East 10 Street South Area Interim Urgency Ordinance and Development Strategy December 17, 2001 Page 3 of 7 Area Redevelopment Advisory Committee, the Planning Commission, the Board of Zoning Adjustments, as well as local homeowner associations and the Business Association of South San Leandro. This public outreach process would provide the basis for reaching community consensus on development concepts and implementation strategies. Ultimately, the draft Strategy would be presented to the City Council/Redevelopment Agency for adoption. • The estimated timeline for this study is presented in the Attachment 1: Conceptual Work Program. The goal is to complete the study within one year. Interim Ordinance • The proposed Interim Urgency Ordinance would give staff additional discretionary review over the project area during the time that the Development Strategy is being prepared. Once the Strategy is adopted, the Urgency Ordinance would become null and void. Government Code Section 65858 provides for adoption (by four -fifths vote) of an interim urgency ordinance for a period of 45 days. The City Council may also extend the interim ordinance (by four -fifths vote) for a maximum period of 22 months and 15 days through a noticed public hearing. In the past, the City Council has enacted three interim ordinances for moratoriums on check cashing/advance paycheck businesses, cigarette stores, and large homes and additions in the Bay-O-Vista area. The public hearing for an extension of this urgency interim ordinance would be tentatively scheduled for a City Council meeting in January 2002. A time frame of one year would allow staff to complete any zoning code amendments anticipated to be part of the Strategy's recommendations and have them reviewed and adopted by the City Council. Staff is recommending that the ordinance be applicable to business licenses and development proposals within the East 14th Street South Area that: ➢ involve a change in use including, but not limited to, substitution of one permitted use with another permitted use in the applicable zoning district; or ➢ do not meet parking requirements as defined in the Zoning Code; or ➢ intensify existing uses that may result in increases in noise, traffic, number of employees, or other similar impacts; or ➢ establish, increase, or change business hours beyond the period of 7 am to 10 pm. Staff recommends that this discretionary review include any pending development applications and zoning permits. Staff further recommends that applications that have already received entitlement, but may not be under operation, be exempt from the ordinance.
