REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: 8-A Grand Marina Village Master Plan Amendments - Applicant - Warmington Homes. Proposed amendments to the Grand Marina Master Plan to maintain consistency with the City of Alameda affordable housing program and amendments to landscaping plans. The property is located at the intersection of Grand Street and Fortmann Way and is zoned M-X Mixed Use. Board member Cook asked whether the Planning Board would have had the ability to require more public amenities or a better site plan in this development when this project was originally reviewed and why more public amenities are not being included with the request for fewer affordable housing units. Staff responded that the current status of the economy makes financing and profitability of these developments difficult. In order to move forward with the phased development, the applicant, Warmington Homes, was requesting a decrease in the number of affordable units pursuant to the new inclusionary housing requirements that were adopted by the City Planning Board Page 2 of 8 Approved Meeting Minutes 5/24/2010 | PlanningBoard/2010-05-24.pdf |
