Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - July 15, 1991 Page - 29 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Council Member Santos asked questions regarding the discussions with East Bay Regional Park District. Council Member Glaze asked if Citation had talked with homeowners associations in the area. Mr. Alvarez said yes and that the General Development Plan would include a process for receiving input from the homeowners associations. There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Faria, seconded by Council Member Glaze, and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed. Council Member Santos reviewed the testimony that had been received during the course of the meeting and said many hours have been spent in attempting to develop a policy for this property that makes sense for the community. He said it has taken many years to develop a policy and a definitive program that will protect the wildlife and the habitat in the area. He noted that the property could be developed at any time under the existing I-2 zoning. He said negotiations have been long and difficult, and he believes there will be a policy for the whole area that will benefit the community. Council Member Glaze spoke regarding the density requirement. He said the Council had learned with the Marina High School site that it was better to look at the General Development Plan and then decide what type of density was desired. Council Member Santos concurred. Council Member Faria said the General Development Plan would be where the City Council would make decisions related to density. Council Member Corbett said she disagreed. She felt the S District was enacted to allow the City Council to make these types of conditions and she felt it was appropriate to have the density limit be part of the Conditions. Council Member Perry concurred. Council Member Glaze made a motion to approve the zoning with the deletion of wording in Criteria #13 related to density and the addition of proposed Criteria #15. Council Member Santos seconded the motion. There was then considerable discussion by the City Council . Council Member Corbett said she had concerns related to Condition #6, access to the site. She said she was concerned that there was no specific statement on how access would be developed and how the habitat area would be protected. Other members of the City Council said that this matter would be addressed in the General Development Plan.
