Council directs study on rezoning North Adobe commercial area; coordination with 'the base' requested
Summary
Council asked staff to study potential rezoning or development‑code changes to allow light industrial uses in the North Adobe commercial area and to coordinate with the nearby base; no formal rezoning was adopted.
The City Council directed staff to study potential zoning changes for the North Adobe commercial area in the city’s north, asking staff to evaluate whether a general plan amendment and rezoning or a development‑code amendment would best allow light‑industrial uses such as self‑storage or vehicle storage.
Community Development staff told the council the area is currently zoned general commercial and that applicants have asked about uses that are not specifically allowed. Staff explained options: a general plan amendment and rezoning for targeted parcels, or a development code amendment to streamline allowable uses. Staff recommended studying the issue and coordinating with the nearby base on security and compatibility questions.
Public commenter Carlos Blandon asked who would benefit from a rezoning and urged council focus on resident needs. Blandon said that if the rezoning were intended to support a future city sewer treatment facility, he would support it because sewer capacity could enable growth beyond septic limits. Councilmembers expressed general support for a study but did not take a legislative action to change zoning at this meeting.
