PlanningBoard | 2017-11-13 | 2 | Greg Pasquali, Carmel Partners, gave a presentation on their plans for the site and outstanding questions of their purchase. Victoria Johnson, Alameda Housing Authority, said that the Housing Authority managed 1400 units at this site during the 40s, 50s, and 60s. She said their board supports lifting the cap help make sure they can bring a viable project forward on their portion of the site in the future. Board Member Teague asked if the 2009 reuse plan is advisory or mandatory. Staff Member Potter explained the components of the reuse plan. She said they were required to prepare the plan in order for the Navy to convey the property. She said the plan did not envision adaptive reuse and are trying to fit that use into the plan. She said the Navy would call the reuse plan aspirational. Staff Member Thomas said they have to make sure the project that moves forward must comply with the environmental requirements. Board Member Teague asked if the Legally Binding Agreement would have to be amended if the Housing Authority exceeded the number of units originally envisioned. Staff Member Potter said they would not. Board Member Knox White asked who would be responsible for the upgrade of sewer and stormwater systems if they are not replaced with one of these projects. Staff Member Thomas said they would have to establish a process for evaluating and upgrading the systems. He said the City's sewer main is off site, has capacity, and they can treat the project like one big sewer lateral system. He said there is a lot of testing still to be done and they need to plan for at least 435 units. Board Member Sullivan asked when the Housing Authority and Habitat sites would move forward. Ms. Johnson said that they will need a partner to move forward with the affordable components and cannot be certain when that will happen. Board Member Sullivan asked if they could leave the cap in place and revisit it when the next Regional Housing Needs Allocation is given, or when the Housing Authority has a plan to consider. Staff Member Thomas said that they could absolutely do that. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 2 of 11 November 13, 2017 | PlanningBoard/2017-11-13.pdf |
