PlanningBoard | 2018-07-23 | 3 | Board Member Teague asked why the road cannot come in at Entrance Rd and turn at the edge of the Tidelands property. Mr. O'Hara said that it is possible but could present some design problems. Board Member Teague asked whether they considered using trees other than palms. Mr. O'Hara said they are considering many different species and acknowledged that the fronds are not compostable. Board Member Teague asked for a review of the memorandum about California housing laws and how the unit calculations were formed. Staff Attorney Chen gave a brief update on the memo. She said the project meets all the zoning and code requirements and the city cannot reduce the size or density of the project. Board Member Teague asked what flexibility there was for conditions such as the placement of the entrance road in order to be compliant with the General Plan. Staff Attorney Chen said that the road placement idea Board Member Teague had could be feasible, may require further study, and is not an objective standard. She said that as long as it does not make the project infeasible, it could be okay. Board Member Cavanaugh asked if the road could be placed on the eastern edge of the property. Staff Member Thomas said the Fortmann Marina road is really a parking lot, but a road could possibly go along the eastern edge of the applicant's property if it crossed the tidelands property. President Mitchell asked how the Northern Waterfront's requirements regarding phasing plans can coexist with a master plan that does not have a plan for the tidelands property. Staff Member Thomas said that the short time left on the tidelands' lease makes it difficult to expect a full plan for that portion of the site. He said the city does not yet know what it wants to have on that property. Board Member Sullivan asked who paid for the revenue neutral study. Staff Member Thomas said that EPS did the study and that they city has used them on many occasions. Board Member Sullivan asked for clarification on who is in charge of the height limits because she felt the master plan gives conflicting information.
