• Shows proposed layout of a subdivision, lot details, infrastructure, and public utilities
• Locks in development regulations in effect at time of filing • Does not permit demolition, grading, or construction
Final Map:
• After VTTM is approved, applicant must submit and receive Council approval of a Final Map that aligns with the VTTM and meets all conditions of approval • Once Final Map is approved, the subdivision can be officially recorded, and individual lots are created
Subdivision Process
Required findings can be made as VTTM 8643 is:
• Consistent with the San Leandro 2035 General Plan, as it includes affordable and market rate housing in a mix of unit types and would redevelop the San Leandro Shoreline • Consistent with the San Leandro Subdivision Ordinance • Consistent with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code • There is no basis to make any of the following denial findings as set forth in Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act:
The VTTM is consistent with the General Plan as specified in § 65451 of the Government Code and the following denial findings cannot be made:
• That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable General and Specific plans
• That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development • That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development • That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat Staff Analysis
• October 3, 2024: Planning Commission adopted a Resolution recommending City Council Approval of VTTM 8643
