BOWMAN: Question what’s the zoning in the pink? <br />WATANABE: Mr. Darrow. <br />DARROW: The light pink zoning is Commercial Neighborhood. The darker maroon <br />is General Commercial. <br />BOWMAN: So Commercial Neighborhood? <br />DARROW: Correct. <br />WATANABE: Would not preclude a 7-Eleven. <br />BOWMAN: It would not. What about Village Commercial? <br />WATANABE: I don’t believe so. <br />BOWMAN: Is there any, I guess what I’m asking, is there any Commercial zoning that <br />would preclude a high traffic venture there? <br />WATANABE: Mr. Director? Off the top of my head I don’t think so because <br />Commercial implies heavier traffic. But I’ll defer to the Director for this. <br />YUEN: Well, there is a zoning called RCX that doesn’t allow some of the range of <br />Commercial zoning. Unfortunately I believe RCX doesn’t allow offices and I’m not sure why <br />that’s the case. That’s what it says. <br />BOWMAN: What does it allow? I don’t mean to be nitpicky. I feel for the applicant <br />but I think, again, this is pretty precedent setting and, yeah -. <br />YUEN: I don’t know if you want me to actually get the list of uses. An RCX is <br />more restrictive than a regular Commercial zone. I’m sure that gas stations for example are not <br />allowed in an RCX but it does, there are some things in there that can have a fair amount of <br />traffic generation. <br />WATANABE: Okay, may I make a suggestion then. Even though I know there are some <br />of us who would prefer to see any limitations on zonings be handled through the General Plan, <br />why don’t I ask Ms. Siracusa to propose a motion and let’s see where we can go with that. But <br />that said, I think she kind of did suggest one and was looking to you, Mr. Yuen, to see if you had <br />any wording for the limited scope of development. Do you -? <br />YUEN: I can word the motion but I think that we ought to ask the applicant <br />whether that kind of restriction is something that she would want to move ahead with because <br />there’s no point in rezoning the property to something that the applicant doesn’t want. If you <br />want the wording it would be something like, if it’s meant to restrict it to something like the <br />physical structure it would be to say that the use of the property should be limited to the existing <br />home or similar replacement structure. But that’s a restriction that physically tends to limit very <br />much what you can do on the property because there are only a few things that you can actually <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />20 <br /> <br />
