INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to document conformance of Parcel Map 11619 with the City’s General Plan and applicable zoning regulations, in accordance with San Leandro Municipal Code Section 7-1-515.
BACKGROUND & PROPOSAL
The subject property is a 3.13-acre parcel of the San Leandro Tech Campus, located at the west end of Parrott Street (and Martinez Street), between the San Leandro BART station and Union Pacific’s Niles subdivision Railroad. A multi-level parking structure exists on the northern portion of the parcel and the remainder portion is undeveloped. The undeveloped portion was previously approved, in 2017, as a 7-story, residential mixed-use development including 13,000 square feet of office space on the ground floor and 197 units of multi-family residences above.
The intended residential mixed-use development has not occurred, but the development agreement for the project, Westlake Development Agreement, is valid until May 21, 2029. The owner, San Leandro Tech Campus LLC, is seeking to separate out the developed and undeveloped portions of the parcel by splitting the lot into two separate parcels: one parcel containing the existing parking garage and a separate the undeveloped parcel.
Parcel Map 11619 proposes to create two parcels by subdividing an existing parcel on Martinez Street (APN 75-47-63). The resulting parcels will measure 64,686 sf (Parcel A) and 71,874 sf (Parcel B). There is an existing 6-story, 270,816 square foot, garage structure on the property, which would be located on Parcel A.

General Plan
The property is designated Transit-Oriented Mixed Use in the City’s General Plan Land Use Map.
The purpose of this designation is to provide for a mix of high-intensity land uses that capitalize on proximity to the San Leandro BART station. This designation maximizes the potential for transitoriented infill development and achieves compatible transitions to adjacent residential districts through design standards and zoning.
The proposed development has not materialized, and this subdivision would allow Lot A to be sold separately from Lot B, which could increase its development potential and can be supported with the following General Plan Policies.
Policy LU-2.7 Location of Future Multi-Family Development. Concentrate new multi-family development in the areas near the BART Stations and along major transit corridors. • Policy LU-3.1 Mix of Unit Types. Encourage a mix of residential development types in the city, including single family homes on a variety of lot sizes, as well as townhomes, row houses, livework units, planned unit developments, garden apartments and medium to high density multifamily housing. • Policy LU-3.4 Promotion of Infill. Encourage infill development on vacant or underused sites within residential and commercial areas.
• Policy LU-3.5 Mixed Use on Transit Corridors. Encourage mixed use projects containing ground floor retail and upper floor residential uses along major transit corridors. Such development should be pedestrian-oriented, respect the scale and character of the surrounding neighborhood, and incorporate architectural themes that enhance the identity of adjacent commercial districts.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15315, of the CEQA Guidelines, Minor Land Divisions.
