Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 1, 1993 Page - 12 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) President has stated that Williams is a residential street. Mr. Kerry said it is not; it is a truck route. He said he wants to have a nice place and wants to make the most of the site. He said the yard is generally wide open. He said he talked to BCDC about their requirements, and those requirements are extensive. He said, if a new building is added, BCDC rules would be invoked. He said, as it stands, they are using the property as a legal , non-conforming use, and they want it re-zoned to I-2 so they can go about their business. Council Member Corbett asked if Best would be increasing the amount of truck traffic in the future if the zoning is changed. Mr. Kerry said he went through this process to get this Permit. He said, if they could live with the Conditions, they wouldn't be trying to get the property re-zoned. He said he is trying to keep industry in the City and doesn't know of any plans for expansion of the operation. Doug Federighi , spoke regarding A-92-07. He said he owns the property at the north side of Williams Street, between Aurora and Neptune Drive. He said he has no problem with the City delaying the re-zone until the new Zoning Code comes into effect. He said his property is already completely developed according to the I-P zone, and he has no plans to change its present use. He said they do seek relief by re-zoning related to the use. He presented Conditional Use Conditions for the property to the City Council and described those that create an unfair burden. He said his is one of the few properties in San Leandro that must allow turning for inter-state trucks, not semi 's. He said the impact of this Condition was to eliminate the potential for small units and create larger units, which are more difficult to rent. He said he is required to provide for large trucks., but he is subject to Conditions that greatly limit the use of large trucks. He said the item related to parking is unreasonable because it is very difficult to enforce where people park. He said the City has a right to dictate what goes on on public streets. He said he felt Items e and f were nuisance items. He said Item g precludes a range of tenants, such as auto-related uses for windshield replacement, installation of car alarms, etc. , that could be done within the building. He said these restrictions caused a tenant who occupied 30% of the site to leave. Council Member Kerr asked if this was the moving company. Mr. Federighi said it was a moving company. The company had contracted with the military to store furniture from service men for short periods of time. There was a considerable amount of truck traffic and large trucks. He said, if several large trucks arrived at the same time, there was no way they could meet the Conditions.
