Resolution 12110CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. -12110
ADOPTING FINDINGS IN RESPONSE TO WRITTEN
OBJECTIONS ON ADOPTION OF THE COMMUNITY
IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR THE BUSINESS AND
WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
WHEREAS, in accordance with the California Community
Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.),
the Community Improvement Commission of the City of Alameda (the
"CIC ") prepared and submitted to the City Council of the City of
Alameda (the "City Council ") a proposed Community Improvement Plan
(the "Community Improvement Plan ") for the Business and Waterfront
Improvement Project (the "Project "); and
WHEREAS, the City Council and the Agency held a joint public
hearing on May 21, 1991 on adoption of the Community Improvement
Plan and on certification of the Final Environment Impact Report
(the "EIR ") on the Community Improvement Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has provided an opportunity for all
persons to be heard and has received and considered all written
comments received and all evidence and testimony presented for or
against any and all aspects of the Community Improvement Plan; and
WHEREAS, Section 33363 of the Health and Safety Code provides
that before adopting the Community Improvement Plan, the
legislative body shall make written findings in response to each
written objection of an affected property owner or taxing entity
and shall respond in writing to the written objections received
before or at the noticed public hearing;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALAMEDA DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council has considered all evidence an
testimony on the adoption of the Community Improvement Plan and ha
responded in writing to the written objections received before or
at the noticed public hearing.
Section 2. The City Council hereby adopts the written
findings in response to each written objection of affected property
owners and taxing entities attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by reference.
EXHIBIT A
WRITTEN FINDINGS IN RESPONSE TO OBJECTION FROM CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
FINANCIAL SERVICES, INCORPORATED, WRITTEN ON BEHALF OF THE
ALAMEDA COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS AND THE PERALTA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT DATED MAY 21, 1991
Response, Item 1. The Council finds that the Business and
Waterfront Improvement Project (Project) and the Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) identify the Project's impacts on the
Superintendent and the College District and finds the impacts to be
insignificant based on the following facts:
o State law provides for the formation of a Fiscal Review
Committee (FRC), as part of the Community Improvement
Plan (the "Plan") adoption process, to identify and
evaluate impacts on taxing entities caused by the
proposed Project. This process gives the Superintendent
and the District the opportunity to submit evidence of
increase in services due to economic growth or population
growth and financial impacts on the taxing entity (Health
and Safety Code Section 33353.5(b), and Pages 154 and 157
of the Final EIR).
o Neither the Superintendent nor the District submitted
evidence of significant impact as part of the FRC process
(Report of the Fiscal Review Committee, April 9, 1991,
Page 5).
o The CIC has prepared a Written Response, dated May 10,
1991, to the Report of the Fiscal Review Committee. The
Written Response evaluates information supplied by the
Superintendent and the District to the FRC, and concludes
that there is no evidence of significant impact; the
potential impact of the BWIP on both the Superintendent
and the District would be minor. The tax increment
revenue allocated to the CIC during the 40-year BWIP
cycle would represent less than a one-tenth of a percent
(0.096 percent) loss of potential property tax revenue
for the Superintendent and less than four-tenths of a
percent (0.369 percent) potential property tax revenue
loss for the District (Table 6, Page XVI-11 of the Report
to Council, dated April 1991, and Pages 6 and 7 of the
May 10, 1991 CIC Response to FRC Report).
o Furthermore, according to the FRC Report and supporting
documentation, the state "holds harmless" the County
Office of Education and the Peralta Community College
District from decreases in property tax revenue through
the process of increasing the state's apportionment to
the schools. "When the District's revenue limit income
(sic) is calculated, the state apportionment is increased
to replace the lost tax income (if any) due to the
Exhibit A Page 2
Written Findings in Response to Objection
redevelopment project." (California School Financial
Services, Inc. letter, dated March 12, 1991, FRC Report)
Consequently, even if the District and/or the
Superintendent experience slight impacts, they are thus
held harmless from the effect of such impacts.
o Since the potential project impact on schools is
anticipated to be minimal, the EIR does not require
mitigation measures to alleviate the environmental effect
of the Project on schools.
o The projected property tax increases are based on the
investment by the CIC of tax increment. Without this
investment the property tax would not increase to this
extent and would not be "lost to the Superintendent and
the District."
Response, Item 2. The Council finds that the Project and the EIR
have adequately addressed economic growth and population growth and
find that there is no evidence of significant impact on the
Superintendent and the District based on the following facts:
o Page 30 of the Final EIR concludes a discussion of the
estimated population, both of the City of Alameda and of
the BWIP Area, in the year 2010. City population would
be 81,400 persons, while that of the BWIP would increase
by about 1,150 people. This would only represent a 1.5
percent increase in Alameda's 1989 population.
Response, Item 3. The Council finds that the EIR sufficiently
acknowledged the extent to which state legislated mitigation
measures will alleviate environmental effect of the Project on
schools based on the following facts:
o See response under Item 1.
o The Final EIR has been prepared in full compliance with
locally adopted environmental review procedures and all
applicable requirements and provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
o The FRC report and response to it are incorporated into
the EIR by reference (Page 154 of the Final EIR).
o The Final EIR contains written responses to all written
and oral comments received during the public comment
period, including all comments received from California
School Financial Services, Inc., written on behalf of the
Superintendent and the District.
Exhibit A Page 3
Written Findings in Response to Objection
Response, Item 4. The Council finds that the Project and the EIR
have fully complied with state law requirements to evaluate and
respond to potential fiscal burden or detriment that may be caused
the Superintendent and the District based on the following facts:
o See response under Item 1.
o Page 7, of the CIC Written Response to the FRC Report
responds to Superintendent and District concerns
regarding division of tax increment revenues generated by
the Project Area. According to Health and Safety Code
Section 33012(b), "The division of taxes pursuant to
Section 33670, by itself, shall not constitute financial
burden or detriment." Therefore, the mere fact that the
CIC would create the BWIP, thereby causing a division of
property taxes, would not, in and of itself, constitute
evidence of financial burden or detriment. Furthermore,
neither the Superintendent nor the District have
submitted evidence of significant impact.
Response, Item 5. The Council finds that the Project and the EIR
have examined projections for increased student enrollment due to
the Project and find that there is no evidence of significant
impact based on the following facts:
o See response under Item 1.
o Impacts on school enrollment were independently analyzed
by the CIC, and it was concluded that the growth that may
occur within the BWIP area would not cause any net impact
on schools (See CIC Response to the Report of the FRC,
Page 1-4; see also memorandum prepared by Beth Mercer and
Jim Musbach of Economic Planning Systems, Appendix F of
the Final EIR, and updated April 3, 1991, as Attachment
2 of the CIC Response to the FRC Report).
o The Draft General Plan for the City of Alameda
anticipated a total of 3,130 dwelling units would be
constructed in the entire City of Alameda between 1991
and 2010. Of these units, an estimated 625 dwelling
units would be constructed within the Business and
Waterfront Improvement Project (BWIP). The CIC's
analysis notes that the buildout enrollment for students
living in the 625 dwelling units could be 418, while the
excess capacity of schools within one half mile of the
project boundary, or which would serve the BWIP students
is 1,850. For elementary students (K-5), after BWIP
buildout there would still be enough excess capacity to
allow. for the enrollment of 406 more students. After
Exhibit A Page 4
Written Findings in Response to Objection
BWIP buildout, middle schools (6 -8) would still have
enough excess capacity to allow for the enrollment of 187
more students. After BWIP buildout, high schools would
have enough excess capacity to accommodate another 839
students (Attachment 2 of the CIC Response to the FRC
Report).
o Impacts on school enrollment were also analyzed for
commercial /industrial growth that may occur within the
BWIP area, and it was concluded that such growth would
not cause any net impact on schools. As a result of the
2,630 employees that could be generated by the project,
799 new households may move into Alameda. When the 312
households projected to live in BWIP housing units are
netted from this figure, 487 households are left, which
are expected to generate 184 new students. There is a
system -wide excess capacity which is able to handle 1,982
more students, after subtracting out the students
generated by BWIP residential growth. There will still
be a generous margin of excess capacity at the
elementary, middle, and senior high school levels after
BWIP buildout (Attachment 2 of the CIC Response to the
FRC Report).
o The CIC has not received any evidence from the
Superintendent or the District which is inconsistent with
these facts or this finding.
Response, Item 6. The Council finds that the Project and the EIR
adequately address timing and implementation of the Project based
on the following facts:
o There is no requirement that the Project include a
specific schedule for implementation; the Plan is not a
specific development plan.
o The Community Improvement Plan contains all provisions
required under Community Redevelopment Law.
Response, Item 7. The Council finds that the Project and the EIR
adequately address the Project's low and moderate income housing
impacts. This finding is based on the following facts:
o Page 33 of the Final EIR discusses low and moderate
income housing requirements.
o The CIC fully intends to utilize statutorily required
portions of tax increment revenues to enhance the supply
of affordable housing as required by law.
Exhibit A Page 5
Written Findings in Response to Objection
o The City has an adopted housing element as part of the
General Plan revised in 1991. The CIC intends to utilize
housing set-aside funds consistent with the goals and
policies of the General Plan.
o Housing set-aside funds may be used for a variety of
housing programs including, but not limited to,
rehabilitation, acquisition, new construction, etc. But,
the location, numbers of units, tenure of units, type of
units, nature of housing activity, etc. are all unknown
at this time. It would be speculative at this time to
attempt to assess impact; CEQA specifically states that
level of impact assessment should be matched to the level
of program detail available. If program detail is
unavailable, then the EIR should avoid speculating about
impact (CEQA 15146).
Response, Item 8. The Council finds that the Project and the EIR
have adequately considered permitting private enterprise acting
alone to develop the Project area based on the following facts:
o CEQA contains no requirement for the EIR to consider the
extent to which private enterprise acting alone could
develop the Project Area.
o However, Page 91 of the Final EIR, does discuss a "No
Project (do nothing)" alternative. "Growth and
development within the Project area would continue as it
has in the past, without the stimulus that adoption of
the plan would provide. In essence, decline,
deterioration and blighting conditions would continue
throughout the Project area. Adoption of the Community
Improvement Plan for the Business and Waterfront
Improvement Project would provide a stimulus to reduce
the effects. Without creation of the Project, decline
and deterioration would continue. It was found that
private actions were insufficient to bring about the
necessary improvements within the project area."
o Chapter IV, Pages IV-41 through IV-43 of the Report to
Council document impaired investments and economic
decline and Chapter VI, Pages VI-1 through VI-3 document
the inability of alternative financing mechanisms to
accomplish the goals of redevelopment through private
enterprise acting alone.
o Alameda is experiencing an increasing rate of retail
sales tax leakage. Retail sales per-capita for these
'areas are only 73% of per capita retail sales in Alameda
Exhibit A Page 6
Written Findings in Response to Objection
County; and they have been declining steadily over the
last five years. In 1985, Alameda per capita retail
sales stood at 75.6% of per capita retail sales in
Alameda County; by 1989, annual per capita retail sales
had declined to a relative 72.8 percent. Although the
trend in retail sales on Park Street is positive, Webster
Street retail sales declined by eight percent between
1988 and 1989.
o While vacancies on Webster Street were very low in 1989,
anchor retailers are no longer to be found, including:
Lucky Food Stores, Thrifty Drug, Sprouse Reitz, Devon
Home Center, and numerous smaller stores.
o Park Street Historic District maintains a retail core but
will be especially impacted by the need to upgrade 55
unreinforced masonry buildings. In all, 118 of the
City's 182 unreinforced masonry buildings lie within the
boundaries of the Business and Waterfront Improvement
Project Area.
o Liability and cost of toxic contamination cleanup has
become one of the major issues affecting land ownership
and development financing in the 1990's. As is described
in the Report to Council, there are a number of sites in
the Project area suffering from toxic contamination
caused by previous industrial and automotive related
uses. Public and private development efforts have been
frustrated by the time, cost and risk associated with
cleaning up these sites. Only the Community Improvement
Commission acting in accordance with redevelopment law
affords the ability to reduce liability to future
property owners once remediation efforts are complete.
o Major new development along the waterfront has not
occurred in the absence of significant public
intervention.
o Bethlehem Steel Shipyards, a 225 acre, abandoned area,
located adjacent to the proposed BWIP area, sat vacant
for 30 years due to the inability of private enterprise
to act alone. It was only the City's creation in 1983 of
the West End Community Improvement (a redevelopment)
Project that caused the private enterprise to develop the
area.
o Grand Harbor Marina, a new development in 1989, was
developed only because of public financing available to
marina operators through the California Division of
Boating and Waterways.
Exhibit A Page 7
Written Findings in Response to Objection
o Park Street Landing, a new development in 1988, only
occurred with the City's issuance of development
financing through the use of Industrial Development
Bonds.
o If the City formed a special assessment district, issued
bonds in the amount of the total projected cost ($121
million) and assessed each property owner to retire the
bonds, an average homeowner in the Project area would
have to pay approximately $900 per month, based an a
median assumed housing value of $200,000 (based on the
1990 Census). This would be unaffordable under any
standard. Businesses and commercial property owners are
stymied as to how they are going to finance the cost of
upgrading their buildings to meet seismic requirements of
the Health and Safety Code, given the existing tapped-out
lease rates. There is no margin for added property tax
assessments of the magnitude that would be required by
formation of a special assessment district.
Response, Item 9. The Council finds that the Project area is
blighted based on evidence contained in the Report to Council,
Chapter III - Project Area, Pages 1-5, and Chapter IV - Blight,
Pages 1-42. The District and the Superintendent have not submitted
evidence inconsistent with this finding.
Response, Item 10. The Council finds that the Project and the EIR
have adequately considered "migration (sic) into the area caused by
the Project" based on the following facts:
o See response under Item 5.
o Page 88 of the Final EIR states, "Redevelopment of the
mixed-use parcels would contribute to the projected shift
in the ratio of Alameda jobs to employed residents as
stated in the General Plan Final EIR. This projection is
estimated to change from 0.95 in 1990 to 1.33 at buildout
(ie, buildout which will occur City-wide under the
General Plan) and would create significant environmental
impacts associated with longer journeys to work. Because
both Northern Alameda County and Alameda County as a
whole are projected by ABAG to have a job surplus in the
year 2005, travel-related environmental impacts cannot be
fully mitigated."
o The CIC has made written findings set forth in Exhibit A
to Resolution No.91-50 adopted by the CIC and
Exhibit A Page 8
Written Findings in Response to Objection
Recommending Certification of Completion of the Final
EIR.
o Each mitigation measure is summarized in the Summary
Table of the Final EIR and constitutes a change or
alteration that has been required in, or incorporated
into, the Plan, thereby avoiding or substantially
lessening the significant environmental effects as
identified in the Final EIR, and in Exhibit A to the
Resolution Certifying Completion of the Final EIR.
o The CIC has found that significant environmental effects
have been reduced to an acceptable level, in that all
significant environmental effects have been eliminated or
substantially lessened, except for the potential impact
of new development on the jobs/housing balance, resulting
from implementation of General Plan policies.
o The CIC has found that, although the Final EIR identified
certain significant environmental effects that will
result if the BWIP is implemented, all significant
effects that can be feasibly avoided or mitigated have
been avoided or mitigated by the mitigation measures
incorporated in the Final EIR.
o The CIC further found that the Final EIR identified one
environmental effects which cannot be avoided if the
Project is implemented and that this remaining
unavoidable significant effect was found to be acceptable
when balanced against the facts set forth in the finding
of overriding consideration stated in Section 10 of the
CIC Resolution No. 91-50 , Recommending Certification of
Completion and Making Findings as to the Final EIR.
Response, Item 11. The Council finds that the Project has
adequately specified limitations on type, size, height, number and
proposed used of buildings consistent with the level of specificity
required by statute based on the following facts:
o Section 33333 of the Health and Safety Code says, "Every
redevelopment plan shall show by diagram and in general
terms...." Sections 400 through 429 of the proposed
Community Improvement Plan, including the Redevelopment
Land Use Map, Attachment 3, show by diagram and in
general terms all information required by Section 33333.
o Furthermore, the proposed Plan relates all proposed uses
and limitations to the 1991 General Plan, and the City's
General Plan also contains sufficient specificity to
satisfy statutory requirements.
Exhibit A Page 9
Written Findings in Response to Objection
Response, Item 12. The Council finds that the Project has
adequately addressed all provisions of Health and Safety Code
Section 33353.5 based on the following facts:
o There is no need for, or requirement that, the CIC or
Project concern itself with implementation of the
provisions contained in Section 33353.5, because this
section outlines the duties, responsibilities,
obligations, and options of the FRC, not the CIC. This
section outlines the possible contents of the FRC's final
report to the CIC.
o The Community Improvement Commission has no standing to
sit on the Fiscal Review Committee (Section 33353.2).
o California Financial Services, Inc., as agent for the
Superintendent and the District, participated in the FRC
(Report of the FRC, Page 1). Therefore, both the
Superintendent and the District had the opportunity to
present evidence of significant impact upon them and they
had the opportunity to persuade other members of the FRC
to recommend measures discussed in Item 12 (modification
of the tax increment cap, life of the plan, etc.).
o It is the obligation of the Superintendent and the
District to submit evidence of fiscal burden or detriment
for inclusion in the FRC Report. If the final FRC Report
failed to recommend the types of measures suggested by
the Commentor, it is due to the Superintendent and the
District's failure to perform, not the CIC's.
Response, Item 13. The Council finds that regardless of whether
legislative action to continue, discontinue, or modify the current
process of paying subventions to schools, no evidence of
significant impact has been presented by the Superintendent or the
District. This finding is based on the following facts:
o Neither the Superintendent nor the District have
submitted evidence of significant impact.
o The CIC has prepared a Written Response, dated May 10,
1991, to the Report of the Fiscal Review Committee. The
Written Response evaluates information supplied by the
Superintendent and the District to the FRC, and concludes
that there is no evidence of significant impact; the
potential impact of the BWIP on both the Superintendent
and the District would be minor. The tax increment
revenue allocated to the CIC during the 40-year BWIP
Exhibit A Page 10
Written Findings in Response to Objection
cycle would represent less than a one-tenth of a percent
(0.096 percent) loss of potential property tax revenue
for the Superintendent and less than four-tenths of a
percent (0.369 percent) potential property tax revenue
loss for the District (Table 6, Page XVI-11 of the Report
to Council, dated April 1991, and Pages 6 and 7 of the
May 10, 1991 CIC Response to FRC Report).
Response, Item 14. The Council finds that the Project has
identified the Project's impacts on the Superintendent and the
College District and find the impacts to be insignificant, based on
the following facts:
o See responses under Items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
o On the contrary, the history of redevelopment in
California shows that the state ends up with more revenue
as a result of redevelopment activities. Redevelopment
projects and activities throughout the state have, on the
whole, had the effect of increasing revenue to the state.
o Upon receipt of evidence of significant impact, the CIC
would consider instituting appropriate mitigation
measures.
Response, Item 15. The Council finds that the Plan contains all
elements and provisions required under Redevelopment law.
Additionally, see responses under Items 6, 7 and 11.
Response, Item 16. The Council finds that the CIC and the Plan
provide for the alleviation of impacts based on the following
facts:
o See response under Item 1.
o Legislation provides a process for alleviating
significant impacts and the CIC has followed all steps
outlined in state law.
o The CIC has provided all affected taxing entities with
copies of the Statement of Preparation of the Preliminary
Plan, a copy of the Preliminary Report, a copy of the
Report to Council, and the notice of public hearing.
• The County of Alameda convened a FRC, which met and
issued a Report, dated April 9, 1991.
Exhibit A Page 11
Written Findings in Response to Objection
o In compliance with Section 33353.7, the CIC submitted to
the FRC Chair a written response, dated May 10, 1991, to
the Report of the FRC.
o Twelve taxing entities currently collect property tax
revenue from property located within the proposed BWIP.
The CIC has met with a couple agencies as many as
seventeen times each to discuss their concerns. Thus
far, the CIC has reached agreement with, or satisfied the
concerns of, eight of the 12 agencies.
o CIC has met or corresponded with the Superintendent and
the District on at least six occasions between December
1990 and the present, to discuss potential fiscal burden
or detriment.
o The CIC shall continue to meet with any taxing agencies
wishing to provide evidence of financial detriment due to
the Project, including the Superintendent and the
District.
o Upon receipt of evidence of significant impact, the CIC
would consider instituting appropriate mitigation
measures.
Response, Item 17. The City Council finds that it is true that the
Superintendent and the District do not receive developer fees in
partial mitigation of impacts, but this has been taken into account
in discussion with the two entities in discussion of mitigating
minimal impacts identified thus far.
In conclusion, the objections by the Superintendent and the
District are conclusionary in nature and do not provide any
evidence of fiscal impact or give any reasons for delaying adoption
of the Community Improvement Plan for the Business and Waterfront
Improvement Project.

Members of the Department and Council:
This is written on behalf of the Alameda County Superintendent of
Schools (the "Superintendent ") and the Peralta Community College
District (the "District ") to object to the adoption of the Project
and the corresponding Environmental Impact Report ( "EIR ") until the
impacts of the Project on the Superintendent and the District have
been alleviated.
GEN' 14)
.. 2 1 1991 3s&
City Clerk's Office
The Superintendent and the District are concerned that the Project
and EIR do not adequately address impacts, potential mitigation
measures and reasonable alternatives. To the extent that they are
not redundant, some of the other concerns are as follows:
1. The Project and EIR do not identify the Project's impacts
on the Superintendent and the District as significant.
2. The Project and EIR do not adequately address the fact
that economic growth is the primary cause of population growth both
historically and today.
3. The EIR does not detail the extent to which state
legislated mitigation measures will alleviate the environmental
affect of the Project on schools.
4. The Project and EIR do not identify the manner in which
the Superintendent and the District would be able to operate in
general or meet their needs for school facilities without the
superintendent or the District receiving tax revenues generated by
the Project.
5. The Project and EIR do not examine projections for
increased student enrollment due to the Project. The Project and
EIR are therefore lacking in their consideration of all related
environmental impacts including population growth, housing,
transportation, noise, recreation, fire protection and other public
services.
6. The Project and SIR do not adequately discuss the timing
for implementation of the Project. The consequential financial and
environmental impacts cannot be properly anticipated or planned
for.

7. The Project and EIR do not adequately address the impact
of the Project's compliance with low and moderate income housing
requirements.
8. The Project and EIR do not adequately consider the
alternative of permitting private enterprise acting alone to
develop the Project area. The Community Redevelopment Law ( "CRL ")
and applicable law requires that specific alternatives be
considered and found not feasible.
9. The Project area is not blighted.
10. The Project and SIR do not adequately consider the
migration into the area caused by the Project.
11. The limitations on type, size, height, number, and
proposed use of all buildings are not properly defined. The
incorporation of Municipal Code provisions is insufficient and does
not provide the specificity required by statute.
12. The Project does not adequately identify and evaluate the
measures stated in Health and Safety Code Section 33353.5 which
would:
(a) modify the total mount of tax increment to be received
by the Redevelopment Agency;
(b) modify the duration of the Redevelopment plan;
(c) modify the size of the Project area;
(d) modify a kind or number of specific projects proposed to
be undertaken by the Agency;
(e) include specific actions for projects to be undertaken by
the Agency which would reduce or eliminate the detrimental fiscal
effects on the Superintendent and District; and
(f) involve payments by the Agency to the Superintendent and
the District.
13. The Superintendent and District are not guaranteed
reimbursement by the state for local property tax revenues diverted
to the Agency.
City of Alameda Community Development Department
and City Council
May 21, 1991
Page 3
14. Any diversion of State revenues to offset the local
property tax revenues claimed by the Agency is an additional burden
on the State which impacts the Superintendent and the District.
15. The proposed Project is uncertain and the Superintendent
and the District are therefore hampered in their efforts to
accurately quantify the significant impacts expected.
16. The legislature has provided for alleviation of Project
impacts. The legislature obviously wants each agency to take care
of impacts and not shift that burden to the State.
17. The Superintendent and the District do not receive
developer fees in partial mitigation of impacts.
The Superintendent and the District will continue to meet with the
Agency representatives to resolve mutual concerns. The
Superintendent and District request that the Project not be
approved until its impacts on the Superintendent and the District
can be appropriately alleviated.
