CityCouncil | 2018-07-10 | 25 | both the Tidelands area as well as the non-Tidelands area; some historical buildings on Clement Avenue are in the commercial core; there has been a lot of talk about makerspace and artist studios; an artist studio probably is not going work in the Tidelands area based on Tidelands restrictions. Councilmember Matarrese stated the public open space west of Building 19 seems to be out of place with the boat launch and Harbor Master areas, as well as the commercial maritime activity in Building 19; the open space is 1,900 square feet. The Assistant Community Development Director stated the heavy commercial area is to the east of Building 19; there is a green area between the parking lot, Harbor Master and back side of Building 19 right on the Bay Trail; the piece was leftover, but could be part of the commercial maritime core area. Councilmember Matarrese stated having the area be part of the commercial maritime core area is appropriate. Mayor Spencer requested staff to show the area; inquired whether Councilmember Matarrese is proposing the open space be removed. Councilmember Matarrese responded in the affirmative; stated the open space should be moved somewhere else because it is right in the commercial core, next to the water and service building. The Assistant Community Development Director reviewed the area. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Councilmember Matarrese is requesting to add more commercial square footage in the area instead of the green space, to which Councilmember Matarrese responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the Bay Trail goes along the area, to which the Assistant Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether commercial would be right up against the Bay Trail. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the idea is to make the area part of the commercial/boatyard; the Bay Trail runs by the dry boat storage and could run past a small maritime area; boatyard areas need yard space. Councilmember Matarrese stated workers need to lay out masts and look at rigging; inquired about the square are next to Building 19 on page 32. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the square is Building C, which does not exist; stated the boatyard operator might not want a building there. Councilmember Matarrese stated the Council can discuss the issue when the boatyard Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 17 July 10, 2018 | CityCouncil/2018-07-10.pdf |
