Staff retained Dixon <br />Resources Unlimited to help complete the work of the DPMP, which included a strategy to aid <br />future land-use, economic development decisions, and increase the sustainability of Downtown <br />San Leandro. In 2019, staff extended services with Dixon Resources, further engaging on-call <br />services in support of the DPMP that continue today. <br />In 2021, the City Council directed staff to seek out expertise to assist in evaluating parking <br />impacts of higher density residential and commercial development on surrounding on-street <br />parking. According to the 2035 General Plan, San Leandro’s population is expected to continue <br />growing in size through new residential development that is projected to meet the high demand <br />for housing (particularly affordable housing). As a result, the potential loss of on-street parking due <br />to growth is expected to be an issue of ongoing public concern. <br />During the course of the implementation and ongoing maintenance of the DPMP, the expertise <br />and experience of Dixon Resources Unlimited has proven crucial to the ongoing success of the <br />program, and Dixon has gained a thorough understanding of San Leandro’s parking needs. <br />Furthermore, Dixon possesses the knowledge and skill to comprehensively and effectively advise <br />the City on the level to which a proposed development will affect nearby neighborhood parking, <br />which can provide valuable insights for all project stakeholders. <br />In April 2022, the City released a Request for Proposals for Parking Enforcement Services, <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/5/2023
