PlanningBoard | 2013-04-08 | 6 | Ms. Ott stated that if the City adds more housing it could jeopardize the Navy conveying the land. Mr. Thomas stated that adding more than the allotted housing, the process would stop. The Navy and the City did a reuse plan, including a NEPA document, at the cost of $2mil to the Navy about 15 years ago. NEPA has to be done before transfer or conveyance. The Navy is using the numbers from the NEPA doc. Ms. Ott stated there are a couple different scenarios that could happen should the City ask the Navy to look at a new plan. Ms. Lori Taylor, Community Development Director, stated one of the things that is healthy for the community is diversity, with parks, employment, and other services. She has noticed throughout Alameda is that many of those employment developed based properties have later included housing issues. Employment generated services needs to be considered to sustain the City. President Zuppan asked for a motion to endorse the vision statement. Board member Henneberry motioned to approve the vision statement. Board member Köster seconded the motion. Motion carried, 5-2, opposed Vice-President Burton and Board member Knox White. President Zuppan asked for comments on the zoning ordinance, purpose statement and configuration. Board member Tang stated he is fine with the document. Board Member Alvarez-Morroni stated she is open to renaming the areas. Board member Köster stated the strikeouts in the residential areas are confusing. Vice-President Burton clarified this being 'building types', not the use. Mr. Thomas asked for comments regarding the description of types and uses, then an overall purpose can come back later. Board member Köster stated he is pleased SOM was selected, and using Treasure Island as an example. Board member Knox White stated the Board just approved a vision statement that limits the City to 1,425 housing units and the residential zone needs to be labeled. The City should focus on the town center and same thing about the adaptive reuse. He stated being interested in the next round, and perhaps think about handing-off the old buildings that must stay. He asked if the board would talk about the sports complex in the future. Approved Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 8 April 8, 2013 | PlanningBoard/2013-04-08.pdf |
