PlanningBoard | 2017-04-10 | 5 | Board Member Mitchell said his understanding is that they cannot dictate who the applicant can lease the space to, so they want to make sure the spaces are programmed to allow the right types of uses if viable. He said there are many compromises to be weighed on the site. President Köster said this site is different than others and they are trying to systematically preserve the maritime core. 7-B 2017-4167 Study Session to Consider Draft Text Amendment to the City of Alameda Zoning Ordinance (AMC Chapter 30) for Modification of Regulations Pertaining to Second Units (Accessory Dwelling Units), Accessory Structures, and Residential Parking Requirements for Additions of Floor Area to Comply with State Law. The proposed amendments are Statutorily Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15282(h). Staff Member Tai introduced the item. The staff report and attachments can be found at: https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3010219&GUID=8E1C5881- FOF5-4B72-94D4-96556F28B15D&FullText= Staff Member Diamond gave the staff presentation. Board Member Knox White asked why the detached ADUs could only be 600 square feet and attached units can be 750 square feet. Staff Member Tai said they are trying to minimize the footprints and impacts that detached ADUs can have. He explained that the attached ADUs are typically basement conversions that have larger spaces. Board Member Knox White asked for clarification of the "owner occupied" rule. Staff Member Diamond said they are encouraging the owner living on site and have that be deed restricted. Board Member Knox White said that it would lower the property value by limiting the pool of potential buyers for their property. Board Member Curtis said the property should always require an owner occupancy to prevent blight. He asked if a home that was not in compliance with parking requirements would be able to build an ADU.
