File Number: 18-126 <br />Board/Commission Review and Actions <br />The BZA reviewed the Project at its regular meeting held on January 4, 2018. During the meeting, <br />two residents spoke in support of the Project, six residents spoke in opposition to the Project <br />(including the appellant), and one person currently residing on the subject property had concerns <br />about displacement. The applicant addressed displacement concerns during the hearing with a <br />program to provide the current residents of the proposed property to be demolished with priority <br />housing in the new development. Residents who spoke in opposition to the Project primarily had <br />concerns with parking. The parking standards for this Project are regulated under State law, <br />which establishes a ratio of 0.5 spaces per dwelling unit for qualifying affordable housing projects <br />such as the Parrot Street Apartments. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Board approved <br />the Site Plan Review by a 4-0 decision with one abstention. <br />Prior City Council Actions <br />On January 8, 2018, the City Council approved a $1 million development loan to Eden Housing, <br />Inc., for the proposed Parrot Street Apartments affordable rental housing development. The City <br />Council also approved allocation of $4 million of the City’s share of County A-1 Bond proceeds to <br />the Parrot Street Apartments along with a joint application with Eden Housing for the highly <br />competitive State Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program for development <br />and related bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure funding, including Class IV protected bicycle lanes. <br />Summary of Public Outreach Efforts <br />This appeal hearing was noticed in the same manner as the prior BZA public hearing, including a <br />legal advertisement in the East Bay Times - Daily Review newspaper, the posting of placards on <br />the subject property, and mailing notifications to property owners and businesses within a <br />500-foot radius of the subject property as well as the Peralta Citizens Association.
