future plans are developed, and (b) development of an arts center
management plan in collaboration with the Arts Commission, as
further discussed in the staff report.
Questions asked and answered by staff included the following: since the
Museum is going to be a major part of the plan, shouldn't we start trying
to engage potential Museum tenants, so that they can provide input in how
that shell should be constructed; wouldn't it be important that we try and
give non -profits some concrete feedback as soon as possible, so they could
go out and begin fundraising; who is really looking for a Museum, the
developer or the City; asked for examples of other areas where developers
have built an art community; is it possible to make one of the buildings a
live/work space as opposed to an office building, and the timing to change
the zoning, and, the transit funding and loans associated with the property.

fact that this is public land and this area needs to be free for everyone to
access; it is important that everyone have a place to go that is art space that
they can spend time appreciating and enjoying art; the proposed hotel
should not be a luxury hotel, but more affordable; support the arts; how
important it is to have art there for the sake of having and enjoying art,
create an opportunity for local artist to come in, and non -profits to be able
to have access to this space; the Gallery Plan doesn't generate the revenue
necessary to reinvest into the space; and, reinvisioning the art space for all
current and future uses, specifically looking at the Art Box idea.
Motion by Councilmember McKeown, seconded by Councilmember
O'Day, to approve the staff recommendation with the 120 room hotel, with
the direction to explore reduction or removal of the market rate office
space, and with the understanding that design of the museum space shall
be done with input from the as yet to be determined occupant of that
museum space.
Councilmember Himmelrich proposed a friendly amendment to support
the plan with a hotel without specifying exactly how many rooms, or what
exactly it will be. The motion was not considered friendly by the maker.
Mayor Winterer, proposed a friendly amendment to move in a timely
manner in seeking museum tenants, considering the art box idea as ways to
remove or replace the office space. The motion was considered friendly
by the maker and seconder.
Motion by Councilmember McKeown, seconded by Councilmember
O'Day, to approve the staff recommendation with the 120 room hotel, with

The motion was approved by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers McKeown, Vazquez, O'Day,
Mayor Pro Tem Davis, Mayor Winterer
