Horton (applicant), Douglas Storm, Douglas Storm Trust UDT (Property Owner) ______________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Title VII, of Chapter 1 of the San Leandro Municipal Code, please accept this City Planner’s Report on Vesting Tract Map 8592 at 2824 Halcyon Drive. BACKGROUND On May 2nd, 2022, the City Council approved the Poppy Lane Planned Development Project (PLN21-0005) to subdivide the single parcel into 18 lots and three parcels, and construct 18- single family residences with associated circulation and landscape installations on a 2.4-acre site located at 2824 Halcyon Drive in the Washington Square neighborhood. City Council’s approval included an Infill Environmental Checklist in accord with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 8592 to subdivide one parcel into 18 lots and three parcels for two private courts and one privately owned open space accessible to the public.

The proposed Planned Development would accommodate a reduced lot size as low as 3,028 square feet for an interior lot and a corner lot of 4,038 square feet. The Planned Development would also feature a reduced lot width of 40 feet for interior lots and 50 feet for corner lots, and a minimum front yard setback of 18 feet.
