SUMMARY
BKF Engineers, on behalf of the City of San Leandro as the property owner, has submitted Parcel Map 11312 for City Council approval.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving Parcel Map 11312, a four-lot subdivision of City owned lands at the northwest corner of Fairway Drive and Monarch Bay Drive.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is City-owned land, approximately 39.48 acres in size, currently occupied by the Marina Golf Course, the Maintenance Facility and the Mulford-Marina Branch Library. To the north of the property is Marina Boulevard and residential properties, to the west of the property is Monarch Bay Drive and several shoreline commercial uses, to the south of the property is Fairway Drive and the Monarch Bay Golf Course, and to the east of the property is the Mulford Gardens neighborhood.
Analysis
After more than a decade of community outreach and planning, on June 21, 2022, the City Council approved planning entitlements for the Monarch Bay Shoreline development, a public-private partnership between the City of San Leandro and Cal Coast Companies LLC, Inc. designed to fulfill the community’s vision for a self-sustaining, high-quality, mixed-use development complemented by recreational amenities along the San Francisco Bay. Additionally, on June 21, 2022, the City Council approved a Development Agreement for the project and a Second Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement and Purchase and Sale Agreement related to the sale and development of the land currently owned by the City in the project area.
Parcel Map 11312 will subdivide the two City-owned parcels into four parcels. Parcel 1 will be sold to the shoreline developer, Cal Coast Companies LLC, Inc. for the eventual development of 144 detached single-family homes, 62 townhomes, and related site improvements. Parcels 2 & 3 encompass the locations of City-owned and maintained sanitary sewer and recycled water facilities. Parcel 4 contains the Mulford-Marina Branch Library, the Maintenance Facility, and the Marina Golf Course, which will be reconfigured as part of the Shoreline Development project.
