File Number: 25-020 submitted Photo Simulations (Attachment C - Attachment 4), with vantage points from within Siempre Verde Park, and Park Street, a residential street east of the subject property. The photo simulations demonstrate that the monopine would not create any negative visual impacts. ·Surrounding topography - The property is relatively flat and capable of accommodating the proposed facility. ·Surrounding tree coverage and foliage - On both the subject property and nearby properties, there are medium-height evergreen cypress trees, and tall deciduous and evergreen trees (such as spruces, pines , and cypresses) that are consistent with the proposed monopine design. ·Design of the facility and the characteristics that reduce or eliminate visual impacts - A masonry wall would be constructed to match existing masonry on the property and landscaping would be provided to screen the facility. The monopine would provide sufficient branches and cladding to achieve effective camouflaging. (See Attachment C - Attachment 1 - Exhibit B - Project Plans , Sheet C-2.2, Northeast Elevation). ·Existing and proposed parking, as well as site ingress and egress - The facility would establish a 20-foot wide access easement, through an existing driveway, from San Leandro Boulevard to provide sufficient site access. Due to the proximity to a Major Transit Stop (San Leandro BART), the site is not required to provide any parking pursuant to State Law. ·Availability of suitable existing towers, buildings and structures that would provide site sharing and co-location opportunities in the project vicinity - The applicant has submitted an Alternative Sites Analysis (Attachment C - Attachment 7), which includes a coverage map illustrating the existing coverage gap, and a list of sites considered for co-location . The Alternative Sites Analysis indicates that the proposed Wireless Telecommunications Facility is needed to provide effective service in the target coverage area . GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE The proposed project would be consistent with the following goals and policies in the General Plan Community Services and Facilities Element: Goal CSF-4: Maximize access to information and communication services for San Leandro residents and businesses. Policy CSF-4.1: Telecommunications. Collaborate with telecommunication service providers, the business community, and investors to foster access to emerging information and communication technology . GOAL CSF-6: Ensure that local water, sewer, storm drainage, solid waste, energy, and telecommunication facilities are well maintained; improvements meet existing and future needs; and land use decisions are contingent on the adequacy and maintenance of such facilities. As noted, the subject site was identified in the City’s 2023-2031 General Plan Housing Element’s Sites Inventory as a suitable location for housing. The RF emissions analysis in Attachment C - Attachment 5 - EME Report demonstrates that the installation of the proposed Wireless Telecommunications Facility would not interfere with the ability to construct housing on the subject Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/4/2025
