File Number: 16-335 <br />Proposed Zoning Map Amendments <br />The proposed Zoning Map amendments implement the General Plan Update 2035 Land Use <br />Map to establish a new Industrial Transition land use designation and to modify the Downtown <br />Transit Oriented Development and the Downtown Mixed Use land use designations. To <br />facilitate the viewing of these changes, staff has highlighted the following areas, each with its <br />corresponding map area attached to this staff report. A map of the entire city showing where <br />these districts are located is also attached to the staff report. <br />Industrial Transition <br />Westgate is the shopping center located on Davis Street, west of the I-880 freeway. <br />The proposal would modify the zoning for the Westgate Shopping Center from Industrial Park <br />with a Planned Development overlay (IP-PD) to Industrial Transition with a Planned <br />Development Overlay (IT-PD.) The Westgate shopping center was created in the 1980s with <br />approval of a Planned Development to convert an existing industrial use to a mixed use <br />consisting of industrial uses and commercial uses including offices, big box retail and other <br />retail. The PD overlay sets specific zoning for the site. The proposed change does not alter <br />the PD approval but rather will inform any future PD modifications or new proposals for <br />businesses which uses are not specifically regulated by the uses allowed in the Westgate PD. <br />The IT zoning is more reflective of the existing uses at Westgate. <br />IP to IT: The change in underlying zoning will no longer allow hazardous materials and <br />regulate uses such as Parcel Processing. More uses will be allowed such as Assembly Uses <br />and Entertainment with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP); Commercial Recreation, Cultural <br />Institutions, General Industry, Neighborhood Markets and Theaters with an Administrative <br />Review (AR); and will allow outright (P) Food Processing, Restaurants and Retail Sales. <br />Marina West properties are located north and south of Marina Boulevard between Menlo <br />Street to the west and Merced Street to the east. Existing industrial uses include warehouse, <br />light and heavy manufacturing, including the newly vacant Georgia Pacific Gypsum plant, <br />public storage, and some limited commercial uses such as small restaurants. <br />The proposal would modify the zoning from either IP Industrial Park or IG Industrial General to <br />IT Industrial Transition. This recommendation acknowledges the potential for changes in use <br />of properties on Marina Boulevard between the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center and the <br />proposed Shoreline development project. Note that the area also includes certain properties <br />at the corner of Merced Street and Marina Boulevard that are proposed to be rezoned to CC <br />Commercial Community to conform to the General Plan 2035 Land Use Map designation of <br />General Commercial. <br />IG to IT: The proposed zone change will no longer allow trucking terminals and hazardous <br />materials and will regulate uses such as Recycling with a CUP and Industry General and <br />Parcel Processing with an AR. Additional uses will be allowed such as Assembly Uses and <br />Entertainment with a CUP; Commercial Recreation, Cultural Institutions, Neighborhood <br />Markets and Theaters with an Administrative Review (AR); and will allow outright (P) Food <br />Processing, Restaurants and Retail Sales. <br />Page 7 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/28/2016
