Board Member Knox White said this is exactly the type of project we are looking for. He said bike rack locations will be important for this building. He said the long term bike parking might be in the wrong place and would make more sense near the freight elevator. He said the accessible parking spaces could be moved to be next to each other for better access. He expressed concern for how the truck access off of Ranger would work. Board Member Burton said he supports the project. He said it was difficult to find small commercial spaces and there would be high demand for this type of product. He said he was glad to hear about the developer's experience with rehabilitating old buildings. He said there will not be parking shortages on the base for decades. He said minimizing the visual impact of the rooftop elements is a good idea. Board Member Sullivan said she is enthusiastic about the project and looks forward to seeing it completed. Board Member Curtis said he likes the project, but is worried about density and traffic. Board Member Mitchell said there is a good team behind this project. He said work/live is a great solution to our traffic problems. He said this project is an important step in making Alameda Point successful. Board Member Zuppan made a motion to approve the staff recommendations with modifications: review of bike rack locations; review of trash locations; continue working on truck access details; ensuring the roof and banding changes are made; and, accessible parking locations are reviewed. Board Member Burton seconded the motion. Board Member Knox White said the City Council has already approved the density and we are only voting on the design review. The motion passed 5-1 (Curtis).
