Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - July 6, 1992 Page - 17 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) that the Applicant apply for a Planned Development. He also described the circumstances under which Site Development Subcommission review and approval would be required for a commercial use of the site. Mayor Karp said the Zoning Code requires 11 off-street parking spaces unless the City Council changes it. Council Member Perry asked if there are any other three-story developments in the area. Mr. Weisbrod described developments on Haas Avenue, Bancroft/Dolores, Clarke Street, Davis Street, and the downtown area, and said that many of them were Planned Developments.
