PlanningBoard | 2011-01-24 | 3 | 2. Building Types and Neighborhood Character -- What should new buildings and neighborhoods in Alameda Point look like? 3. Parks and Open Space - How should parks and open space be designed to improve the lives of all Alameda residents? 4. Historic Character, Preservation and Adaptive Reuse -- How should we honor and preserve the history of the former Naval Air Station? 5. Transportation and Access - How should people travel to and from Alameda Point? 6. Community Benefits - Which community benefits are the most important? The City held three community workshops in the fall of 2010. The content and materials presented at the three workshops located at three different locations throughout the City (i.e., East, Central and West Alameda) was identical. This format allowed residents, business owners, and other interested stakeholders from different neighborhoods to provide ideas and feedback on lessons learned and suggest new concepts for Alameda Point. The forums occurred on: November 9, 2010 - East Alameda - Bay Farm Island -- Grand Pavilion November 18, 2010 - Central Alameda - Mastick Senior Center December 8, 2010 - West Alameda - The O'Club The forums were well attended (approximate 70-100 participants at each forum) and discussions were animated. There is also an online interactive workbook. Staff will also be holding an Alameda Point Tenant Forum on February 8, 2011. The results of the forums will be summarized and made available to the public in March 2011. President Ezzy Ashcraft asked how many workbooks have been completed so far. Mr. Thomas did not have an accurate count but said he had two boxes full of the hard copy workbooks completed and had not yet received a tally from the online participants. Mr. Thomas reported that during the months of January and February 2011, City staff is planning to shift the focus of the community engagement process from "community forums" to the City's Boards and Commissions. Staff is requesting that the relevant Boards and Commissions with primary responsibility for planning, transportation, economic development, parks and open space, and historic preservation participate in the process at a regularly scheduled meeting. In March staff will publish a going-forward summary of the Fall Forums, the on-line workbook results, the Board and Commission input, and the result of the Alameda Point Tenants Forum. Through the "Going Forward" Summary, staff will create a consolidated summary of "lessons learned" and recommendations for preparing a vision for Alameda Point. Staff is hoping to have the synthesis complete in time to present the summary to the APPROVED MEETING MINUTES 3 OF 8 PLANNING BOARD 1/24/2011 | PlanningBoard/2011-01-24.pdf |
