PlanningBoard | 2011-10-24 | 4 | Mr. Thomas reported that on December 13, 2011, the City Council will consider a staff recommendation to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Harbor Bay Island Associates (HBIA). The MOA is designed to create a process and a funding source for the evaluation of a proposal that would entail a land swap between the City of Alameda and HBIA to provide private funds for improvements at the Golf Complex and land and funds to build a new 12-acre public sports center. If the City Council approves the MOA, then staff and a team of consultants will prepare a comprehensive evaluation of all the potential environmental impacts of all aspects of the proposal and a range of project alternatives. Specifically, the DEIR will address Transportation, Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology, Soils, and Seismicity, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use, Plans, and Zoning, Noise, Population, Employment, and Housing, Public Services, Utilities and Service Systems, and Alternatives to the project, including a No-Project alternative. Once the DEIR is completed and circulated for public review, the Planning Board will hold a second public hearing to provide an opportunity to comment on the adequacy of the analysis included in the DEIR. Staff will then prepare a Final EIR for public circulation before any final actions on the project can be taken on the proposal. He stated that the proposed project has three principal components: 1. Redesign, relocation, construction, and operation of a new 9-hole Mif Albright Par 3 Golf Course adjacent to the redesigned 18 hole Jack Clark Course. This portion of the total Project includes: (1) construction of a new 9-hole Mif Albright Par 3 Golf Course located on the easterly side of the Lucious Bateman Driving Range and a reconfigured layout for the Jack Clark South Course and some other land in the southeasterly portion of the City's Chuck Corica Golf Complex to accommodate the new Mif Albright Course; (2) drainage and other improvements to the Jack Clark South Course, and (3) construction of a new entry at Clubhouse Memorial Road. No General Plan or zoning amendments would be necessary for this portion of the project. 2. Construction and occupancy of up to 130 new housing units on the 12 acres currently occupied by the 9-hole Mif Albright Golf Course acreage. This portion of the Project includes development of up to 130 new homes on the 12 acres of land currently occupied by the 9-hole Mif Albright Golf Course. The City's General Plan would be amended to change the Land Use designation of this new parcel from "Parks and Public Open Space" to "Medium-Density Residential," and the City's Zoning Map would be amended to change the Zoning District classification of this new parcel from "O - Open Space" to R-2-PD, i.e. R-2 Residential, with a Planned Development Overlay. It is anticipated that the P.D. Overlay will specify standards and requirements for the development of the site for up to 130 single family detached homes. The subdivision would have up to 130 residential lots sized at least 35 feet by 70 feet. The homes can be up to three stories in height, with variety in home sizes permitted. Each home would have two covered parking spaces, and the new neighborhood would provide off-street guest parking. The new neighborhood would have three entry points: (1) off Island Drive by way of Clubhouse Memorial Road; (2) off Maitland Drive; and (3) off Flower Road.
