PlanningBoard | 2016-11-14 | 4 | Exception to construct a new approximately 14,300-square-foot three- story mixed-use building located on the southwesterly corner of Webster Street and Pacific Avenue. The new building contains approximately 5,000-square-feet of ground floor retail with an approximately 9,300 square-foot senior boarding house within the second and third stories. The site is located within the C-C Community Commercial Zoning District. Staff Member Thomas introduced the item. The staff report and attachments can be found at: https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=2875505&GUID=0E5AB5AA- 5339-406F-894D-8104621C3F63&FullText=1 Staff Member Dong gave a presentation on the project plans. President Köster asked why this use was not included in the CC zoning district. Staff Member Thomas said the zoning was created in 1999 specifically for the business districts. He said hotels and dwelling units were allowed but is not sure why boarding houses were left out. Board Member Curtis asked if the leased parking would be restricted at any time. Staff Member Dong said they would be exclusively for the lessee. Board Member Zuppan asked why the parking agreement was only for 14 years when the building would be there indefinitely. Staff Member Dong said the condition was based on how a previous project was handled. Board Member Sullivan asked if we knew how many employees would be on site at any given time. Staff Member Dong said they anticipated three employees. Sam Koka, applicant, explained the background for the project and asked the board to approve the project. Board Member Mitchell asked how the applicant arrived at the unit sizes for the project. Mr. Koka said they based it off of other similar projects.
