PlanningBoard | 2015-11-09 | 3 | Board Member Zuppan said she wants to move the project forward because affordable housing, especially in this location, is important. Board Member Henneberry said he supports the project. Board Member Mitchell said he is okay with the shorter setback. He said he does not like the perforated metal railing material. He said he is supportive of affordable housing. He is ready to move the project forward and bring the small details back for final review. Board Member Zuppan moved to approve the item with the changes and conditions as outlined by President Knox White and Mr. Thomas. Board Member Henneberry seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-0. 7-B 2015-2258 Zoning Conformance Determination - Senior Care Facility - Applicant: Christopher Garwood, Pacific Union. An application for a zoning conformance determination for a senior care facility on a five acre property located adjacent to the Harbor Bay Ferry Terminal in the Harbor Bay Business Park.

Chris Garwood of Pacific Union Land Company, project applicant, spoke about the proposal. President Knox White opened the public hearing. Steven Gortlor, a neighbor, said he does not support the project. He says it is a residential project and does not meet the zoning for the location. Rosemary Reilly, director for Alameda Meals on Wheels, said assisted living, senior housing is a good neighbor and value to the community. She said it would enable people to stay in the community. Michael McDonough, President of the Alameda Chamber of Commerce, said the zoning was applicable and a precedent had been set with Cardinal Point I. He said the project would bring 54 permanent jobs in addition to the temporary jobs during the building.
