HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2021-05-06 | 3 | Board Member Sanchez asked if they wanted the Crab Cove Visitor's Center to be listed separately from the Alameda Federal Center that it could be done administratively by the staff. Staff Member Tai said that was correct. Chair Saxby clarified that they were only asked to consider delisting the Northern part of this site, and the Southern part of the site was excluded from the request. Staff Member Tai said that was correct. He added that Building 7, the boathouse, and the infirmary were not part of the delisting request. Chair Saxby wanted to know the logic of that approach of separating the Southern part of this parcel. Staff Member Tai explained that the request is related to the McKay Wellness Center. The applicant determined the buildings could not be feasibly reused, which led to questioning what other buildings on this site needed to be demolished. To continue with the McKay Wellness Center Project the staff was only looking at the 3.5-acre portion. Board Member Sanchez asked if the original application also included the demolition of the small accessory structures. Henry Dong, Planner III, said it included four accessory buildings. Board Member Sanchez wanted to know if the General Services Agency (GSA) were to propose a new building on that site then they would not have to go through the City of Alameda's approval process. Staff Member Tai said that was correct. Board Member Sanchez continued saying if GSA wanted to demolish all the buildings on this site they could do that without an application for approval. Staff Member Tai said that was also correct, that was what had happened to the other buildings of the Alameda Federal Center previously. Board Member Sanchez further clarified that having this location on the Study List would do nothing to sway or stop GSA if they wanted to tear down and build a new building. Staff Member Tai said that was correct. Board Member Lynn Jones wanted more information about the adaptive reuse feasibility study that was brought up in the public comments.
