Senior Planner Espiritu and Ryan McNamara of Black Griggs Properties, LLC, presented a proposal
for a 292-unit multi -family residential project at 40 Airport Boulevard. The plan involves
demolishing the existing on -site building and constructing a new eight -story building containing 292
multi -family residential units and 308 parking stalls on two levels of podium parking. The proposal
includes several community benefits, such as safety improvements at the intersection of Airport
Boulevard/South Airport Boulevard, pedestrian and bike enhancements, and contributions to the
Community Facilities District. The staff is seeking input from the Housing Standing Committee,
particularly regarding the architecture and proposed community benefits.
Mr. McNamara presented a development overview of the amenities, which included the following:
• Community/co-working spaces
• Resident cafe
• Pet run and spa
• Fitness center
• Podium Courtyard
• Rooftop lounge and sky deck
Planning Commissioner Faria noted the importance of including three —and four -bedroom to meet
the housing needs. He requested clarification on the bedroom ratio for the 44 below -market -rate
(BMR) units. Mr. McNamara provided an overview of State law housing requirements.
Planning Commission Chair Shihadeh inquired about rent projections for the various unit types and
parking costs. Mr. McNamara provided an overview of the projected rental income and parking costs
depending on the number of spaces per unit.
Councilmember Addiego inquired whether the developer and the two businesses next to the project
site considered adding ingress to the project. Mr. McNamara stated the business declined ingress as
it would eliminate parking spaces. Councilmember Addiego inquired about future traffic solutions
for the area. Chief Planner Rozzi advised that without re -envisioning that intersection, there was no
way to improve the traffic flow.
Mayor Nagales inquired whether the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance
required residential projects to have a certain percentage of residents with alternate modes of
transportation. Senior Planner Espiritu stated that the current TDM ordinance does not have
residential requirements.
Councilmember Addiego requested the developer examine the pedestrian tunnel to determine what
would be needed to bring it up to a level conducive to people's enjoyment of walking to the train.
Mr. McNamara indicated that he would review the site and report back.
