Mayor Spencer left the dais at 12:23 a.m. and returned at 12:24 a.m. In response to Councilmember Daysog's inquiry, the City Planner stated the State density bonus law is structured so that it is the applicant's choice regarding the minimum inclusionary requirement; if the applicant wants a bonus or waiver, they could choose to give more affordable and in which category they want; in Alameda's case, the applicant chose to do very-low income which is a 20% bonus. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the City Planner stated the number of required parking spaces is based on the number of units; there are two parking spaces, plus six guest spaces, per unit. Mayor Spencer inquired whether resident's could use their two-car garage for storage if they only own one or no cars, to which the City Planner responded in the affirmative; stated the language as it is currently written allows using the garage for storage, but not for business offices or workshops, or living quarters. Outlined changes made to improve the project; discussed changes in development; urged approval of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R) requiring cars be parked in garages: Dorothy Freeman, Alameda. Discussed parking and urged CC&Rs included the parking requirement: Joseph Woodard, Alameda. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council September 1, 2015 | CityCouncil/2015-09-01.pdf |
