<br />DRAFf MINUTES <br />City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-May 7, 2007 <br /> <br />Page 11 <br /> <br />Catalina Street from Industrial Park (IP) to Industrial Park, Assembly Use Overlay <br />(IP-AU). No physical changes to the properties are proposed as part of this <br />entitlement. The project site is located at the southeast comer of Catalina Street and <br />Farallon Drive and is comprised ofthree separate parcels. Assessor's Parcel Numbers <br />80G-933-20, -21, and -22-1; International Church Foursquare Gospel (Property <br />Owner and Applicant). <br /> <br />This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, City Manager <br />J ermanis gave background on the item and introduced Planning Manager Debbie <br />Pollart. Ms. Pollart gave a PowerPoint presentation providing additional background on <br />the Applicant's request for a rezone of the 14600/14850 Catalina property to IP-AU to <br />allow for assembly use, the reasons for the Planning Commission's denial ofthe request <br />for rezone and zoning map amendment, the Applicant's appeal of the decision, and <br />staff s recommendation. <br /> <br />Appellant Peter MacDonald addressed the City Council regarding the zoning issues, <br />including the adverse parking and traffic impacts generated by the church at its current <br />location on Manor Boulevard. Mr. MacDonald noted that the new location on Catalina <br />has ideal facilities and parking for the church, as well as good arterial access. Mr. <br />MacDonald commented that he feels churches are compatible uses with light industrial. <br />He indicated that their uses are complementary because their activities peak at different <br />times, and churches support ancillary services that businesses need, such as child care, <br />after school programs and human support activities. Mr. MacDonald noted that <br />neighboring businesses have expressed support for the church's relocation to Catalina. <br />He commented on Farallon Drive as an arterial, providing access to main streets and the <br />freeway. <br /> <br />Paul Gantt, speaking on behalf of Faith Fellowship, stated that he is a certified safety <br />professional and registered environmental assessor and has reviewed the health and <br />safety concerns associated with this project. Following his study, he concluded that <br />there is no rational reason to restrict the church from locating to the site on the basis of <br />the health and safety concerns. Mr. Gant provided a brief background on hazardous <br />materials business plans and the overlapping federal, state and local regulations which <br />protect the safety of workers and the community. <br /> <br />Gary Mortara, pastor of Faith Fellowship Church, commented that he believed he was <br />working hand in hand with City staff, and the Planning Commission's denial caught <br />him off guard. Pastor Mortara stated that he didn't feel the application should have <br />been denied due to health hazard, and the property meets seven of the eight criteria <br />established for the Assembly Use Overlay. He indicated that the subject property fits <br />the church's use very well. Pastor Mortara commented that the church does not provide <br />paid babysitting; however, child care is provided for their programs. He described the <br />current services and the days and hours they are provided. <br /> <br />Jeff McGallion, speaking on behalf of Faith Fellowship, commented that he went to <br />Orange, Texas to help rebuild after Hurricane Rita. He observed that churches are where <br />people turn in an emergency; churches make the community. <br />
