Oakland

• CIX-1: Yes
• CIX-2: Yes
• IG: Yes
• IO: Yes

Any zoning that allows the "Research and development" activity is ok. There are several other zonings that conditionally allow research and development, but it takes 2-4 months and (I think) $1000-$2000 dollars to get the permit. You'd have to begin renting the property immediately.

Though it seems odd. The M-20, M-30 and M-40 zones are no good for us. This means the areas around Linden st. Brewery (3rd and Linden) are no go.
