MAYOR BURROLA Mayor Burrola asked about the outcome of the workshops that were held to discuss the matter, to which Director Simpson stated that it was recommended for building heights to be a maximum of 60 teet, and residents were very interested in creating a buffer zone between industrial buildings and residential neighborhoods.
Responding to a question by Mayor Burrola, Director Simpson advised that the update originally would have allowed administrative review and approval for projects up to 25,000 square feet in size, though that was later reduced to 15% or a maximum of 15,000 square feet.
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda stated that the residents wish to allow maximum building heights of 60 feet and that the Council should have final authority on all development projects. She also suggested that a butter between industrial bulldings and residential units be increased from 250 feet.
