PRESENTATION AND REVIEW OF SUNCAL COMPANIES REDEVELOPMENT CONCEPT PLAN FOR ALAMEDA POINT: Debbie Potter, introduced herself to the Board and gave a brief history of the last 15years of Alameda Point, the Master Developer process, the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement process, and the DDA process. She then introduced Pat Keliher from SunCal Companies for a presentation. Mr. Keliher, SunCal Companies, provided a power point presentation. The presentation (attached) included an overview of the concept development process, the concept plan, and the list of community input sessions. He explained that this presentation was one of eight feedback sessions for City of Alameda Boards and Commissions. After the presentation, he took questions from the Board. Nielsen - Is the Miracle League ball field part of this plan? Potter - No, plans for the Miracle League ballpark are part of the North Housing Coast guard parcel. Nielsen - Did you say that (25%) of the units will be affordable? Keliher - Yes. Chen - Will the affordable housing be rentals or ownership? Keliher - I think mainly rentals, but ownership is possible too. Soglin - Are there set prices for these units? And are you considering the additional costs that might impact affordability, such as homeowner association dues or other fees related to the shared amenities? Keliher - SunCal is still doing research to determine prices. As for the additional costs, we hadn't discussed that yet for the affordable units. Kieler also explained that several organizations are already providing long term affordable housing (i.e., Bessie Coleman, APC, Operation Dignity, etc.) and will at some point need to be transitioned into new facilities. They are working closely with APC for a smooth transition. Villareal - How will the parks and open space be maintained? Keliher - The plan is for fiscal neutrality. Amenities will be funded by some combination of tax increment financing, homeowners association dues, and user fees. Soglin - Will the Sports Complex be run by the Department of Recreation and Parks? Keliher - That has not been determined at this time. Soglin - (comment) When determining housing prices, will SunCal include whether they will charge a "tenant" fee for maintenance costs because this might make the affordable units not affordable. Keliher - Thank you, we will keep that in mind. Chen - Please explain the timeline of the development. | SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2008-10-23.pdf |
