78 Page 3 Staff and the consultant team prepared and recommended Alternative 7 (Seaport Expansion, Resource, and Public Recreation) as a response to Planning Commission direction and public comments for an alternative including development which could potentially meet the performance standards (e.g. as opposed to an alternative including residential development which cannot be supported absent a verified, new water supply). Many other criteria formed the recommendation, including most significantly, the consideration of the City's housing needs obligation and capacity for housing on infill sites downtown and along primary corridors which were extensively studied as focus areas, and are within the means of the City's projected water supply. As staff summed up to the Commission: The Cargill Saltworks property is not needed to fulfill state housing allocations projected into the future. TABLE ONE: Ba ront Land Use Alternatives - Focus on Car ill Saltworks Pro e Alternative Date Presented Deseri tlon Urban Reserve and Open Space . There are two existing land use designations. Urban Reserve is land preserved for future use to expand the limits of the urbanized area of the City. Open Space is land which is essentially unimproved and is devoted to the preservation of natural resources. . These land use categories allow continued salt crystallization and are compatible with Tidal Plain Zoning and existing Williamson Act contracts which acknowledge the land use as related to a riculture and conservation. "Resource" - Bair Island Road Neighborhood Expansion and Resource Management . Docktown incorporated into Bair Island Neighborhood . Salt crystallizers designated as "resources" . Industrial land uses left intact . Mixed-use fer and marina lannin areas established Regional Commercial Recreation Facility . Recreational uses such as stadium, olf course, auto racin ,etc. Seaport Expansion with Office Technology Emphasis . Office and technolo land uses ex anded alon Sea ort Boulevard Seaport Expansion with Port-related Emphasis . Port related land uses expanded along Seaport Blvd. . Office and technolo land uses ex anded alon Sea ort Blvd. New Mixed Use Neighborhood with Optional Seaport Expansion . A new "one school" mixed use neighborhood . Majority of salt crystallizers designated as Recourses . 0 tional business ex ansion er Alternative 3 or 4 New Mixed Use Waterfront Neighborhood with Optional Seaport Expansion . Port expansion across Seaport Boulevard with some Industrial-Port Related land buffered by Industrial - Light land . Add Mixed Use Waterfront on 21 acres for floating homes and wetland restoration . 60 acres of parkland on Cargill Saltworks property . One "school nei hborhood" er Alternative 5 but with stron er waterfront orientation Seaport Expansion, Resources, and Public Recreation . Parkland with public access to waterfront open space areas buffered from an expansion of Port-related heavy industrial uses by Port-compatible light industrial land uses . Remainder of the property would be designated as Resource, and includes the portions of the salt crystallizers that were previously acknowledged by the 1990 General Plan as most environmentally sensitive . A new Industrial-Light land use designation in this area compensates for loss of this category in other parts of the City . This alternative does not include the "one school neighborhood" or any residential land uses for the Car ill Saltworks ro ert . Existing Land Use (1990 General Plan) 1 (Sept. 27, 2008) 4 (Sept. 27.2008) 5 (Sept. 27. 2008) 6 (Dec. 9, 2008) 7 (Dec. 16,2008)
