposes. The excess property consists of a long strip of land only 56 feet in depth adjacent to an established single family neighborhood in the rear and facing a six -lane highway in front. The County of Alameda has no planned development provisions to govern development of property of this nature. Proper development of this area requires uniform design and development control available under the planned development processes of the San Leandro Zoning Ordinance. It is proposed by both the County of Alameda and the City of San Leandro that said property be sold to private developers under planned development controls. Two small triangular sections are included within the area proposed for annexation and presently remain under private ownership. Annexation of the publicly owned lands without inclusion of these two triangular areas would create islands of unincorporated territory with no appropriate connection to other unincorporated territory and a requirement of the use of City streets for County services. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Leandro does RESOLVE as follows: That notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of San Leandro on its own motion proposes to annex to the City of San Leandro the property hereinafter described, which property is hereby designated as 'Hesperian Boulevard Properties between the Castro Valley Freeway and the Western Pacific Railroad, Unit No. 90'; - 2 -
