Council okays K Mart but rejects apartments in San Leandro
San Leandro city council approved a 5.5 million K Mart shopping center at the southwest corner of Floresta Boulevard and Washington Avenue after a four hour hearing but denied an adjoining 152 apartment units. About 260 Floresta Gardens homeowners opposed both proposals citing traffic noise and pollution. The plan calls for a K Mart and supermarket on 5.7 acres with Lincoln Development Co. proposing 152 apartments on 5.7 acres nearby. The planning commission had earlier rejected related requests, and residents warned the project would add thousands of cars daily while hurting local stores.
