C7 PUBLIC HEARINGS 00 lea o J ack Acord, 2273 Fairway Drive, San Leandro, from an adverse decision of the Plannin: Commission in den in an a•plication for a Zoni Permit with Site Plan, Architectural and Landscape Approval in order to construct a seven -unit U multiple dwelling at 4795 Harrison St., in an RG -15 District Vice -Mayor Bubics declared the Public Hearing open. Mr. Fales read the report of the Planning Commission which stated that the Commission at the meeting of March 9th, took action denying the subject zoning permit for the following reasons: 1. The proposed site plan indicates a lack of adequate usable open space on the site. This lack of usable open space would be detri- mental to the subject development and to the public interest. 2. The proposed driveways and off - street parking areas are not ade- quately planned, resulting in a profusion of asphalt areas on the site. 3. The proposed architectural and landscaping plans indicate a lack of imagination, resulting in a poor overall plan. Development in accordance with the proposed plan would, in the opinion of the Commission, be detrimental to the ultimate value of the subject property, adjacent properties, and the neighborhood, resulting in a downgrading of the surrounding area which would, in turn, be a detriment and contrary to the public interest. Mr. Fales read the Staff report which recommended approval providing certain conditions are met. Mr. Jack Acord, the owner and developer of this property, presented the archi- tectural plans and explained the off - street parking and relocation of the refuse cans. The City Clerk reported that there had been no written communications regard- ing this Public Hearing. It was moved by Councilman Gerton and seconded by Councilman Harding that the Public Hearing be closed.
