Marian Handa, City Clerk June 12, 2007 Page 3 of that neighborhood by providing groceries and a small amount of household items for the convenience of the neighborhood residents. Grocery Outlet will provide these grocery goods within easy access of neighborhood residents. In doing so, Grocery Outlet will enrich both the neighborhood and the City by reducing the drive time necessary for neighborhood residents to obtain both typical and specialty grocery items. This will reduce both the traffic and emissions generated by neighborhood residents who would otherwise have to drive farther to satisfy their grocery needs. As the above demonstrates, Grocery Outlet is a neighborhood grocery store and, therefore, is a permitted use which does not need planning entitlements. Because the Moratorium exempts such projects from its scope, we request that the City issue the building permits necessary for Grocery Outlet to rearrange shelves and install the coolers within the store in order to open and begin serving the needs of neighborhood residents. We request that the San Leandro City Council overturn the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Zoning Enforcement Official's decision and permit the Grocery Outlet neighborhood grocery store to obtain its tenant improvement building permits and pursue the steps necessary to open for business.
