PlanningBoard | 2007-06-25 | 5 | seen by the Planning Board. He noted that the item could be continued to the next Planning Board meeting since all of the documents were available. Board member Kohlstrand suggested that it may be a benefit if the applicant made a presentation to enable the Board to choose whether or not to continue the item. Board member McNamara supported continuing the item until the next meeting, out of respect for full opportunity for the public to review the documents. She noted the applicant presentation would need to be made again at that point. Board member Cunningham concurred with Board member McNamara's assessment. In response to an inquiry by Board member Ezzy Ashcraft, Mr. Thomas confirmed that this item was appropriately noticed, and that there was no issue about the availability of the material for the public. He understood that Clare Risley had been handed the public binder, and that there was a miscommunication at that point, resulting in her leaving with the staff report, the old plans, but without a copy of the new plans. He noted that the new, larger plans should have been posted on the website. Staff believed that the Board may move forward if so desired this evening, or continue the item to the next meeting. Board member Kohlstrand moved to continue this item to the meeting of July 9, 2007. Board member McNamara seconded the motion, with the following voice vote - Aye: 5 Abstain: 1 (Ezzy Ashcraft). Absent: 1 (Mariani). The motion passed. 9-B. DP07-0003 - Alameda Landing Mixed Use Development Project - Applicant: Catellus Development Group, a ProLogis Company (AT/DV). The applicant requests Development Plan and Design Review approval for Phase 1A and 2A retail buildings, off-street parking, landscaping, and associated improvements south of Mitchell Mosely Extension and east of Fifth Street. The site is located along the western end of the former FISC Site (Tract 7884) within the M-X Mixed Use Planned Development Zoning District. Mr. Thomas summarized the staff report. Mr. David Tiernan, Senior Vice President, Catellus, Development Group, applicant, introduced the LPA architectural team and described the firm's experience. He believed the plan was consistent with the approved Master Plan in terms of its layout and building placement. He noted that it was a pedestrian- and bike-friendly layout that discouraged the use of the automobile inside the development. Mr. Rick Damato, Principal design architect, displayed and described the specifics of the plan. He emphasized that the project was designed to respect the environment and Alameda, and that it could begin to teach the community about smart and sustainable design.
