PlanningBoard | 2017-01-23 | 8 | Board Member Zuppan said she thinks the tentative map needs to move forward. She said she is ready to make that motion after hearing other board member comments. Board Member Knox White said he would like the motion to direct staff to work out these issues before bringing the item to City Council. Board Member Curtis said he is comfortable moving forward, but wants to make sure that the City Attorney's office approves of what moves forward. Staff Attorney Brown summarized what she heard from the board: supporting staff's recommendation to move the map forward with some minor tweaks. She said she thinks that will be fine. Board Member Zuppan made a motion to approve the tentative map with guidance to staff to make minor modifications to make the intent clear as discussed. Board Member Knox White seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-0. 7-D 2017-3807 Recommend City Council Approval of the Main Street Neighborhood Specific Plan at Alameda Point. The Planning Board will hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on the specific plan for the area generally located around Main Street, Pan Am Way, and West Tower Avenue Staff Member Giles gave the staff presentation. Board Member Sullivan asked how staff arrived at only 10% workforce housing. She said that is where our young families will end up and they are very important to this city and the numbers seem low. Staff Member Giles said that 10% is a floor and it was based on what is economically feasible. Staff Member Thomas said they do not have a template for this standard. Board Member Sullivan said staff should look at how our existing neighborhoods are being used and is concerned with the type of housing we are building. Board Member Knox White said we need to be upfront with what areas would have protections from sea level rise at what intervals. He said he was hoping to see how much money would be generated from different sizes of market rate housing products.
