CityCouncil | 2017-07-18 | 30 | Mayor Spencer inquired whether a new owner could choose not build maritime commercial. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the language is in the Master Plan. The Community Development Director stated the permitted uses are defined in the Amended Reuse Plan; other contemplated uses would need to return for another entitlement process. Mayor Spencer requested clarification on the word commercial in the language. The Community Development Director responded it means commercial manufacturing, not retail. Mayor Spencer inquired whether it is not commercial maritime. The Community Development Director responded it is broader than just maritime; manufacturing includes research and development and advanced manufacturing, which is permitted in the MX zoning. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Bay Ship & Yacht is proposing commercial maritime. The Community Development Director responded Bay Ship & Yacht is proposing a combination of uses. Mayor Spencer inquired whether protecting the maritime use is not being built into the proposal. The Community Development Director responded the use is a permitted use; stated a maritime business is proposing to purchase the property; the project addresses a lot of issues, such as jobs. Mayor Spencer stated the plan has many changes. The City Manager stated staff is being transparent about the agreement; cautioned the Council on being so restrictive regarding the types of uses, which would makes the project less financially viable for Bay Ship & Yacht; stated the economy, technology and what maritime is would all change over time. Mayor Spencer stated that the description staff used in the report is waterfront maritime commercial. The Community Development Director responded the term is general; stated the definition is in the proposed amendment to the Master Plan; the language will be in the Regular Meeting Alameda City Council July 18, 2017 | CityCouncil/2017-07-18.pdf |
