Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 1, 1993 Page - 17 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Mr. Weisbrod said Ruan-Best is not an approved use in the I-P zone. He said, under the I-G zone, they could get a Conditional Use and establish Conditions to be a permitted use. He said, if the City Council approves the I-2 zoning tonight, the use would be permitted; but, if it were re-zoned to I-G, it would become a legal , non- conforming use. Council Member Perry asked questions regarding the setback and landscaping requirements on I-G. Mr. Weisbrod said there is a 10-foot setback requirement, and 5% of the total site must be devoted to landscaping. Council Member Myers asked, if this property were re-zoned to I-2, would everything except Reynolds and Brown then be I-2, and then be considered I-G under the new Zoning Code. Steve Emslie said there is no one-for-one transfer in the new Zoning Code, so these would be I-G. He said, if the City Council changed the zoning to I-2, staff would apply I-G in the future. He said if the trucking firm increased in size it would be a modification to its Conditional Use and would have to come back to the BZA. Council Member Perry said she is concerned about being consistent in whatever zone is selected so that everything becomes I-G in the new Zoning Code. Council Member Corbett asked if Best could expand their use if their property were re-zoned right now. Mr. Emslie said Best-Ruan is not legal under the existing zoning, so they would need a Use Permit under the I-G zoning. Steve Meyers said properties that were zoned I-2 tonight would have all the rights of I-2 until the I-G Map is adopted. He said once a property becomes I-G, they would be allowed to operate at whatever legal standards they were operating under when they became I-G. They would then need a Conditional Use for any activities which exceeded those standards. Mr. Weisbrod noted, if the City Council approved the I-2 zoning tonight, it would be at least six weeks before it would become effective. In response to a question from Council Member Kerr, Norm Weisbrod said there would still be two small I-P zones within the area. Council Member Corbett asked for an explanation of the difference between I-G, I-P, and I-2. Steve Emslie said the I-G zoning would not apply until the Zoning Map is considered. He said it is somewhat more restrictive than the I-2 zone is now. He said it requires a Conditional Use for trucking facilities. He said manufacturing uses are permitted under all the zones. He said I-2 has the most setbacks; I-G has a 10-foot front yard setback. He said parking is relatively the same. He said under I-G staff review of design standards is required.
