PlanningBoard | 2018-10-22 | 3 | Staff Member Thomas said that the development agreement allows 100' buildings, but the FAA overlay would be what determines heights for the site. Board Member Sullivan asked how many employees would be at the facility at any time. The traffic consultant said the parking demand was calculated from other hotels which captures employees and guest parking together. He said they used suburban hotels as a guideline. Board Member Sullivan asked about safety for women parking in the satellite lots. The traffic consultant said it would be more difficult to ensure because of all the downlighting guidelines, but that there should not often be a need to park too far from the building. Board Member Sullivan asked why the building was so dark. Mr. Patel said they used the latest Hilton Garden Inn designs and used some cues from the business park. Board Member Sullivan gave feedback on the tree selections. Board Member Curtis said his concerns are the access and lighting for the parking lots. He said there should be adequate lighting for people to feel safe. President Mitchell asked what environmental conservation measures are in place for the building. The project architect reiterated their intention to have rooftop solar and said they may not have gotten far enough along to think about grey water or other ideas. President Mitchell said that Alameda would soon have access to recycled water and we should be prepared to take advantage. President Mitchell opened the public hearing. Ty Hudson, Unite Here, said they support the project. He said the developer has taken a responsible and collaborative approach towards their future hotel workers. President Mitchell closed the public hearing. Board Member Curtis said he is mostly concerned with the safety of the parking and with possible noise levels.
