CityCouncil | 2017-06-20 | 12 | The Planning Services Manager responded only if the primary dwelling does not have any specific architectural style. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry about changing the language, the Planning Services Manager stated the proposed language is from the design review manual; staff tried not to use new words; the word compliment is already in the language. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the Bay Farm Island housing subject to Covenants Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) would also be subject to the requirements. The Planning Services Manager responded the Bay Farm Island homes are also subject to State Law. Stated State law prohibits making the ADU affordable; a full design review with public input is important: David Baker, Alameda. Stated historical value is lost by adding something that was not there originally; requested if the home is on the Historic Building Study List, contemporary compatible is an acceptable design guideline: Alan Teague, Alameda. Urged the Council to make ADUs as feasible as possible to build; urged Council not to make requirements that would eliminate prefab construction: Alexandra Saikley, Alameda. Expressed concern with adding housing to a historic city; stated the addition of ADUs will result in the loss of parking and green space: Doree Miles, Alameda Architectural Preservation Society (AAPS). Expressed support for the AAPS recommendations: Erich Stiger, Alameda. Expressed concern about the language; stated limiting the size will be a safe way to preserve the integrity of the town: Alice Chen, Alameda. Expressed support for the full 1,200 square feet being made available for second units; stated increasing density will encourage people to get out of cars: Angela Hockabout, Alameda Home Team. Showed a diagram of a 1,200 square foot ADU; stated limiting the size of an ADU to 600 square foot is reasonable; the proposed language is very subjective: Christopher Buckley, AAPS. Urged design review be retained: Pat Lamborn, Alameda. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's request for clarification on the proposed Regular Meeting Alameda City Council June 20, 2017 | CityCouncil/2017-06-20.pdf |
