PlanningBoard | 2014-03-10 | 6 | being accessed by transit, and parking being another concern. She asked if there is a requirement for developers. Mr. Thomas stated there are requirements for transit and parking for developers. There is a need to make things clearer for the older sites. Not to move the transit to the older areas being developed, but for developers to supplement to transit. Boatworks is required to buy AC Transit passes. We will clarify this in the HE. Board member Zuppan stated this should be for the entire island, an entire transit loop, and can we implement a policy or program. She also spoke on sustainable development being incorporated, and would like to see the sites zoned residential (CVS) be dropped from the HE. She agreed supporting senior housing, and comments being incorporated and collaborated. Mr. Thomas asked for all comments in writing in time for the April 28th PB meeting. That is how we can better collaborate and incorporate all comments. Board member Tang commented the new generation and driving not being a priority for them. He agrees if there is more transit options, more people will not use their car. This will be a good way to attract teachers, first responders, etc. He asked if there was a way to make contracts with other agencies, perhaps building housing above work places to better check in with elderly parents or children. Ms. Farimah Faiz, Deputy City Attorney, stated there are opportunities for joint use agreements with other agencies. Board member Alvarez-Morroni thanked staff and the reminder this document is about policies and programs. She requested seeing Universal Design being incorporated into the HE. She asked for feedback from other agencies, and would not support a RSO. President Burton thanked his Board and staff for the hard work, along with the public on valuable comments. He has concerns about the table and the deletion of programs. He asked about solar power, and AMP has incentives, but the amount of wattage for the current set-up will go away soon. There is a proposedt feed-in type of set-up that could kill any new solar installations on the island. This should be a community wide discussion. There is a list of AMP programs for existing homes that should be clarified in the document. He agreed to look at the RSO and the aging in place type housing, and perhaps study the issues. He is also concern with the links to other major documents, links with development and transit, and links with the community and the economy. He is concerned with why Alameda Point (AP) isn't included in the HE. Mr. Thomas reported the available sites cannot be moved. There are sites on all transit corridors. The HE list is to show the state what is available for development, and there may be a way to provide a supplement list. He said there has been major progress for AP, but there needs to be a GP first. The city doesn't have all of AP yet, and a big chunk of the town center is part of that. These are the same sites we sent to the state in 2012 that Approved Regular Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 7 March 10, 2014 | PlanningBoard/2014-03-10.pdf |
