Dorothy Freeman said there is no plan to retain a working boatyard. She said the cumulative effects of all the Northern Waterfront projects were not considered strongly enough. She said the plan does not appropriately honor the history of the site. She said the street trees should be preserved. She said the area and plan do not provide appropriate active park space. Nancy Hird, Save Alameda's Working Waterfront, said she is concerned about the viability of the commercial core. She said businesses do not like uncertainty and the zoning for housing should be taken off of the commercial part of the site. Bill Smith said there are alternatives not considered in the draft EIR that would meet the project goals with fewer impacts. He said the increase in the homeless population was not concerned. He suggested 50% of the units be affordable and a nexus study for affordable housing be conducted. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 3 of 7 February 12, 2018 | PlanningBoard/2018-02-12.pdf |
