Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - May 21, 1990 Page - 6 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued : The City Council asked questions regarding the types of retail or commercial uses which would be permitted under the Zoning Code, the possibility of problems with traffic caused by retail uses, and what effect the new Zoning Code would have on the subject property. They also asked what the process would be if the developer and staff disagreed as to whether or not a tenant was permissible in the I-P zone. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Michael Knuppe, 5137 Shadowridge Drive, Castro Valley, one of the owners of the property, spoke regarding the application. He described various improvements that had been made in connection with the site, including street and sidewalk widening. He said there is enough parking on site for one vehicle for every 250 square feet. He said his company has spent a substantial amount of money for market research on this site and there is a lot of competition with other storage facilities. He said he is trying to attract tenants and feels there must be retail and commercial uses to make the site feasible. He said if rezoning is needed he would be willing to undertake that process. He pointed out other locations in the immediate area which have retail uses such as a deli and a mini -mart. The City Council asked what types of uses he wished to attract to the facility and whether he would agree to tenant-by-tenant approval of occupants. There being no further comments from the public, on motion of Council Member Glaze, seconded by Council Member Polvorosa and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed.
