City of San Leandro 14143-14273 Washington Avenue Warehouse Project 16 Regulatory Setting San Leandro 2035 General Plan The following Land Use Element policy of the San Leandro 2035 General Plan describes the intended aesthetic vision for the Washington corridor. LAND USE ELEMENT Policy LU-8.5: Maintain areas in the City that are appropriate for lumberyards, construction suppliers, automotive repair shops, and other commercial uses that are industrial in character or that are typically located in industrial areas. While development standards in these areas should respect the operational characteristics of these uses, they should still promote aesthetic improvements, adequate buffering for nearby uses, traffic safety, and a more positive visual image.
