PlanningBoard | 2007-03-12 | 15 | 11. STAFF COMMUNICATION: a. Future Agendas and work program Mr. Thomas distributed the list of 106 applications that were currently on file in the Planning & Building Department to the Board members. He noted that many projects did not come to the Planning Board. In terms of upcoming agendas, he noted that they intended to limit the agendas to only one major item, plus other less challenging items. On March 26, the Northern Waterfront EIR and General Plan Amendment would be heard. A design review on Haight Avenue would also be heard. Mr. Thomas noted that the workshop would be held on March 29, which was designed to generate a lot of good information and would focus on two alternatives to the PDC. One alternative would be relieved of the Measure A constraint, and one would not be relieved of the Measure A constraint but would address changing the plan to be more supportive of transportation. Mr. Thomas noted that April 18 would be a special meeting held in lieu of the April 9 meeting cancelled due to vacation schedules. He noted that would conflict with the [ICLEI] Task Force meeting. The major item on that agenda was the EIR public hearing on Harbor Bay Village VI General Plan Amendment, and that a decision would not be made at that meeting. A very large turnout was expected at that meeting. The other three items were expected to be fairly easy, and may be placed on Consent Calendar, with the possible exception of the Hawthorne Suites parking exception. Mr. Thomas noted that the Safeway gas proposal would be held on April 23, 2007, and staff anticipated being ready for the Alameda Landing Phase I development plan. Site planning issues would be discussed, but architectural issues would not be discussed. The shopping center may be discussed. Mr. Thomas noted that the May 29 meeting may contain the Transportation Element update, and that a joint meeting may be held with the Transportation Commission for that item. Member Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether a Zoning Administrator would be hired. Ms. Woodbury noted that the role of Zoning Administrator was fulfilled by the Planning and Building Director, or someone designated by the Planning and Building Director. Member McNamara inquired about the status of Long's Ms. Woodbury noted that it was a façade renovation, and that an Art Deco theme to the exterior had been developed. She noted that all the design review letters would be sent to the Planning Board members, and noted that several parking spaces would be lost. Member Ezzy Ashcraft inquired about the street trees in front of the library. Ms. Woodbury believed there had been a delay in getting the planter boxes.
