<br />grow cannabis or any other federally-controlled substances. Such use may not keep bees or
<br />any other animals unless allowed by Chapter 4-11 of the San Leandro Municipal Code.
<br />The full set of regulations for management of Community Gardens is found on pages 68-70 of
<br />the attached Ordinance, Exhibit G Proposed Amended Article 16. These regulations cover a
<br />range, including: identification of a responsible party for the Community Garden, management
<br />of chemicals and other gardening products and equipment, deliveries, height of planting in the
<br />required setbacks, and compost and structure placement.
<br />Staff proposes that Community Gardens should be allowed through an Administrative Review
<br />(AR) process in the SA-1, SA-2, SA-3, CN, CC, CR, C-RM, NA-1, NA-2, DA-1, DA-2, DA-3,
<br />DA-4, DA-5, DA-6, IL, IG, IP, IL(AU), IG(AU), and IP(AU) Districts. Staff proposes that
<br />Community Gardens should be Not Permitted (-) in the CS, P, and PHD Districts. Staff
<br />received recommendations at the January 30 worksession to allow Community Gardens in
<br />Residential Districts with an Administrative Review (AR), which has been incorporated in the
<br />attached Ordinance.
<br />Dance Clubs
<br />Staff seeks to modernize and clarify the title of this definition . Staff’s proposed amendment
<br />would effectively narrow the scope of the activity to establishments that operate primarily as
<br />dance clubs rather than the current broad definition that links any dancing activities to other
<br />established uses where alcohol is sold, such as a restaurant or bar.
<br />Staff proposes that the Zoning Code’s definition for Dance Hall should be changed to “Dance
<br />Club” for clarity. Staff proposes a new definition for Dance Club as follows :
<br />Dance Club Hall. Any establishment where the primary use is a person or persons dance and where
<br />either: (i) such persons pay admission to each dance except where admission charges are to be used
<br />for charitable, eleemosynary, educational, religious, or social groups which do not include the
<br />distribution of profits to the sponsors or members thereof .; or (ii) such place is connected to a place
<br />where alcoholic beverages are sold. This definition includes, but is not limited to, any business
<br />establishment identified in San Leandro Municipal Code Section 4-4-100. See “Entertainment” for
<br />dancing at establishments other than dance halls.
<br />Dance Clubs are currently allowed with a Conditional Use Permit (UP) in the SA-1, SA-3, and
<br />CC Districts. Staff proposes that Dance Clubs should be allowed through a Conditional Use
<br />Permit (UP) in the DA-1, IL, IG, IP, IL(AU), IG(AU), and IP(AU) Districts. Staff recommends
<br />that Dance Clubs should be Not Permitted (-) in the SA-2, CN, CS, CR, P, PHD, NA-1, NA-2,
<br />DA-2, DA-3, DA-4, DA-5, and DA-6 Districts.
<br />Electronic Cigarette-related products
<br />Staff proposes to add a new definition in the Zoning Code for electronic cigarettes and their
<br />related products. This new definition will be listed along with other products specified in the
<br />definition for Tobacconist /Cigarette Store, which is a land use that is tightly restricted. The
<br />proposed change will assist staff’s interpretation of e -cigarettes and related product sales.
<br />Proposed new definition:
