to the Master Plan for Alameda Marina Village." Introduced.
The Planning Director presented the background of the matter.
The Acting City Attorney stated the actions concerning Buena Vista
July 7, 1992
Avenue and Alameda Marina Village can be split; and the State law's
limit on General Plan Amendments to four per year does not apply
to Charter cities.
The Planning Director noted since the staff report was prepared,
continuing discussions were held with the Applicant [Marina
Village] and there are some wording changes to Mitigation #13 in
Attachment to Resolution to approve Negative Declaration, regarding
funding of improvements for Sherman Street, and the grade crossing
of the Belt Line; and stated the Planning Board acknowledged in
their action, that they were aware staff would continue to work
with Applicant to find the wording satisfactory to the Applicant
and so authorized staff.
Don Parker, Alameda Marina Village, made a brief [illustrated]
presentation with assistance of Ken Kay, Landscape Planner &
Architect, on the project highlights, public access improvements,
office building, and museum facility; and noted the project
provides a mechanism to fund $400,000 for off-site improvements
for Sherman Street extension of reconfiguration of Alameda Belt
Line railroad.
Councilmember Camicia moved resolution for the Negative
Declaration; commended the Marina Village project. Councilmember
Lucas seconded the motion.
President Withrow congratulated Mr. Parker and Marina Village for
retaining Ingres [Corporation] within Alameda, as it will be an
asset to the City for many years.
Councilmember Camicia stated he would stipulate his motion is for
the negative declaration "as amended."
Councilman Arnerich stated Alameda has been fortunate to have Mr.
Parker and Marina Village turn an unsightly area into a beautiful
area; and the Museum indicates commitment.
Councilmember Lucas noted Mr. Parker's predecessor John Erving in
the audience, and commended him.
The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
Councilmember Lucas moved the General Plan Amendment 92-2 [Marina
Village]. Councilman Arnerich seconded the motion which carried by
unanimous voice vote - 5.
Councilmember Lucas moved introduction of the ordinance approving
the Master Plan Amendment. Councilman Arnerich seconded the motion
which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
President Withrow noted the second half of this matter is the issue
of the Buena Vista property.
President Withrow stated the hearing for the Simas Appeal has been
July 7, 1992
closed and he has been advised by Special Counsel that the hearing
cannot be reopened.
The Acting City Attorney stated this agenda item [2329 Buena Vista]
discusses the General Plan Amendment only, not the Use Permit;
therefore public speakers may address the General Plan Amendment
but not the Use Permit.
The Planning Director commented that public notice of the combined
GPA hearing was given because the Marina Village portion had not
been previously considered; Council has heard extensive testimony
on the GPA for the Ho property and the Use Permit [June 16, 1992],
and Council closed those public hearings; City Attorney's Office
advises that Council may not reopen the public hearing (GPA for
2329 Buena Vista), however, can ask questions of representatives of
Simas and the community.
The Planning Director clarified the parameters within which the
speakers may address Council, which is the question that is before
Council on terms of the General Plan Amendment, the changing of the
designation on the General Plan Diagram from medium density
residential to community commercial.
In response to Councilman Arnerich, the Acting City Attorney stated
Attorney Logan made the decision just before the meeting.
Kent Takeda, Member, Citizens for Alameda Neighborhoods, stated
the Negative Declaration is not adequate; urged Council to deny the
General Plan Amendment.
Clyde Serda, Alameda, requested Council reconsider its intent to
approve the resolution, and follow the City's General Plan and
Planning Board's findings and recommendations.
The Planning Director explained the distinction between commercial
manufacturing and community commercial zoning.
Ruth Lafler, Chair, Citizens for Alameda Neighborhoods, stated no
studies exist to support a finding that nuisances will not occur if
this Amendment is allowed.
Noel Folsom, Alameda, stated Council's decision should be to not
amend the General Plan, or at least defer the decision until
additional information is obtained.
Don Roberts, Alameda, urged Council to not approve the General Plan
Amendment.
Linda Larkin, Alameda, [former Planning Board Member] opposed the
GPA, and stated the GPA findings are not worth discussing.
Mel Barron, Alameda, stated quality of life in neighborhood will be
affected by a car wash.
July 7, 1992
Keith Simas, Xtra Oil, favored the GPA; stated 2329 Buena Vista is
surrounded on three sides by commercial uses; the Hos [property
owners] favor the GPA.
Sue Ho, Alameda, stated Mr. Simas will speak for the Ho family.
Mr. Simas stated the General Plan speaks to improving Park Street
business district; other neighborhoods will not be placed in
jeopardy as every project comes before Council on its own merits.
Susan Correa, Alameda, stated she is not in favor of the GPA; is
concerned about neighborhoods, and requested Council stop changing
residences to commercial businesses.
Councilman Arnerich stated several reasons for his decision, and
moved "to uphold the Planning Board decision which was done and
denied, the General Plan Amendment 91-330 and Use Permit 91-330,
due to the fact the rules of evidence have not been adhered to, I
feel this motion is in order and proper, and I so move."
Councilmember Camicia stated if Councilman Arnerich will amend his
motion to include only the General Plan Amendment, as Use Permit
91-330 is the next item on the agenda, he will second the motion.
Councilman Arnerich agreed.
The motion failed by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers
Arnerich and Camicia - 2. Noes: Councilmembers Lucas, Roth and
President Withrow - 3. Absent: None.
Councilmember Lucas moved amendment of the General Plan, GPA-91-
330. Councilmember Roth seconded the motion.
The Acting City Attorney clarified which exhibits will be attached
to the amended resolution.
The Planning Director stated that Vice-Mayor Lucas's motion is to
adopt the resolution which includes the findings; Councilmember
Lucas affirmed it was so moved.
The motion was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes:
Councilmembers Lucas, Roth and President Withrow - 3. Noes:
Councilmembers Arnerich and Camicia - 2. Absent: None.
92-512 Resolution No. 12288 "Granting the Simas Appeal of the
Planning Board's Denial of UP-91-330, and Approving with Conditions
a Car Wash at the Corner of Buena Vista Avenue and Park Street."
Adopted.
Councilmember Roth discussed his interpretation of the Zoning
Ordinance with respect to the gas station, Use Permit, and car
wash; stated he would like noise limited and would like to confirm
with Mr. Takeda regarding the wall as he believes a higher wall was
desired. Mr. Takeda declined.
July 7, 1992
Councilmember Roth moved approval of car wash in the configuration
submitted by Applicant with five foot setback on property line,
landscaped, and rather than a 10 -foot fence, a minimum of 14 feet;
would like the City, after completion of project, to monitor noise
levels in two -year intervals. Following response from audience,
Roth stated to strike noise mitigation proposal from the motion.
Councilmember Lucas seconded the motion; questioned the hours of
operation.
Councilmember Roth stated the [staff] recommendation would be
followed; the site location does not need to be changed, but
approve, based on the initial revised plan and the wall be made
higher. Councilmember Lucas agreed.
The Planning Director outlined the specific changes in order to
implement the motion as moved and seconded.
Councilmember Camicia stated he understands Council is trying to
find a solution to a very difficult problem but he believes the
function of Council is to decide whether or not Planning Board made
a mistake and he does not see where they did.
Councilman Arnerich concurred with Councilmember Camicia.
The motion was carried by the following voice vote: Ayes:
Councilmembers Lucas, Roth and President Withrow - 3. Noes:
Councilmembers Arnerich and Camicia - 2. Absent: None.
92 -513 Ordinance No. 2607, N.S. "Reclassifying and rezoning certain
properties within the City of Alameda for that property located at
2300, 2304, 2306, 2308, 2309, 2311, 2312, 2314, 2315, 2316, 2317,
2318, 2319, 2320, 2323, 2324, 2325, 2328 and 2329 Eagle Avenue;
2302, 2304, 2307, 2308, 2310, 2311, 2312, 2316, 2317, 2320, 2323,
and 2327 Buena Vista Avenue; and 1714, and 1810 Oak Street.
Adopted.
The Planning Director noted Council conducted a public hearing at
the June 3rd Adjourned Regular Council Meeting on this item, which
is back before Council for a second reading.
The City Manager stated a written communication has been received
from Isabell Johnson, owner of 2315 and 2317 Eagle Avenue, who has
requested Council retain the current C -M zoning; to do that,
Council would need to delete that property from the ordinance, and
if that is done, the ordinance would be considered introduced, and
final passage would be at a following meeting.
Kent Takeda stated he believes all subject parcels should be in
conformance with the General Plan and nothing else is acceptable;
proposed Council move expeditiously for those property owners who
want their properties rezoned, and continue discussion and action
[on exceptions to the Planning Board's recommendation] until a
later date; and questioned if public hearings would be allowed at
July 7, 1992
a")
that time.
Councilmember Lucas stated, because there has been no way to
contact Ms. Johnson and she did not appear at the meeting tonight,
she [Lucas] would like to hold over the decision on Ms. Johnson's
request.
Council discussed alternatives on the handling of the matter.
Mr. Takeda confirmed he would like to reserve passage of the
exceptions as the General Plan Diagram needs to be addressed.
Councilmember Roth stated, and the Planning Director confirmed
that would come up under General Plan Amendment; and public
hearings will be held at that time.
Following further discussion Council by consensus agreed to move
ahead with the passage of final ordinance and Ms. Johnson can go
before the Planning Board if she wishes to pursue changing the
zoning back.
Councilmember Lucas moved final passage of the ordinance.
Councilmember Roth seconded the motion.
Following discussion on when the exceptions [to Planning Board's
recommendation] would be returned to Council, and the General Plan,
President Withrow inquired what the cost would be to bring in a
consultant to augment staff, since Planning Department does not
have enough staff to handle the matter at this time.
The Planning Director stated the cost would be about $2400.
Council further discussed bringing the matter back; the re-defining
of C-M zoning; the possibility of mixed use zoning.
President Withrow requested the City Manager look into hiring a
consultant to expedite the review of the exceptions.
Councilmember Roth added, if that is to be done, he would like some
alternative zoning classification that is more compatible.
The motion was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
Mel Barron, Alameda, thanked Council for approving the ordinance;
and stated commercial usage is governed by the parking that can be
furnished.
92-514 Report from Finance Director transmitting City Treasurer's
City of Alameda Investment Policy and Guidelines for 1992-93.
Charles Millman, Alameda, stated he is speaking on 92-515 and this
item, is appalled at misuse of [United States] flag; City has
almost $41,000,000 in investment portfolio and liquid cash of about
$6,000,000; and cutting staff and services is ridiculous.
July 7, 1992
Councilmember Lucas stated Mr. Millman's reference to the flag was
the lowering of the flag because of the State budget situation; and
she supported the action.
Councilman Arnerich stated he concurred with lowering the flag at
the request of the League of California Cities; a change has been
made to raise American flag to full mast and the California and
Alameda flags to half mast.
Councilmember Camicia moved acceptance of the report.
Councilmember Roth seconded the motion which carried by unanimous
voice vote - 5.
92-515 Report from City Manager requesting Council Guidance related
to the June 17, 1992 recommendations from the Finance Committee on
appropriation reductions and revenue alternatives designed to help
bail out the State of California.
Richard Rudloff, Alameda, urged Council approve a Finance Committee
recommendation to impose business tax on owners of single family
dwellings [rentals).
Councilmember Roth stated Alameda collects about $11,000,000 in
property tax; the State is considering taking half of that amount;
suggested going to the people for a parcel tax of $11,000,000, and
the [property] tax rate be changed to zero or one penny so there
would be no property tax in the City and the State could not take
$5,000,000 from the City; he would like staff to look at that.
Councilman Arnerich inquired if [report] Exhibit A, three pages of
sample language for ballot measure, would go on the ballot.
The Acting City Attorney stated language could be attached to
advisory vote measure, or staff could simplify and ask more general
questions.
Councilmember Camicia stated people will not understand this is an
advisory vote but will assume this is a measure to raise taxes; and
believes Council should wait for the State budget to determine what
services will be affected.
The City Manager stated the City Clerk has indicated the measure
must go to the County by August 7th; Council may direct staff to
simplify measure, make it advisory or implement the tax, and bring
it to Council August 4th, assuming the State has a budget and that
it affects Alameda.
Councilman Arnerich stated he agreed with Councilmember Camicia
regarding how the people would view the measure, and wants to wait
until August 4th.
President Withrow stated he supported the idea of an advisory vote
but is having second thoughts because, if the voters turn the
measure down, and Council sees that Police cannot be put on the
July 7, 1992
street, Council must do whatever is necessary to maintain
neighborhood services and carry out responsibilities as
Councilmembers.
Councilman Arnerich inquired if the matter could be brought back in
July; and the City Manager replied, staff could simplify language,
bring back to Council [July 21] for approval, and the matter could
be agendized as a resolution on August 4th.
Councilmember Roth stated he would like his property tax proposal
brought back; City Manager stated perhaps Acting City Attorney
should be given a little more time to work on matter.
President Withrow stated eliminating Council benefits [Finance
Committee recommendation] has been discussed for some time;
concerning eliminating Auditor and Treasurer benefits and salary,
those cannot be taken away. The City Manager stated that could be
put on the ballot; and President Withrow stated that makes sense
during a budget crunch.
Councilmember Roth stated he would support charging the business
license fees for the single family rentals.
Councilmember Lucas stated she is opposed to eliminating Council
benefits. Councilman Arnerich stated he is also.
Councilmember Lucas explained she is opposed because of discrepancy
between what Council receives and people that report to Council
[receive]; and loss of health insurance benefit may eliminate a
segment of the population, e.g., very-low income people, from
running for office.
Councilmember Camicia stated he would like to defer action until
State budget is determined.
Councilmember Roth stated eliminating elected Auditor makes logical
sense whether City has a budget crunch or not; that could be
reviewed.
Councilmember Lucas agreed.
Councilmember Camicia stated Auditor and Treasurer benefits and
salary can be eliminated, but the positions should be kept in
Charter.
Councilmember Roth reiterated the [charging business license fees
"for] single family rentals could be brought back.
President Withrow discussed collecting franchise fees for cable
services to the Naval Air Station (NAS) with the City Manager and
Acting City Attorney and requested the matter be reviewed.
Councilmember Roth stated [Utility Users Tax on] out-of-state
telephone calls should be brought back.
July 7, 1992
Councilmember Camicia stated he is in favor of only one item and
that is raising the Cigarette tax; he would like to wait on
everything else.
President Withrow stated he is convinced Council must get on with
the process; if $5,000,000 is taken from the City, it will be
retroactive and Council must do its homework.
President Withrow stated he would like those items in which Council
has indicated an interest, brought back and addressed in depth, an
assessment by staff, not necessarily a resolution but a review.
The City Manager clarified [items to be brought back July 21]:
cigarette tax, business license for single family rentals,
increasing fees for apartments, imposition of utility users tax for
out-of-state calls and the franchise fee for United Cable for
information only; and wait on the municipal parcel services tax,
and elected Auditor and Treasurer position elimination until August
4th.
Councilman Arnerich so moved "that recommendation." Councilmember
Roth seconded the motion which carried by the following voice vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Arnerich, Lucas, Roth and President Withrow -
4. Noes: Councilmember Camicia - 1. Absent: None.
Councilman Arnerich noted he would like the entire package (Exhibit
C) [Revenue Alternatives] brought back.
President Withrow stated he would like the package brought back and
Council review business license fee survey to perhaps bring [fee]
into line with surrounding areas.
* * * *
Councilman Arnerich moved to extend the meeting past 11:00 p.m.
Councilmember Lucas seconded the motion which carried by unanimous
voice vote - 5.
92-516 Report from Public Works Director regarding authorization to
amend the contract with AC Transit to provide a funding offset for
modified service reductions.
Councilmember Roth moved acceptance of the recommendation.

to finalize a recommendation on a financing plan and prepare
enabling legislation to implement program]. Councilmember Lucas
seconded the motion which carried by the following voice vote:

Councilmember Roth inquired if the Library could qualify for [grant
funding].
The City Manager replied only schematics are available;
authorization by Council was not given for plans.
President Withrow inquired if Americans with Disabilities Act is an
unfunded mandate and City Manager confirmed it is.
Following brief discussion with Public Works Director concerning
project funding, Councilmember Lucas moved recommendation.
Councilman Arnerich seconded the motion which carried by unanimous
voice vote - 5.
92-519 Resolution No. 12289 "Resolution of Intention to approve an
Amendment to Contract between the Board of Administration of the
Public Employees' Retirement System and the City Council of the
City of Alameda." Adopted.
Marie Stahowski, Alameda City Employees Association, raised
questions; the City Manager and Personnel Director explained the
Golden Handshake, noted three persons who would be eligible and
meet all the qualifications; and Ms. Stahowski recommended Council
support the Golden Handshake and stated the "2% at 55" [benefit] is
an even better idea.
Councilmember Roth moved adoption. Councilmember Camicia seconded
the motion which was carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.

work with Housing Authority and perhaps come up with some funding.
Reverend Williams explained needs, described program activities and
goals; and submitted a petition in support of the program.

Councilman Arnerich agreed and stated for thorough analysis and
recommendation to Council.
Councilmember Lucas stated Reverend Williams is making a very good
suggestion.
