PlanningBoard | 2021-12-13 | 5 | ideas suggested by Director Wooldridge. He was supportive of giving the developer more time. Board Member Teague made a motion to approve to strike out the sentence of timing for Design Review and to give the developer more time to consider Community Space or Mixed-Use. The developer would work with City Staff to consider other alternative uses for the space. Board Member Cisneros seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. 7-A 2021-1557 Public hearing to consider amending Alameda Municipal Code Chapter 30 (Development Regulations) Section 30-4.1, R-1, One-Family Residence District, and 30-2 Definitions to bring the R-1 regulations into compliance with State Law and implement Senate Bill 9. The proposed text amendments are exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to SB 9, which states that an action by a local agency to adopt an ordinance to implement the provisions of SB 9 shall not be considered a project under Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code. Director Thomas gave a presentation.

Board Member Hom asked if there was language that addressed the maximum of 4 units allowed. He also had questions about the 1200sqft maximums and if someone wanted to go above that limit. He also had questions about setbacks and wanted clarification on what an Urgency Ordinance meant. He also wanted the staff's opinion on what "condo standards" meant. Board Member Teague discussed what the current ADU law allowed and what language they could add to make it clearer. Director Thomas explained the process if someone wanted a larger unit. He also explained the need and process for an Urgency Ordinance. Both Director Thomas and Staff Member Tia discussed how "condo standards" were interpreted by the staff and the law. Board Member Rothenberg wanted to know how this would apply to historic buildings, the rule about renting and managing setbacks. Director Thomas explained how state law addressed setbacks and that staff would be working on a Short Term Rental Ordinance.
