PlanningBoard | 2008-06-23 | 20 | Board member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that the table contained in page 4 of the staff report. She inquired whether the purpose of the text amendment was simply to prevent K-Mart, WalMart and similar stores, and whether the smaller retailers would also suffer if a Costco or Home Depot came into Alameda. She suggested prohibiting retail establishments that exceed 90,000 square feet. In response to an inquiry by Board member Ezzy Ashcraft regarding the proposed square footage for the Target that had been proposed for the Aalmeda Towne Centre, Mr. Garrison replied that it was 147,000 square feet, and that the Safeway in Town Centre was approximately 60,000 square feet. She noted that Home Depot may exceed 90,000 square feet, but would not include the floor area for nontaxable goods. She would be more comfortable prohibiting retail establishments that exceed 90,000 square feet in size. Page 20 of 23 | PlanningBoard/2008-06-23.pdf |
