CityCouncil | 2010-07-27 | 34 | Councilmember Gilmore stated staff should take a reasonable amount of time; that she would like to see a full blown discussion on the full range of options and include the public; she has heard options that include a public land trust which seems to be diametrically opposed to things discussed tonight; that she does not want to give specific direction to start down one path and limit options. Vice Mayor deHaan stated the Preliminary Development Concept (PDC) and SunCal plans have had commonalities; the core is very common and could be developed; the marketplace should be reviewed. Councilmember Tam stated that her preference is to give direction on finding a funding stream and getting a project that is fundable as opposed to trying to decide the project direction. Vice Mayor deHaan stated funding streams are extremely important; developing large parcels could create funding streams; understanding the overall project is important. Councilmember Tam stated the City had a master developer, Alameda Point Community Partners, who lost financing; another developer has looked at a potential maximum build out of over 4,000 units; staff came back with negative rates of return; inquired whether Vice Mayor deHaan thinks there is some magic fundable project, to which Vice Mayor deHaan responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson stated Council couldn't provide specific direction tonight; options need to be reviewed; giving specific direction on component parts would be a mistake. The Interim City Manager inquired whether the direction is to include Council Referral items, but not limit the options, to which Mayor Johnson responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Matarrese stated staff should consider the items and come back in September or October. Vice Mayor deHaan stated that he does not see anything revolutionary in the Council Referral. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he wants the broadest possible point as long as the Council Referral items are included. Councilmember Gilmore stated nobody wants financial analysis; that she looks forward to staff's insight on the matter. Councilmember Gilmore moved approval of incorporating everything discussed.
