SUMMARY
Staff has developed a set of proposed revisions to the various sections of the San Leandro Zoning Code text and Zoning Map in an effort to bring them into conformance with changes as proposed in the General Plan Update 2035. These changes are part of ongoing efforts to modernize the Code, create more flexibility to meet market demands while ensuring compatibility with neighboring uses, and to bring zoning in certain areas of the City into conformance with the 2007 Downtown Transit Oriented Development Strategy and General Plan Update 2035.

Letters were mailed out to adjacent property owners and affected property owners on May 23 and a press release was issued on June 8 and appeared in the San Leandro Times on June 9.
