Special Needs-Special Services Resource Fair (Commissioner Krongold):
Secretary Akil informed the CDI that an off-agenda memo was sent to the City Council
regarding the Special Needs-Special Services Resource Fair and a letter was sent to the Mayor
requesting a fee-waiver for use of the D'Club.
Commissioner Krongold asked what is the process for approval of the fee waiver to which
Secretary Akil stated the Mayor will respond to the request via letter and suggested that Chair
Lord-Hausman follow up with the Mayor's Secretary.
Commissioner Krongold distributed the draft registration form and letter which will be mailed
to the list of participants proposed by the CDI. The CDI made some minor changes to the draft
documents. Secretary Akil agreed to place the City Seal on the letter and provide copying and
distribution services for the CDI. The actual mailing will be done by the CDI and workgroup.
Commissioner Berger discussed some accessibility and shuttle concerns regarding the O'Club
site at Alameda Point. She stated that all shuttle services should be available at both the east

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS/NON-AGENDA ITEMS
1.
Commissioner Berger informed the CDI that her term is expiring on June 30th and that she
will not renew. She suggested that the CDI could go back to meeting at 6:30 P.M. and that
the CDI should also consider a name change to Commission on Accessibility Issues.
Commissioner Krongold responded that the word disability should stay in the name.
Secretary Akil stated that the Bylaws reference the word disability throughout that document
which would require review if the Commission name was changed.
Chair Lord-Hausman stated that she met an able-bodied individual who was not comfortable
with the word disability because she was not disabled and the term makes her think that she
would not be qualified to apply for the Commission. Chair Lord-Hausman requested that this
item be placed on the next agenda for discussion.
2.
Chair Lord-Hausman stated that she did not attend the PAPCO meeting.
3.
Chair Lord-Hausman asked if the CDI should invite Art Kurrasch, Chair of the Housing
Commission to a CDI meeting to discuss ways the CDI and Housing Commission could work

8-B. Zoning Amendment - PLN08-0491 - 550 Park Street. The applicant requests
rezoning the property to permit a 24-foot maximum building height, with a 10-foot
front yard setback and a 40-foot year yard setback for the second story. The
current Zoning standard requires a 20-foot front yard setback and a 15-foot
maximum building height. The Planning Board will be making a recommendation
to the City Council on the proposed rezoning. (DB)
The applicant is requesting a continuance of this item to a future meeting
date. The item will be re-noticed.
8-C. Technical Amendments to the Community Improvement Plans for the
Business and Waterfront Improvement Project and the West End
Community Improvement Project - Applicant - City of Alameda. The City of
Alameda Planning Board will consider the recommendations of the Community
Improvement Commission and Economic Development Committee to amend the
Community Improvement Plans for the Business and Waterfront Improvement
Project (BWIP) and West End Community Improvement Project (WECIP). The
adopted 2003 fifth and fourth amendments to the BWIP and WECIP plans,
respectively, merged the BWIP and WECIP areas and their required tax
increment dollar limit, plus created the Exchange Area. The Exchange Area,
previously a part of the Alameda Point Improvement Area, was added to BWIP
in the fifth amendment. The proposed ninth and seventh amendments to the
BWIP and WECIP plans, respectively, will clarify that the tax increment dollar
limit, which applies to all plans and amendments adopted prior to January 1,
1994, is applicable to the original BWIP and WECIP areas but not to the
Exchange Area. (JJ-DSD)
Board member Cunningham moved/Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the

REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS:
Page 2 of 10",PlanningBoard/2009-04-27.pdf
PlanningBoard,2009-04-27,3,"8-A.
Bay Friendly Landscaping Ordinance - Applicant - City of Alameda. The
Planning Board will consider a proposed Alameda Municipal Code amendment
related to creation of a Civic Bay Friendly Landscaping Ordinance requiring
sustainable landscaping practices for City and public-private partnership projects
or renovations that equal or exceed $100,000 in construction costs. (DV).
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft voiced concerns that the proposed ordinance is not
tailored to the needs of the island community and requested an amendment to the
ordinance. The amendment is at the end of the paragraph at Section 30-60.1: and to
incorporate green infrastructure technologies wherever possible including, but not
limited to green grids, street edge alternatives and green alleys."" at the end of the
paragraph and to amend the definition session accordingly.
Board member Lynch asked for clarification why this ordinance is limited to city-owned
and public-private partnerships as opposed to all projects.
Staff explained that the City had taken the direction to first impose any 'green'
ordinances on itself first, to show leadership, and to then reach out to the larger
community and develop support for such ordinances.
Board member Lynch requested information on whether the threshold for projects that
trigger the ordinance ($100,000) would apply to cumulative project costs or per bid and
he requested an update on the efficiency of the ordinance in 12 months.
Staff explained that the ordinance makes provisions for projects under $100,000 that
the intent of the ordinance be met, while projects over $100,000 would definitely meet
the ordinance and agreed to bring this back for an ordinance review in twelve months.
Board member Cunningham asked whether this ordinance is only triggered by
landscaping projects or also through projects that come in as building permits. He also
asked why the ordinance only required that an applicant attain of 60 points, as opposed
to requesting more points to improve the landscaping efficiency.
Staff clarified that the ordinance is only triggered through the landscaping permits
process and proposed to amend the ordinance as needed upon return in 12 months.
Board member Cook stated that the new ordinance should include language to help
clarify the minimum requirements. To this end, she added that on page 5, 30-60.3A '
all covered projects shall meet the most recent minimum Bay-friendly landscape points
and complete the nine required best practices' should be included in the ordinance
language.
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft moved as amended/Board member Lynch
seconded the approval of the ordinance. The motion passed 7-0.

Use Permit - PLN09-0054 - 2217 South Shore Center - Trader Joe's. The
applicant is requesting a use permit allowing deliveries to the store outside the
hours of 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. (LA)
President Kohlstrand clarified that the projects 9A and 9B would be renoticed and that
the Planning Board would not make a decision on these projects, but would take public
testimony on both items.
Staff presented information on both projects 9A and 9B.
Board member Cook asked how the present deliveries outside of the permitted hours of
deliveries were approved in the past.
Staff clarified that these deliveries outside of the permitted hours for Alameda Towne
Centre had not been approved and that all businesses had been placed on notice of the
violation and that they were instructed the required Use Permit.
Board member Autorino asked for clarification on the hours of operation for Trader Joe
and Big 5.
Board member Cook clarified that the hours of operation for Trader Joe are from 9 am
to 9 pm.
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft asked whether there was round-the-clock staff present at
both stores to receive the deliveries during the off hours.
D. Smith, Big 5 Sporting Goods, commented that their store had staff present to accept
deliveries during the non-business hours.
B. James, Assistant Manager Trader Joe's, spoke on behalf of the company and their
need to have extended hours. He stated that Trader Joe's staff had met with neighbors,
are aware of the neighbors' concerns about truck traffic, and that Trader Joe's had
reduced the extended hours request from 24/7 to one hour on either end of the
permitted business hours to meet the neighborhood's needs.
M. O'Malley, Sales Captain Trader Joe's, also spoke on behalf of the company and
staff's continued effort to balance the store's needs and ensure workers' safety, while
respecting neighbors' noise concerns by quickly offloading any deliveries.
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft asked whether the proposed extended hours would
accommodate the business needs.
M. O'Malley affirmed that small extra window of an hour on either end of the business
hours, would allow the store to function.
Board member Cunningham asked if added staffing in the morning would be feasible.
Page 4 of 10",PlanningBoard/2009-04-27.pdf
PlanningBoard,2009-04-27,5,"M. O'Malley stated that they had already increased staffing for the morning shifts, but
that from a business standpoint, it would not be feasible to add additional staff for the 2
hour window in which off-loading and restocking occurs.
C. Healey commented that the businesses should move the delivery hours to the
normal business hours to lessen the impact of trucks in the residential areas and that
they should flex their staffing needs accordingly.
M. Radding, representing Alameda Neighbors United, distributed letters from neighbors
against the truck traffic and described the negative impacts of truck traffic. He
commented that truck traffic should be limited to normal business hours to reduce noise
and improve quality of life for the residents of Alameda.
H. Sellers stated that the truck survey conducted by the Alameda ATC security
company was misleading, as the survey was started after the holiday season, when
truck traffic is naturally lower. She also pointed out that the Alameda Police Department
has been unable to enforce the current truck traffic limitations and allowing the
proposed Use Permits would make it more difficult to ensure compliance. She
presented a video depicting the truck traffic on the non-truck-route portion of Otis Drive.
D. Radding, also representing Alameda Neighbors United, read sample quotes from the
submitted letters and requested that the Planning Board deny the Use Permits.
M. Corbitt, Alameda Towne Centre General Manager, spoke about the business'
economic viability that would be impacted by a restrictive delivery policy and the efforts
that have been undertaken to address neighbors' concerns.
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft asked for clarification on the construction occurring in the
alley way between Applebee's and Trader Joe's.
M. Corbitt clarified the scope of work and timeline.
President Kohlstrand closed the public comment portion.
Board member Autorino asked how the trucks are scheduled for delivery and asked
whether Big 5 would be able to deliver at a later time.
B. James explained that they have pushed back the delivery time from 3 am to 7 pm,
but that it significantly impacts the truck drivers' time lines as they conduct linked
deliveries across California. They have asked for this Use Permit, as the City has
placed them on notice.
Page 5 of 10",PlanningBoard/2009-04-27.pdf
PlanningBoard,2009-04-27,6,"Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft asked why two delivery days would be required, opposed
to only one day.
B. James answered that two week deliveries are extremely rare, but that in the process
of applying for this Use Permit, it was a prudent move on their part to ask for two days
just to be covered.
Board member McNamara discussed the early delivery hours for Trader Joe in the
earlier part of the year.
O'Malley explained this issue.
Board member Lynch asked whether the Use Permits coming before the Planning
Board were initiated by the Alameda Police Department or Code Enforcement.
Staff explained that the Use Permits are a result of enforcement action by Code
Enforcement.
President Kohlstrand closed the public comment period.
Board member Lynch discussed the difficulty of coordinating many different hours of
operation for the various stores and cautioned against a piecemeal approach.
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft recommended coming back to the next hearing with a
compromise between all those involved, that balances the needs of the neighborhood
with the traffic demand on the legally protected truck route, as well as maintaining the
economically viable center.
Board member Autorino stated that it appears that the enforcement of the hours of
operation and truck delivery could be improved on.
Board member Cook would like the discussion at the next Planning Board meeting to
focus on the enforcement of delivery hours of the center.
Board member McNamara asked what the enforcement process is through Code
Enforcement.
Staff explained the Code Enforcement citation process that would be leveraged upon
the property owners and/or the Use Permit holders.
President Kohlstrand summarized the discussion and asked that staff return with
information on which businesses really need the extended hours of operation, and
which can manage without the special accommodations.
Board member Cunningham requested that staff return with information which stores
are out of compliance what their reasons are for non-compliance.
Page 6 of 10",PlanningBoard/2009-04-27.pdf
PlanningBoard,2009-04-27,7,"Board member Lynch requested that staff return to the Planning Board with a legal
interpretation that relays which un-permitted truck activities can be considered through
code compliance and those under police compliance.
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft moved/seconded by Board member McNamara to
continue the item to an unspecified date. Motion passed 7-0.
9-B. Use Permit - PLN09-0073 - 325 Park Street - Big 5 Sporting Goods. The
applicant is requesting a use permit allowing deliveries to the store outside the
hours of 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. (LA)
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft moved/seconded by Board member Autorino to continue
the item to an unspecified date. Motion passed 7-0.
9-C. Planned Development Amendment, Major Design Review - PDA05-0004,
DR05-0073 and Tentative Parcel Map PLN08-0507 - 523 South Shore Center.
The applicant requests approval of the following entitlements: 1) A tentative parcel
map reconfiguring 4 existing parcels into 6 parcels (This will not result in an
increase in the size of the shopping center or in the intensity of use); and 2)
Planned Development Amendment and Major Design Review permitting the
continued phased redevelopment of the shopping center. The plans for this project
have been amended from earlier proposals that included an expansion to 706,650
square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) and most recently 681,000 square feet
of GLA. The current proposal includes up to 657,000 square feet of GLA. Current
plans include redevelopment of the southeast corner (shoreline area) of the site,
reconstruction of the existing buildings in the northwest corner of the property,
one new 1,700 square foot building adjacent to and west of T.J. Maxx, a
reduction in parking requirements, new pedestrian, bicycle and transit
improvements, and other minor site improvements. (DG).
Staff presented a powerpoint presentation on the project.
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft asked if a bike lane would run along Park Street between
Otis and Shoreline.
Staff responded that that was undetermined at this time.
Board member Cunningham asked for clarification on the pedestrian pathways
throughout the site.
Staff explained the planning process for widening the pathways throughout the site.
Board member Cook asked how the new resolution has incorporated all site and
proposal specific conditions of approval that have been adopted in the past.
Page 7 of 10",PlanningBoard/2009-04-27.pdf
PlanningBoard,2009-04-27,8,"Staff explained the development process of the new resolution.
President Kohlstrand opened the hearing for public comment.
P. Curtin, Harsh Investment Legal Counsel, requested a modification to condition # 18
that pertains to the widening of the sidewalk along Park Street. She stated that the
condition should not be imposed on the applicant, as the burden of proof has not been
provided that there is a nexus between the project before the Planning Board and the
condition as imposed. She also commented on the request as stated in the project that
more square footage be approved than is stated in the submitted master plan. The
intent is to streamline the development and entitlement process for any future
expansion, once the economy has stabilized.
H. Sellers commented that the staff report and the proposal do not contain sufficient
information to make a decision on this project, as a several information requests by the
Planning Board members had not been provided to this date, nor had all conditions
been completed as required in previous resolutions. She requested that the PDA
approval be put on hold, until all conditions of approval have been satisfied and until the
center is fully occupied and parking analysis is reevaluated.
K. Bay supports the planned development of the center, provided that the land use of
the waterfront be zoned and used for restaurant use only.
President Kohlstrand closed the public comment period.
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft asked Mr. Kite, Director Harsch Investment, what the
anticipated uses are for the area along South Shore Beach waterfront. Mr. Kite
explained that the proposed uses would be restaurants.
Board member Cook requested that the proposed uses would be included in the
resolution limiting the buildings 1800 A and B would be dedicated to beach and
recreation oriented businesses.
Board member Cunningham asked how landscaping, traffic, design layout and building
synergy would be impacted should the realigned parcels be sold off in the future.
Mr. Kite explained that the lot line adjustment is largely motivated by the financing
strategy that can be implemented once the process is complete.
Staff clarified that the existing access easements, planned development conditions and
use permits would stay with the land and would remain in effect, regardless of
ownership.
Board member Cook asked about the landscaping with palm trees along Otis. She also
asked whether the public and the planning board could still receive a comparison table
showing what was approved in 2003 versus what is to be approved in 2009.
Page 8 of 10",PlanningBoard/2009-04-27.pdf
PlanningBoard,2009-04-27,9,"Staff explained that the landscaping as approved in 2003 has been slightly changed by
excluding trees in the subsequent site layout.
President Kohlstrand temporarily closed the discussion session to continue to the next
agenda item 9D.
President Kohlstrand reopened the discussion on how the Planning Board should
address the discrepancy between the total square footage in the different submittals.
The Planning Board agreed that permitted uses for the waterfront buildings 1800 A&B
should be limited to sit-down restaurants and waterfront recreation, and conditionally
permit other uses, excluding drive-through facilities.
The Planning Board agreed that the site design for buildings 1800 A& B needs to be
waterfront- and pedestrian-oriented, with a clear connection to the shopping center
through a pedestrian promenade. The design review of any new or rehabilitated
waterfront buildings in Phase Il shall be brought to the Planning Board for review.
Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft moved/ Board member Lynch seconded to continue the
meeting and discussion of 9-C past 11:30 pm. Motion passed 7-0.
The Planning Board members came to the conclusion that the landscaping and parking
configuration in the center is agreeable.
The Planning Board discussed whether the sidewalk along Park Street between
Shoreline Drive and Otis should be widened from three feet to five feet upon Alameda
Towne Centre. They concluded that the nexus was given between widening the
sidewalk and the development of the site.
Board member Autorino motioned/ Board member Cunningham seconded the motion to
approve the resolution for the Planned Development Amendment as amended. Motion
passed 6-1-0.
Board member Cook was concerned that the increase in square footage in the center
decreased the possibility to include more pedestrian and bike access routes.
Board member Cunningham moved/seconded by Vice-President Ezzy Ashcraft to
approve the Tentative Tract map. Motion passed 7-0.
9-D. Consideration of a Zoning Overlay District - PLN08-0194 - Limiting the
Size of Two-Story Residential Buildings - Applicant - City of Alameda. The
Planning Board will conduct a hearing to consider proposed limitations on height
and size of two-story residential buildings and new design standards for
