Speaker 0: Initiate revisions to the ordinances and code sections for mixed use zoning in.
Speaker 1: The City of.
Speaker 0: Alameda to aid retention of beneficial commercial uses within areas zoned for mixed use. All right. I swear.
Speaker 6: I, I, I move that we direct just what the city clerk said because it's laid out here.
Speaker 0: We have a second. Would you accept a friendly amendment, Mr. Vice Mayor, to ask that to be one of the items, a priority item in in the priority setting work session. I think it's one that's substantive that requires a significant amount of staff time, and I think that it might make sense to get it in there with the work plan.
Speaker 1: So well.
Speaker 0: We address it as effectively as possible.
Speaker 6: I think we should we should give direction now and then we staff comes. If we follow the usual pattern of council referral, staff will come back and tell us what the timing is.
Speaker 0: Right. So we've got that just yeah, I could respond to that. I think the one of the things that the city manager said to us was that. The priority setting workshop is a way to get away from so many council referrals and yet deal with not to eliminate them but to deal with significant items. And I just think this is we might even this might be its own workshop or something if it were factored into the rest of the work plan.
Speaker 6: And I happen to think this one is time critical. And because when we talked about the Main Street, we talked about Memex, it's in there, Memex zone in there, and we also have a number of parcels on the Northern Waterfront that don't have applications that are still zoned. And we have a tell us that wants to have zoning. And there's is not in the pipeline yet. So I want this one done. In concert with that. So I don't want to leave it off and then take a chance that it's going to be pushed pushed down the track, because I think it's really important to make sure, again, that we don't end up with a residential development that includes a coffee shop as a commercial component.
Speaker 0: But if I remember correctly, everything was time critical. Unless he hasn't, he doesn't really have a second.
Speaker 6: But I think this one, because there are projects that are.
Speaker 0: Second in your motion. Okay, there was a motion. I'll second. Any other comment. All those in favor. I, I know. Saying I'm.
Speaker 3: Staying.
Speaker 0: All right. So three in favor, one opposed and one abstention. Motion carries nine f. This is my referral. It's to consider directing staff to review and action a minimum wage increase in Alameda. I brought this because I know other cities have addressed this already.
Consider Directing the City Manager to Initiate Revisions to the Ordinances and Code Sections for Mixed-Use Zoning in the City of Alameda to Aid Retention of Beneficial Commercial Uses within Areas Zoned for Mixed Use.
