CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2017-12-13 | 3 | Arnold Brillinger: What day is that? Jenny Linton: February 3. Laurie Kozisek: Last year it was in March. Beth Kenny: Okay. Laurie Kozisek: The retreat was in March 11th, of last year. Beth Kenny: Alright, so what Is it the second? Anto Aghapekian: The third. Beth Kenny: I'm going to suggest February 3rd. Does anyone have any objections to that? Alright, all in favor? Arnold Brillinger: Aye. Beth Kenny: Great. The retreat will be February 3rd. I expect it'll start around 10:00, end by around 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon. The other thing about the retreat that I wanted to let people know is that I will be sending out, with the agenda for the retreat, some questions that I want you guys to think about and come prepared to talk about at the retreat. Basically, for those of you who were there last year, the ones that I put up on the board to spark conversation about the commission goals. 4-B Commission involvement in requests for exemptions to the Universal Design Ordinance Beth Kenny: Let's move on to item 4B. I don't know if everyone here is aware, but the Universal Design Ordinance passed City Council and is now in effect as a law in ordinance in the City of Alameda. Arnold Brillinger: Is it that it starts in January or it's in effect right now? Beth Kenny: It's in effect right now. Next Tuesday night the Encinal terminals will be presenting their development to City Council, and they've reached out to make sure it will be in line with the Universal Design Ordinance. They're aware it's the first big development to be under the Universal Design Ordinance. Part of the Universal Design Ordinance is that there is a waiver people can submit, and they can apply for this waiver at the design review process, which goes before the Planning Board. However, we've asked that the Planning Board let us know when anybody asks for a waiver of Universal Design elements. And the waivers can be something where it's financially impossible, or the physical location doesn't make it feasible. We've asked to be notified when those waiver requests come in. What we'd like to do tonight is to have three people authorized to speak on behalf of the Commission at these Planning Board meetings when these exemptions, waiver requests come up. Arnold Brillinger: And we would know ahead of time that it's going to happen. 12/12/17 Page 3 of 10 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-12-13.pdf |
