ADDING THE NAVAL AIR STATION ALAMEDA HISTORIC DISTRICT
TO THE CITY HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL MONUMENT LIST
WHEREAS, Section 106 of the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act requires that
Federal Agencies recognize their historic properties that may be eligible for the National Register;
and
WHEREAS, the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority, Alameda Point, initiated a
request that the Naval Air Station Alameda Historic District (which is a National Register Eligible
District) at Alameda Point (former Naval Air Station, Alameda) be designated as a City Monument;
and
WHEREAS, the site is designated as Federal Facilities on the General Plan diagram; and
WHEREAS, the site is classified as M -2 -G General Industrial (Manufacturing) Special
Government Combining District; and
WHEREAS, this is not a project as defined by CEQA, Guidelines, Sections 15357; and
WHEREAS, based upon the evaluation contained in the Historic Architectural Resources
Inventory for Alameda NAS, the Naval Air Station Alameda Historic District would be eligible to
be designated a City Monument under two criteria: a group of structures which are associated with
broad cultural, political and social history of the United States and a site which embodies the
distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type which is inherently valuable for study; and
WHEREAS, the Naval Air Station Alameda Historic District would be eligible as an
example of the development of U.S. Naval Bases in the San Francisco Bay Area for World War II,
with 1938 -1945 as the period of significance, and because the buildings have a continuity of style
and a high degree of architectural integrity enhanced by the retention of landscaping and park -like
open spaces; and

recommended that the Naval Air Station Alameda Historic District at Alameda Point be designated
a Alameda Historical Monument.
