PlanningBoard | 2005-05-23 | 10 | to a unique community. Mr. Richard Archuleta, 1406 9th Street, spoke again in support of this application. He did not believe this theater could be compared to the theater on Alameda Point, and that this was a neighborhood theater that people could walk to. He noted that there was sufficient parking for theater patrons. Mr. Robert Todd spoke in opposition to this item. He expressed concern that this business may expand its services as it became more successful, and would not want to see additional uses, such as a restaurant that may serve alcohol. He expressed concern about the actions of patrons as they leave, causing noise or hazards on the road. He inquired whether this use would have the same noise restrictions as residential districts, and was concerned that it would become a nuisance in the future. He expressed concern about the operation of the Building Department. Dr. Carol Gerdes noted that she was an obstetrician and spoke in support of this application. She noted that the theater held a Baby Brigade evening on Tuesdays. She appreciated Alameda's family community, and believed it was important to support this use. She noted that the mortuary use was more intense. Ms. Karya Lustig, 838 Central Avenue, spoke in support of this application and noted that she lived next door to the theater. She and her family appreciated the family atmosphere, and added that their initial noise and traffic concerns had not been borne out. She complimented the applicant on the way in which he kept the property up. Mr. Kevin Frederick, 1282 Caroline Street, spoke in support of this application and believed this was a good use of the site. He liked the design of the theater. Ms. Michele Bealhimer, PO Box 2933, noted that she lived three blocks away from the theater, and liked the small-town feel that was particular to Alameda. She added that there was no adverse noise impact from the theater. Mr. Ronald Pineda, 748 Lincoln, noted that he liked the theater, but was concerned that Alameda might emulate the character from other towns rather than be a unique community. He believed Central Cinema was an important component of Alameda's character. The public hearing was closed. There was no Board discussion.
