Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - July 6, 1993 Page - 10 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) B. Matter of A-93-1 ; Reclassification; Re-Zone from R-1 (Single-Family) District to P (Professional ) District; 1222 - 136th Avenue and 13608 Rose Drive; Southeast Corner of 136th Avenue and Rose Drive; Assessor's Parcel Number 77D-1416-43 and 44; Galen Health Care, Inc. , dba San Leandro Hospital . Council Members Myers and Perry said they had a source of income from San Leandro Hospital , and, therefore would not participate in the Hearing. Mayor Faria pointed out that this matter would require four votes. This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, Norm Weisbrod, Associate Planner, said the subject properties are on 136th Avenue, zoned R-1, and consist of single-family homes. He said to the rear of the homes is San Leandro Hospital , which owns the two subject parcels as well as two other homes. He said the Hospital has applied for the re-zone from R-1 (Residential ) District to P (Professional ) District and proposes to use the single-family homes for Hospital -related purposes. He said one home would be used for the Accounting Office, with approximately four employees, and the other would be used for the Senior Friends Association and have approximately four employees providing services to senior citizens. He said the Planning Commission held a Hearing on March 25, and a number of residents on the street asked for more time to study the proposal . He said another Hearing was held on May 27, and the residents and Hospital representatives met to discuss concerns. He said the primary concerns were related to any change in appearance of the two single-family homes so. they would no longer resemble residential homes, hours of operation, parking by employees or patients or clients on residential streets, and a desire to keep the masonry wall . He said the Hospital and residents reached an agreement which was signed by both parties. He said, if the Hospital wants to convert the two homes to Hospital uses, they would be required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit through the Board of Zoning Adjustments. He said this would require a Public Hearing and public notification. He said the Conditions that are in the Agreement could also be placed on the Conditional Use Permit so they would be enforceable by the City. He said, by placing the Conditions in the Conditional Use Permit, they would be binding on the Hospital and enforceable by City staff, as compared to an agreement between the two parties, which would not be enforceable by the City. He said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the re-zoning. Mayor Faria asked how this re-zone fit in with the General Plan. Mr. Weisbrod said the General Plan does not define land use closely, and this is in conformance.
