Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - June 21, 1993 Page - 24 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) He said, if the City Council concurred, staff would come back with the ordinance and the section numbers of the new Zoning Code to which it would apply. Steve Meyers pointed out that the City Council Agenda does not normally include draft ordinances because staff does not wish to presume the City Council 's decision. He said the City Council could disregard the ordinance at this time and direct staff as to what they wish the ordinance to contain. Council Member Myers said it appeared having the Applications go through staff, then, if necessary, through the Site Development Subcommission, Planning Commission, or City Council , would be the fastest way of processing the Applications. Mr. Weisbrod said this was correct. Council Member Corbett said she was interested in the staff process and bringing relief to the neighbors as quickly as possible and would support staff review with Site Development review if necessary. Mayor Faria said he agreed, as long as people had someone to go to other than staff. Council Member Kerr said he also agreed. He said originally the ordinance did not include the right of appeal , but since it will now, he concurred. Council Member Perry said the objective is to give relief to the neighborhoods as quickly as possible. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, said he likes it that there is some other body that citizens can present their case to. He said, however, the City Council was talking about water, and this looked like a wide-open door to beat up on every citizen who has a well . He said he feels everyone who has a well will be told to cover it up or get rid of it. Mayor Faria noted the State Department of Toxics is working in the areas of wells, and this is an on-going issue in San Leandro. Steve Meyers said this ordinance relates to contaminated soil sites only. There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Myers, seconded by Council Member Perry, and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed.
