492 Mr . Robert Costello , attorney for Lockheed Missiles & Space Company , stated that the proposed structure is approximately J400 x 200 feet outside dimensions , interior dimensions approximately 80 , 000 cubic feet with a height of the salt pile . This requested rezoning would be an extension of the existing General Industrial zone in the area . He also stated that there would be no special or hazardous or undesirable processes used on the site and there would be no discharge of any by-products or pollutants into either the atmosphere or the water or the surrounding land . There will be no explosives or flammable material . The principal activity would be fabrication of metal in connection with research and development of ocean- related products . There will be no adverse ecological or environmental effects from the proposed use . Mayor Bury questioned Staff relative to changing zoning from Tidal Plain to General Industrial to accommodate this unique use as opposed to changing Tidal Plain to incorporate this kind of activity . He questioned opening up the whole area to the variety of uses permitted in General Industrial . Planning Director replied that no consideration was given to changing Tidal Plain to allow any kind of manufacturing . Recognition was given to the fact that once the zone is changed , whatever that zone allows would be allowed regardless of what the original intention might have been . The Commission also considered which zoning would be most appropriate and where the most appropriate location would be for General Industrial within the City . These same kinds of uses are allowed in the General Industrial District along Harbor Boulevard and in the Port . Commission concluded that this was a proper place for activities allowed in the General Industrial District . Mayor Bury indicated he was concerned with conditional uses as opposed to permitted uses . He would want record to indicate that there is a difference between those uses and that the permitted uses would be broad enough to accomodate this proposal . Conditional uses are broader than he would want them to be without knowing more about the project than is known . Record should show it is not the intention to open it up . Planning Director stated that as it was represented to the Commission , the proposed use would not require a use permit . The conditional uses would require a use permit and there would be opportunity to test the appropriateness of the uses at the time of application for a Use Permit . Public Hearing was closed on motion by Councilman Petersen , seconded by Councilman Keckley , and carried .
