PlanningBoard | 2019-09-23 | 5 | Board Member Hom suggested changing the language from "conference oriented hotel" to something more clear, such as "business hotel," or just "hotel." Board Member Teague suggested that the wording be changed to "hotels" since there are multiple hotels in the business park. He said he would accept Board Member Hom's suggestion as an amendment. Staff Member Tai said he understands the direction and will reach out to the subject property owner before the Planning Board recommendation proceeds to the City Council for final approval. The motion passed 7-0. 7-B 2019-7269 Adoption of Objective Design Review Standards for Multi-family Residential Development as an addendum to the Citywide Design Review Manual. These Standards are applicable to all future multi-family residential development in the City seeking permit streamlining pursuant to state law. The adoption of Objective Design Review Standards is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that adoption of design standards will not have a significant effect on the environment, and Section 15183, projects consistent with a community plan, general plan or zoning (Continued from the Planning Board Meeting of 9/9/2019) Board Member Teague made a motion to change this item to be a study session. Board Member Ruiz seconded the motion. The motion passed 7-0. Staff Member Tai gave a presentation. The staff report and attachments can be found at: ttps://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4134326&GUID=60800532- E1D6-4287-9C21-2D080937440A&FullText=1 Board Member Ruiz asked what would happen if a developer came in with an SB35 application before the objective standards are adopted. Staff Member Tai said he would point them to the documents the City has already adopted. He said the difficulty would be identifying which standards were objective, and that it would leave the door open for the developer to object and say "these aren't objective standards." Board Member Teague asked hypothetically how these standards would apply to the Alameda Marina application or other projects that have been approved. He speculated that we would have to apply them to every project. Staff Member Tai said those other projects are not asking for SB35 streamlining and ministerial review and are subject to the normal design review process.
