CityCouncil | 2011-01-18 | 5 | Councilmember Johnson stated service clubs such as the Rotary and Kiwanis should be included. The Acting City Manager stated staff is discussing whether or not to bring the entire response back to Council on February 15th, two weeks before the response is due which would allow the response to be viewed by others. Acting Mayor Bonta inquired whether adjacent areas would be appropriate for office, laboratory, and business space. The Acting City Manager responded in the affirmative; stated LBNL wants to ensure an adequate buffer from residential neighborhoods; the yellow and red areas are more contaminated and would not be zoned residential; mixed use might be a possibility. Acting Mayor Bonta inquired whether quantifying possible financial benefits would be possible. The Acting City Manager responded not now; stated technology transfer studies could be reviewed; the City could contract with a firm to calculate the impacts; staff could perform some calculations but would not be comfortable in estimating future land value. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the RFQ dovetails with the going forward process. The Acting City Manager responded in the affirmative; stated LBNL wants to see a commitment to a plan that would create a mixed-use environment; having the City keep up with LBNL's planning process is important to ensure that LBNL would not be stuck by themselves; the timeline is coming together. Councilmember deHaan stated the RFQ is a golden opportunity; community support is needed. Speaker: Kathy Moehring, West Alameda Business Association. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS None.
