property has a split zoning where the western portion of the site is zoned Industrial Park (IP) and the eastern portion is zoned Residential Single-Family (RS). The 2.4-acre property is currently developed with two existing single-family residential buildings and two associated accessory structures, a private road that provides access to the buildings onsite, and six-foot precast walls around portions of the site’s perimeter. The site is generally flat, with existing trees and ruderal grassland vegetation throughout the site. The project site is located in the middle of the block and is adjoined by existing single-family residences to the east and west. To the north is a portion of the San Leandro Business Park. The southern boundary of the project site borders Halcyon Drive, a major arterial thoroughfare, and additional single-family residences beyond. The subject property was previously under different ownership and unavailable at the time the adjacent residential subdivisions were developed. The adjacent connecting residential streets were previously designed and constructed to accommodate the future development of this property. PROJECT DETAILS The Planned Development project involves a Zoning Map Amendment, Site Plan Review, and Tentative Map to subdivide one parcel into 18 lots and three parcels for two private courts and one privately owned open space accessible to the public and construct 18 single-family residences. The proposed zoning map amendment would rezone the parcel from having a split zoning of IP Industrial Park/ RS Residential Single-Family to RS(PD) Residential Single-Family with a Planned Development Overlay District. The project involves the demolition of two existing residential dwellings and two accessory structures to enable the construction of 18 single-family residences with associated infrastructure, circulation and landscaping improvements. The project will create a new public street with an S- shaped curve that connects the existing Muscari Street to the northwest of the project and Elderberry Way to the southeast of the project. The project will also create two private courts that vehicles would drive into to access five single-family residences. The courts are located at the southwest and northeast of the project site. On the southeast corner of the project site would be a 4,877 square foot privately-owned open space area for residents’ and public’s passive use. The lots range in size from approximately 3,028 to 4,799 square feet and the homes range in size from approximately 1,678 to 2,065 square feet. The lot coverages range from 29 to 39% and the floor area ratios from 0.31 to 0.43. Of the 18 homes, two homes will be a ffordable to moderate- income households and one will be affordable to a low-income household. A total of three homes will be designated for affordable housing as per the City’s Inclusionary Housing requirements (Zoning Code Chapter 6.04). The density is proposed at 7.5 units per acre. All of the proposed buildings are two stories and have a height ranging from 24’-6” to 28’-8”. Building Design / Architecture The development proposes a contemporary architectural style with varying wall plane, roof lines, multiple colors, materials, and finishes. The building elevations propose different arrangements of similar and complementary colors and materials, including concrete slate tile roofing, concrete shake title roofing, corner and gable board and battens, stucco, and stone. The proposed residential structures follow two architectural styles, Farmhouse and Craftsman, which a variety of articulation, colors, materials, and design features that create visual interest. There are four color scheme packages proposed. The Farmhouse design includes a Shasta Blend roof, Low Gloss White gutters and downspouts, Accessible Beige stucco and garage door, Roman Column trims and Peppercorn front door.
