Regular Meeting 8 Alameda City Council April 15, 2008 The Planning Services Manager responded in the affirmative; stated the proposed condition is in conformance with the California Department of Fish and Game guidelines and criteria. Councilmember Matarrese stated the site renderings do not show any trees between the walking and gravel paths and water; currently, trees are between the path and the water; inquired whether the trees would be removed.

Mayor Johnson inquired whether the access road would be closed. The Applicant responded in the negative; stated the road is required to remain open; the access road would be built to a minimum twenty -five foot width. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether any Home Owner Associations signed agreements. The Applicant responded dialogue was initiated with Home Owner Association managers in October; Bay Colony and Freeport Board representatives informed him that notices were placed in respective newsletters to advise people about the meetings; tonight's issues were not brought up at the meetings. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the Home Owner Associations signed off on approving the conditions with caveats. The Applicant responded said Associations advised that the conditions were acceptable through email acknowledgements. Councilmember deHaan stated the property is very unique and the access road is not conducive to traffic flow; the Ferry is very important; parking is approximately 90% full at the Ferry Terminal; the Ferry capacity is only at 500; shuttle service is very important; he would have liked to have the Transportation Commission's input; things have changed from when entitlements were established twenty years ago; traffic impacts should be reviewed; segments have been reviewed, but not the whole picture; he is very Regular Meeting 9 Alameda City Council April 15, 2008 concerned with the Ferry service, which is only used during commute hours; inquired whether there is a willingness to look at another design; stated the 300 foot notification requirement is an internal problem; said notification needs to be changed for large projects; the 100 foot height limit needs to be taken off the books; further discussion is needed on the matter. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the traffic study was based on the 5 million square foot build -out. The Planning Services Manager responded two studies were performed; stated the original study addressed the 5.2 million square foot build -out; last month, an additional study was performed to confirm that the project's trip generation would not generate any significant impacts that were not anticipated in the original traffic study. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the 1995 study was related to the airport, to which the Planning Services Manager responded said study was related to airport expansion. Councilmember Matarrese stated that traffic management needs to be reviewed for the existing roads; some of the main concerns have been captured with the three additional conditions of approval; requested that fast food restaurant language be added; stated that due process has been followed; he understood that all Harbor Bay Home Owner Associations were supposed to be notified; inquired whether said notification is required. The Planning Services Manager responded in the negative; stated all Home Owner Association Presidents will receive notification for any future Harbor Bay projects. Vice Mayor Tam stated assertions have been made regarding the staleness of the 1989 Environmental Impact Report; SRM's attorneys state that "the City no longer has the discretion to take a second pass at the question of whether the project should be built due to potential impacts to wildlife, traffic generation, noise, site design and layout or ay other impacts unrelated to the narrow question of the Esplanade project's consistency with the Planned Development Design Guidelines and conditions of approval "; efforts are being made to review all past approvals, not redesign the project from scratch. The City Attorney stated a major design review is one of the things before Council tonight; Council still has some discretion on how the buildings look, i.e., color and material composition; the chapter is closed on density and building height issues. Regular Meeting 10 Alameda City Council April 15, 2008 Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether building setbacks are already determined by the Agreement, to which the City Attorney responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson inquired whether Council has the ability to change the 100 -foot building height limit, to which The Planning Services Manager responded in the negative. Councilmember Gilmore inquired whether the building setbacks could be moved back, to which the Planning Services Manager responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Gilmore stated the project is subject to a past Development Agreement; the City wants to be known as an entity that keeps its word, just as the City would hold a developer to the letter of an agreement; bringing jobs and tax revenue to the City is good; both sides will not be completely happy because of competing interests such as setbacks, access road, and building materials; the Ferry Terminal parking is an issue whether or not the development is built; she is not sure why the Ferry Terminal parking problem should be off - loaded on the developer. Councilmember Matarrese suggested having a second directive to review restriping the Ferry Terminal parking lot; stated Bay Farm Island was designed as a fully integrated community when developed into Harbor Bay; the area was designed with bike paths and with the intention to have the area built all the way as business; the benefits provide employment of a low intensity around the edge of the Business Park; the parcel is buffered by a lagoon and trees; the houses to the west are buffered by the Ferry Terminal; the design is compatible with the other buildings in the Business Park; the closest building has the same motif; the objective is to produce an environmentally friendly construction approach that reduces carbon footprint and benefits the City; the City also benefits from diversifying the tax base; the benefits outweigh the concerns; the area has been enjoyed as open space but has always been posted as private property, and zoned as commercial property. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of upholding the Planning Board's decision [adoption of resolutions] with the following changes: 1) addition of the three conditions provided by staff regarding parking, restaurant use and biology; 2) addition of a condition to require that the transportation demand plan include how to maximize use of Harbor Bay and Ron Cowan Parkways; and 3) addition of a condition that the restaurant use prohibits a drive thru and includes a definition of fast food. Regular Meeting 1 1 Alameda City Council April 15, 2008 Mayor Johnson stated direction could be given to staff to come up with a fast food restaurant definition. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he wants to have a definition that has been used someplace else and that could be used for the purpose of the proposed development. Mayor Johnson stated that San Francisco's definition should be used if said definition meets the City's intention. Vice Mayor Tam stated that she wants to make sure that the definition is consistent with part of the motion; inquired whether a fast food restaurant would be defined as a fast food chain restaurant that has more than fifteen other locations. The Planning Services Manager responded in the negative; stated the San Francisco definition would be utilized. Vice Mayor Tam inquired whether restaurant or cafe hours of operation would stay, to which Councilmember Matarrese responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Gilmore stated hours of operation trigger a Use Permit. Councilmember Matarrese stated hours of operation trigger a Use Permit which goes through a normal public hearing process; a prohibited fast food chain would not trigger a Use Permit. The Applicant stated that Peet's Coffee could be deemed a fast food restaurant; inquired how the negotiating process would work if there are issues. Mayor Johnson stated the intent is to direct staff to add the additional language and approve the project going forward. The Planning Services Manager stated the Applicant could always come back to Council and request modification of the conditions. Vice Mayor Gilmore inquired whether Council could urge SRM to work with the Home Owner Associations to put heads and resources together to extend the shuttle throughout the residences; stated Council could require the developer to talk with said associations but not put the entire bill on the developer. Councilmember deHaan stated the restaurant location is concerning; hopes are to have Ferry riders stop for a cup of coffee; Ferry riders barely make it in time to board; restaurants demand more Regular Meeting 12 Alameda City Council April 15, 2008 parking; he would like to re -think having a restaurant near the Ferry Terminal. The Applicant stated attracting restaurants to the Business Park has been a real challenge; current cafes operate between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and are struggling; the Ferry Terminal location represents a better opportunity to get traffic and be successful. Councilmember Gilmore stated Condition #30 addresses the Transportation System Management and existing shuttle service for the Business Park; inquired whether additional language could be added to reach out to the Harbor Bay Home Owner Associations in an attempt to pull resources to get a shuttle system working around the residences. The Applicant stated that the shuttle service is operated and paid for by Business Park owners; he does not have the ability to obligate expanding the shuttle service to residents; he would be happy to discuss the idea with residents in his role as President of the Business Park. Councilmember Gilmore stated that she is not requesting the Applicant to obligate the Business Park to provide shuttle service; she is obligating the Applicant to have a dialogue. Mayor Johnson stated that Councilmember Matarrese requested that the matter to brought to the Interagency Liaison Committee (ILC). Councilmember Matarrese stated that the Business Park is responsible for shuttle service as a mitigation of the traffic created; the residential side has no such vehicle; the matter is a City issue; the City should coordinate an effort that brings the Harbor Bay community and Business Park together to discuss shuttle service; language should be crafted to prohibit fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Burger King, etc. Councilmember deHaan stated that the project blessing is that employees could live in the area. Councilmember Matarrese stated residents could either take the shuttle or bicycles. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the ferry terminal has bike parking, to which the Applicant responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember deHaan stated the restaurant is his Regular Meeting 13 Alameda City Council April 15, 2008 only concern. The Planning Services Manager stated a Conditional Use Permit would provide the ability to review the issue on a case -by -case basis. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the shuttle service issue is off the table and will be handled by the City. Mayor Johnson responded the City will work with Harbor Bay Home Owner Associations. Councilmember deHaan stated that the 100 -foot height limit needs to be addressed. Mayor Johnson stated that the 100 -foot height limit is a Disposition and Development Agreement issue. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Gilmore, Matarrese, Tam and Mayor Johnson - 4. Abstentions: Councilmember deHaan - 1. Councilmember deHaan stated that he hopes that the City will be able to review the architectural work to see if some of the buildings can be staggered; he thinks that there is room for further review.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS (08 -167) Mayor Johnson announced that she attended the Mayor's Conference in January. (08 -168) Councilmember Matarrese stated AC Transit provided a report on the 63 line at the most recent Interagency Liaison Committee (ILC) meeting; the changes have been made at the Encinal and Monarch end of the route; AC Transit will have to wait to gather data in the fall because school will be out and data would be skewed; data to analyze the re- routing decision will not be Regular Meeting 14 Alameda City Council April 15, 2008 available until November or December. (08 -169) Vice Mayor Tam stated that she has an ILC question related to Item 5 -C; inquired whether AC Transit is looking at increasing ridership at Harbor Bay; stated having a shuttle system when AC Transit already goes to the ferry terminal seems duplicative. Councilmember Matarrese stated the City needs to talk to AC Transit about the matter; the Emery -Go -Round directly conflicted with Line 6; there was a tug -of -war that ended with AC Transit withdrawing some service from Emeryville. Vice Mayor Tam inquired whether Councilmember Matarrese plans to bring up the issue at an ILC meeting, to which Councilmember Matarrese responded in the affirmative. Councilmember deHaan stated the shuttle is already in the commercial area, which is to the City's benefit.
