PlanningBoard | 2012-03-12 | 3 | Streetscape Plan in the April 9th agenda and how will that be presented to the Board. Mr. Thomas replied it would be a rendering of the proposed project on Park Street. Board member Knox White referred to the last meeting where the Board discussed the Broadway/Jackson project and staff indicated the Oakland City Council was in support of the project. He contacted the offices of Wilma Chan, staff for Rebecca Kaplan, and Pat Kernighan to confirm their support. They are in support of the general idea of the project, but depending on whom you talk to they have some concerns. There were suggestions about something coming back to the Board for review and we're already a year into the project study report and it has not come back. He is surprised that the project is not on the agenda until May, especially since this is a $190 million dollar public works project. Mr. Thomas replied that staff is looking at the agendas for the next couple of months and the April 23rd meeting could work, especially since the Board will be discussing the Alameda Point Rezoning plan. He will contact Public Works to see if they can attend the meeting. President Zuppan agreed. 7. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: None. 8. CONSENT CALENDAR: None. 9. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: 9-A. Housing Element Update Public Workshop - The Planning Board will hold a public workshop to consider a package of amendments to the City of Alameda Housing Element to respond to State of California Government Code requirements and suggestions from the State Department of Housing and Community Development. The package also includes a number of proposed amendments to the Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance related housing requirements and development processes. The purpose of the meeting is to solicit public comments on the proposals. No final actions will be taken by the Planning Board on the proposals at this meeting. Mr. Thomas gave a brief Power Point presentation about the Draft Housing Element and subsequent public process and schedule. He reported on the Draft Housing Element Amendments and related amendments to the Land Use Element and zoning ordinance under the City of Alameda's General Plan. The purpose of the presentation was to kick off a 2-month review period related to the staff report. The goals are after the 60-day review period, the Board will recommend the changes to the Housing Element and the zoning amendments to the City Council for approval and then receive certification this year.
