City Council Minutes - Draft February 21, 2012 Recreation, Cultural Institutions and Entertainment Activities The Hearing was opened to the public. MARGARITA LACABE, San Leandro resident, commented on the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel's (ICFG) lawsuit against the City, and called the City's Zoning Code unconstitutional. Ms. Lacabe stated that entertainment and recreational activities in the industrial areas would make those areas more attractive to employers. CHRIS CROW, San Leandro resident, commented that he raised the issue of the relationship between the proposed Zoning Code amendments and the ICFG lawsuit as a Planning Commissioner. Mr. Crow stated that he hoped the City Council would side with the Planning Commission, and that the Council could have an honest conversation on this issue. DAN DILLMAN, Xzault, commented that the proposed ordinance lacked the Board of Zoning Adjustments' and Planning Commission's recommendations, and he asked the Council to make the right decision for the residents of San Leandro. DAVID JOHNSON, San Leandro Chamber of Commerce, read a message that he sent to the City Council today, and commented that the proposed amendments be a disincentive to businesses that want an inviting, adaptive community and amenities for its employees. Mr. Johnson suggested that the Council refer the matter to the Business and Housing Development Committee. MIKE KATZ- LACABE, San Leandro resident, commented that he felt the Zoning Code amendments would unnecessarily limit the uses of the industrial area.
