PlanningBoard | 2007-07-23 | 3 | b. Zoning Administrator Report Mr. Thomas provided the Zoning Administrator report. 7. ORAL COMMUNICATION None. 8. CONSENT CALENDAR: None. 9. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: 9-A. DP07-0003 - Alameda Landing Mixed Use Development Project - Applicant: Catellus Development Group, a ProLogis Company and the City of Alameda. The applicant requests Development Plan approval for landscaping and public right-of-way improvements along Mitchell Mosely Avenue, Fifth Street, and Willie Stargell Avenue. 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. (AT/DV) Mr. Thomas presented the staff report, and noted that the landscape plans for the three new major public roads would be addressed during this item. Staff recommended approval of the landscape plans. Ms. Linda Gates, Gates and Associates, landscape architect, displayed a PowerPoint presentation to describe the streetscape plan for this project. Mr. Rene Behan, SWA Group, landscape architect, continued the presentation of the master plan. The public hearing was opened. Ms. Diana Thomas, General Manager, Mariner Square Athletic Club, 2227 Mariner Square Loop, noted that while they were very excited about the project as presented to the City, and about the Alameda Landing as a whole, they did have some concerns regarding the landscaping proposal, particularly the extra triangle of land as displayed. She noted that was part of the property that the club occupied at 2227 Mariner Square Loop, as well as Bayside Pavilion. She noted that the easement rights were still unclear after meetings with the City, in addition to the traffic easements. In addition, the current extension of Willie Stargell, and how it was presented, would prohibit access to the current property that they occupied, as well as the current businesses. She expressed concern about the tenants in the property that had a loading dock and loading bay, and that the access would be lost. She was concerned that the secondary driveway would increase or reconfigure the traffic through their parking lot. Page 3 of 9 | PlanningBoard/2007-07-23.pdf |
