PlanningBoard | 2021-01-25 | 7 | President Teague brought up the site law change and wanted to know how that would affect the sites in Alameda and the ability to build there. Director Thomas explained that sites need to be available and zoned appropriately. If there is a constraint that prevents the site from being developed, it has to be disclosed. He explained more about why the state changed this law and how this will make sure sites get developed promptly. President Teague suggested opting into the AB-352 Efficiency Unit Law. He also discussed ways to get Alameda's Affordable Housing units up. Director Thomas discussed how difficult it is for a city to build affordable housing because Alameda relies on the private sector to build housing. Board Member Curtis suggested that if older buildings did not have historical value then it would make more economic sense to raze those buildings and build a new unit than to rehabilitate those older buildings for higher density. He of course wanted to protect historical homes but that could be an idea to explore. 8. MINUTES 8-A 2021-572 Draft Meeting Minutes - October 26, 2020 Board Member Hom wanted to change the wording in his statement under Agenda item 7-C, the wording should be improved instead of approved.

A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. 8-B 2021-573 Draft Meeting Minutes - November 9, 2020 Board Member Hom corrected Agenda item 7-A, his statement should have said phrasing.

Board Member Hom made a motion to approve the minutes with these corrections. Board Member Curtis seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0.
