CityCouncil | 2010-07-07 | 8 | Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Gilmore stated the section of Oakland right out side the tube would be flooded with traffic; the City needs to work with Oakland to mitigate the issue. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Matarrese stated that he has been asking for the commercial transportation plan since the PDC; the pro forma should be run with a reduced number of units; the commercial aspect is absolutely critical. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Tam inquired whether there is an estimate or assumption about what portion of the Alameda Point residents would work at the 9,000 replacement jobs at Alameda Point. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Matarrese stated an estimate has not been done since there is no commercial plan; that he has not seen a reliable number; tax increment is not reliable; keeping the public subsidy as a constant is optimistic on the City's part. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated the tax increment needs to be addressed; inquired how the difference would be made up if the State keeps taking more and more away. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services responded staff could run some sensitivity at different levels of public subsidy to see the impact on financial feasibility and bring that to Council at the July 20th meeting. Vice Mayor/Board Member/Commissioner deHaan concurred with Councilmember/ Board Member/Commissioner Matarrese about the commercial and light industry not being identified or analyzed in the pro forma, which is a very substantial void; stated the City should look at the Harbor Bay model and where the marketplace is right now. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services stated there is no market plan or business plan to really understand the strategy for attracting businesses. Vice Mayor/Board Member/Commissioner deHaan inquired whether some information could be obtained by July 20th The Deputy City Manager - Development Services responded staff would be meeting with SunCal tomorrow and would check on the status of said issue, and also address the school issue, which Mayor/Chair Johnson mentioned; stated the project can be described and falls into the "transit town center" concept of moderate land use densities and a clustering around transit. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Matarrese requested examples of other transit town centers in the Bay area that are comparable.
