Councilmember deHaan stated that he is comfortable with the design; the design addresses some of the AAPS's concerns and project continuity; he appreciates that time was taken to review the design. Vice Mayor Gilmore stated that she is particularly pleased with the parking garage the staff and Architect did an excellent job of following Council direction; thanked AAPS for input; stated the parking garage is an excellent design. Mayor Johnson stated that she appreciates the staff's and Architect's work; improvements are outstanding; the project should move forward. Councilmember deHaan stated he is concerned with the 70-foot - high parking structure, which would be even with the marquee; stated Mariner Square's new boat storage facility is 50-feet tall; Alameda Point Hangers 41 and 39 are 45-feet tall; massing is a concern. Councilmember Daysog stated that he voted against the matter several months ago on very narrow grounds, which still stand; he is concerned that the City is not getting the best business deal out of the project; the rent on the historic theater amounts to 30 cents per square foot when the market rate is around $1.50 to $1.80 Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 4 November 1, 2005 | CityCouncil/2005-11-01.pdf |
