TransportationCommission | 2006-02-22 | 6 | Commissioner Knoth moved that the TC is concerned with the consistency of the DEIR recommendations with the wording 4.1.C of the 1990 General Plan, "Do not increase through- traffic capacity on the Main Island". Commissioner Krueger seconded. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote - 5. Commissioner Krueger moved that the TC would like the language clarified to point out that although desirable pedestrian and bicycle access through the belt line is not a substitute for pedestrian and bicycle access on Atlantic. Commissioner Parker seconded. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote - 5. Commissioner Parker moved that the TC recommends that the Tilden-Clement connection is extremely important to assure the success of the development of the Northern Waterfront under this GPA. Commissioner Knoth seconded. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote - 5. Commissioner Krueger noticed that there was a mentioned on page 30 of using developer fees on Broadway/5th Street and Jackson, but no mention of using them to pay for the extension of Clement for Tilden. Staff Thomas said that it's not the additional traffic generated by the redevelopment of the Northern Waterfront. The issue is that much of the traffic would be shifted from other streets, so the development cannot be required to pay for the improvements. He noted that all new development in Alameda pays Citywide Development Fees (CDF). The impact fees are directed to improvements at specific locations. Public Works is doing an update of the Citywide Fees to determine the most important projects to be funded. Staff Thomas stated that since the funds are not currently in place yet for the Clement-to-Tilder connection, the DEIR recommends that it be included in the General Plan. Commissioner Krueger moved that given the importance of the Tilden/Clement connection, the TC recommends to the City Council to direct staff to prioritize the connection and to identify the funding to make it happen. Commissioner Parker seconded. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote - 5. Chair Knox White asked for the GPA to come back to the TC in March in order to look review their previous comments on the General Plan Amendment. 9. ADJOURNMENT Meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. G:\pubworks\LT\TRANSPORTATIONICOMMITTEES\TC\2006/0306/022206 tc minutes-FINAL.doc 6 | TransportationCommission/2006-02-22.pdf |
