PlanningBoard | 2019-07-08 | 5 | Board Member Saheba said he thinks the change in window material will be okay. He said it was difficult to see what the effect would be on the muntins and the amount of glass visible. He said the stucco joint locations make no sense to him. He said he is not in favor of the change from the hardie panel to cement plaster. Board Member Hom said he supports the motion and feels the proposed amendment about the scoring pattern was an important one. He said he supported the lot line adjustment and the changes to the parking plan. Board Member Rothenberg suggested amending the motion to give direction regarding the surface materials to show a building envelope finish consistent in character with the original approval while leaving flexibility for the applicant to come back with affordable, appropriate, long lasting, aesthetically suitable finishes at a future time. Board Member Teague accepted the amendment. President Curtis asked if the scoring of the stucco has a structural impact. Board Member Rothenberg said putting joints into stucco is labor intensive, and that stucco is not particularly long lasting, but the material has economic and thermal benefits. The motion passed 6-0. 7-C 2019-7070 Study Session to Review Proposed Text Amendments to the City of Alameda Zoning Ordinance (AMC Chapter 30) to ease restrictions on Accessory Dwelling Units, streamline Design Review for existing homes, modify the Work/Live Ordinance, and other miscellaneous administrative, technical, and clarifying amendments. The proposed amendments are exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.17 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15282(h), which exempts ordinances implementing Accessory Dwelling Unit Law (Government Code Section 65852.2), 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that the proposed zoning text amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment, and 15183, projects consistent with a community plan, general plan or zoning (Continued from Meeting of June 24, 2019) Allen Tai, Planning Services Manager, gave a presentation.
