Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - June 21, 1993 Page - 17 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) include a kitchen area, restrooms, a Manager's Office, and storage. He said there would be no drive-thru window, but all sales would be made on-site inside. He said the Planning Commission recommended approval and found the restaurant is complementary to the retail use on this site and might revitalize it. He said there are currently only two tenants in the development - Copeland Sports and a vacuum cleaner store. He said the Halcyon-Foothill Homeowners' Association expressed concerns at the Planning Commission Meeting, and the Applicant was directed to meet with the Homeowners' Association so their concerns could be brought forward. Council Member Perry said questions had been raised as to notification of the homeowners.
