Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - May 21, 1990 Page - 5 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) : pilasters. She said the Board of Zoning Adjustments was unable to make findings to approve the fence. The fence does not comply with the General Plan, it is not recognized as being beneficial to the development of the property and it negatively affects the appearance of the property. She read a letter from the adjacent property owner at 2152 West Avenue 136th opposing the fence. The City Council asked if there were any other front-yard fences in the area and whether the property owner was told by a City Inspector that it was permissible to proceed with building the fence. She responded that staff had not authorized continued construction of the fence. The Hearing was then opened to the public. The Applicant was not present to comment on the Appeal . Larry Norry, President of Mulford Gardens Improvement Association, said the Association opposed the fence. There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Polvorosa, seconded by Council Member Faria and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed. On motion of Council Member Santos, seconded by Council Member Perry, with Council Member Glaze abstaining, the City Council upheld the decision of the Board of Zoning Adjustments and denied the Appeal . b. Matter of PD-88-10 GDP/PDP (1st Modification); General Development Plan/Precise Development Plan; Modification to Planned Unit Development to Extend Time Schedule for Commencement and Completion of Construction and to Allow Commercial Retail and General Office Uses in the Development; 2000 Doolittle Drive; AAAAA Rent-A-Space; I-P (Industrial Park) District. This being the time and place for the public hearing on the above matter, Gaye Quinn, Acting City Planner, said that the subject Planned Development was approved by the City Council in 1988. The subject modification requested a one-year extension of time to December 16, 1991 for commencement of construction and also requested that the permitted uses be expanded to include retail tenants. She said the Planning Commission was recommending a time extension to September 1, 1991 , but did not recommend approval of the requested retail uses. She described the property, which is located on Doolittle Drive north of Marina Blvd. She said that it is zoned I-P and the existing approval is for an industrial park. She said the time extension is a minor issue; the major issue is the commercial/retail request. She said that, according to the existing Zoning Code, which is somewhat vague on this matter, only those retail or commercial uses which would serve uses in the immediate industrial area are permitted. She said the addition of retail uses could lead to problems, including increased traffic, and that the Negative Declaration was based on the original approval only.
