<br />Draft Excerpt of the Planning Commission Meeting Minutes <br />Agenda No. 07-04 <br /> <br />February 22,2007 <br />Page 30f3 <br /> <br />being posted on the properties themselves and on utility poles in the area, and in a legal <br />ad in the Daily Review. Although no one expressed objection to the rezone proposal per <br />se, a few Cherry Street residents (two by telephone and one by mail) expressed concerns <br />about eventual uses of the subject parcel(s), particularly auto-related uses. In summary, <br />Planner Barros said that staff recommends that the Planning Commission review: <br /> <br />· The proposed rezone of the subject properties to CC Commercial Community <br />· The associated environmental documentation, and <br />· Related amendment of the Zoning Map <br /> <br />and forward a recommendation of approval for the amendments and adoption of the <br />Negative Declaration to the City Council for consideration at a future meeting. <br /> <br />Applicants Wallace and Karen Boswell approached the lectern. Mr. Boswell said that <br />he has operated an auto and truck repair business in San Leandro for 30 years, with the <br />existing shop located at 2411 Washington Avenue. The Boswells want to move the <br />business approximately 150 feet onto the two Cherry Street parcels, construct a new <br />complex, including a sound wall, and meet any City requirements to improve the <br />appearance of the property. As regards any potential impact on the neighbors, he said <br />they try to run a very quiet business, ane that BART makes more noise than the shop ever <br />will. He test-drives vehicles on San Le<<ndro Boulevard and Washington Avenue, he said, <br />and not on Cherry Street. His shop tries to work with people in the community, and <br />customers have been bringing their vehicles to him for many years. He has San Leandro <br />customers who would provide any necessary letters or statements to describe his business <br />and its operation. <br /> <br />Chair Perras invited questions from the Commissioners. There were none. <br /> <br />Motion to Close Public Hearing <br />(Reed / Ponder; 6 Ayes, 0 Noes) <br /> <br />Chair Perras then invited Commissioners to discuss the proposal. There was no <br />discussion. <br /> <br />Motion to Forward PLN2006-00075 with Related Zoning Map <br />Amendment and Negative Declaration <br />to the City Council with a Recommendation for Approval <br /> <br />(Reed / Dlugosh; 6 Ayes, 0 Noes) <br />Motion passed <br />
