CityCouncil | 2009-10-20 | 22 | The Planning Services Manager gave a Power Point presentation. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether waiving development standards are done to make the project financially feasible. The Planning Services Manager responded financial feasibility is for concessions and incentives; stated waivers allow the project to be developed on the site; a waiver might be needed to get a reduction in a side yard setback. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether an applicant would need to come forward publicly with a pro forma, to which the Planning Services Manager responded in the affirmative. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether more information could be requested if there are questions. The Planning Services Manager responded in the affirmative; stated the City would need to prove the case if it seems that incentives or concessions are not necessary to make a project financially feasible. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether there is a defined process. The Planning Services Manager responded the process is similar to other development applications; stated staff would review the pro forma and evaluate whether the requested concession would be necessary to make the project financially feasible. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether there is a public appeal process. The City Attorney responded any discretionary decision on a development standard could be appealed to the Planning Board or Council; stated the provision is not in the proposed ordinance but is the general law of the City. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether there would be a noticing process. The City Attorney responded a noticing process has not been built into the proposed ordinance. Councilmember/Commissioner Matarrese stated concessions and waivers would not happen every day; inquired whether all applications for a density bonus or waiver would go to the Planning Board rather than Special Joint Meeting Alameda City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority, and Community Improvement Commission October 20, 2009 | CityCouncil/2009-10-20.pdf |
