PlanningBoard | 2017-12-11 | 5 | Board Member Curtis said the young people will be throwing parties and asked where all those people would park. Staff Member Thomas said they could use the nearby public parking lots or on street parking. Board Member Curtis said that this is a great experiment, but if we are wrong, people will be fighting over parking. Staff Member Thomas said that people will be able to drive, but they need to provide options in the context of a growing region that is not building more freeways or widening roads. Staff Member Ott explained the parking management plan for the base. She said they want to keep control of the parking in the public control in order to respond to changes in demand in the future. She said the strategy is based on data from other cities which have been successful and includes the use of parking lots that can be redeveloped as parking structures when demand is sufficient to fund the cost of garage construction. To manage demand, all public lots and garages would be available to the public and Alameda Point residents and employees and parking charges will be managed by the City as a trip reduction strategy. President Mitchell pointed out that areas which have residential mixed with their retail, unlike South Shore, do not have vacancies. Staff Member Thomas summarized potential conditions to add to the resolution consistent with the board's comments. He said they could add conditions regarding the tree, grass, and bamboo selection. He asked if the board would like to see the front elevation and/or the treatment of the garage elevation come back to the board or if they would like to just give direction to staff. Board Member Köster said he would like to see the front elevation come back for final approval. He said he would also like to see a perspective of the interior courtyard. Board Member Mitchell said he is comfortable with the garage entrance treatment being dealt with at the staff level. Staff Member Thomas suggested that they could approve the resolution and require the outstanding elements come back for final approval. Board Member Cavanaugh said he would like to see more options for the rooftop. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 5 of 7 December 11, 2017 | PlanningBoard/2017-12-11.pdf |
