Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - March 16, 1992 Page - 11 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) there would be no lease to trucking operations, and Mr. Texeira is now unhappy because Mulford Gardens objects to proposed operations that would mean moving equipment down Williams Street, starting at 5:00 a.m. and moving all day, including Saturdays and Sundays. He said he feels the property owners could find some I-P tenants if they were not trying to lease the entire property out to one company. He said Mr. Texeira has been turned down for rezoning by the Planning Commission and staff has recommended against it. He said his group hopes the City Council will reject the request for rezoning. Ms. Jones, 2660 Williams Street, said she has been a resident since 1955. She said she has no complaints about the neighborhood.

In response to a question from the City Council , June Catalano said staff could come back to the City Council in May with a rundown on all of the property in the area. The City Council and staff discussed the history of the subject property and said it had been rezoned to I-P in approximately 1983. They viewed overhead slides that showed the zoning of the areas surrounding the subject property.
