Resolution 13582CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 13582
ADOPTING THE 2001 -2006 HOUSING ELEMENT OF
THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY OF ALAMEDA
WHEREAS, the City Council directed that a Housing Element be prepared for the period of
2001 to 2006 to comply with the requirements of state law; and
WHEREAS, the City conducted a number of Town Halls and other forums to solicit input
from the community and a broad range of local and regional stakeholders into the development of the
City's housing policies for the planning period; and
WHEREAS, after the October 9, 2001 draft element was completed, the draft 2001 -2006
Housing Element (the "Housing Element ") was submitted to the Department of Housing and
Community Development (the "Department ") for the Department's review and comment in the
manner required by State law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to a letter from the Department dated December 14, 2001, the
Department provided comments regarding the Housing Element, indicating the Department's
contention that certain provisions of the Housing Element required revision in order to comply with
state law. Copies of the Housing Element and of the December 14, 2001 letter from the Department
are on file in the Office of the Planning and Building Department of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing on October 14, 2002 to
consider the Housing Element, the December 14, 2001 letter from the Department and testimony
from all interested parties and on November 25, 2002 recommended adoption of the Housing
Element; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to a letter from the Department dated December 16, 2002, the
Department provided additional comments regarding the Housing Element, indicating the
Department's contention that certain provisions of the Housing Element required still further
revision in order to comply with state law. Copies of the Housing Element and of the December 16,
2002 letter from the Department are on file in the Office of the Planning and Building Department of
the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on February 4, 2003 to
consider the Housing Element, the December 14, 2001 letter from the Department, the December 16,
2002 letter from the Department and testimony from all interested parties and remanded the Housing
Element to the Planning Board for further consideration in light of the suggestions of the Department
in its December 16, 2002 letter; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing on March 10, 2003 to
consider the Housing Element, the December 14, 2001 letter from the Department, the December 16,
2002 letter from the Department and testimony from all interested parties and on November 25, 2002
recommended adoption of the Housing Element as amended through that date; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code section 21000 et seq.; "CEQA ") and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code
of Regulations, Title 14, section 15000 et seq.), the City prepared an initial study and determined
there was no substantial evidence that the adoption of the Housing Element may have a significant
effect on the environment. Accordingly, a mitigated negative declaration was prepared and notice
was given in the manner required by law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on April 1, 2003 to
consider the Housing Element, the December 14, 2001 letter from the Department, the December 16,
2002 letter from the Department and testimony from all interested; and
WHEREAS, the City Council made the following finding:
1. The City Council reviewed the Housing Element, the December 14, 2001 and December
16, 2002 comments from the Department, input from the public regarding the Housing
Element, and conditions specific to the City and hereby finds and determines that the
Housing Element as amended by the modifications attached hereto as Exhibit B and
incorporated herein by this reference ( "the amended Housing Element ") substantially
complies with the requirements of state law despite the contrary view of the Department,
based on the findings attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this
reference.
2. The amended Housing Element is consistent with other elements of the General Plan
because the amended Housing Element uses the land use designations of the Land Use
Element and those designations are, in turn, reflective of and consistent with the policies
and provisions of the remaining elements of the General Plan.
3. The housing goals, objectives and policies stated in the amended Housing Element are
appropriate for the City of Alameda and will contribute to an attainment of the state
housing goals.
4. The adoption of the amended Housing Element will aid the City's efforts to assist in the
development of housing for all members of the community.
5. For all of the foregoing reasons, the adoption of the amended Housing Element is in the
public interest.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that City Council hereby adopts the amended
Housing Element as the Housing Element of the General Plan of the City of Alameda. The City
Clerk is hereby directed to distribute copies of the Housing Element in the manner provided in
Government Code section 65357.

EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS OF CONFORMANCE
In accordance with Government Code 65585(f)(2), the City of Alameda makes the following
findings that the Housing Element, as amended by Exhibit B to the resolution approving it,
substantially complies with the requirements of Article 10.6 of Chapter 3 of Title 7 of the
Government Code despite the contrary findings of the Department of Housing and Community
Development.
FINDING 1: The Draft Housing Element contains all of the contents prescribed by Government
Code Section 65583.
FINDING 2: Table V -I of the Draft Housing Element, as modified, demonstrates that Alameda can
meet its housing goals established by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) for
Alameda's Regional Housing Need Determination (RHNA), based on proposed and planned projects
as well as available development sites.
FINDING 3: The Draft Housing Element presents goals and objectives that are results- oriented with
measurable objectives and timelines, identifies potential housing sites and articulates related City
policies that support creation, rehabilitation, and retention of housing units.
FINDING 4: The Department of Housing and Community Development certified the City of
Alameda Housing Element in 1989 with the design restrictions of Article 26 of the City Charter
(Measure A).
FINDING 5: No modifications, as described in the following sections of the letter from the
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to the City of Alameda dated
December 14, 2002, are required to be made to the Housing Element, for the reasons addressed
below:
HCD Comment A.1.a: Section C, Land Inventory, of Chapter V, Resources for Housing
Opportunities, assumes densities of 15 units per acre for private land for which development plans
are not presently before the City. A density of 15 units per acre was chosen because it is the mid-
point of the densities allowed by the Medium Density Residential General Plan designation, which
ranges from 8.8 to 21.8 units per acre. The mid -point was chosen to provide a conservative analysis
of the ability of the land available for residential development to meet the City's housing need for all
income categories. Given the uncertainty as to the content of as- yet - undeveloped plans of private
property owners, the City concludes that choosing the mid -point of allowable densities is reasonable
for development of its housing policy.
HCD Comment A.1.b: Sites 24a, 24b, and 24c meet the requirements of Government Code Section
65583.1(b), which states that permanent housing units located on a military base undergoing
conversion may be identified if the housing element demonstrates that the housing units will be
available for occupancy within the planning period. All but 53 of these units were occupied
Page 1
subsequent to January 1, 1999, and the balance of these units are currently being rehabilitated.
Moreover, the ABAG RHNA goal for the City assumed that this land would be available and
therefore a program to attain that goal relies on that land as well.
HCD Comment A.1.c: The sites identified can be included in the City's inventory, for the following
reasons:
SitelO: Alameda Unified School District has several potential sites which could be
developed with housing, including a portion of the 12 -acre site at Alameda Point,
development of the 6 -acre site at Encinal Teiminal (if the public trust can be removed) and
redevelopment of any existing school properties that maybe declared surplus property during
the planning period of the element. There are a range of locations that could accommodate
the units, and the City will be working with the School District to locate the site (or sites)
which best meets their needs. Accordingly, the City concludes that it is appropriate to
identify this housing resource in the element.
Sites 14 and 15: In response to HCD's comments to these sites the City has amended the
draft element and is not including these units in its' new construction goals. Not
withstanding the inclusion of these units, as the element demonstrates, the City can obtain its
RHND objectives.
Sites 18 and 19: The City is not relying on Government Code Section 65583(b)(2), which
requires that a City that cannot meet its housing needs to "establish the maximum number of
housing units by income category that can be constructed, rehabilitated and conserved."
Therefore, there is no requirement that the programs for Sites 18 and 19, which are in
redevelopment areas, include incentives to ensure that maximum densities could be achieved
or the units could attain levels of affordability beyond the requirements of redevelopment
law.
Site 21: This site is designated for Medium Density Residential use in the General Plan and
is located within the Business and Waterfront Improvement Area. Although the property was
recently leased by a marine retail use, there is continued interest in residential redevelopment,
which could be assisted through redevelopment powers. The City concludes that this site
could be reasonably made available for residential development during the time frame of the
Housing Element and that it is therefore appropriate to identify this housing resource in the
City's housing policies.
Site 22: The City has provided substantial evidence that the typical household income of
marina live- aboard units qualifies these units as moderate - income households. The City has
committed, pursuant to the regulation of the Bay Conservation and Development
Commission, to permit the marina live - aboards identified in the list of sites and, given the
typical income range of live - aboards, the City concludes they can appropriately be counted as
moderate - income units.
HCD Comment A.1.d: The Northern Waterfront Specific Plan has not yet been adopted. Only two
sites identified in the Land Inventory are within this Specific Plan area: Site 7, Marina Cove, which
Page 2
is an approved subdivision for 152 units that are under construction and Site 19, Alameda Beltline,
which is currently designated Medium Density Residential in the General Plan, which assumes 84
units for the site The City cannot speculate about the details of the Specific Plan until it is adopted
by the City Council. If, as HCD suggests, the City were to pre- commit to a definite course of action
relating to the Specific Plan, then any subsequent environmental review of that Specific Plan would
be a sham and subject to legal challenge. (See 14 Cal.Code.Regs. section 15352(a); City of Vernon
v. Board of Harbor Commissioners (1998) 63 Cal.App.4th 677, 688.) Accordingly, the City plans for
housing at this site are made subject to its duties arising from statute and from the due process rights
of property owners to complete the required environmental analysis and public hearing processes for
the proposed Specific Plan before committing to a particular course of action.
HCD Comment A.1.e: The City has identified adequate sites to meet the City's housing needs for all
income categories. None of the sites identified are residential units in the second story of
commercial buildings. Therefore, no additional analysis on the effects of City Charter Article XXVI
(Measure A) on the development potential and feasibility of these units is necessary.
HCD Comment A.2.a: The impacts of City Charter Article XXVI (Measure A) have been fully
analyzed on pages VI -16 through VI -20 of the Draft Housing Element. It has been established in
Hernandez v. City of Encinitas, 28 Cal.App.4th 1048 ( 1994), that the Department of Housing and
Community Development's disagreement with the conclusion of this analysis does not mean that it
fails to meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65583(a)(4).
HCD Comment A.2.b: The City is under no obligation to remove a governmental constraint to
housing supply unless it is both "appropriate and legally possible" to do so per Government Code
Section 65583(c)(3). The density provision in City Charter Article XXVI (Measure A, enacted by
the voters and requiring their approval for amendment or repeal) meets the broad goals of the City's
1991 General Plan of respecting Alameda's island character and small town atmosphere and
respecting the City's rich and diverse heritage of historic architecture. Elimination of this density
provision is not necessary for the City to meet its housing obligation and the City is, in any event,
powerless to repeal a measure adopted by its voters and which the extensive public hearing process
devoted to the development of this element indicated enjoys substantial, current public support in the
City. A repeal or amendment of Measure A could be proposed by initiative and the City notes a
dearth of efforts to propose such a repeal, even among those who most urgently advocate this course
for the City.
HCD Comment B.1.a: The information provided regarding various housing element programs is
adequate to meet Government Code Section 65583(c) for the reasons stated below.
Program I f Housing in Industrially Zoned Areas: As explained above, the City cannot "pre -
commit" to General Plan updates and zoning code amendments relating to housing in
industrially zoned areas without violating the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and denying the affected property owners the legal due process to which they are entitled.
However, the Housing Element does lay out a process by which housing can be provided in
these zones. The Housing Element does not rely upon any housing in industrially zoned
areas in order to meet the City's housing construction goals.
Page 3
Program 3m, Second Units: This program is not necessary to meet the City's housing needs.
Therefore, the outcome of the review of the second -unit ordinance need not be predicted in
the Housing Element.
HCD Comment B 1.a: The more detailed description of time frames and the City's roles that HCD
requests is not required by Government Code 65583(c)(6)(B).
HCD Comment B.1.b: The intent of Ordinance 2278 is to permit housing units destroyed by "vis
major, act of God, irresistible and insuperable cause occurring without the intervention of the owner
or his agent, earthquake, lightning, storm, flood, fire caused by an outside or unavoidable means,
enemy action, insurrection, riot, calamity caused by the elements, or other destruction reasonable
beyond the control of the new owner or his agent" to be reconstructed. Housing lost to voluntary
demolition or removal is not subject to this Ordinance, and therefore, no program to implement
Ordinance 2278 as to such housing was developed.
HCD Comment B.1'.d: Pages 11 -7 and II-8 of the Draft Housing Element list a number of City
programs that support the development of additional rental housing, including Redevelopment
Inclusionary Housing, the Alameda Point Collaborative Units, Alameda Point Collaborative
Substantial Rehabilitation, the 60 -unit Family Housing Project, the Infill Development New
Construction/Acquisition/Substantial Rehabilitation Program, and the School Employee Housing
program.
HCD Comment B.2.a: The site analysis contained in Chapter V describes the new units that the City
expects can be developed on infill sites and units to be acquired and rehabilitated: 460 Buena Vista
and Playa del Alameda consist of units that have been acquired and rehabilitated; 1109 Buena Vista,
2201 Santa Clara, and 626 Buena Vista consist of units that have been developed on infill sites; and
746 Eagle consists of the conversion of an office into a single- family unit. The AUSD Project,
Alameda Beltline project, and Infill Housing would also provide new construction on infill sites.
HCD Comment B.2.b: There is no statutory obligation to "ensure development occurs at the highest
possible densities." The assumption of development at 15 units per acre is based on conceptual site
plans for identified development sites in the City and is therefore well - founded. The basis for this
conclusion is also discussed above.
HCD Comment B.2.d: On January 15, 2002, the City Council approved an Exclusive Negotiation
Agreement (ENA) with Alameda Point Community Partners (APCP), the master developer for the
redevelopment of Alameda Point. The ENA provides a 24 -month time frame in which to negotiate
up to 10 agreements with APCP to carry out the redevelopment of Alameda Point. APCP has
indicated they are interested in constructing housing on clean sites after the completion of the
negotiation between the City and APCP, which will conclude in 2004. Therefore, it is likely that
housing will be constructed and occupied before June 2006. Moreover, as discussed above, because
ABAG established the City's RHNA goal on the assumption that Alameda Point would be available,
it is appropriate that the City plan for housing on that land during the planning period of this element.
Page 4
HCD Comment B.2.e: There is a discussion on page IV -12 of the Draft Housing Element that
identifies zones that allow emergency shelters with a conditional use permit as required by
Government Code Section 65583(c).
HCD Comment B.3.a: See discussion of HCD's Comment A.2.a above.
HCD Comment B.3.b: This comment does not suggest any specific deficiency in the Draft Housing
Element to which the City can meaningfully respond.
HCD Comment B.3.c: The analysis requested in comment A.2.b concludes that the City's minimum
lot -size requirement is not a constraint on housing affordability. Therefore, no program to mitigate
the impact of this requirement is necessary.
FINDING 6: No modifications, as described in the following sections of the letter from the
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to the City of Alameda dated
December 16, 2002, are required to be made to the Housing Element, for the reasons addressed
below:
HCD Comment A.1(Adequacy of Densities): The City has demonstrated that the density of 15
dwelling units per acre can be achieved under City standards, including the voter - approved Measure
A, in Appendix D of the Housing Element: Alameda Housing Site Feasibility Analysis. These
examples, which include site drawings and schematic plans, will not be adopted into the Final
Housing Element, but serve to demonstrate that development at the densities proposed in the
Housing Element is realistic and are therefore made a part of the record of the adoption of the
Element. The City need not demonstrate that all sites can be developed at densities of 21 dwelling
units per acre to attain its regional housing goal. Only Site 19 is anticipated to be developed at this
density and would be developed using the Measure A exemption in the City Charter.
The HCD commentor fundamentally misunderstands the City's ability to "write- down" land costs for
certain affordable housing sites identified in the inventory. No redevelopment funds are necessary.
Specifically, the ability to reduce land costs for affordable housing projects is focused primarily on
the sites that are currently owned, or are anticipated to be owned, by the City or other public agency
within the planning period. According to the housing site inventory this amounts to 812 units or
62% of the total fair share of affordable units.
HCD Comment A.1(Second Story Development): The City continues to believe that it has
demonstrated that there are adequate sites in order to meet the City's share of the regional housing
need in the planning period. The City already permits second -story residential development above
commercial development as a right in the C -C (Community Commercial) Zoning district. Both Park
Street and Webster Street are presently zoned C -C. The City has already established the following
policy in the General Plan:
2.5.g Encourage retention and addition of housing in the Park Street, Webster
Street, and Neighborhood Districts.
Page 5
This policy is further supported in such recent planning efforts as the Downtown Vision Plan and the
Economic Development Strategic Plan which also support and encourage housing in these areas.
HCD Comment A.2: 1) The City is unaware of any evidence that Measure A, adopted by the voters
in 1973, was motivated by anything other than considerations of community design. HCD offers no
evidence to support its claim (via reference to Government Code Section 65008) that Measure A is
in any way discriminatory. Moreover, as indicated in the Housing Element, the City is very diverse
in terms of each of the social characteristics protected by the statute notwithstanding that Measure A
has been the local law since 1973, suggesting not only the absence of discriminatory motive, but also
the absence of discriminatory impact. In fact, the City has become more diverse since the passage of
Measure A. Further, the time in which an action might have been filed to challenge Measure A on
the basis of Government Code 65008, or, indeed, any other basis, has long since run. Finally, the
City is aware of no authority for HCD to consider Government Code Section 65008 in determining
whether to certify a housing element as substantially complying with the requirements of
Government Code 65580 et seq. HCD's citation of Government Code Section 65008 echoes
comments made by advocacy groups that have expressed substantive disagreement with the land use
choices made by the City and its electorate and has no basis in fact.
2) Land costs can be written down because the City will be the owner of the property within
Alameda Point, the location in which the majority of the dwelling units will be developed.
3) In creation of the Housing Element, the City engaged in an extraordinary public outreach effort,
including many town hall meetings, public hearings, and public forums, including a public forum
specifically regarding Measure A. There has been no interest on the part of public, or the housing
advocates themselves, in circulating a petition to repeal the initiative or to amend Measure A,
suggesting that it continues to serve as the current expression of the popular will Therefore,
development of an educational program is not warranted as a matter of local policy nor necessary to
attain the City's fair share of regional housing goals.
4) The Keyser - Marston Study referenced in the existing text of the Element has already identified
Measure A, including the 2000 square foot minimum lot size, as a constraint. The open space
provisions do not apply to detached single - family dwellings, but do apply to the development of
duplexes. The Element also demonstrates that the constraints Measure A imposes on housing supply
can and will be mitigated by the programs included in the element and that the City can attain its
housing goal while respecting the policy adopted by its voters.
HCD Comment A.3: No multi - family units assisted with tax credits or redevelopment funds are at
risk of changing from low- income uses during the next 10 years in accordance with Section
65583(a)(8). In reaching this determination, the City examined their City records and data base of all
projects assisted with redevelopment funds.
HCD Comment B.1: The City has provided information regarding the funding sources that it intends
to use for the creation of housing; however, it is not presently possible to budget funds for each
identified project within each redevelopment plan area in more than a speculative manner. It is not
Page 6
practical to provide additional data at this time. The City believes it has met its obligation under
Section 65583(c), however, the City has provided additional information about the redevelopment
areas in general.
HCD Comment B.2 (Highest Possible Density): The City is not required to develop all of its sites
at the highest possible density. In fact, to do so would be counter to a policy in the Housing Element,
which states:
policy 2.c.v. Ensure the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance encourage residential
development that provides variety in the housing product in response to variations in income
levels, changing live -work patterns o. f residents, and the needs of a diverse population.
HCD Comment B.1 (Committed Assistance): The Housing Element acknowledges that financial
commitments are necessary to comply with AB438 and demonstrates that those commitments
were made, funding dispersed and units completed. The following chart describes the
commitment of monies for the number of units by affordability group; project by project as
displayed in the land inventory. Since these projects are completed and occupied, no
programmatic revisions are necessary.
HCD Comment B.1 (Conveyance): The City continues to believe that housing can be created at
Alameda Point within the planning time period of the Housing Element. The City is pursuing early
transfer or conveyance of the property under the requirements of Section 120(h)(3) of CERCLA
(Section 334 Early Transfer) which would permit the City or the Master Developer to undertake the
completion of the environmental remediation. Therefore, it is not necessary for the City to create a
program of alternative sites.
HCD Comment B.1 (Emergency Shelters): ; The City has an excellent track record of provision of
homeless assistance. The Stewart B. McKinney Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 11301 et seq.,
requires DOD and other Federal agencies to give priority consideration for homeless assistance over
other uses for property that is considered excess, surplus or underutilized by Federal agencies. The

HCD Comment B.1 (Conveyance): The City continues to believe that housing can be created at
Alameda Point within the planning time period of the Housing Element. The City is pursuing early
transfer or conveyance of the property under the requirements of Section 120(h)(3) of CERCLA
(Section 334 Early Transfer) which would permit the City or the Master Developer to undertake the

homeless assistance. The Stewart B. McKinney Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 11301 et seq.,
requires DOD and other Federal agencies to give priority consideration for homeless assistance over
other uses for property that is considered excess, surplus or underutilized by Federal agencies. The
US Department of Housing and Urban Development screens properties for suitability. The Base
Page 7
Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless Act of 1994 established procedures that required
the needs of the homeless be included during the reuse planning process. The City has adopted
Standards of Reasonableness and has already implemented the program within the Housing
Element's time frame. This includes the development of 200 rehabilitated Navy housing units for
transitional housing and permanent residency, integrated supportive services, a community building
and center, and job training programs, including a micro- enterprise nursery.
It should be noted that the City's zoning ordinance is already pen uissive with respect to transitional
housing (i.e. housing for families in transition) in that it makes no distinction between transitional
housing and other housing and thus such housing is permitted in all of the City's residential zones.
The City has one emergency shelter, Midway Shelter. A recent survey of that shelter indicates that it
serves not only all of Alameda's needs, but has additional capacity to serve needs outside Alameda.
Therefore, the City need not plan for additional emergency shelters at this time
HCD Comment B.1 (60 Unit Family Project): The City of Alameda is legally obligated to develop
this 60 -unit project as part of the Settlement Agreement with Renewed Hope and ARC Ecology
arising from their challenge to the environmental review for the closure of NAS Alameda. The City
Council recently provided policy guidance on the 60 -unit project and has allowed an increase of 2
units for a total of 62 units. Of the 62 units, a total of 52 units will be rental housing and will be
owned by the Housing Authority. A total of 10 units will be owned by income- eligible purchasers.
The affordability and unit mixes are dictated by the Settlement Agreement, which defines the
affordability levels as follows "a) that a minimum of 30% of the units shall be made permanently
affordable to households with incomes at or below 50% of the area median; b) 30% of the units shall
be made permanently affordable to households with incomes at or below 60% of the area median;
and c) no more than 40% of the units shall be made permanently affordable to households with
incomes between 60% and 100% of the area median." The City's obligation to provide funding for
the 62 -unit project shall be satisfied solely and exclusively from the portion of tax increment
revenues required by California Redevelopment Law to be set aside for the provision of low and
moderate income housing and from Affordable Housing Unit fees as set forth in Section 27 -1 of the
Alameda Municipal Code to the extent such tax increment revenues and fees arise from the Catellus
Project." In addition the Settlement Agreement adds, "The City, in its sole and unfettered discretion,
may contribute funds from other available affordable housing funding sources." Given this provision
of its settlement with these housing advocacy groups, the City plans to rely on its dedicated housing
funds available for affordable housing development as well as applying for either tax credit financing
and /or State Funding available from Housing and Community Development.
HCD Comment B.3: As demonstrated above, the constraints arising from the voters' approval of
Measure A can and will be mitigated by the programs included in the Element and the City need not
further mitigate those constraints to attain its fair share of the regional housing need.
HCD Comment C: Pages IV -9 and VI -10 of the Housing Element discuss the City's efforts to
remove governmental constraints to the development of housing for persons with disabilities. The
City's existing programs assist to remove barriers for persons with disabilities including the
Page 8
Substantial Rehabilitation and Rental Rehabilitation Program and the City's Building Code
requirements for ADA compliance. Further, the City has already removed barriers within its Zoning
Code by permitting residential care facilities for six or fewer persons (which includes group homes)
as a matter of right in all residential zoning districts. The City allows uncovered wheelchair ramps or
other structures providing disabled access to encroach into any yard area (A.M.0 30 -5.7 (j)).
Therefore, no additional programs are necessary to meet SB 520.

Garden Court and is designated Medium Density Residential in the City's
General Plan. The project consists of 40 existing Section 8 low_- income
apartment units that were at risk of conversion to market rents. In
exchange for a long -term affordability covenant, the Housing Authority
assisted the new buyer, A. F. Evans, and its nonprofit partner, Trinity
Housing, in financing the acquisition and rehabilitation of the project. The
project is complete and the units continue to be occupied by very low
income households. See Note at end of Chapter V.
The Element is hereby amended to add the paragraph below to the existing
Site 4 - Playa del Alameda section, as follows:
Site 4, Playa del Alameda can be counted towards the City's regional
fair share because the Playa del Alameda was a 40 -unit HUD Section
8 family housing project located at 716 Central Ave. in Alameda.
The project was constructed in 1983 and is composed of 22 'two -
bedroom units and 18 three - bedroom units. It was financed by the
proceeds of the Alameda Housing Finance Corporation Mortgage
Revenue Bonds and HUD guarantees and had a 22 -year Housing
Assistance Payments (HAP) Contract with the Housing Authority. In
April 1999, A. F. Evans Company made an offer on the property with
the intent to renovate the property and ' preserve it as long -term,
affordable housing. A public hearing was held at the Alameda
Housing Authority Board of Commissioners meeting December 7,
1999, during which it was established' that these project -based Section
8 rental assistance units were eligible to convert to non - subsidized use
in October 2003. At the time, the project was 100 percent occupied.
A. F. Evans had secured financing for rehabilitation of the units, the
scope of which included removal and replacement of exterior siding,
upgrades of unit interiors, repair of dry rot and stairwells, installation

of fencing and landscaping, and replacement of windows and
appliances. No relocation was anticipated during or after the
rehabilitation. A. F. Evans received a deferred loan from the Housing
Authority in the amount of $243,109for acquisition and in return has
guaranteed to maintain affordability for a period of 55 years for low -
income households. 100 percent of the 40 units will be maintained for
households at or below 60 percent of the median income paying no
more than 30 percent of 60 percent of median income for rent.
Page V -10 The Element is hereby amended to amend the description of Site 9 —
CDBG Sub Rehab, as follows:
Site 9 - CDBG Sub Rehab: This is a scattered site irehabilit-atian
program using Community Development Block grant (CDBG) funds
which adds, „, new
dwelling units. The City added rehabilitated one unit in 1999 and
three units in 2000. Another 14 new units are projected to be added
by the end of '2006. The City will commit 15.3 percent of its annual
entitlement of CDBG funds to the creation of new units through the
substantial rehabilitation program.
Page V -10 Correct description of Site 10, as follows:
Site 10 - AUSD Project: This housing project is sponsored by the Alameda
Unified School District (AUSD) and funded from the AUSD pass - through
portion of BWIP set -aside funds. Alameda Unified School District has
several potential sites which could be developed with housing.,
including a portion of the 12 -acre site at Alameda Point, development
of the 6 -acre' site at Encinal Terminal if the public trust can be
removed or redevelopment of any existing school properties which
may become surplus during the time period. Since there are a range
of locations that could accommodate the units, the City will be
working with the School District to locate the site which best meets
their needs. The 16 units would all be for low - income households and
possibly located on surplus AUSD property at an undetermined location.
The AUSD set -aside fund will accrue up to $1.8 million by 2006. The
City estimates that this amount is sufficient to subsidize at least 16 low:
income units.

just east of Main Street. It is currently designated Federal Facilities in the
City's General Plan and is proposed to be redesignated to Medium Density
Residential as part of the Alameda Point Amendment scheduled for
adoption by the end of 2001. The project may include 72 housing units on
a 4.8 acre site assuming the mid -point density allowed in the General Plan
(15 units per acre). As the site is located in the BWIP redevelopment area,
a project could include four very low- income units, seven moderate-
income units and 61 above moderate - income units. A zoning change will
be required to provide housing on this site.
Add a sentence to the end of the site description of Site 19, as follows:
Site 19 Alameda Beltline: This site is a- small. portion of what is
commonly known as the Beltline Railroad Yard site. It is located on the
south side of Atlantic Avenue between Constitution Way and Eighth
Street and is designated Medium Density Residential in the City's General
Plan. The General Plan assumes 84 units on this four -acre site. The
proposed project is located -m the WECIP and could consist of 84 multi-
family housing units with 36 very low - income units and 48 moderate-
income units. A zoning change will be required to provide housing on
this site.
The Alameda Beltline Yard was the subject of a November Ballot
initiative to rezone the entire 22 acres - to Open Space. The
enforceability of the measure is now being litigation If the Ballot
measure is ruled enforceable, the City will amend the Element to
redistribute the 84 units to adjoining parcels that are currently zoned
for manufacturing uses. The City is currently developing a Specific
Plan for the surrounding area with the assistance of a Council -
appointed citizens Advisory Committee. The draft Land Use Concept,
as recommended by the Advisory Committee, includes a
comprehensive rezoning of several sites in the surrounding Northern
City of Alameda -- Housing Element 2001 -2006

Waterfront Plan Area to residential or residential -mixed use. The
rezoning would create additional capacity for approximately 350
additional housing units. The draft ` Plan also includes a
recommendation that all housing development in the area be subject
to a 15% affordable housing inclusionary requirement and that a
portion of the City's "Guyton Agreement" allocations of Housing
Authority units be used in the Plan area > It is likely that these sites
will become available for residential development during the term of
the Element because the property owner of the re -zoned sites is
encouraging the completion of the Specific Plan . and is actively,
planning for residential use of the sites.

Add paragraph:
Site 20 - MU -5: This site is made up of a number of parcels located
both north and south of Clement Avenue between Willow Street and
Oak Street. The General Plan calls for the redevelopment of existing
industrial sites for 250 to 350, two - family residential units, treating the
area north of Clement Avenue as an extension of the residential
neighborhood to the south. Development applications for part of this
area have been filed. A zoning change will be required to provide
housing on this site.
Add a sentence at the end of the site description of Site 21, as follows:
Site 21 Former Rite Aid: This site is located on the west side of
Constitution Way between Buena Vista and Pacific Avenues. The site is
currently designated Medium Density Residential in the City's General
Plan. The site is located in the BWIP redevelopment area. A proposed
project could include 26 housing units on the 1.6 acre site assuming 16.6

units per acre. A zoning change was approved in 2003 to provide
housing on this site.
Add four paragraphs after description of Site 22, as follows:
Site 22 - Infill Housing: Infill housing opportunities continue to exist and
be developed' on scattered sites throughout the City. The City expects that
approximately 10 units per year will be developed over the planning
period, consistent with historic development rates of these kinds of units.
Infill development has several advantages over development of raw
land, including cost savings due to the presence of public
infrastructure and lack of the need for extensive site preparation
work. Additionally, where new units are ` added to an existing ` lot,
there are no additional land acquisition costs.
These advantages translate into lower rents for' new infiil units
constructed on developed properties. Recent construction activity in
the City of Alameda demonstrates that these units are affordable to
moderate - income households.
The six new dwelling units most recently completed on developed lots
had an average size of 1,302 square feet, with a range from 1,050
square feet to 1,700 square feet. The average cost of construction was
$76.32 per square foot.
The development cost plus developer profit of 12 percent for the
average sized new unit on developed land is $111,293. Using the
assumption that gross monthly rent should be about 1 percent of total
development costs, these units could be rented for $1,120 per month
which is affordable for moderate- income households.
Page V -12 Correct description of Site 24a, as follows:
Site 24a - Alameda Point - West Housing (MOU): This site is located
north of Atlantic Avenue on Alameda Point. The site is currently
designated Federal Facilities in the City's General Plan and is proposed to
be redesignated to Medium Density Residential as part of the Alameda
Point General Plan Amendment ` scheduled for adeption by the end of
2004. The 58 units on site 24a are a component of 200 housing units that
were constructed by the Navy and have been leased to the Alameda Point
Collaborative by the City. These units were originally occupied by
Navy personnel and have been vacant since the Naval Air Station
closed in 1997. The units had not been available for occupancy by
non- military households prior to January 1999. The substantial
rehabilitation of these 58 units was funded by the City and includes 30
units of very low- income housing managed by UA Housing and 28 units
of very low- income housing managed by Operation Dignity. The project

nine of these units have been rehabilitated, and the balance of these
units is in the process of being rehabilitated. The units are under a long-
Willi lease managed by a consortium of non - profit organizations, the
Alameda Point Collaborative. These units were originally occupied by
Navy personnel and have been vacant since the Naval Air Station
closed in 1997. The units had not been available for occupancy by
non - military households prior to January 1999. Conformance
rezoning will occur after the adoption of the General Plan

Correct description of Site 28, as follows:
Site 28 Alameda Point Marina: This site is located in the Seaplane
Lagoon on Alameda Point. The site is currently designated Federal
Facilities in the City's General Plan and is proposed to be redesignated to
Mixed Use (Marina Mixed Use District) as part of the Alameda Point
General Plan Amendment scheduled for adoption by the end of 2001. The
new liveaboard units within the Alameda Point Marina are within a
redevelopment area and will be subject to the affordability
requirements of redevelopment law. Liveaboard units currently
range in price from $235,000, within the affordability range for
moderate- income households, to $350,000, based on information
provided by a local real estate agent who sells' live- aboards.
The project includes 530 boat berths, 10 percent of which are included as
liveaboard housing (see comment for Site 17.) The proposed project could
include three very low - income' units, five low- income units and 45
moderate- income units. Conformance rezoning will occur after the

with one in four units affordable to very low -, low- and moderate- income
persons. Conformance rezoning will occur after the adoption of the
General Plan Amendment for Alameda Point.
Page V -14 After Site 30 — Alameda Point - Marina District, add Site 31, as follows:
Site 31 - Amnesty Units: , During World War II many large single -
family dwellings were illegally converted to two- family and multiple -
family dwellings without required permits. These units are mostly
occupied by lower - income households because the units are smaller
and do not meet current building code requirements. The program
documents these units and ensures that the units meet basic health
and safety building codes. This program creates units that comply
with City of Alameda regulations. Based on staff analysis, while
amnesty units are not subject to affordability restrictions, such units
have historically been affordable to low- and very low- income
households because they could not command the higher rents of more
conventionally constructed and developed units. The City expects that
these rent patterns will not change during the next five years.
Page V -14 The Element is hereby amended to amend Section D, second paragraph in
the Financial Resources Section, to read as follows:
The City has adopted = Community Improvement Plans for its
redevelopment project areas, which detail the development plans
consistent with Community Redevelopment Law. The funds collected
that are allocated for housing purposes will be used to increase,
improve, and preserve housing available to low- and moderate -
income persons at an affordable cost. The expected uses of funding
will also vary by redevelopment, area In the West End Community
Improvement Project, funding has been committed to debt repayment
and to the Independence Plaza senior project to pay operating and
rental subsidy for very low- and low - income units. In the Business
and Waterfront Improvement Project, funding is contractually
committed to the AUSD (see Table II -1, Action Program C.6.) and to
City of Alameda -- Housing Element 2001 -2006

Page VI -4
debt repayment. Remaining- funding will be used for housing
development activities for very low -' and low- income households. In
the Alameda Point Improvement Project Area3--for--example5 $3.6
million in the funding has been committed to the Alameda Point
Collaborative to pay for that portion of infrastructure costs allocable
to the APC affordable housing units as discussed in this Element.
Remaining funds will be used exclusively to subsidize construction
costs of the City's expanded low - income Iinclusionary obligations. In
all redevelopment areas, the City has adopted plans which detail the
plans for redevelopment (For additional detail please see Table II -1
for anticipated program funding). Depending on the pace of real estate
development, new projects' may generate as much as $13 million over the
next five years for their respective Low and Moderate Income Housing
Funds (20 percent set- aside). The City also receives revenue from its
housing impact fee, the Affordable Housing Unit/Fee (AHUF), which has
been recently increased to adjust for inflation. Depending on future non-
residential development, this fee may generate as much as $3 to $4 million
by the end of the Housing Element planning period. In addition to these
sources, the federal HOME and CDBG programs are expected to generate
approximately $3 million for housing programs.
Add a sentence to the first paragraph of section G, entitled, "Residential
Uses in Non-Residential Zoning Districts ", as follows:
G. Residential Uses in Non - Residential Zoning Districts
The City accommodates residential uses in non- residential zones.
Commercial areas, particularly those in the older portions of the city, can
provide opportunities for additional - housing units. More than two
dwelling units can be developed on commercial property, provided
they meet the requirements of 'AMC Section 30- 4.8.(c)(1), and there
are not more than two dwelling units in any one building. The C -1...
Correct section entitled Construction costs, as follows:
According to the City's Planning and Building Department, the typical
cost to build a wood -frame, one - family home in Alameda is currently
$97.52 $115.00 per square foot (2001 2002 dollars). The "hard" cost of
constructing a typical 2,000 square -foot one - family home is therefore
approximately $195,040 $230,000. Construction costs for a 3,000 square -
foot two - family structure is approximately $292,560 $345,000.

Add a paragraph to the end of Section 2, "Zoning ", as follows:
The Zoning Ordinance allows a minimum lot size of 2,000 square feet
of lot area per dwelling unit. The minimum lot size is a land use
control which could be considered a governmental constraint.
However, the minimum lot size implements City Charter Article 26
"Measure A ", which was passed in 1990 in part because of residents'
concern about the effect of increased density on the small -city
community character of Alameda and helping to ensure that new
development does not overburden the City's infrastructure. The
minimum lot size represents a reasonable and justifiable approach to
protecting Alameda's small -town community character. Since the
regulation serves credible policy objectives, it would not be
appropriate to eliminate the regulation. Because Measure A is a
Charter provision and subject to the vote of the electorate, there is no
authority by staff or council to change the measure.
Page VI -17 Correct section entitled "Exception. Destroyed Building" as follows:
Section 30 -53.3. Exception. Destroyed Building. A building permit may,
notwithstanding the immediate preceding section, be issued to rebuild all
dwelling units, or any parts thereof, of record at the time the building
within which they are located becomes a destroyed structure, as defined in
Section 44-424-(g)530-51.1, provided that...
Page VI -17 Add a paragraph after section entitled "Exception. Destroyed Building" as
follows:
Section 30 -51.1 defines a destroyed structure as a "residential building
containing multiple dwelling units which is damaged to the extent of
more than seventy (70 %) percent of its value, or destroyed, by an
accidental circumstance, including via major, act of God, irresistible
and insuperable cause occurring without the intervention of the
owner or his agent, earthquake, lightning, storm, flood, fire caused by
an outside or unavoidable means, enemy action, insurrection, riot,
calamity caused by the elements, or other destruction beyond the
reasonable control of the owner or his agent."
Page VI -20
Add the following paragraphs at the end of section 4, "City Charter Article
XXVI ", as follows:
The City has fully analyzed the impacts of Measure A and retained
the assistance of Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (advisors in real
estate, redevelopment, affordable housing, etc.). The study estimated
the amount of financial assistance that would be necessary in order to
develop apartment rental units at a density of 30 units per acre that
would be deed - restricted to very low-, low- and moderate - income
households and also analyzed the amount of assistance that would be
required to develop low - density affordable ownership and rental units
to reflect HUD's recently adjusted household incomes.
City of Alameda -- Housing Element 2001 -2006
Modifications to Draft Page 20
It was determined that the development of affordable housing will
generally require a significant public subsidy., however the amount of
subsidy needed for rental multi- family apartment units is
considerably less than what would be required for meeting the same
levels of affordability with low - density, duplex units. As shown in the
following chart for rental units, it is estimated that the development of
multi - family rental apartment units ' would require a subsidy of
approximately $81,000 for very low- income units, $59,000 for lower -
income units and no subsidy for moderate - income units. The amount
of subsidy required for low - density, duplex construction is
significantly more. As 'shown, a very low - income duplex unit is
estimated to require a subsidy of approximately $147,000 per unit
(compared to $81,000 per unit for a comparable apartment unit).

As is reflected, the costs for development and corresponding need for
subsidy is greater for lower-density projects. The primary reason for
reduced costs is the per -unit land costs, which are significantly less for
multi -plex projects than they are for single- family and duplex units.
The apartment units require less assistance due to lower construction
costs which include the reduced land and site preparation costs per
unit.
Having evaluated the effects of Measure A more fully we do identify,
this as a constraint. This constraint will be mitigated, however,
through a number of programs and measures identified in ' this
element including the write -down of the cost of City-owned property,
increased Inclusionary requirements and expenditure of
redevelopment set -aside funds. The vast majority of property to be
developed over the life of this Housing Element is or is anticipated to
be owned by the City of Alameda and the cost of land can be written
down to a level whereby the City can subsidize the units and ensure
affordability. In addition, the Housing Element does identify
adequate sites to meet the City's housing needs for all income
categories.
