Landscaping The project would include a total landscaped area of 19,600 square feet, or approximately 19 percent of the site. Landscaping would include front yards, planter strips, and the shared passive use open space area located at the southeastern corner of the project site. This shared open space area would also act as a drainage management area and contain underground storage boxes which would be part of the larger drainage management and bioretention system occurring on the project site. The landscaped and bioretention areas located throughout the project site. Approximately 0.78 acre of the site is comprised of mixed ornamental woodland trees that would be removed as part of the project (ficus, redwood, Mexican fam palm, Himalayan cedar, acacia, lemon, southern magnolia, pine, tree of heaven, loquat, and willow). There are 18 new street trees (London plane trees) proposed along the new public street as well as a variety of accent trees along the perimeters of the southwestern and northeastern courts connecting to the new public street that would connect Muscari Street and Elderberry Way, and in the front yards of proposed residences. On-Site Amenities On the southeast corner of the project site would be a 4,877 square foot private landscaped open space area for residents’ use. On the northern end of this open space area would be a communal mailbox station for the project’s occupants. The public street connecting Muscari Street and Elderberry Way provides 10 on-street parking spaces. Vesting Map 8592 The City Council previously approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 8592 for subdividing the parcel into 18 single-family residential lots and three parcels for the open space area and two courts. Land division into five or more lots requires a Tentative Map (Community Development Department) and a Final Map (Engineering Department). The purpose of a tentative map is to show what currently exists and what is proposed on and adjacent to the property to be subdivided. A vesting tentative tract map designation confers the applicant with the right to proceed with the development in substantial compliance with the development standards in effect at the time of approval. Once approved and recorded, the final map will subdivide the property into 18 lots and three parcels for two private courts and one privately owned open space accessible to the public. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to Section 15183.3 and appendices M and N of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the City prepared an Infill Environmental Checklist and finds that the proposed project qualifies as an Infill Project that would result in new specific effects. However, these effects would be substantially mitigated under uniformly applicable development policies and thus, no further environmental review is required. Checklist document is available online at: https://www.sanleandro.org/DocumentCenter/View/6803/PLN21-0005-2824-Halcyon-Dr- Environmental-Infill-Consistency-Checklist. STAFF ANALYSIS The map conforms to the proposed Planned Development described in this report. As shown on the accompanying Tract Map, the single parcel will contain 18 numbered lots (residential lots) and three lettered parcels (for two private courts and one privately owned open space accessible to the public) for a total of 21 parcels with 18 single-family dwelling units that may be owned and/or sold individually. The Plan shows the footprint of the buildings that will occupy on top of the lots. The Plan also shows the two private courts and one privately owned open space accessible to the public.
