PlanningBoard | 2018-10-08 | 10 | Mr. Biggs said they met with stakeholders early on after getting authorization for the project. He said they met with the Friends of Crab Cove leaders and are working to schedule a follow up meeting. Board Member Burton said the project will happen one way or another. He said no agencies have expressed interest in the land. He said it is right that we move forward with the project. He said we have a moral responsibility to help these folks. Board Member Sullivan said she is frustrated that there has not been a lot of transparency. She said she would like to see the facility serve Alameda residents and that there are no guarantees. Board Member Curtis said he does not think this is not the right location for this facility and he had to vote his conscience. Board Member Saheba said it is clear this is a zoning and land use issue and he is in support of the staff recommendation. President Mitchell said he is lobbied by many people, but the homeless people who would benefit from this project do not have a voice in this process. He said the services the project will provide will help alleviate homelessness. He said he would like to move forward with the project. President Mitchell made a motion to approve the staff recommendation. Board Member Teague proposed a friendly amendment altering finding #3 regarding the bed count to be less specific and make it clear they are only approving the land use. President Mitchell accepted the amendment. Board Member Teague seconded the motion. Board Member Curtis asked that the motion be bifurcated to separate out the mitigated negative declaration from the other three items. Staff Member Thomas said they need to act on the mitigated negative declaration first. The motion to recommend Council adopt the mitigated negative declaration was approved 6-1 (Curtis opposed.) Board Member Teague made a motion to recommend to City Council to amend the General Plan with the previously stated changes to finding #3, drop the G overlay, and to maintain the AP zoning. President Mitchell seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0-2 (Curtis and Sullivan abstained.) President Mitchell declared a brief recess.
