HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2021-03-04 | 5 | Staff Member Tai said in 2007 it was still a Federal property so it was not within the purview of the city. There were no permits at that time since Federal and State Agencies are not subject to the city's permitting process. Chair Saxby wanted to know why the applicant and the staff hadn't just come before the board for a Certificate of Approval to demolish. Staff Member Tai said once they know the property is not historic it's a more straightforward process to remove it than coming before the board needing approval for each building. Chair Saby said that whatever decision that is made would affect other buildings on the site that was on the EBRP (East Bay Regional Park) property. Mr. Biggs said there was only one remaining building on the EBRP property, and does not include the boathouse. He wanted to add that they are doing it this way because they needed to treat the site as a whole. Staff member Tai clarified that it would still be for individual buildings, but yes doing it this way was more transparent. Chair Saxby clarified that if they delist the site then all future action regarding demolition of individual buildings would not have come back before the board. It would be handled at the staff level. Including the EBRPD site. Staff member Tai said that was correct. Board Member Sanchez wanted to know if the staff could request and file an application with HAB for delisting of a property regardless of an impending project. Staff Member Tai said that was conceivable. He said he could think of other properties that had been demolished that were still on the list. He agreed that any changes to that list should go through a public process. Board Member Sanchez wanted to know who could generate that request. Staff Member Tia said for the Historical Study List anybody could, there were no rules in the Alameda Municipal Code about that. Board Member Sanchez wanted to know if there was pending litigation regarding this site. Celena Chen, City Attorney's Office, explained a recent case that was dismissed and discussed another case challenging Alameda's Design Review Approval in the Superior Historical Advisory Board Approved Minutes 5 March 4, 2021 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2021-03-04.pdf |
