CityCouncil | 2017-06-20 | 15 | Vice Mayor Vella inquired how many properties in Alameda could add 1,200 square feet and still have 60% of permeable space. The Planning Services Manager responded based on County data, approximately 15% of the lots, or 1,700 Citywide. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the amount is without reviewing the amount of permeable surfaces, to which the Planning Services Manager responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer stated her preference would be to limit the square footage to 600 and require a design review for projects above 600 square feet to allow for public input. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated there is a housing crisis in Alameda; the addition of ADUs will increase housing supply and allow for affordable units. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved introduction of the ordinance amending the Alameda Municipal Code by amending regulations pertaining to Second Units/Accessory Dwelling Units, and related regulations, for compliance with State law. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the motion includes staff and Vice Mayor Vella's amendments, to which Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion. Under discussed, the Planning Services Manager read the amendment proposed by Vice Mayor Vella into the record to clarify that the aggregate lot coverage applies to attached ADUs; stated the change would be to page 7, Subsection C Development Standards, #3 Attached Accessory Dwelling Units to add a new Subsection C Aggregate Lot Coverage as follows: "The aggregate lot coverage of all building footprints in non-permeable surfaces on the lot, shall not exceed 60%. Councilmember Matarrese proposed an amendment to the motion to have a lower threshold in which design review and neighborhood notification would be triggered. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she respectfully declines the amendment to Regular Meeting Alameda City Council June 20, 2017 | CityCouncil/2017-06-20.pdf |
