PlanningBoard | 2017-09-11 | 5 | Board Member Curtis suggested approving the extra units but specifying the ratio of parking spaces per bedroom. Board Member Burton said he would be uncomfortable setting the parking ratio now. He said he would prefer allowing the Housing Authority to demonstrate how they are providing adequate parking based on data from other facilities. Board Member Zuppan made a motion to approve the development plan for 66 units with the clarifications for items D and E that they are subject to design review, and that the 66 units could be increased if the applicant demonstrates that their would be adequate parking. Board Member Köster seconded the motion. Board Member Knox White said going for funding needs certainty. He asked if they could give staff direction to return with a zoning change that allows them to go up another story. Ms. Johnson said they are not averse to the flexibility. She said a taller building would increase per square foot costs beyond their already high level. Board Member Zuppan said she would like to amend her motion to allow 66-84 units on the site. Board Member Köster accepted the amendment. The motion passed 7- 0. 7-B 2017-4674 Public Hearing to Consider a Proposed Zoning Amendment to AMC Section 30-25 Appeals or Calls for Review Staff Member Thomas introduced the item. The staff report and attachments can be found at: https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3142742&GUID=9E2FA4AD- E3CB-4E3D-9271-4F397B794B4E&FullText=1 Board Member Sullivan asked what the process is for the zoning amendment. Staff Member Thomas said they have two public hearings with the council to change the law. He said the staff report would be updated with the Planning Board's recommendations. Board Member Sullivan asked if a resident's appeal fee could be waived if the council then calls it for review. Staff Member Thomas said it would not. Board Member Sullivan asked how many calls for review have been made. Staff Member Thomas said there have been ten since 2015. He said from 2002-2014 there were five.
