Resolution 14892CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 14892
APPROVING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO MODIFY
GENERAL PLAN TABLE 2 -7 TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE EMPLOYMENT AT ALAMEDA
POINT CONSISTENT WITH THE 1996 COMMUNITY REUSE PLAN
AND TO MODIFY THE TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT STREET
NETWORK TO SUPPORT A TRANSIT ORIENTED MIXED USE
DEVELOPMENT AT ALAMEDA POINT
WHEREAS, in 1993 Naval Air Station Alameda (NAS Alameda) was
decommissioned by the United States Navy and was closed in 1997, resulting in the
loss of approximately 18,000 jobs in Alameda; and
WHEREAS, in 1996 the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority, which
included the City of Alameda, approved the NAS Alameda Community Reuse Plan
(Reuse Plan), as amended in 1997, to establish a plan for the reuse and
redevelopment of the entire former NAS Alameda, including the property west of
Main Street commonly referred to as Alameda Point, in a manner that would allow for
the replacement of the lost jobs, including 5.5 million square feet of non - residential
development and a limited number of housing units (1,425 units); and
WHEREAS, in 2003 the City adopted a General Plan Amendment for Alameda
Point, which added Chapter 9 (Alameda Point) to the General Plan, in order to
implement the community's vision for the reuse of Alameda Point consistent with the
goals of the Reuse Plan and other City of Alameda policy documents; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 9 of the General Plan establishes a buildout capacity of
2.3 million square feet of non - residential development and 1,923 residential units at
Alameda Point; and
WHEREAS, the City is currently leasing approximately 2 million square feet of
buildings at Alameda Point before any new development has occurred and those
buildings have resulted in approximately 1,000 new jobs at Alameda Point since its
closure; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to amend the General Plan as part of the Alameda
Point Project to plan for additional adaptive reuse and new construction of non-
residential development and to reduce the number of housing units in order to be
consistent with not only the goals, but also the development envelope, contained in
the approved Reuse Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City has prepared a Master Infrastructure Plan for Alameda
Point ( "MIP "), which is also part of the Alameda Point Project, that proposes changes
to four figures in the City's Transportation Element consistent with the transit - oriented
and pedestrian and bicycle - friendly policies contained in the General Plan and Reuse
Plan; and
WHEREAS, this General Plan Amendment will have a favorable effect on the
general welfare of the community and is in the public interest as it would help
facilitate the development of a former military site with a mix of uses; and
WHEREAS, the proposed General Plan Amendment provides for continuing
internal consistency between each of the General Plan's elements; and
WHEREAS, on January 13, 2014, the Planning Board held a duly noticed
public hearing on this project and examined pertinent maps, drawings, and
documents in connection with the project and unanimously approved a resolution
recommending that the City Council approve this action; and
WHEREAS, the Alameda Point Project (including this General Plan
Amendment) is fully described and analyzed in the September 2013 Draft
Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2013012043), as amended
by text revisions in Chapter 6 of the December 2013 Response To Comments on the
Draft EIR (collectively, the Final EIR); and
WHEREAS, the Final EIR was presented to the City Council on February 4,
2014 and the Council certified that the Final EIR has been completed in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), Public Resources Code
section 21000 et seq., and reflects the independent judgment of the City, and
adopted findings and a Statements of Overriding Considerations for the Project, and
adopted and incorporated into the Project all of the mitigation measures for the
Project that are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City that are identified
in the Findings.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approves the
General Plan Amendment to amend General Plan Land Use Element and Alameda
Point Element Table 2-7 as shown in Exhibit A and to amend the General Plan
Transportation Element figures as shown in Exhibit B.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the proposed
Alameda Point Project necessitates amendments to the General Plan in the following
areas:
. Amendments to the General Plan Land Use Element Table 2-7 and
Alameda Point Element Table 2-7 are necessary in order to make the
number of housing units and amount of non-residential square footage
consistent with the development envelope contained in the approved
Reuse Plan for Alameda Point.
2. Amendments to the General Plan Transportation Element figures are
necessary in order to support a transit-oriented and bicycle and pedestrian-
friendly development at Alameda Point and to ensure consistency between
the General Plan Transportation Element and the MIP.
Exhibit A: Amendment to Table 2 -7
Existing Land Use Element Table 2 -7 and existing Alameda Point Element Table 2 -7 shall be replaced
with Revised Table 2 -7.

Note: This table represents the maximum build -out for Alameda Point. While development intensities have been
assigned to each Planning Area, the development increments can be moved from one Planning Area to another
to optimize development opportunities. Additional square footage may be added to a Land Use Category provided
that a reduction in the authorized amount of another Land Use Category is made so that no new or substantially
more severe environmental impacts (including traffic impacts) would result from the change.
