Vice President Ezzy Ashcraft disclosed she visited the property. She requested the applicant explain the environmentally friendly aspects of the project.

The applicant explained that he requested design review approval prior to applying for the subdivision to ensure the design was acceptable to the City.

PlanningBoard/2008-10-27.pdf,3 | PlanningBoard | 2008-10-27 | 3 | Representatives from the SunCal Company presented their Preliminary Development Concept for Alameda Point. Individual Planning Board members passed on the following comments and questions to SunCal. No action was taken on the proposal. The Redevelopment Concept Plan is a good conceptual plan for Alameda Point and is well done. The Plan should include design principles about the importance of waterfront design to create a vital, safe, and pedestrian friendly waterfront. The Plan does a good job of addressing the need for density and the diversity of housing. The Plan sets very high expectations, and SunCal needs to be careful about setting expectations that may not be realistic. SunCal should not "over promise, and under deliver". The phasing of the schools may need to be moved up earlier in the phasing schedule to accommodate. The analysis of the school needs should consider the currently vacant Miller School, which is in the neighborhood. There is a definite need for a library in the project. The analysis of civic facilities should consider a larger area than just Alameda Point. For example, the College of Alameda has a track that is not always available to the community. The Miller School site may be an appropriate location for a new school serving the west end and Alameda Point. Co-locating of public facilities such as libraries with schools will increase the availability for State grant funds for libraries and schools. Given that the Sports Complex and the entire northern edge of the site will be in an area that is not protected from floods and adjacent to a shoreline, which may fail in a major disaster, the financial plan should include funds to rebuild public facilities that are damaged in a flood or major disaster. The plan should include a phasing schedule for the adaptive reuse area that is coordinated with the phasing for the rest of the project. The open space needs to be provided with each phase of the development. The phasing schedule should ensure that there is no net loss of playing fields for socc… | PlanningBoard/2008-10-27.pdf |
PlanningBoard/2008-10-27.pdf,4 | PlanningBoard | 2008-10-27 | 4 | definition about when certain improvements will be constructed and who will pay for them. The Transportation Plan needs to be "front loaded" with "Day One" improvements to the maximum extent feasible. The BRT proposal could become very controversial given what has occurred recently in Berkeley and Oakland with AC Transit's BRT proposal. Regarding the phasing of the Ferry Terminal relocation, increasing the frequency of ferry service from the Main Street Terminal earlier in the phases may be more important than relocating the terminal to the Seaplane Lagoon in the earlier phases. A copy of the presentation should be made available on the City Website. 4. MINUTES: Minutes from the meeting of July 14, 2008 (continued from October 13, 2008).
