PlanningBoard | 2009-09-28 | 3 | Encinal Terminals until August 2012. Board member Cunningham proposed that the Board provide some specific guidance that could guide future decision makers as to what should be done with this site if the economy does not improve and the applicant returns to the Board requesting another extension of the use permit, assuming the Master Plan is not completed by 2012. Staff stated that the City will closely work with the property owner on the development of a Master Plan for the site. The board discussed the proposed height limits for interim uses and agreed that stacked items should be limited to 15 feet, but that individual items that are not stacked, such as a sailboat could exceed the 15 foot limit. Board member Lynch introduced the discussion of short-term storage of transit buses. He stated that there was a large municipal bus service actively looking for land to lease to store their buses. He said that there were environmental concerns which is why the bus companies are looking for storage. Board Member Lynch expressed concern about that problem arising in Alameda. He invited Mr. Gold, attorney for Mr. Wang, to address the issue. Mr. Gold recommended that the Board allow long-term bus storage, but to preclude short- term (daily) bus storage to avoid daily traffic. Following a review, the Board modified the conditions of approval for the project so they read as follows: 1. The occupants of the site shall comply with all conditions of Use Permit UP-94-06 as modified by Resolution PB-09-09 adopted on July 13, 2009 unless modified by the following conditions in which case the following conditions shall supersede conditions in UP-94-06. 2. All container storage and repair activities must be terminated by August 3, 2010. 3. Between August 3, 2010 and August 3, 2012, the following uses may be permitted on the site: a. Special events. Farmers markets, flower markets, maritime sales, movie and other entertainment production, art shows and other outdoor events, exhibits and shows, subject to obtaining a Special Event Permit. Special event uses must provide parking exclusively on site or a combination of on site and nearby private or valet parking not impacting public streets. b. Outdoor storage. Boats, watercraft, automobiles, RV's, chassis, trailers, automotive equipment, vehicles, buses, trucks, mobile homes, construction equipment and materials (for businesses, homes, commercial and/or household goods) and ancillary uses, including office or retail functions.
