Minutes 3 October 30, 1991 Joint Work Session City Council/Redevelopment Agency/ Planning Commission/Board of Zoning Adjustments in lieu of a park. Mr. O'Banion responded by stating that the proposed plan could be revised to reflect housing use and noted that the City is not changing the zoning or land use designations for the site by adopting the proposed corridor plan. Mayor Karp expressed his appreciation for Mrs. Moutinho's efforts to provide low- cost senior housing. • Renie Bartolini inquired about the Redevelopment Agency's property acquisition policy. Bill Rugg explained the policy and that the proposed corridor plan is not a property acquisition instrument. Larry Lancaster of Peralta Creek Tower objected to development of the Corporation yard site for low-income rental housing. Lyle Snyder of Lyru Engineering on San Leandro Boulevard expressed concerns about . the potential impact of the plan on project affordability and the financial capability of the private sector to comply with Agency requirements. Bill Rugg responded and stated he would call Mr. Snyder the following day. Al Plute inquired if the corridor plan could prevent the use of property. Bill Rugg explained that the plan does not create any new authority nor does it control the future use of land. Mr. Rugg stated that the existing redevelopment plan does control uses and development. Doug Federighi , Federighi and Company, inquired as to what documents govern land uses. Mr. Rugg stated that land use is regulated by the redevelopment plan and that the proposed urban design plan is advisory only and does not bind the Council , Agency or Planning Commission in their respective decision-making processes. Al Rosenga stated his concern that the proposed plan may be misinterpreted by the implementors and may not really reflect what citizens desire for the area. Mayor Karp explained briefly events leading to the formulation of the plan - the Council , Agency and Planning Commission need a guide for future development. Bill Rugg requested guidance regarding further review of the corridor plan and informal or formal adoption process by Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Adjustmentss, Council and Agency. He recommended an informal approval or adoption process because of the advisory nature of the document and the need to keep the plan flexible to accommodate future changes should the need arise and circumstances change.
