File Number: 25-193 The amendments would define “Oversized Vehicle” to include vehicles or combinations of vehicles and loads that exceed 22 feet in length, 6 feet in width, or 7 feet in height. This definition includes large RVs, trailers, fifth wheels, and semi-trucks. Existing regulations prohibit oversized vehicles from parking in residential areas overnight (between 2 am and 6 pm). The amendments would prohibit oversized vehicle parking Citywide for more than two hours unless loading, unloading, or performing a service. The amendments may improve street safety, accessibility, and neighborhood aesthetics. However, if adopted and enforced, they may also impact unhoused individuals who live in RVs by reducing viable parking options. Enforcement could unintentionally displace individuals living in vehicles. San Leandro Waterways San Leandro regulates the portion of the San Francisco Bay that falls within City Limits. San Leandro Municipal Code Chapter 4-19 currently regulates the use and operation of the San Leandro Marina and surrounding waters; however, the Code has proved to be inadequate in regulating anchoring and live aboard boaters in waterways outside of the Marina. The City closed the Marina in early 2023 and blocked boats from using the Marina in early 2024. Once the Marina was blocked, up to four boats at a time were observed anchoring overnight in San Leandro waters. Amendments are proposed to Municipal Code Chapter 4-19 to include a prohibition on anchoring, living aboard, or beaching a vessel in San Leandro waters. The ordinance authorizes the City to either issue a notice to abate or, when there is danger to public health, safety, or welfare, to perform emergency removal of the vessel. There is a provision in the ordinance for issuance of a special permit for anchoring or mooring a vessel for purposes of special exhibitions or events. GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE The proposal is consistent with numerous goals and policies in the City’s General Plan, as listed in Attachment G. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that it is not a Project that has the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). No further environmental review is necessary. The proposed package of amendments includes amendments that would align the City’s regulations with the requirements of federal law. The City cannot exercise its subjective judgement regarding those amendments due to preemption by federal law, and therefore the action is not discretionary in nature. Other proposed Code amendments are modifications to existing regulations that have no possibility of creating a significant environmental impact.
