Boatworks Project - 2229 Clement - Environmental Review Scoping Session - The City of Alameda Planning Board will be holding a scoping session to provide an opportunity for the public and responsible agencies to comment on the issues that should be considered in the environmental evaluation for the proposed Boatworks Project located at 2229 Clement Avenue, Alameda California. (AT). This item is for discussion purposes only. No action will be taken at this meeting. Staff presented a Power Point presentation outlining the major points of the project and the scoping session. President Kohlstrand asked staff to give a brief explanation of the Density Bonus Ordinance. Staff responded that the State of California statutes require all cities and counties to adopt density bonus ordinances. The law provides that local government shall grant density bonuses to housing developers who agree to construct units affordable to lower income households. The City of Alameda is currently drafting a Density Bonus Ordinance. The incentives or concessions are not monetary but could be exceptions to certain zoning requirements. Board member Cook asked what incentives the City of Alameda is required to allow. Staff responded that the developer gets to decide what the concessions will be and the City needs to grant the request although monetary payment is not available. Should the project need a height exception or set back exception those types of items could be granted. Page 2 of 9 | PlanningBoard/2009-01-26.pdf |
