RecreationandParkCommission | 2006-09-14 | 4 | coming into Alameda through the tube, turn right. Either a hairpin turn to Pasta Pelican or you could turn right and come in Tinker Avenue. Commissioner Cooper asked if there would be any direct access from Mitchell/Mosely to Webster. Mr. Knopf stated no. Any through traffic would have to circle around. Commissioner Cooper asked about parking. Mr. Knopf stated that Catellus has accepted a limitation from the Planning Board in that there will be no more than 250 parking spaces without being broken up by something like a bioswale. SSM Krause asked what was the retail vision. Mr. Knopf stated stores like the Z-Gallery or Best Buy (mid-size retailers). Restaurants (5,000 sq. ft.) like PF Chang that will not compete with Webster St. or commercial districts. Catellus developed a Memorandum of Understanding with WABA to limit the small size shop space so as not to compete with Webster St. Vice Chair Kahuanui clarified that the change would put in 300 residential units, 300,000 square feet of retail and retain 400,000 square feet of office space. Mr. Knopf stated yes. Vice Chair Kahuanui stated that in the approved plan it includes 9.2 acres of waterfront park. Mr. Knopf stated with the change, it would be a minimum of 8 acres of waterfront park. This is due to the ability of adaptively reusing some of the existing buildings that are right on the waterfront. Again, there would be a minimum of 8 acres of open space. Chair Ingram asked if we are within the National Park and Recreation ratio of open space to residents when it is a mixed use site. Are we within the standard? Mr. Knopf stated that he was not sure but that the Bayport development was within the ratio and that this project adds to that ratio. Chair Ingram stated that he wanted to get away from the 1/2 acre parks. Mr. Knopf stated that plans for development would begin in December 2006/January 2007, demolition would begin in March 2007, and meet Cliff Bars time table of moving in August 2008. The group will be coming back to the Recreation and Park Commission with an Open Space plan with the first phase development plan. B.
