PlanningBoard | 2008-02-11 | 5 | problem, and that Oakland held considerable influence in the entitlement process. She noted that there were limited options remaining. Ms. Faiz replied that a cooperative agreement was a possibility, and added that the City Attorney's offices in Alameda and Oakland were not involved in policy decisions; they only gave legal advice. Ms. Hawkins agreed that a cooperative agreement would be a good idea, and that she and Mr. Thomas may be able to work with the City Attorney's office in that regard. No action was taken. Vice President Kohlstrand rejoined the Planning Board on the dais following this item. 9-A. PLN07-1022 (Master Plan Amendment) - David Hidalgo Architects, Inc. for Westwood Financial Group - 801 through 951 Marina Village Parkway. The applicant requests a Master Plan Amendment to the Marina Village Master Plan to allow the Marina Village Shopping Center to permit up to 25% office use (a maximum of 31,070 square feet), and to allow the future addition of a 5,000 square foot building pad, an 800 square foot kiosk, and a 500 square foot kiosk. The shopping center at build out will be 130,729 square feet. The site is located within an M-X, Mixed-Use Zoning District. (CE) Ms. Eliason summarized the staff report. Staff recommended approval of this item. In response to an inquiry by Board member Ezzy Ashcraft regarding staff's sense of the kinds of retail businesses that were needed in the kiosks, Ms. Eliason replied that the small kiosks could house a small coffee stand or another business that would serve the office development. She noted that they did not know what the square footage would be yet. She noted that these locations would not support drive-through businesses. In response to an inquiry by Board member Ezzy Ashcraft whether there would be any concerns relating to the proximity to the day care center, Ms. Eliason noted that the uses would be examined at a final development plan or design review stage. At that point, the Board would have a better idea of the uses. In response to an inquiry by President Cook whether the location would be appropriate for fast food, Ms. Eliason replied that while it would not be appropriate for drive-through uses, she could not say whether a fast food use would be placed there. In response to an inquiry by Board member Cunningham whether a restriction against fast food uses could be placed on this use, Ms. Eliason replied that the percentage of fast food uses could be restricted, or that there would be no additional fast food uses. She noted that "fast food" must be defined in that case, and she did not believe that "fast food" was defined in the Zoning Ordinance. Board member Cunningham noted that the Webster Street guidelines may provide some direction regarding a definition of fast food, and asked staff to provide further definition of the types of office spaces for the project.
