PlanningBoard | 2020-11-23 | 8 | Board Member Hom asked what level of occupancy are you expecting for this restaurant and how would they accommodate the parking. Mr. Cukierman said they would be encouraging biking, walking, and rideshares. They chose this location because of the bike path, and there is a bus stop nearby. Board Member Hom asked the applicant if they had considered an incentive program. Mr. Cukierman answered they had not and that people tend to not drive anyway since they would be drinking. He said it could be a possibility when they first open to get people used to not wanting to drive to the location. Board Member Hom asked if they had looked into shared parking with nearby locations. Mr. Cukierman said they had not. Vice President Saheba asked how they generated the number of bike spaces they were providing. Mr. Cukierman said they had a TDM analysis done by a third party and that was the number they reported. Vice President Saheba asked since they called this a "green project" what sustainability features would they be proposing for this project. Mr. Cukierman said they would be using reclaimed wood but that most of the green details would come with engineering and next steps. Mr. Waterman added that they would want to make this project as efficient as possible. They would push the green features as much as possible, they had just not gotten to that development of the project yet. Vice President Saheba asked if the connections to the Cross Alameda Trail had been approved yet. Staff Member Sablan answered that specifics hadn't been approved but that Public Works is a part of the Design Review and it's not going to be a problem. Board Member Cisneros asked for clarification on granting a variance. President Teague explained the criteria for granting a variance. Director Thomas added by explaining the ways to reduce parking requirements. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 8 of 15 November 23, 2020 | PlanningBoard/2020-11-23.pdf |
