<br /> <br />Exhibit D: Excerpt of Board of Zoning Adjustments Meeting Minutes, April 3, 2014 <br /> <br />Item 7A: Miscellaneous <br />Consideration of amendments to the City of San Leandro Zoning Code related to Industrial and <br />Commercial Uses; Telecommunications; Hazardous Materials; Recycling; Signs; Parking; Application <br />Processing and General Text Update. (Barros) <br />Planner Barros said changes recommended and discussed during the January 30, 2014 joint work <br />session with the Planning Commission have been incorporated into the text of the proposed Zoning Code, <br />plus some changes in response to comments gathered at the work session and also some produced by staff <br />since the work session. The proposed Zoning Code sections affected were included in Planner Barros’ <br />staff report of April 3, 2014, using the typical protocol of strikethrough type for language deleted and <br />underscored boldface type for insertions. <br />The proposed document: <br />Adds provisions related to commercial roll-up doors <br /> Clarifies the Temporary Use and Outdoor Facilities allowed in the Industrial General (IG) <br />Districts <br /> Expands uses in the Commercial Regional Mall (C-RM) District stemming from a meeting with <br />the Bayfair Center owners to allow Bayfair to be on footing comparable to that of the north parcel <br />of the Kaiser project <br /> Raises the threshold for requiring formal parking exceptions to increase flexibility <br />Referring to the staff report, Planner Barros drew attention to some of the key changes: <br />Beer and Wine Stores: Amended to include accessory food sales <br />Brewpub: Added language to ensure consistency with federal as well as state law <br />Planner Barros pointed out that although the revision also limits brewing to 5,000 gallons annually, staff <br />now plans to omit reference to any specific volume to avoid discouraging a larger brewery from opening <br />a brewpub on their premises. Vice Chair Palma said other terms may be more appropriate than “brewpub” <br />in this context, including nano-breweries, micro-distilleries; she will provide Planner Barros with a list of <br />those terms. <br />Business and Trade Schools: Added university and college extension programs <br />Community Gardens: Removed extraneous definitions about kitchen gardens, etc., and added language to <br />ensure that this use would be well managed <br />Proposed Article 16 amendments include a new section on Community Gardens (4-1690), which contains <br />a list of requirements that range from maintaining a robust management plan to posting management <br />contact information on the site. <br />Dance Clubs: Responded to recommendations to focus on dancing as the primary use <br />Entertainment Activities: Tabled for further study except to require conditional use permits (CUPs) only: <br />For planned entertainment events (e.g., a show) rather than more spontaneous activities (e.g., strumming a <br />guitar at a restaurant) <br />After the sixth event in a calendar year (instead of the current maximum of three) <br />Fast Food Establishments: Revised to reflect recommendation that fast food establishment not be allowed <br />in the South Area 2 (SA-2) District, which is in close proximity to McKinley Elementary School
