PlanningBoard | 2012-01-09 | 2 | member Kohlstrand's accomplishments. 6. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS: Written Report 6-A Future Agendas Andrew Thomas, Planning Services Manager, reported on the future agenda items. The next hearing dated January 23, 2012 would be a design review for 2004 Clinton Avenue and a speaker would make a presentation on universal design and housing. On February 13, 2012, the Draft North Park Street Code and Draft Environmental Impact Report for the North Park Street Code would receive public comment. The February 27th hearing would review and take action on the architectural design for Building K, landscape and open space plan for the Alameda Landing Project. Additionally, the Board would comment on the Public Works Department's Prioritize List of Transportation Projects. On March 12th, the Board would review the housing element update; this would be the second in a series of workshops. Mr. Thomas plans to have all the proposals for the Housing Amendment prior to the March 12th meeting. Furthermore, he plans to have the draft amendments to the public art resolution before the March 26th meeting. President Ezzy Ashcraft asked Mr. Thomas to give a brief update on the redevelopment process after the state dismantled all redevelopment agencies. Mr. Thomas replied Alameda Landing is dependent on redevelopment, but he asked Debbie Potter to further explain the situation. Debbie Potter, Manager of Alameda Housing Development and Programs, reported on the outcome of redevelopment agencies. She explained that all agencies must be dissolved by February 1, 2012 and the City is unable to replace redevelopment with an optional or new program. So, a number of cities and counties have looked into designating a successor agency or housing agency once the dissolution is in effect. On January 4th, the City of Alameda became the selector agency and the Alameda Housing Agency will be the successor for the housing in Alameda. President Ezzy Ashcraft asked are there any projects in Alameda that would be in jeopardy or would be halted. Ms. Potter stated that the City and the Redevelopment Agency had to identify all of its enforceable obligations. Once the enforceable obligations are identified, then they are able to move forward. The Alameda Landing, Boatworks, and Islander Motel projects are enforceable obligations and can move forward. However, there is a move in the state legislature to postpone the dissolution from February 1 in order to buy a little time to better manage the unwinding of the agencies.
