CityCouncil | 2014-07-01 | 12 | In response to Councilmember Daysog's inquiry, the City Planner stated the Enterprise District is not subject to the plan; Council already approved a Master Infrastructure Plan (MIP) for the whole base; the Plan supports the MIP. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point added the plan also implements zoning and creates two sub-districts that need greater attention with more specific detail; the plan finishes entitlements for the district; the Enterprise District is more commercial and not required to have the same level of detail in the plan. Councilmember Chen inquired whether there are any plans to reserve DIF for wetland creation. The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded in the affirmative, stated the DIF has $79 million allocated for parks and open space at Alameda Point; the Recreation and Park Commission did not recommend any changes to the Plan. Stated that she is excited about the Plan, but concerned the wetland space will not come to fruition; suggested including a timeline and osprey nest: Leora Feeney, Alameda. *** (14-292) Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft moved approval of considering the Report on the Initiative Measure [paragraph no. 14-294], the Fiscal Responsibility Measure [paragraph no. 14-295 and the Resolution establishing Integrated Waste Collection Ceiling Rates [paragraph no. 14-296 after 10:30 p.m. Councilmember Chen seconded the motion, which carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Chen, Daysog, Ezzy Ashcraft and Mayor Gilmore - 4. Noes: Councilmember Tam - 1. *** Expressed concern over retaining Building 25 while setting a goal to remove pavement: Richard Bangert, Alameda. In response to Mayor Gilmore inquiry regarding removing pavement, Mr. Bangert stated staff has to be committed to look into methods, costs and funding; a Wetland Mitigation Bank could be created for Alameda Point which would give value to the land; credits from the bank could be sold to developers to mitigate development. Mayor Gilmore stated there are other projects in the Plan, such as a Sports Complex; inquired about prioritization. Mr. Bangert responded staff should have a public workshop to discuss priorities; stated there is a big difference between construction of a Sports Complex versus removing pavement.
