These changes are part of ongoing efforts to <br />modernize the Code, create more flexibility to meet market demands while ensuring <br />compatibility with neighboring uses, and to bring zoning in certain areas of the City into <br />conformance with the 2007 Downtown Transit Oriented Development Strategy and General <br />Plan Update 2035. <br />The series of proposed Zoning Code and Map amendments was the subject of a number of <br />information sessions before various city stakeholders, including the San Leandro Chamber of <br />Commerce, industrial property owners, downtown area stakeholders, the Downtown <br />Association and the San Leandro Improvement Association (SLIA). Letters were mailed out to <br />adjacent property owners and affected property owners on May 23 and a press release was <br />issued on June 8 and appeared in the San Leandro Times on June 9. <br />Following community input, staff is recommending that the P Professional zoning for the <br />Downtown East area (the approximately 20 parcels on Estudillo Avenue and Bancroft <br />Avenue) not be changed to DA-2 Downtown Area 2. The proposed changes to the <br />Professional Use Regulations would allow multi-family and mixed use residential at a density <br />of 24 units per acre on these parcels as a Conditionally Permitted Use (CUP) and the existing <br />30 foot height limit would remain. The staff report and tonight’s presentation has been <br />updated accordingly. <br />An overview of the proposed Zoning Code amendments will be provided at tonight’s Council <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/28/2016
