PlanningBoard | 2015-07-13 | 10 | The motion carried, 6-0. Board member Alvarez said she was surprised by Condition #2 and that she thinks it is not fair and not doable. She asked how the City would measure whether Big-O is in violation when their customers are also patronizing other businesses. She concurred with discussing permit parking in residential areas but did not agree with the staff recommendations. President Henneberry said that he was against cars up on blocks but that employees should be allowed to park wherever they want. He asked whether Big-O was in favor of the conditions. Mr. Gary Voss, of Big-O, replied that if they can't do service outside they will be forced to move to Oakland. President Henneberry said that if Big-O is okay with the conditions then he is fine with them too. Board Member Knox White suggested adding a condition for metered spots indicating that they are for short term use only. He thinks the issue is leading to a residential parking permit discussion but it will be a long, difficult discussion if it does get there. He suggested staff amend the resolution and come back to the Planning Board in 60 days and suggested starting with Condition #2 to include metered parking and include a time frame of one month. He said Condition #5 should be deleted since the City cannot enforce it. Board Member Köster agreed with Board member Knox White's comments. He said Big- O should have a trial period with the conditions and should conduct a traffic study. Board Member Alvarez asked if a continuance was possible. Mr. Thomas replied that it was and that there was no deadline for this item. President Henneberry stated that the Board was not ready for a decision and asked staff to come back with an amended resolution. Board Member Alvarez motioned to continue the item. Board Member Zupppan second the motion. The motion carried, 6-0. Mr. Thomas said staff would rework the resolution. Board Member Zuppan motioned to continue past 11:00 p.m. Board member Alvarez second the motion. The motion carried, 6-0. 7-D. A Request to Establish an Ad Hoc Planning Board Subcommittee to direct the next steps on the planning and design effort of the Boatworks Project.
