Home

ORDINANCE NO. 2025-012 2 require that 3 acres per 1,000 persons is required to be devoted to neighborhood and community park and recreational purposes and that this requirement shall be applied to future subdivisions.” SECTION 3. Amendment of 7-1-820. Section 7-1-820, Standards and Formula for Dedication of Land, of the San Leandro Municipal Code is revised in its entirety to read as follows: “§ 7-1-820 Standards and Formula for Dedication of Land. Where a neighborhood and community park or recreational facility has been designated in the General Plan or in any Specific Plan adopted for a particular area of the City, and is to be located in whole or in part within the proposed subdivision to serve the immediate and future needs of the residents of the subdivision, the subdivider shall offer to dedicate land or, if no such dedication, pay a fee in lieu thereof, or a combination of the above, in accordance with Sections 7-1-825 through 7-1-860, for a local park sufficient in size and topography to serve the residents of the subdivision. The amount of land to be provided shall be determined pursuant to the following standards and formula: Size of Residential Unit Average Persons/Dwelling Unit Acreage Requirement <500 Sq. Ft. 1.2 (Population/1000)*3 500-750 Sq. Ft. 1.5 >751-1,150 Sq. Ft. 2.3 >1,150-1,650 Sq. Ft. 3.2 >1,650-1,950 Sq. Ft. 4.1 >1,950 Sq. Ft. 5.1 Notes: *Population = Average Persons Per Dwelling Unit multiplied by the number of dwelling units. A credit against the amount of land to be provided shall be given for any dwelling units existing within the proposed subdivision within two years prior to the submittal of the tentative map. Such credit shall be determined using the above standards and formula.” SECTION 4. CEQA. Approval of the amendments is exempt from environmental review under the general rule in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The Ordinance amends the standards for the dedication of park land, but does not authorize any subdivision project or commit the City to any specific park project, and each future subdivision and/or park project will be fully evaluated in compliance with applicable CEQA requirements. Accordingly, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment.
