PUBLIC HEARING
16. 31-57 South B Street – Consider a Zoning Reclassification Request Principal Planner Julia Klein provided a presentation on the project and request for zoning reclassification from C1-2/R5 to Central Business District (CBD). She reviewed the Planning Commission action. The applicant, Harvest Properties, presented an overview of the proposed project. Council asked questions of staff and the applicant.
Public comment – Richard Reisman, Marcus & Millichap, stated the site is not appropriate for 10 residential units and supported rezoning to CBD. Tyson Mao, Wursthall restaurant across from the project, supported the rezoning to CBD and would provide a robust office culture near transit. Cameron Palmer noted it is a key corner in downtown and one of the first sites you experience coming from the downtown Caltrain station and that rezoning seems in alignment with downtown specific plan.
Council discussion ensued and comments included support for changing the zoning, it would fit in with the surrounding area and is well justified as with CBD zoning the community receives more and cost and quality of housing in this limited site, other public amenities to consider including a public restroom, perhaps some of the funding should go to the affordable housing fund to be used elsewhere in the city, the need to look at downtown holistically and this zoning change would give enhancement to the downtown’s daytime users.
Motion to introduce an Ordinance to approve a Zoning Reclassification for the property at 31-57 South B Street from "Neighborhood Commercial/Residential Overlay - Mixed Use" to "Central Business District" and determine the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. Motion passed 4-0.
Moved: Goethals, Seconded: Lee
Ayes: Papan, Lee, Goethals and Rodriguez
