zoning district). The areas affected throughout the City are one acre parcels in the Central Business District (CB), the Neighborhood Commercial (CG) zoning district, General Commercial (CG) zoning district in the vicinity of Route 101 and General Commercial - Combining Residential (CG -R) zoning district. The second urgency interim ordinance proposes a restriction on all development on all parcels in the Bair Island Road Study Area. The restriction affects four different districts, the General Commercial, Industrial Restricted, General Industrial and a Tidal Plain district. It does not include the General Commercial with a Residential Overlay. The issues for this area are essentially that it is a cul -de -sac with one access in and one out. Community Development Services Director Nelson further stated that citywide, the ordinance does not affect Commercial and Industrial properties less than one acre in size in the CG, CG -R, CB and CN zoning districts. Additionally, Commercial and Industrial properties in all other commercial and industrial zoning districts regardless of size are not affected. Next steps were described as notice of a Public Hearing to all affected property owners to be held before 45 days or approximately August 28, 2000 and preparation of interim development standards for the CG, CG -R, CB and CN zoning districts in the form of amendments to the text of the Zoning Ordinance. Amendments to the Zoning Map and General Plan could be prepared incrementally. For the second ordinance for Bair Island Road, a Specific Plan is recommended. In general, about 100 parcels are impacted by the two interim urgency ordinances and maps were shown to delineate the areas. The recommendations establish a pause on office development on one acre parcels in 4 of the City's 14 commercial districts and on all development in the Bair Island Road Study Area. City Attorney Schricker explained recent revisions to the proposed ordinance (attachment 414) relating to the CG, CG -R, CB and CN zones. Under Section 2 — Prohibited Acts — to assure no misunderstanding when referring to office development, included in the term of construction or development reads, ...expansion of existing office buildings, conversion of existing buildings to office use, or occupancy of vacant buildings for office use, irrespective of the kind or nature of office use proposed... The additional terms are used to assure no misunderstandings to the application of the ordinance regarding any pending or future applications for development. Similarly, on the determination of size, July 1, 2000 is a cutoff date for determining size, but determination needed to be not only by sub - divided parcels, but by any conveyance prior to that time. The prohibition in determining size would relate not only to subdividing parcels after that date, but aggregating parcels or conveyances after July 1, 2000 of smaller parcels to attain the one -acre size.
