WHEREAS, an application (PA 92-050) was submitted requesting a
zone change from the M-1, Light Industrial District to the C-O,
Administrative Office District, for the parcel located at 6300-6370
Village Parkway (APN 941-1401-8); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Department evaluated eight contiguous
parcels, including the subject site (APN 941-1401-8, 9, 10, 16, 17,

Boulevard, and the gas station parcel located at 6602 Village Parkway
(APN 941-1401-19) all zoned M-1, Light Industrial District and found
that the primary use for the eight parcels is office, with one parcel
operating as a research and development facility, and that the gas
station parcel zoning is inconsistent with the General Plan land use
designation for the site, which is Retail/Office; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance does not permit office use as a
primary use within the M-1, Light Industrial District; and
WHEREAS, on August 17, 1992, the Planning Commission approved a
zone change initiation for the eight contiguous parcels from the M-1,
Light Industrial District to the C-O, Administrative Office District,
and for the one gas station parcel from the M-1, Light Industrial
District to the C-2, General Commercial District, to allow the
continued operation of existing primary office uses and to maintain
consistency with adjacent downtown commercial uses and zoning
designations, and the General Plan land use designations for the
parcels; and
WHEREAS, a draft ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance to
change the zoning designation of the subject parcels from the M-1,
Light Industrial District to the C-2, General Commercial District and
the C-O, Administrative Office District in the vicinity of Clark
Avenue and Village Parkway has been prepared; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
State CEQA Guidelines and City Environmental Guidelines require that
certain projects be reviewed for environmental impacts and that
environmental documents be prepared; and

property owners of the National Food Laboratory parcel (941-1401-12)
submitted a letter dated October 13, 1992, objecting to the proposed
rezoning of the subject property; and
