REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS (21-072) Recommendation to Review, Comment, and Provide Direction on the City's General Plan 2021 to 2031 Housing Element Update Process and Schedule and Authorize Staff to Request Updated Guidance from the State of California regarding Compliance with Applicable Housing Law. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director gave a Power Point presentation. Councilmember Herrera Spencer requested clarification on the total number of Alameda Point's affordable housing units. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director stated the Navy cap is 1,425 market rate units; for every 3 market rate units, one affordable housing unit is built, which changes the cap to around 1,800 units total; market rate and affordable units are being built today at Alameda Point; staff believes by the end of 2022, roughly 450 units will be built at Site A leaving roughly 1,350 units; everything possible must be done to ensure 1,400 units are built during the next 10 years. Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether the amount is more than originally thought. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded staff originally thought the cap was at 1,425 total units; stated staff plans to recommend amending or removing the local cap of 1,425 units. Councilmember Knox White inquired whether the City can get to 5,400 units at 30 units per acre and whether certain locations will have 90 to 120 units per acre instead. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded multi-family overlay is being proposed on Park Street; staff does not believe many units can be generated on Park Street due to limited space; 30 units per acre will not get the City to 5,400 units; outlined smaller, upcoming, approved projects which have not moved forward due to low density; stated a higher density will likely be needed in some areas for projects to be financially viable; some two story mixed use projects have 80 units per acre; the numbers do not relate to height; once the multi-family overlay is crafted, the amount of units will be higher than 30 units per acre in many cases. Councilmember Knox White stated that he assumes multi-family overlays will be over large swaths of residential areas; inquired how the calculation plays into the plan. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded part of the process on zoning areas for future development works through "realistic capacity;" stated a Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 5 February 2, 2021 | CityCouncil/2021-02-02.pdf |
