Stated the project has been long awaited; there is constant reference to the General Plan; however, 414 units are being proposed, which doubles the 200 units in the General Plan Housing Element; the Planning Board minutes have not been approved; other development projects should be factored in: Councilmember Elect Frank Matarrese, Alameda. Discussed the change from unbundled to bundled parking; stated the total units being planned throughout the City would add at least 3,000 cars and impacts will be felt: Paul Foreman, Alameda. Stated lack of clear responses lead to the creation of PLAN Alameda; the majority of the neighbors are excited to see the project proceed; however, the project needs to be considered on a whole with the other projects; community comprehension is needed: Heather Little, Alameda. Stated the neighborhood has spent months studying the parking and fought hard to get bundled parking; that she shares Councilmember Daysog's concerns about the TDM; too much is trying to be accomplished and pinned on the Del Monte; the study should have neighborhood input; rather than a penalty, the impacts should be monitored: Alison Greene, PLAN!
