PlanningBoard | 2018-09-10 | 4 | Board Member Sullivan reiterated her desire to have a review in six months. Board Member Teague said he thinks six months is not enough time to know if the policy is working. Board Member Curtis agreed. The motion passed 5-1 (Sullivan opposed.) 7-B 2018-5923 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=3645841&GUID=9D095822- DF9-448E-9991-12C5DE6BAA15&FullText=1 Sean Whiskeman, Catellus, gave an update on the project process. Jason Victor, park designer, gave a presentation on the park design. Board Member Sullivan asked how many people would be expected to use the park on a weekend day. Mr. Victor said they do not have specific numbers but envision some larger events, but there would not often be a densely packed space. He gave a breakdown of where parking for the park would be located and phased. Board Member Sullivan asked what kind of retail uses they are envisioning for the park area. Mr. Whiskeman said they are required to have 5,000 square feet of commercial space and that they think a couple of small restaurants would be the best way to activate the plaza. Board Member Teague asked how the change in park boundaries affected the park acreage. Staff Member Thomas explained why they adjusted the property lines to accommodate privately owned setbacks for the housing which was compensated for by adding in the pocket parks and dock acreage. Board Member Teague asked why the dock was part of phase II. Approved Minutes Page 4 of 9 September 10, 2018 Planning Board Meeting | PlanningBoard/2018-09-10.pdf |
