CityCouncil | 2014-12-02 | 18 | Del Monte is the third piece; an appraisal has been done on land that the City needs to acquire from Wind River; the next step would be to come to a mutual agreement on price; then, Tim Lewis Communities can purchase the land; the final piece is the Pennzoil property. In response to Councilmember Daysog's inquiry regarding why certain projects are not included in the cumulative impacts, the City Planner stated Table 16-2 of the Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration is just the Del Monte project; the document evaluated the Tim Lewis Communities plan to determine whether assumptions and uses for the Del Monte were different than what was assumed in 2008; the cumulative impacts would be found in the original document. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the 2008 full build out included Northern Waterfront and Alameda Point, to which the City Planner responded in the affirmative; stated every EIR looks at cumulative impacts. Mayor Gilmore noted Buildings B and C need to go through design review. In response to Mayor Gilmore's inquiry regarding the 55-foot height of structures, the City Planner stated the Master Plan sets a parameter and process for Buildings B and C; the buildings would be three stories, not five stories; the 55-foot height allows parking underneath the buildings and is not required. Mayor Gilmore inquired whether the height limit is part of the design review process, to which the City Planner responded in the affirmative; stated the Council can determine the height tonight, but the Planning Board wanted to make the decision in the future. Mayor Gilmore inquired what the transit options would be for a resident moving in on day one. The City Planner responded the transit options on day one would include AC transit passes, shuttle service directly from the site to BART, car share, and the bicycle kitchen. Mayor Gilmore requested information on the affordable housing component of the Del Monte project. The City Planner stated there are 24 moderate income units and 31 very-low and low income units on Pad B for a total of 55 affordable housing units; if the project is approved tonight, construction drawings and design on Pad B would begin in partnership with the Housing Authority (HA) so that the projects would be on the same construction schedule; the land and buildings would be permanently owned by the HA. In response to Mayor Gilmore's inquiry regarding parking, the City Planner stated the original plan was to divide spaces among separate users; the plan was simplified to make the most effective use of all 680 spaces; 414 spaces are designated to each of Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 17 December 2, 2014 | CityCouncil/2014-12-02.pdf |
