9 Cr2- 2. Bair Island Study Area Boundaries The ordinance boundaries exclude the sites now occupied by Irvine Apartments, Kaufman & Broad and Pete's Harbor. Irvine Apartments is built-out with 155 units and a pleasure boat marina. Kaufman & Broad is built-out with 46 units. The Pete's Harbor site is zoned General Commercial - Residential Combining District. The Specific Plan could follow the boundaries of the ordinance area, but it would make sense to include all of the property on Bair Island Road, since the road will impact and be impacted by development within the study area. The Irvine Apartments, Kaufman & Broad and Pete's Harbor properties are not included in the area defined by the ordinance. According to State Code one, reason for preparing a Specific Plan is to show"... major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan, and needed to support the land uses described in the plan," For this reason, these three parcels should be included in the specific study (even though not subject to the moratorium) to insure all of the anticipated development is accounted for in the plan for the entire area (Attachment 3). 3. Bair Island Study Area Committee In an effort to provide guidance in the Specific Plan process, we would recommend that a committee be established (see Attachment 4). The proposed make-up of the committee is as follows: One Councilmember (appointed by the Mayor). One Planning Commissioner (appointed by the Chairman). One Housing and Human Concerns Committee member (appointed by the Chairman). Property owners and tenants of all properties within the study area. One representative of the Seaport Industrial Association. The staff support would come from Planning and Redevelopment, Building and Inspection, and Engineering and Construction. Joel Patterson will be Project Manager. A consulting firm will also be hired to work directly with the committee and staff to develop the Specific Plan. An agreement for consulting services will be coming to the Council as soon as a consultant is selected, and a fee negotiated, if the attached ordinance is approved by City Council tonight. There will also be input from the Police Department, because their facility is within the study area, from the Don Edwards (Bair Island) Wildlife Refuge staff, to address public access and the Bay Trail access and potentially other agencies. The meetings would be open to the public 4. Schedule Once the consultant is hired and all of the people on the committee notified, the planning process is expected to move rapidly. We are looking at four monthly work sessions where the consultants would move the group from goal setting to the recommended plan. A Council study session is planned mid-term to "check in" and provide input. A joint study session will be scheduled for December 4, 2000. 2
