Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 18, 1992 Page - 16 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) eliminate perhaps one third of that traffic. She said the violations are strictly Best Company because Best must meet the requirements of Coca-Cola. In response to questions from City Council , Ms. Scilley said Mulford Gardens had rejected Best's alternative proposal because there would still be violations of the Conditions of Approval which would create truck noise. Council Member Santos said he did not feel the truck noise could be worse than the noise created by airplanes taking off and landing at the Oakland Airport and asked if staff had tested for noise levels. Ms. Scilley said the basis of the action is not related to noise, but that Best has expanded their allowable level of activity in a non-conforming use. She said there are no limits on noise, but there are limits on the number of truck trips and the hours of operation. Mayor Karp recommended that the City Council look at re-zoning this property back to I-2. Ms. Scilley said the use would then be legal . Steve Emslie, Planning Manager, said there are a number of areas to look at in assessing a potential re-zoning. He said the area currently zoned I-P encompasses a number of properties. He said the Texeira/East Bay Leasing property is I-P, there are some I-2 properties served by Polvorosa Avenue, as well as a couple of I-P office uses. He said Williams Street is basically under-utilized and there is excess capacity. In response to comments by the City Council , Steve Meyers, City Attorney, recommended the City Council not take action to revoke the zoning approval tonight but that they continue the Hearing, pending a zoning study, and direct staff to prepare a Resolution of Intention to Re-Zone from I-P to I-2.
