PlanningBoard | 2021-12-13 | 7 | Vice President Ruiz was concerned with the speed with which this was going through and thought it needed further review. She recommend making the text more in line with state law. Board Member Teague was in favor of moving this forward but with substantial changes and he agreed with Vice President Ruiz that the text should be more in line with SB-9. He also recommended that the use needed to be very clear, this was just for Residential Use. He discussed the other changes he would make to move this forward. Board Member Hom agreed with most of Board Member Teague's comments. He did recommend that how many units were allowed on a lot be clarified. He also agreed about the language being as close to the law as possible. Board Member Cisneros wanted to know what would happen if they took no action. Director Thomas explained the process if the council did not adopt anything in January. Board Member Curtis said he could not accept the part of the Resolution dealing with Home Occupations, he believed that those should have Use Permit. He also believed that neighbors should have a say in what goes into their neighborhoods. President Saheba continued the conversation about the 1200 sq ft parameter. He was in support of eliminating the 1200 sq ft threshold to allow for more flexibility. There was a discussion about appropriate Permitted Usage and street access for the parcel. Board Member Teague made a motion to recommend to the City Council that they adopt the resolution regarding SB-9, excluding all of the changes related to "Permitted Usage" and the changes to definitions. They must clarify the use of the words "alteration" and "demolition". They should replace the section referring to Alameda's specific Rental Code with the language from SB-9. They would also clarify which Permitted Usage was considered Residential and Non-residential. The access to the split lot needed to be a combined pedestrian and vehicle access. They would not modify Alameda's ADU ordinance and leave it as is. Also, setbacks must be clarified and in compliance. The building of a 1 family dwelling is a minimum of 800 sq. ft to equal in size to the other unit and the 1600 sq. ft limit be the limit as to the existing unit. Board Member Curtis seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed 6-1 with Board Member Hom voting against. 7-B 2021-1558 Objective Design Review Standards for One- and Two-Family Dwellings.
