Planner II Sally Barros presented the facts surrounding the proposed rezoning of five Cherry Street and W ashington Avenue properties to CC Community Commercial. The applicant and the property owners of two parcels located at the comer of Cherry Street and Hudson Lane approached the City to process a rezone consistent with the General Plan's Corridor Mixed Use designation. In analyzing this proposal, staff identified an opportunity to improve conformity with the General Plan in the area and thus enlarged the scope of the proposed rezone to include three additional properties that are located in the vicinity that are also designated Corridor Mixed Use. Currently zoned either RD (Residential Duplex) or IL (Industrial Light}, the subject properties are located between Washington Avenue and San Leandro Boulevard and comprise five separate parcels: · 2392 Cherry Street and "No address" Cherry Street are used for vehicle storage. · 2385 Washington Avenue contains a single-family home. . 2395 Washington Street contains a warehouse and wholesale distribution business. . 2411 Washington Street is used for vehicle storage and an auto repair business.
