Mayor Karp noted that, on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked. He said he had issued a proclamation today for Pearl Harbor Day. He asked for a moment of silence in remembrance of the many fine Americans who lost their lives in the service of their country in World War II . He said he hopes this kind of thing will never happen again. 5. PUBLIC COMMENTS Public Comments are limited to 3 minutes per person. A. Al Rosenga, 534 Parrott Street, commented on the matter of business licenses for single-family homes. He said any additional fees placed on landlords or homeowners will be passed on to renters, which decreases the availability of rental properties in San Leandro. He said he was speaking primarily on behalf of young people who find it difficult to pay for housing. He hoped the City Council would discuss this matter with homeowners, as well as members of larger complexes, to see how they handle this. He said one to four units is considered almost a private residence; four and above is a commercial enterprise. He said duplexes were designed for a second unit, even if the owner occupies the first unit. He said some people who can afford it have a single-family home to rent. Mayor Karp noted Mr. Vargas had requested that single-family rentals be charged like apartment houses, and the Apartment Owners Association requested business licensing for duplexes.
