Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - December 6, 1993 Page - 15 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) N. Bill Kerry, 151 Callan, said he was surprised the Planning Commission recommended I-P zoning in the Neptune/Williams area and asked the Council to adhere to its decision. 0. Larry Norry, 2532 Williams Street, representing the Mulford Gardens Improvement Association, said the single-family neighborhood should be protected. He said I-L is supposed to be adjacent to residential zones to act as a buffer. He said Frank Texeira got I- P uses on his property without going to I-2 or trucking companies. He said he is concerned about having the residential area adjacent to I-G, and the Planning Commission agreed and recommended that Williams Street between Aurora Drive and Neptune Drive, and all of Neptune Drive from Williams Street to Oyster Park, be zoned I-P. He described the history of the area and problems with a trucking company in the I-P zoning. He said Paradiso and Reynolds and Brown are I-P and happy with it. He requested that the City Council accept the Planning Commission recommendation and zone the property I-P. P. Dr. Gee, owner of property on Joaquin Avenue, said it has been changed from multiple- to single-family residential . He said the lot is large, 85' x 140' , and no one with a small family will buy such a big lot for a house. It will be bought by someone with 8 or 10 kids, which will result in many cars, noise, etc. He said the property could be zoned RM 1800 and allow six units for upper- class, older adults. He said the property could be better used as multiple, low-density units. Q. Lou Filipovich, asked if amendments to the Zoning Code are permissive or mandatory. He said he was concerned with the process of filing an Appeal . He said building heights should be permissive, without specific heights, but on a case-by-case basis. R. Scott Grubbs, said 20 horsepower in a machine shop is not much; water-soluble cutting oil is non-toxic; Joaquin north of E. 14th Street could be turned into a one-way street. He said the City should use geo-satellite equipment and aerial photos to get the placement of buildings. There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Myers, seconded by Council Member Nahm, and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed.
