San Leandro City Council
July 7, 2025

GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE
The following are the specific General Plan policies and actions that support the proposal:
• Housing Element Policy P.5.2. Affirmatively Further Fair Housing. The City shall monitor and ensure compliance with the City’s obligation to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing.
• Housing Element Policy P.5.8. Focus Housing Opportunity Programs for Vulnerable and Underrepresented Residents. The City shall focus outreach for homeownership and affordable housing opportunity programs to residents in areas vulnerable to displacement and to populations that are underrepresented in the housing market.
• Housing Element Policy P.5.10. Reduce Barriers. Evaluate and reduce barriers to housing that disproportionately affect populations in protected classes, lower income households, and special needs populations by rescinding or mitigating development standards that are exclusionary, discriminatory, or otherwise impede the development of housing that is affordable to lower income households, including prohibitions on multi-family housing, limitations on density, and other standards that increase the cost of constructing housing. • Housing Element Action 15.2. The City shall review the City’s existing reasonable accommodation policy and grievance procedure, update as needed, and provide a link to its Reasonable Accommodations policy on the Housing and City Clerk pages of the City website. Revise reasonable accommodation application review policy to remove criteria that may limit reasonable accommodations, including consideration of potential impact on surrounding uses.
• Policy LU-1.2: Code Enforcement. Maintain aggressive code enforcement and nuisance abatement programs to ensure that San Leandro’s neighborhoods remain attractive and free of public nuisances.
• Policy LU-1.12. Encroachment of Incompatible Uses. Protect residential neighborhoods from the impacts of incompatible non-residential uses and disruptive traffic, to the extent possible. Zoning and design review should ensure that compatibility issues are fully addressed when non-residential development is proposed near or within residential areas.
• Action LU-7.9.A. Zoning Review. Regularly review the Zoning Code to respond to real estate market and development trends, as well as changes in technology. • Policy T-1.7. Off-Street Parking Standards. Implement variable parking standards that reflect such factors as proximity to transit, type of occupancy (seniors, etc.), number of bedrooms (for housing), and the expected level of parking demand. Parking requirements should reflect the City's goal of reducing vehicle miles traveled.
• Policy T-7.6: Safe Visibility. Maintain site design, engineering, and zoning standards which ensure that adequate visibility is maintained along streets and driveways.
