Report
BACKGROUND
At the July 16, 2024 City Council meeting, the Zoning Map implementing the recently updated Zoning Code was adopted. This report deals with five errors in the adopted map that were discovered following adoption. The report includes an updated Zoning Map and associated resolution.

On July 16, 2024, the Council adopted a new Zoning Map, but took no action on parcels designated "PD," including this Project Site. At this time, the Parcels are proposed to be rezoned from their actual designation, ML - Light Industrial under the Classic Code, to HO-RD - High-Intensity Office/Research and Development, under the Updated Code, consistent with the site's General Plan land use designation; APNs: 104-04-150, 104-04-142, 104-04-143, 104-04-151, 104-04-112, 104-04-113, 104...
