CityCouncil | 2014-07-01 | 5 | Councilmember Tam inquired whether debt financing can be repaid, to which the Assistant City Manager responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Chen stated the impact fee for commercial is lower than residential to encourage commercial development for most of the City; inquired why the same concept is not applied to Alameda Point. Mr. Edison responded commercial fees do not pay for parks or residential uses; stated Alameda Point is a whole infrastructure program, the analysis was a fair share exercise. The City Manager stated the studies evaluate the program; residents use parks, commercial does not; Alameda Point is separate and any lease or sale revenue is required to go back to Alameda Point for 25 years; there are a different set of impacts. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the $24.2 million DIF listed under public safety is flexible enough to accommodate animal shelter impacts, to which Mr. Edison responded in the affirmative; stated the CIP could be updated every five years depending on the changing needs. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether there would be flexibility in the future to accommodate a Child Care Impact Fee at the Sports Complex, to which Mr. Edison responded in the affirmative; stated as long as the child care is use-related to the Sports Complex. Councilmember Daysog commented that workers may view the availability of child care as an economic development tool. Mr. Edison stated the child care element would be considered as part of a Recreation and Park facility. Stated a DIF increase could have a negative impact on the development plan; discussed the impact of the 30% increase on property values; urged delaying taking action: Brock de Lappe, Alameda Marina. Urged delaying taking action on the Alameda Point fees; stated that his residential development company did not have an opportunity to comment; suggested basing the fees on what the City wants to do in the next 30 to 40 years: Scott Roylance, William Lyon Homes. Stated the Building Industry Association only had a few weeks to review the fees and requests the matter be continued for one month: Lisa Vorderbrueggen, Building Industry Association. Mayor Gilmore inquired whether Ms. Vonderbrueggen is speaking from the perspective of home builders, to which Ms. Vonderbrueggen responded in the affirmative.
