CityCouncil | 2006-10-17 | 9 | residential units; stated the City accepts applications and regulates development ; the proposed development is not a City project he is inclined to deny the request for a General Plan Amendment because the General Plan Amendment preserves the chance to have an Estuary Park and indicates that there are approximately three sites that would allow up to 300 dwelling units. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of denying the request for the General Plan Amendment. Vice Mayor Gilmore seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Councilmember Matarrese stated R-4 zoning is too high; the zoning should be R-2 to match what exists in the area; the level of development [R-2] also matches the intent of the General Plan to spread [units] across the three parcels. Mayor Johnson inquired whether there was a motion on the zoning. Vice Mayor Gilmore inquired how many dwelling units there would be if the 4.8 acres were rezoned to R-2 and 600 square feet was considered for open space, to which the Supervising Planner responded 80 to 100 units. Councilmember deHaan inquired what is a comparable project, to which the Supervising Planner responded the Marina Cove Project. Mayor Johnson inquired whether there is a comparable open space project. The Supervising Planner stated that the Marina Cove Project is not a good example because of the private open space yards within each unit and the Project has a 1.5-acre park. Councilmember Daysog stated numbers need to be nailed down; the 4.81 acres equals 3.84 acres when streets and sidewalks, etc. are extracted; 3.84 acres translates to 167,618 square feet; 167,618 square feet divided by 2,000 is 83 units; 83 units divided by the gross acres equals 17 units per acre. The Supervising Planner stated his previous number [80 to 100 units) is wrong; the high end would be closer to 83 units the low end would be lower than 83 units. Vice Mayor Gilmore stated she is more interested in the high end, and that is the number she wants nailed down. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 9 October 17, 2006 | CityCouncil/2006-10-17.pdf |
