PlanningBoard | 2016-04-25 | 6 | Staff Member Thomas said the Park St. hotel is aiming for the second meeting in May to return to the Planning Board. He said May 13th meeting will include more General Plan work. He said May 28th currently has the Climate Action Plan, Capital Improvement Plan, and the Park St. hotel. 10. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS *None* 11. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS Board Member Teague asked that, as a response to the Climate Emergency Declaration, the ferry add carpool parking spaces at the Main St. terminal. He said charging for parking would be a regressive tax given the lack of alternatives. Staff Member Thomas said staff is not interested in adding parking at Main St. because they do not want to become the park and ride location for Bay Area commuters, and also noted the upcoming opening of Seaplane Lagoon and the changes that will have on parking demands. Board Member Teague said the net-metering policy by AMP is not encouraging solar generation. President Sullivan asked if the City has studied providing a shuttle to the Main St. ferry terminal. Staff Member Thomas said the Alameda Shuttle discussions studied a shuttle for the ferry that would cost five million dollars per year, which did not make sense while there is free parking at the terminal. Board Member Saheba seconded the notion of carpooling being a quick and easy way to change behavior. He said that policy would work at all three ferry terminals. Board Member Rothenberg said she hopes the parking consultants do actual observations of the existing conditions at the corners and in the neighborhoods to better understand the situation on the ground before suggesting policies. 12. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS *None* 13. ADJOURNMENT President Sullivan adjourned the meeting at 8:46 p.m. Draft Planning Board minutes Page 6 of 6 April 22, 2019 | PlanningBoard/2016-04-25.pdf |
