paid parking.

Base Reuse Director responded in the affirmative.

matter; there is a time element associated with this item as well as a cost element
associated; stated that the City asking WETA for money is significant.

In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the Assistant Community Development Director
stated the thought is more lanes would not be needed because it is a cul-de-sac.
Councilmember Matarrese requested clarification about the proposed amendment
language, to which the Assistant Community Development Director stated the text will
be additional.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired how long the parcel is.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded fifteen hundred feet.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired how many blocks that would be, to which the Assistant
Community Development Director responded three to four blocks.
Mike O'Hara, Tim Lewis Communities (TLC), gave a Power Point presentation.
Mayor Spencer inquired about having two-lanes each way.
Mr. O'Hara responded that he agrees with the Assistant Community Development
Director's comments; less lanes can increase safety; the plan is sufficient for
automobiles; he would not want to support four lanes.
Mayor Spencer inquired why the project should be considered when another project
involving TLC has stalled.
Mr. O'Hara responded the current item creates a plan upon which future buildings and
development plans will be placed; stated a number of things have affected the ability to
complete the other project.
Mayor Spencer inquired if Tidelands would be considered for overflow parking.
Mr. O'Hara responded each podium building would set aside public parking; using
Tidelands could be considered pending any conflict with City's long-term plans.
In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, Mr. O'Hara stated that TLC like to be partners
with the City on the Tidelands.
Councilmember Matarrese requested clarification on the use of Tidelands property as a
parking lot for residents of the development.
Mr. O'Hara responded that his understanding is Tidelands would be used for public
overflow parking; stated that he does not want to conflict with any of the City's long-term
plans; he is willing to work with the City on short-term needs.

Carpenters.
Expressed concern over the project not being ready; suggested it be sent back to the
Planning Board: Vince Sugrue, Sheet Metal Workers' Local 104 and Building Trades

Guerra, TLC.
In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry regarding labor agreements, Ms.
Guerra stated the project was approved by right prior to Senate Bill 35; there is not a
labor agreement, which could be addressed in lease discussions.
Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired about the result of efforts to reach union
agreements, if any.
Ms. Guerra responded that no agreement exists but multiple conversations have
occurred; the project is ultimately a residential, mixed-use project.
In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's request for confirmation of there being
no labor agreement in place, Ms. Guerra stated there have been discussions; without a
lease document in place, no agreement can be made; TLC is open to a labor
agreement.
Mayor Spencer stated that she would like to continue with the additional public
speakers.
Stated the City has backed itself into a corner; the road should be aligned with the

Discussed a collapse at the Brooklyn Basin project; urged Council to vote no until the
developer comes back with a labor agreement: David Ross, Alameda.
Mayor Spencer inquired if there is a way to ensure the safety of the 589 units.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded that he does not believe the
City has the discretion to impose said stipulation on private land; if the City were to
impose the safety stipulation on private land and it causes a financial infeasibility for the
developer, the City could potentially be in conflict.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired about the road design and egress.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded the reasoning behind the
design is for both access and safety.
Vice Mayor Vella stated that she is concerned about how the traffic would interact with
pedestrians and cyclists; requested information on the Cross Alameda Trail (CAT) and

CityCouncil,2018-09-04,12,"The Assistant Community Development Director responded the Cross Alameda Trail
runs from Alameda Point to the Fruitvale Bridge; stated the Clement Avenue extension
runs through the Del Monte development project; there will be a separated cycle track,
with a signalized crossing at Clement Avenue for Encinal Terminals.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired about trash pickup and other related items for the project site.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded said items will happen off of
the road; stated the main road depicted for discussion is the central access point.
In response to Vice Mayor Vella's inquiry about the proposed amendments and if
language could be included to require a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with the
Building Construction Trades Council of Alameda County, the Assistant Community
Development Director stated TLC has nine to ten years left on its lease and will not
want to invest; a reference could be added to the agreement; the amendment's purpose
is not to pre-determine, but to lay out, the requirements the City Council will be looking
for when lease amendments are brought forward.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired if the proposed amendment would apply to future land
exchanges or swaps.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded if TLC, or any other future
owner of the land, wants to come forward and discuss the terms, negotiation would
begin again.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the proposed amendment would apply to a future
Council, to which the Assistant Community Development Director responded it could.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired if language could be added to the proposed amendment
clarifying that Council does not want Tidelands land to be used for one big parking lot.

CityCouncil,2018-09-04,13,"The Assistant Community Development Director responded that he does not know the
exact figure, but knows it is wide enough for fire and garbage trucks to be able to make
the turn.
The Interim City Manager requested confirmation whether the 62 feet is unobstructed
from curb to curb or if it includes delineation for bike lanes.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded there would be delineators
for bike lanes; stated the amendment the Planning Board recommended includes a 62
foot public right of way that has not been designed yet; the concept includes one car
lane in either direction, bike lanes, and a sidewalk on either side to give pedestrians,
bicyclists, and cars access.
Councilmember Matarrese requested the Council deliberation be without deliberation
between City Manager and City Staff.
The Interim City Manager stated that he is asking questions to help Council sort out the
access-ways or minimum standards, which are all exceeded by the Fire Code.
Mayor Spencer stated that she appreciates the Interim City Manager's input; requested
confirmation from remaining Councilmembers if the Interim City Manager could
continue.
Councilmembers Oddie and Vella expressed support.
The Interim City Manager stated that he only wanted to clarify.
Mayor Spencer inquired whether the street widths are wide enough to accommodate
boat towing.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded the streets would
accommodate Fire vehicles equipped with extending stabilizing arms; stated the street
would absolutely accommodate boat towing; there are many subsequent approvals; the
main purpose of the amendment is for Council to decide whether or not to move the
street to the center.
In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry if the matter will come back to Council once
approved, the Assistant Community Development Director responded the sub-division
map will come back and establish the right of way.
Councilmember Oddie inquired the City's discretion related to the health and safety of
structures while being built; referenced Mr. Ross's public comment regarding Brooklyn
Basin.
The Assistant City Attorney responded the health and safety impacts have to be based
on objective written standards that are in effect at the time that the project application is

Alameda City Council

CityCouncil,2018-09-04,14,"deemed complete.
Councilmember Oddie inquired whether someone would need enough skills to build and
certify the project.
The Assistant City Attorney responded that she does not think the City would not have
said objective standards in effect at the time the application was deemed complete.
Councilmember Oddie stated the Site A project has a lot of infrastructure and a PLA,
but was able to close the deal, having 25% affordable housing versus 15%; stated the
arguments being made for Encinal Terminals project stipulations do not hold a lot of
water with him when Alameda Point was able to accomplish more with more challenges.
The Assistant Community Development Director stated the difference between the
proposed project and Site A is that the City owned the land being transferred, rather
than a private property owner who wants to develop its land based off the City's zoning
requirements.
Councilmember Oddie requested clarification on the comments made related to housing
constraints.
The Assistant Community Development Director stated a financial constraint can make
the project infeasible.
Mayor Spencer inquired about the possibility of sending the matter back to the Planning
Board to review the street width.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded sending the item back to
the Planning Board is an option, but the specific request being made would be reviewed
at the City staff level; stated the question to Council is whether there should be four or
two lanes; the wider road, makes less land available for residential, resulting in taller
buildings.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired if the road areas near the Tidelands can be made larger.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded the final decision about the
width of the road can be through the subdivision map.
Mayor Spencer inquired about the possibility of sending the item back to the Planning
Board to review of safety.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded it is possible; stated
another option would be to have the Council specify items for sub-division map
approval.
Mayor Spencer requested confirmation that a decision does not need to be made and

CityCouncil,2018-09-04,15,"the item can come back to the Council after the Planning Board.
The Assistant Community Development Director confirmed doing so is possible.
Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired about the width of the roads for Alameda
Marina, to which the Assistant Community Development Director responded two lanes.
Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired if the roads are wider than 64 feet.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded that he cannot recall; stated
they are very similar; the designs are built for trucks.
Vice Mayor Vella stated Alameda Marina has more access points than Encinal
Terminals.
Mayor Spencer moved approval of sending the matter back to the Planning Board to
address issues enumerated for the safety of residents and people driving on the roads.
Vice Mayor Vella seconded the motion.
Under discussion, Councilmember Matarrese stated the Council is two steps ahead of
the decision on street widths; the proposed street meets the minimum width
requirements; the street could be wider, but said decision would be made when the site
plan comes forward; the Council has not decided whether or not to support a spine road
as recommended by Planning Board; the first order of business is to make a decision
about the spine road; the second order of business would be to review the amendment,
making stronger, binding language that ties the Tidelands activity to Fortman Marina;
incentive should be included in the form of a true mixed-use project, not a residential
project, in order to move the project forward; he is amenable to accepting the plan set
forth.
Mayor Spencer stated in all fairness to the developer, the difference between Site A and
this project is that the Site A developer did not have to buy the land like this developer.
Councilmember Matarrese stated Site A has a negative value of $1 million per acre,
with $88 million of needed infrastructure extending past Site A; comparison us unfair.
Councilmember Oddie clarified the Site A developer did buy the land and was offered
infrastructure credits.
Vice Mayor Vella stated there is a great need for housing; inquired how the City could
ensure housing would actually be built.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded it is very, very hard for the
City to ensure that housing gets built since the City is not funding any portion of the
project; private investors are funding the project; the best way to try to increase the

as many public benefits as possible without over-burdening the project so that private
investment becomes hard; only private investors can guarantee that the housing portion
of the project would move forward; the amendments and Master Plan show the City
wants the project to move forward and wants private investors to invest in infrastructure
because the Tidelands land is not as useful to the City unless they do; the amendments
clarify the objective of Phase 1 including the Tidelands; Fortman Way is integrated with
the project; there are no barriers between the two districts.
Councilmember Matarrese indicated that he would like to make a motion.
Mayor Spencer stated there is already a motion on the table.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired if the Planning Board has considered potential issues with the
road and how it might interact with the broader plan.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded whether to move the road
to the center was the main issue discussed at the Planning Board; staff recommended
moving the road to the middle.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the Council could conditionally approve the plan.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded in the negative; stated the
Master Plan cannot be conditionally approved; the last four pages of the Master Plan
contain descriptions of approvals that required before the Developer can pull a building
permit.
Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated if the Council votes no, nothing will be built;
sending the item back to the Planning Board would only be a delay tactic; she is in favor
of PLAs but recognizes that both parties must work together in good faith; she is
concerned if further delays are created, nothing will be built.
Councilmember Oddie inquired how long the delay would be if the item is sent back to
the Planning Board then returns to Council for approval.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded the item could return back
to Council by November.
Councilmember Oddie inquired if there would be any legal implications in delaying
approval.
The City Attorney responded it is impossible to confirm; stated the City does not want to
encourage legal action; without further work on the actual design and layout, there is
little the Planning Board can review and does begin to look like a delay of the project;
urged caution in requesting further Planning Board review.

time was needed to address the project; the details of the design are important and
should be provided to the Council for consideration; she prefers to have the Planning
Board review the issues of street width, safety and overall design of the road.
Councilmember Matarrese stated the Council's task is approving the Master Plan;
details and requirements follow once the Master Plan is approved; he is not in favor of
sending the item back to the Planning Board; he supports sending the amendment
language back to City Staff so that the first phase requirements for the developer to
work with the City are truly binding.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired which amendment provision should be altered.
Councilmember Matarrese responded page 67, Phasing Requirements.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether Councilmember Matarrese has specific desired
language, to which Councilmember Matarrese responded in the negative; stated that he
would like staff to come up with language for Council to review.
Vice Mayor Vella stated that she would like to add: ""Project Labor Agreement with the
Building Trades Council of Alameda County"" on page 65; changes have been made to
previous projects; she would like language in the agreement that allows Council to
make changes.
Councilmember Oddie concurred with Vice Mayor Vella's comments; stated card check
neutrality should be explicit along with building trades; inquired whether Councilmember
Matarrese has general language or direction to provide.
Councilmember Matarrese responded the first phase should require the road and
working with the City on the development of the Tidelands in conjunction with Fortman
Marina.
Vice Mayor Vella inquired if the Tidelands lease also ties in with Fortman Marina.
Councilmember Matarrese responded in the affirmative.
Councilmember Oddie inquired if the language would be strengthened by changing the
adjectives to verbs to read: ""coordinate and integrate maritime commercial use of the
Encinal Terminals and the adjacent Fortman Marina Tidelands;' requested confirmation
that there is nothing the Council can do once the Master Plan is approved.
The Assistant Community Development Director responded the intent is to solidify that
the City will not approve any infrastructure plans until it is known that the Council
requests have been coordinated and that the City has two Tidelands sites: Encinal and
Fortman that can be used in a coordinated fashion.

Mayor Spencer inquired how the City could ensure that public common areas would be
maintained.
The Planning Services Manager responded the Municipal Code includes maintenance
requirements for new developments that include landscaping or open space.
Mayor Spencer inquired if additional language can be included to ensure that areas are
maintained properly, to which the Planning Services Manager responded in the
affirmative.
In response to Councilmember Oddie's concern about language related to affordable
housing balcony requirements, the Planning Services Manager stated a previous
Housing Authority project review lead to the discovery of inadequacies in the current
ordinance.
Councilmember Oddie stated language restricting personal outdoor open space for
affordable housing does not seem equitable.
Mayor Spencer concurred with Councilmember Oddie; stated community open space
areas should be well maintained if private open space is no longer available.
The Planning Services Manager stated a previous Housing Authority project was able to
have 58 balconies and patios, balanced with a community room, a playground plus
other common amenities.
Vice Mayor Vella stated it seems like a question of enforcement; the question is what
happens when landscape maintenance or access to open space is not adequate;
inquired whether the issue could be raised with the Housing Authority with a way for the
City to follow up if issues continue.

landscape maintenance agreements that are guaranteed by bonds for some projects.

landlords to pay relocation fees not being more important than the needs of the tenant;
the landlord community is putting together an assistance fund that perhaps smaller

Council should be informed with broader information; some statistics are good, but he
would like to see the information coupled with Business License annual reporting.
Councilmember Oddie inquired if any cases are handled outside the RRAC.
The Assistant City Attorney responded part of the process is to have staff trained in
mediation; stated landlords and tenants participate in mediation facilitated by staff that
will sometimes result in a case being settled prior to the RRAC meeting.
Councilmember Oddie inquired how many mediations occur and if outside parties
facilitate mediation.
The Assistant City Attorney responded there are not outside mediations; stated RRAC
meetings are typically broken up into two pieces: first is mediation, and the second is a
quasi-judiciary hearing where the RRAC hears testimony and makes a
recommendation; the landlord and the tenant are encouraged to engage in mediation
before the process begins to facilitate an agreement.
Councilmember Oddie inquired if the number of mediations is known.
The Assistant City Attorney responded the number was reported in the data.
Councilmember Oddie inquired how many cases do not come to the RRAC because the
City never receives notice.
The Assistant City Attorney responded notice if filed for mediation that does happen;
stated the ability to resolve the matter with a court action goes to a full hearing.
Councilmember Oddie inquired if said instance occurs with or without a notice.
The Community Development Director responded under the ordinance the landlord is
required to notify the Housing Authority if the rent increase is higher than 5%; the
Housing Authority received 188 notices of rent increases above 5%, and of those, 62%,
or 85 cases, were settled with the assistance of staff.

noting the actual relocation expenses versus the relocation assistance funds provided to

and would like to again renew her call to get rid of the RRAC altogether; resources can
