was picking up something and it wasn’t a situation that they were, you know, trying to use the area for the, what we’ll call a baseyard use. ALAMEDA: Mr. Director? YUEN: Yeah, could I just jump in with -. ALAMEDA: Sure. YUEN: With some clarification of permitted uses on the site. The CN rezone would permit a number of things, including office use, including retail establishments. And there’s quite a range of things that will be permitted. It would not allow a commercial parking lot and garage. And it would not permit, there are other similar kinds of uses. The word, the exact term for a bus baseyard is not in the Zoning Code. Another close thing is transportation terminals. So you can’t, you can have vehicles that are, you can park vehicles that are accessory to a permitted use. For example, if you had a retail establishment you could have a delivery van or you could have a truck which you use to pick up things from the dock to bring to your store. But say you had an office or a trucking company in a CN zone, you couldn’t park all the trucks for the trucking company in the parking lot. A CN zone, the purpose of, it’s useful sometimes to look at the purposes, besides the permitted uses. But it’s commercial activities which shall be such a size and shape as will accommodate a compact shopping center which supplies goods and services to a residential or working population for a frequent need or convenience basis. This district is distinguished from a central commercial district which provides general business and broad services to a city or a region. So the actual, you know, a baseyard for parking buses, a trucking parking area, is potentially a CV zone, potentially a CG, potentially a, but best actually, best is in an ML zone. And they do have a parking area or they do have a baseyard area on Silva Street on an ML zone. Now that being said, we had a discussion, and I think Mr. Lim understands that, and that they would be parking the buses elsewhere.But then we had a discussion about the fact that they live on the property and they have vans that they also registered. And why don’t you talk about that for minute. ALAMEDA: Mr. Lim? LIM: Right now when you go to the property you will see two, I think they’re 10- or 12-passenger vans. They’re like, you know, like one of those white vans that you see out here, the delivery vans.And those are owned one by Dien Nekoba and one by Cindy Nekoba, her daughter. So they use those for personal, you know, go to the store and those types of things; and then part-time they use those for passenger vans for the tours if they’re needed. The most, I guess the biggest, the largest bulk of their business comes in off of that mini bus that they have now stored down at Silva Street. There’s, I think, five of them at the present time.
