REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 7-A 2018-5706 Public Hearing to Consider a Waterfront Plaza and Promenade Development Plan and Design Review for Approximately 4.5 acres of the Alameda Landing waterfront. An Environmental Impact Report has been completed for the Alameda Landing Project, Including the Proposed Park. Staff Member Dong introduced the item. The staff report and attachments can be found at: https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3533335&GUID=B59D9E45- 90F-4A48-B82B-4D92E47E04E9&FullText=1 Jason Victor, project architect, gave a presentation on the park design. Board Member Teague asked where the retail space would be in relation to the park. Mr. Victor explained where on the diagram the retail is proposed. Board Member Teague asked if the included lamp post example would me the downward lighting guidelines for the area. Staff Member Tai said that there are decorative lights that meet the downward and shielded lighting requirements. Board Member Sullivan asked if the wharf requires the large amount of hardscape. Mr. Victor said the deck constraints do dictate a large amount of hardscape. He said maintenance costs and requirements were also strongly considered in the plan. Board Member Sullivan raised concerns about the maintenance requirements of using decomposed granite. She encouraged choosing green plants over yellow ones. She asked about who would use the park given the relatively small number of parking spaces. Mr. Victor said they have allocated 36 spaces for the park and retail uses. Board Member Teague said that ACI has stopped accepting palm tree waste and we should consider whether it is appropriate to continue adding them to parks like this given the change. Board Member Cavanaugh asked for more information about the exhibit describing a potential bike bridge alignment.
