PlanningBoard | 2016-10-10 | 7 | President Knox White said that the traffic impacts would come back with the EIR. He said tonight is to deal with the site plan. Board Member Köster asked what the retail strategy is. Mr. O'Hara said they anticipate tying in retail on Clement facing the retail in Del Monte. He said they envision 50,000 square feet of retail that could be distributed a number of ways. Board Member Köster asked for clarification on how much commercial space is planned. Staff Member Thomas said they will have to dig into what the nature of the commercial component is. He said he is skeptical that this site will get 50,000 square feet of retail. Board Member Mitchell asked how adaptable the plan is based on potential downward revisions in the number of units allowable in the forthcoming EIR. Mr. O'Hara said this plan has the maximum allowable number of units in the EIR. He said they would have to reconsider many items if the unit count was lowered significantly. Staff Member Thomas said he hoped the site plan would still work with a variety of potential unit counts. Board Member Curtis asked if there would be families at the project. He asked what schools the kids would go to. Mr. O'Hara said they anticipate housing opportunities for all types of households, including families. He said the schools question would be covered in the EIR. Board Member Sullivan asked if there were any playfields for families included in the green space plan. Mr. O'Hara said they have not planned for that specific use. He said there were large spaces that could be used for picnics and games. Board Member Sullivan asked if there would be coordination between different projects for retail strategies or would they all be scrambling for the same customers. Mr. O'Hara said they are planning for neighborhood serving retail at the Del Monte project. He said this site would be unique and attract a different type of user. Board Member Sullivan asked how much of a problem wind would be for a waterfront restaurant at the northwest corner of the site.
