184 | Board Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted this was a good report. She suggested trying to find a way to market the Point to Alameda residents so they could become familiar with the type of uses out there. She noted the need to pursue the film industry and position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities. She emphasized the community's desire for a mixed use development. Board Member Henneberry noted that a certain amount of industrial space needs to support maritime uses at the Point. He stated he supports submitting the Strategy to Council. President Zuppan stated that she agreed with other board members who didn't feel like this was a strategy, but a step in the process to develop an economic development strategy. She noted that a lot of hard choices need to be made regarding what to fund. Tenant management should also be addressed. Board Member Knox White suggested holding off the presentation of the Strategy until the new Council is seated. 7-B. Public Hearing on an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Tentative Map for 89 Lots at 1551 Buena Vista Avenue (APN72-384-21. The project was originally published as 69 lots. The Planning Board will consider approval of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Marina Cove II, 89 residential lots and a Tentative Map within the area bounded by Ohlone Street, Buena Vista Avenue, Clement Avenue and Entrance Way (currently occupied by the Chipman Company). The site is zoned R-4-PD, neighborhood residential with a Planned Development overlay. Andrew Thomas, Planning Services Manager, gave brief presentation. Board Member Ezzy Ashcraft clarified with staff that the six lots fronting Buena Vista would have access from Buena Vista via 3 shared driveways on Buena Vista and not side street access. Staff noted that that Parcel Map was approved several years ago for fewer units. Units were increased to meet the City's housing requirements. Board Member Knox White clarified with Staff that Tentative Map is establishing a Parcel 53 and that dotted lines are adjustable or not necessary if designed in a different way. Project will contain 52 single-family lots and 1 multi-family lot with up to 37 units. Board Member Köster clarified that the shared driveways are throughout the site and not just on Buena Vista. Material for 20-Foot Emergency Vehicle Access will be under future consideration. Board Member Knox White motioned to extend the meeting to 11:30. Board Member Köster seconded the motion. Motion carried, 6-0; no abstentions. Approved Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 6 November 26, 2012 |
