PlanningBoard | 2019-02-25 | 2 | 7. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 7-A 2019-6576 PLN18-0533 - Use Permit Call for Review - 2400 Monarch Street (Alameda Point, Bldg 44) - Applicant: Jeffrey Nibler on behalf of Wonky Kitchen, LLC. Public hearing to consider a call for review of the Zoning Administrator's approval of an administrative use permit to allow the operation of food trucks within the parking lot of Building 44 at Alameda Point (2400 Monarch Street), and to allow extended hours of operation for the food trucks before 7:00 AM, starting at 6:00 AM, and after 10:00 PM, staying open until midnight. The applicant proposes having up to three food trucks operating on the site at one time, seven days a week. The property is located within the AP-AR (Alameda Point, Adaptive Reuse) Zoning District. The Alameda Point Final Environmental Impact Report evaluated the environmental impacts of redevelopment and reuse of the lands at Alameda Point, and no further review is required for this project. As a separate and independent basis, this project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 - Existing Facilities. Staff Member Thomas listed the options available to the board.

Kelly Kearney said she operates a catering company on the Point. She said she is concerned by the large number of food trucks being approved in the area. She said there was a vehicle theft in the area recently. She said Matson's lease was not renewed because the sight of shipping containers was not in the City's vision for the area. She said that now the food trucks are using the lot, now leased by Natel Energy, for storage. She said there should be security provided by all the new users of the area. She said she wants them to follow the same rules as everyone else. There were no other public speakers. President Sullivan closed the public hearing. Staff Member Thomas said the City is working hard to redevelop Alameda Point. He said it is a work in progress and that they invest a significant amount of money in security, lighting, and infrastructure. Board Member Curtis asked who owns the property where food trucks are storing items at the old Matson property and how can the issue be resolved.
