Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - December 6, 1993 Page - 14 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) I . Audrey Albers, 2037 Marina Court, pointed out various errors she saw on a previous map and some on this map in the Mulford Gardens Area. Staff said changes shown on Aurora Drive and others in the area were errors and would be corrected. There should not have been any changes in the Mulford Gardens Area. J. Howard Seversen, Jr. , 960 Dowling Boulevard, said he wants to purchase the property at 250 - 2nd Avenue and put in a machine shop or light manufacturing. He requested CS zoning, rather than CC, because CS allows industrial limited or industrial custom. He said this would be similar to other properties in the area. After discussion, Mr. Emslie suggested that the property be left undesignated now and studied; he said a possible remedy would be to change the zoning on the property and increase the horsepower permissible in the Industrial Custom zoning text. K. Merle Pethan, 477 Callan Avenue, said the I-P/I-G issue should not be revisited. He said, if the plan is to do I-L, Limited Industrial , on San Leandro Boulevard, Park Street Island, which is now I-G, should also be looked at, because everything in the area is now I-G. Mr. Emslie said Park Street Island could be looked at along with Peralta. L. Bill Taylor, Attorney for East Bay Leasing Corporation, Neptune and Williams, said his client objects to the Planning Commission zoning this property I-P. He said the Council has already agreed the property should be zoned I-2. The property owner has gotten tenants, clean uses, minimum traffic, significant revenue, and taxes. He said the Planning Commission has acted on the recommendation of a single person, Mr. Norry. He said the use has been productive for the City, and there is no need to reconsider this issue again. He asked the City Council to reject the Planning Commission recommendation and rezone the property I-G. He said the same situation applied to Mr. Kerry's property. M. Council Member Corbett asked if there had been any contact with the Park Street Island property owners about the proposed change. Staff said there had not; staff explained the reasoning for the I-L zoning. Council Member Corbett said there should be an opportunity for the residential property owners to review the zoning in that area. Mayor Faria asked if Mr. Pethan had contact with the property owners; Mr. Pethan said he did not think the property owners understood the zoning change. Mr. Emslie suggested that Park Street Island be designated I-L but that staff contact the property owners, explain what it means, and report back to Council . The City Manager said this area has been under consideration for major transition since 1987, the property owners have been appropriately noticed, and there has been extensive opportunity for them to participate in the process. He said it is inappropriate to change the recommendation at this time.
