Excerpt of Draft Minutes from J 2-20-06 WSUMacArthur RA C Page 2 of2 IP; Pollart responded by stating that he was correct. Luke Sims, Business Development Manager, added that it is important for the RAC to remember that 14600 Catalina is actually not in the West San LeandrolMacarthur Boulevard Redevelopment Project area, but that this issue comes before the RAC because a change in the zoning code would trigger a change in the redevelopment project area plan. RAC member Federighi echoed and supported Sims' comments as he stated it was important for the RAC to consider the issue as a whole, rather than specifically concentrating on the application filed by FFC. RAC member Federighi continued by stating that he was supportive of the BZA recommendation that a special overlay district would be most effective in addressing proposed assembly-type uses in San Leandro. RAC member Walters also stated that he supported the recommendation of the BZA and also voiced concern regarding the precedent which would be set if the site at Catalina were rezoned to IL. In response to this, Pollart also added that a rezone of the Catalina site could also potentially set precedent for spot-zoning in industrial areas. At this point, the RAC deemed it appropriate to make two separate motions to address what they saw as two separate issues relating to the proposed zoning text amendment. In this, RAC member Walter moved for a motion that the RAC sees "no harm" in the BZA-recommended approach which would create a special <;>verlay district for assembly uses. MI Dan Walters; 81 John Faria; Motion Carried Unanimously RAe member Faria moved for a second motion in which the RAC did not support assembly uses as a conditionally permitted use in any areas which are zoned industrial. MI John Faria; 81 Gary Naman; Motion Carried Unanimously with Dale Reed Abstaining
