PlanningBoard | 2014-11-10 | 2 | The Planning Board closed the public hearing. Vice President Henneberry noted that both community groups and the developers agree on Hybrid Option A. He would like to see how the board feels about it. Board Member Alvarez-Morroni stated that she was not a proponent of unbundled parking, and likes Hybrid Option A. Mr. Thomas replied that the City is working with AC Transit to get access to the ferry terminals. The ferry, buses, and BART ridership are growing. He further stated that the Clement Street expansion has been in the general plan since 2008. All projects in the area are required to expand Clement. The extension of Clement will re-route car traffic, but not reduce it. Board Member Knox White stated that he understands that the developer wants to sell the spaces easier, but PB needs to address citizen's concerns. He wants to only lease spaces, with the price based on minimum and maximum occupancy rates. Board Member Zuppan arrived to the meeting. Board Member Tang had concerns with HOA and third party working together. They will undoubtedly have different agendas and concerns. He addressed public concerns about the size of the project, and wondered if reducing the size would still be affordable for the buyer. Board Member Köster said that he talked with Mr. O'Hara. He concluded that getting a parking space should be simpler for the buyer. If a resident needs a parking space, he or she should have it. He furthermore believed that the plans should be moved around as necessary. Clarify this! Board Member Zuppan said she was torn about these parking plans. Many of the residences will want to have a car, even if transit is used. The current plan suggests that initially, the development will not be well-served by transit, and only then at commute times. Board Member Alvarez-Morroni stated that, long term, there could be some unintended consequences with parking. Hybrid Option A is the best way. Vice President Henneberry said he agreed with Board Member Alvarez-Morroni He believes that receiving a bundled space and leasing it back is an escape hatch for both developer and resident. President Burton said he attended a transit meeting sponsored by AC Transit at City Hall last week. He said that AC Transit is looking at a route that serves the northern waterfront, Approved Regular Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 7 November 10, 2014 | PlanningBoard/2014-11-10.pdf |
