City of San Leandro 880 Doolittle Drive Industrial Project 2-4 2.4 Existing Site Characteristics 2.4.1 Site History and Existing Conditions The project site is entirely developed. Existing on-site development consists of an approximately 207,000 square-foot industrial masonry building, an approximately 4,700 square-foot industrial masonry building, and paved surface parking lots, including a large surface parking lot covering approximately the northern half of the site. These existing buildings are vacant, and the unoccupied condition is the circumstance used for the environmental baseline in this document. Unpaved portions of the site are limited to small islands of landscaping, such as a strip of landscaping around the cul-de-sac at the end of Hester Street and landscaping along the easternmost project site boundary. Existing landscaping is a mix of non-native and weedy ground cover consisting of ruderal grass. There are inactive railroad tracks adjacent to the south and west of the site, and there is an active railroad corridor approximately 400 feet east of the project site. In addition to the on-site warehouses, the project site has also been used as vehicle parking for people departing from the Oakland International Airport. However, operation of airport parking on the site ended during the COVID-19 pandemic and never resumed. The project site is currently vacant with no active operations. Representative photographs of existing site conditions are shown on Figure 2-3. 2.4.2 General Plan Designation The project site is designated as General Industrial (IG) in the San Leandro 2035 General Plan (City of San Leandro 2016).
