Environmental analysis per <br />CEQA will be performed through this process. <br /> <br />Approximately 43 acres are zoned Commercial Office (CO) in the City. These areas are <br />clustered predominantly around Veterans Boulevard with one property along Woodside <br />and Bay Road. <br /> <br />According to state law and City ordinance, commercial cannabis businesses are <br />prohibited if located within 600 feet of a school, childcare center, youth center, public <br />park or library. The map in Figure 2 shows these protected uses and how they affect the <br />CO Zoning District. Only the purple properties along Veterans Boulevard, Convention <br />Way and Price Avenue are available once the protected uses are considered. If these <br />uses were to relocate or close, additional CO-zoned properties could become available. <br />The complete version of the map is available in Attachment 2. <br /> <br />FIGURE 2 – MAP OF AVAILABLE CO PROPERTIES <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />8.B. - Page 3
