CityCouncil | 2009-12-02 | 9 | Chair Johnson inquired when Catellus would have a good sense of whether Target wants to come to Alameda. Mr. Whiskeman stated Catellus has a good sense that Target wants to come to Alameda now; it is the beginning of a long processi Catellus will work towards needed approvals to meet the projected opening date. Chair Johnson inquired what is the opening date. Mr. Whiskeman responded the date is in flex right now, but is before December 2012. Commissioner deHaan stated when Catellus was bought out, it was six to eight months before decisions were made about the company continuing to do development ; in the past, not too many acres were going to be given to Target; the staff report indicates Target would now have 10 acres and be sprawling; inquired whether Catellus is contemplating selling off that much property. Mr. Whiskeman stated the project would be one of Target's smaller stores and would be around 130,000 square feet. Commissioner deHaan inquired how much parking would be required, to which Mr. Whiskeman responded right now the project includes the City maximum of 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet. In response to Commissioner deHaan's inquiry, Mr. Whiskeman stated Target prefers to be part of a shopping center, but does do stand alone stores; noted guidelines setting maintenance standards would be recorded against the property. Commissioner deHaan inquired whether Catellus anticipates developing the shoreline. Mr. Whiskeman responded Catellus has an interest; stated there are restrictions; the largest available land use is commercial/office amenities will be out near the waterfront; other land uses are being considered, such as senior housing. Commissioner deHaan inquired whether longer-term leases could be done to span the time.
