Oakland

• CIX-1: Yes
• CIX-2: Yes
• IG: Yes
• IO: Yes
• CBD-C: Conditional
• CBD-X: Conditional
• CBD-R: No
• CBD-P: No

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. The zoning office told Juul that this is because some of the zones, including the M zones, haven't been updated since 1965.

The zone for the sudo room building is unfortunately CBD-P.
