Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 1, 1993 Page - 11 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) homeowners association on an individual basis to review the Maps and then will take the community input information to the Planning Commission. Mr. Weisbrod noted that, when the Planning Commission considered A-92- 02, they also passed a Resolution of Intention to consider re-zoning A- 92-07 from I-P to I-2, at the request of the property owner. He said the property has 20 warehouse-type bays. He said the Planning Commission denied the re-zone request, and A-92-07 was also appealed to the City Council . He said the concerns with that property are similar to those for A-92-02. Council Member Kerr asked, related to the Federighi property, what the big difference would be between the I-2 and the I-P zoning on what the bays could be used for. Mr. Weisbrod said there had been a moving company that was required to relocate. He said, under I-2, the uses could be those that generate heavier truck traffic than under I-P. Mr. Weisbrod noted that the Federighi property has a requirement to provide a turning radius at the rear of the building so that trucks may go around the building instead of backing out and also to allow fire truck access. Council Member Kerr asked if the City could legally prevent someone from backing out of their own driveway onto the street. Mr. Weisbrod said, under discretionary review, the City could make such a requirement. He said backing out onto the street is only permitted in single-family homes and duplexes. He said all other zones require that vehicles be able to turn around on the site. Mayor Karp then requested that Mr. Kerry speak, followed by Mr. Federighi . William H. Kerry, spoke regarding A-92-02. He said, when he attempted to start action to re-zone properties in the area zoned I-P, everyone who was zoned I-P sent in letters in strong support of the re-zone. He said one of the reasons for his attending the Council meeting is that he operates the property on Neptune Drive and is conversant with the demands of BCDC. He said previous to his Application, Mr. Texeira, who has the Symons Corporation, had his property re-zoned to I-2. He said Mr. Texeira has done a good job and so has Mr. Kerry. He said the trucking operation is an exemplary operation; however, he said there is a continuous problem. He said the trucking operation has a legal , non- conforming-use Permit. He said Best's only client is Coca-Cola Company; and, at the time the Permit was obtained, they felt they could live within its limits. Since then, Coca-Cola has obtained a new client in China, and Best has no choice but to make deliveries when Coke wants them to. Mr. Kerry says he feels he has been subjected to harassment. He said Ruan Company left and moved to Tracy because of the problems. He said he is here because his Permit says trucks can only be run during certain hours. He said the homeowners association
