CityCouncil | 2018-03-06 | 21 | The Community Development Director responded staff has left the categories more broad to allow the raters to determine how many points should be awarded based on the proposals being evaluated. Mayor Spencer requested staff to address the speaker's concerns regarding not wanting to enter into a lease until the applicant knows their permit is going to be approved. The Community Development Director stated the City is not requiring that the applicant enter into a lease; the requirement is that the applicant can obtain a Letter of Intent to enter into a lease and the landlord will allow several months to secure entitlements and approvals before the lease is executed. Mayor Spencer inquired whether it is possible to get the arrest data broken down by sector. The Economic Development Manager responded the data is in Exhibit 2 of the staff report. Mayor Spencer inquired about local ownership and people that have been displaced as a result. The Economic Development Manager responded local ownership for people that have been displaced was not considered. Mayor Spencer inquired how it could be considered. The Community Development Director responded if Council would like to capture local ownership, staff could have applicants document that they had previously been a resident of Alameda and was forced to move because they were arrested for a cannabis related violation. Mayor Spencer inquired whether there can be a spot on the application where an applicant can provide the information. The Community Development Director responded if Council provides such direction, staff can do so. Vice Mayor Vella requested lists and examples for the point system; stated the interview process is important due to information that people do not want to put on an application; expressed concerns with how much weight the interview portion is being given and how few people are on the panel; stated the questions need to be provided in writing to the applicants who make it to the interview stage to allow them to prepare; examples need to be given of the contingent lease to show what will be acceptable; she would like five panelists, with someone from the Planning Board; she does not want the Police Chief Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 21 March 6, 2018 | CityCouncil/2018-03-06.pdf |
