Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - April 16, 1992 Page - 9 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Mr. Emslie said the desire was to avoid having two codes at the same time, and the transition would be made as fast as possible. Regarding the North Area, he said the Planning Commission had adopted a Resolution of Intention for Overlay for the North Area. Council Member Corbett asked if there would be problems meshing trend areas with the new Code requirements regarding light and air versus high-density, trend areas. She said the North Area encourages multiple units and does not seem to fit into the Zoning Code. Mr. Emslie said the North Area Specific Plan is advisory and the Code is not. He said if there is a conflict, the Code would drive the regulation. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Al Rosenga, 534'Parrott Street, Chairman of the Associated Homeowners Association, Inc. , Review Committee, said there has been a spirit of cooperation throughout this process. He said in applying the regulations 60-70% of properties would remain in the existing Zoning Ordinances. He said he is working with staff and the Planning Commission to make sure the legislative history is incorporated into the Code and will have a partial archive for the future. He said he recommended the City Council direct the Planning Commission to go ahead with the archives. He said they will have to come back with recommendations on changes. He said they will also be trying to assemble records related to all Plan Developments, Conditional Uses, etc. , as part of the archives. Mayor Karp expressed thanks to Mr. Rosenga on behalf of the City. Dan Gray, Reynolds and Brown, 2336 Merced Street, Representing the Chamber of Commerce/Manufacturers' Association Zoning Code Review Committee, said the Committee was convened at the request of the City Council three years ago. He thanked the numerous people who have been involved in preparation of the Code and also thanked Martin Vitz, Steve Emslie, and Kathleen Livermore. He said there was a lot of dynamic diversity during different times of development of the Code, but there was a great feeling of trust among all those working together. He said the Preamble in the Code tries to reflect the give and take and spirit of trust involved in preparation of the Code. Joanne Mattoon, 3810 Monterey Boulevard, said she hoped the City Council would adopt the Code. She said she felt if it had been adopted earlier there would be better projects in San Leandro.
