PlanningBoard | 2019-07-08 | 9 | Board Member Cavanaugh asked who is responsible for enforcing the commercial nature of the units. Staff Member Thomas said that there is only one place currently operating work live units in Alameda. He said there is an annual check on business licenses. Board Member Teague said that it needs to not be residential if it is not going to comply with Measure A. He said including the living, kitchen and bath in the 30% requirement will ensure these are not just housing units. Board Member Hom asked what the parking requirements are for retail areas. Staff Member Tai said that Park Street and Webster Street require two parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of retail space, and four spaces per 1,000 square feet elsewhere. Board Member Hom said that might incentivize people to classify their operations as work- live to reduce their parking requirements. Board Member Curtis opened the public hearing. Eileen Devlin requested that ADUs allow the full use of the basement in the home instead of limiting it to only 50% of the size of the primary unit. Christopher Buckley, AAPS, highlighted portions of their letter regarding window replacement procedures. He suggested potentially using a minor design review process, or administrative appeals. He said the street side lot requirements need to be clarified. He said the text needs to be modified to allow single glazed windows. He said they are concerned about removing the owner-occupied requirements for ADUs. Board Member Curtis closed the public hearing. Board Member Teague reiterated that the definitions do not address the street issue and needs to be corrected. 8.
