CityCouncil | 2017-07-18 | 16 | Mayor Spencer inquired whether the City has not been enforcing the condition. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the operator already owned an offsite lot, yet cars were still parking on the streets because of the convenience. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the current operators are the ones who have violated the UP and whose tenancy will expire at the end of the month, to which the Assistant Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the UP runs with the land, not with the tenant, to which the City Attorney responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether there is a way to enforce the conditions with the new owner. The Assistant Community Development Director responded in the affirmative; stated staff can enforce that the tenant has a signed lease; staff ensuring that the tenant does not park on the streets in the neighborhood is difficult to enforce. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the Harbor Bay Hotel is similar and how will said situation be enforced. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the hotel has valet service and a no parking zone; stated parking in the area will result in being towed; there are times where a shared parking agreement works and times when it does not; it is not working in this case; for the last year, the tenant has owned another site and is still parking cars in the surrounding neighborhood. Mayor Spencer inquired who owns the current site, to which the Assistant Community Development Director responded the current operators. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the new owners could offer a valet service similar to what is being offered at the Harbor Bay Hotel. The Assistant Community Development Director responded Council could consider the idea. Mayor Spencer inquired whether staff can obtain a copy of the notice to the Appellant. The Assistant Community Development Director responded that the notice states: "you were caught parking on the streets; that is a violation of Condition 3," the notice should have stated Condition 2; the notice was after three public hearings stating the exact same violation; the Appellant is stating there was not due process because of the typographical error. Mayor Spencer stated the violations occurred against the tenant, not the owner. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council July 18, 2017 | CityCouncil/2017-07-18.pdf |
