411 lighting , and storm drains . It was noted the one-foot non-access strips would be removed only after the street was made public and improvements were carried out . Mayor Keckley invited further comment from the applicant . Mr . William Tuck, 10 California Street , Redwood City , responded in place of Mr . Herbert Green , who represented Fireside Thrift Company, owners of the property . He advised Council that the Coca Cola Company was no longer going through with the purchase of the property due to the soils report . Mr . Tuck asked that Council approve the zoning change even though Fireside Thrift didn ' t have any buyers at the present , they would in the future . After some discussion on whether or not to continue with the rezoning considera- tion, under the circumstances the feeling was if the land was proper for an " IR" zoning then it would be reasonable to continue on with the proceeding , that this zoning would not be inconsistent with the pattern of the area . It was noted the E . I . R . was broad enough to cover both the rezoning and architectural aspects of the Zoning Ordinance . City Manager commented in response to question that by virtue of previous and separate actions of the City Council it was Staff ' s intent , unless Council changed the instructions , to pursue the installa- tion of the required improvements by virtue of the old agreement . In answer to concern whether the Soils Report would be made available to the City, it was noted it would be available if a building permit was applied for , however , the owners could not be compelled to give over the information . It was brought to Council ' s attention that Coca Cola ' s intent was still to re- locate in the City of Redwood City , that the combination of development cost and land acquisition totaled more than Coca Cola had originally figured in their realm of develop- ment cost . Discussion ensued regarding the one parcel being left " TP" ( Tidal Plain ) and whether this would force rezoning this parcel . Council was made aware that it would not be abnormal for the Planning Commission in a situation like this , presuming this rezoning was approved , to at some point initiate an action to clean up the zoning in the area as a whole , but that it was not in- cumbent upon either the Commission or the Council to initiate that procedure either now or at any other time . It was agreed that the City would not be risking anything if this rezoning proceeded and that City would still have the one-foot non-access strip around the periphery of the property . There being no further oral discussion , Councilman Weymouth moved to close the public hearing , seconded by Councilman Williams and carried . Councilman Weymouth moved to introduce ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 60 . 22 . 3 to ORDINANCE NO . 1130 , THE REDWOOD CITY ZONING ORDINANCE , REZONING PROPERTY IN THE VICINITY OF BAIR ISLAND ROAD, seconded by Councilman Leipzig . 6/4/73 Reg .
