Planning Board: Golf Course Land Swap Proposal, Food Trucks, Public Art, Ploughshares Building

Alameda's Planning Board will hold Monday evening on the environmental impact report for the proposal to reconfigure the Chuck Corica Golf Course, build up to 130 housing units on the land currently occupied by the Mif Albright 9-hole course, and build playing fields on 12 acres of land on North Loop Road in the Harbor Bay Business Park.

While the golf course issue is expected to dominate the meeting, there's more on the agenda:

• Public art proposal: Two freestanding metal sculptures to be located on private property off Hibbard Street and at the foot of Grand Street adjacent to the Grand Marina and the Oakland/Alameda Estuary (on the consent calendar).

• Design review: Ploughshares Nursery, 2701 W. Main Street. The project consists of a 2,580 square feet plant nursery retail building. The one-story structure will utilize strawbale and earthbag construction and incorporate solar energy and on-site stormwater treatment.

• Food trucks ordinance: Recommend adoption of an ordinance for food truck operations to allow sale of goods with approval of a special event permit or conditional use permit, and adopt Food Truck Program guidelines.

The board meets Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. in the third-floor council chambers at City Hall, 2263 Santa Clara Ave. You may download an agenda and related materials at the City of Alameda website.
