PlanningBoard | 2012-05-14 | 12 | None 11. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS: Board member Knox White stated that a number of people are asking what's happening with Alameda Landing and when is it happening. He stated that he is not able to answer those questions and would like a checklist of the key things that have to happen, in the general order of what is being approved next, etc. He also asked for a status update on the Boatworks project, especially in terms of the blight. Mr. Thomas stated that City is pursuing code enforcement on Boatworks very strongly. Ms. Faiz replied that a preliminary injunction is in place and the permanent injunction trial date is scheduled for September. Ms. Faiz responded that there are no concerns with Brown Act violations. Board member Knox White stated that he and board member Ezzy Ashcraft attended the Shoreline Bike Lane meeting on Thursday. He commended the Public Works department for hosting such a good process. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft concurred and said that the Board should speak with the Public Works Director on how to get community members to attend meetings. She stated the Shoreline Drive Bike project is an important meeting that all should be following. She stated that she and board member Knox White also attended the Housing Element, Design Review, and Regional Housing Needs Allocation workshops hosted by the League of California Cities in San Jose. Mr. Thomas concurred with that suggestion and stated he recently walked the Grand Marina Project with the first approved Paseo area, and it was great to see how things turned out, and see what worked and didn't work Board member Henneberry asked that staff look at the large format language and address the feasibility of reducing the 30,000 square foot trigger for a conditional use permit to 15,000 square feet. Mr. Thomas replied that staff will look at the scheduling. President Zuppan stated that she hopes more bike racks will be installed on Park Street because there is one rack for the entire block, and no place to park bicycles near the coffee shops 12.
