CityCouncil | 2016-09-20 | 24 | Vice Mayor Matarrese inquired if staff will come back with a plan with all the input; stated other decisions can be driven by the RFQ process; items can be addressed when talking to the developer. The Base Reuse Director responded items can be made explicit in the RFQ. Councilmember Daysog stated the project needs to be thought through; the City needs to have a clear plan from the get go and to decide what kind of units are needed; he cannot support the project. The Base Reuse Director responded the intent of the plan is not to micromanage the uses; the zoning is very flexible; the plan is to weigh all the different tradeoffs. Councilmember Oddie stated he is not comfortable going from 300 to 425 units; he believes keeping 125 units in reserves is a good idea; he cannot support adding the 125 units; he only supports sticking with the 300 units. Mayor Spencer stated her concern is the City never seems to build work force housing; doing only luxury and very low housing does not address the people in the middle, who have serious housing needs. The Base Reuse Director stated staff would come back and show Council if work force housing can be afforded within the 233 or if extra is needed; the analysis will come back. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft questioned what is meant by work force housing. Councilmember Daysog stated work force housing for purposes of the Alameda County Housing Bond Program that Council supported is above moderate income which is 120 to 150% of the median. The Base Reuse Director responded the wording can be in the staff report when staff comes back with the RFQ. (16-474) Presentation on the Emergency Operations Center and Training Update.
