PlanningBoard | 2021-03-08 | 4 | Density Bonus and was in favor of having that discussion. He asked if Alameda had a Commercial Linkage Fee and suggested doing a Nexus Study on it. Director Thomas said yes Alameda had one. Board Member Hom wanted to know if these projects could take advantage of the Density Bonus and if so, whether these units be counted towards the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Director Thomas said on that particular issue there were projects where a certain amount has been approved, then there were the areas they were upzoning and HCD says you have to have a realistic amount. Alameda Point for example there was a Navy Financial Cap, and they would max out the amount under that cap. Board Member Hom wanted to know when they might hear back from HCD. Director Thomas said he hoped to hear back from them in a month or so. President Teague suggested having four "buckets", the fourth bucket would represent the MF (multifamily) overlay which is the most politically charged item. He added that they should explore all the possible code changes to see what the potential number of units that would allow in terms of infill. He was surprised to see Coast Guard Island on the list because he didn't think that HCD would ever count that. Director Thomas agreed and said it was only on the list to remind the staff to call the Coast Guard and see if they had any plans to build housing. If they do plan on building housing they would work with HCD to count that housing. President Teague commended Board Member Hom for bringing up the 1% of the 15% in Inclusionary Housing was too small and it needs to be at least 2%. He spoke on other possible opportunities to encourage housing and added that the subcommittee (President Teague, Board Members Hom, and Cisneros) would be meeting later this month. Director Thomas said that the staff would be reaching out to the subcommittee to schedule a meeting. He gave a rundown on the issues they would be working on first. 7-B 2021-715 Public Hearing to Consider Resolutions Recommending Approval of a Tidelands Exchange and a Resolution Recommending Approval of the Amended Encinal Terminals Master Plan for the Redevelopment of the Encinal Terminals Properties (072-0382-001, 072-0382-002, and 072-0383-003) and City Tidelands Property (APN 072-0382-009) located at 1521 Buena Vista Avenue.
