could be a gourmet kind of establishment. Planner Barros confirmed that the beer-wine only is the primary use, with food as a possible accessory use, and that a more upscale shop with beer, wine and food could be a Neighborhood Specialty Market. In response to BZA Chair Mendieta, Planner Barros said that to her knowledge San Leandro has no stores that sell beer and wine only. She noted that the definition was created in 2004 during work on the East 14th Street South Area Development Strategy. Brewpub: In response to Vice Chair Palma, Planner Barros confirmed that the brewery, not the restaurant, would be producing beer. A question whether brewpubs could serve only beer produced onsite and whether the Zoning Code definition should reference the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau definition of a brewpub led Planner Barros to indicate further research to clarify the definition. Planner Barros explained that the definition in the proposal comes from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). Business & Trade Schools: Commissioner Rennie asked about the logic behind wanting these facilities downtown. Planner Barros said they would tend to draw people and high-tech and other industries have indicated they may want technical schools nearby. Vice Chair Palma suggested that the definition also could include universities, extension universities, etc. When Commissioner Fitzsimons asked whether this should come under the existing “Schools” definition, Planner Barros said “Schools, Public and Private” comprises K-12. Catering Services: Vice Chair Palma suggested including commissaries in the definition. Community Gardens: Planner Barros described this as a whole new concept for San Leandro, whereby community gardens (subject to Administrative Review) would provide amenities for local residents and businesses as well as employees whose jobs bring them to San Leandro. It is proposed for all zoning districts except for CS, P and PHD Districts. She said it would be helpful to hear Commissioners’ and BZA Members’ thoughts on allowing Community Gardens in residential districts with Administrative Review. Commissioner Fitzsimons said the reading is hard to follow. For instance, he said that the staff report section includes a sentence reading, “The use includes, but is not limited to, home, kitchen and roof gardens.” This suggests that kitchen gardens could in the future be defined as a Community Garden. Kitchen and home gardens don’t sound like Community Gardens, he said, adding that the term Community Garden implies a vacant lot where people in the community get together and grow things. Commissioner Fitzsimons noted that Community Gardens are defined as “non-commercial,” but elsewhere in the proposed Community Garden definition says that “sales . . . of fresh food and horticultural products grown on-site are permitted” in all districts, while also allowed in residential districts “where the primary ingredients are grown and produced on-site.” In addition to noting that the definition should be consistent in both places, Commissioner Fitzsimons asked whether sales are or are not allowed, and if so, recommended clarification of the circumstances. Other questions he raised concerned: • Whether Administrative Review would be used to approve Community Gardens in residential districts. • The need for clarity about responsibilities, including liability issues, dispute management, garden maintenance, etc. • Whether a Community Garden would involve multiple people independently growing things on parts of a piece of land, or whether one person would operate it.
