CityCouncil | 2016-09-20 | 21 | (16-473) Recommendation to Provide Direction on the Approach to Phasing and Disposition of Development in the Main Street Neighborhood (MSN) at Alameda Point, including Review of the Draft Phasing Chapter in the MSN Specific Plan. The Redevelopment Project Manager and Base Reuse Director gave a Power Point presentation. Urged Council to support the phasing plan; stated the plan will allow the Alameda Point Collaborative to move forward and put an end to homelessness: Doug Biggs, Alameda Point Collaborative. Stated that she supports the phasing plan because the space will provide jobs; Alameda Point is a jewel; encouraged Council to support the phasing plan and create more jobs at Alameda Point: Karen Bey, Alameda. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the 67 units are leveraging market rate housing or are the 67 units themselves the market rate housing. The Base Reuse Director responded the 67 units are part of the Collaborative project that will be very-low units; the market-rate development is financing the units' infrastructure; the adjacent units will not need to provide the low and very-low requirements; the plan is a combined project. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the 67 units are being leveraged to meet the low and very-low income requirements, to which the Base Reuse Director responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated the 25 moderate and 67 very-low income units make 92 out of 310 units affordable, which is about 30%; he would like any developments to reach the 30% mark for affordable housing; he would like a plan to auction the units off individually; the zoning requirement should be clear to provide a transition between the job generating area. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated there is a limit on how many houses can be built; inquired whether the 67 units are being subtracted from the total or if the units have to come out of some future development's allocation; inquired whose housing allocation the extra housing units would come from. The Base Reuse Director responded the City is not looking to change the housing cap, which is in the General Plan; stated the 67 units come out of the 425. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether another developer would be told the number of units remaining. The Base Reuse Director responded in the affirmative; stated there will be 125 housing units to build out the rest of the Main Street neighborhood.
