Accept the staff recommendation including the last paragraph in the letter from Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia, dated April 23, 2019, as follows: (1) direct that the City continue to move forward with its previous direction to develop an ordinance to phase out existing operations, and (2) clarify that even after the zoning change, there needs to be further review of the City's permit records before making a final determination that the existing coal/coke facility is a 'legal non-conforming use'
