AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE ALAMEDA MUNICIPAL
CODE CONTAINED IN CHAPTER XXX (DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS) TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE CITY
OF ALAMEDA GENERAL PLAN AND THE CITY OF ALAMEDA
MUNICIPAL CODE FOR THOSE LANDS GENERALLY REFERRED TO
AS "ALAMEDA POINT ".
BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Alameda:
Findings:
In enacting this Section, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The amendments maintain the integrity of the General Plan. The proposed
zoning text amendments are necessary to ensure that future reuse and
redevelopment of Alameda Point is consistent with the polices, objectives and
standards established by the 1996 Naval Air Station Alameda Community
Reuse Plan and Chapter 9 of the City of Alameda General Plan for Alameda
Point by amending the zoning to support future decision making regarding
public and private investment in Alameda Point and to support:
a. The seamless integration of the former Naval Air Station property into
the physical and social fabric of the City of Alameda.
b. Replacement of the jobs lost by the departure of the Navy and fostering
new economic development opportunities on the former federal lands.
c. Increased public access to the waterfront and supporting maritime
commercial and industrial use of the waterfront.
d. Creation of mixed -use transit oriented walkable districts that
deemphasize the automobile and support alternative modes of
transportation, and
e. Creation of sustainable districts that minimize greenhouse gas
emissions, energy and water use, and maximize protection of the
natural environment.
2. The amendments will support the general welfare of the community. The
proposed zoning text amendment will support the general welfare of the
community by establishing appropriate permitted and conditionally permitted
uses and development standards to ensure that new uses and new
development are consistent with community values and goals for the area and
support the general welfare of the community by providing employment, open
space, recreation, and other community benefits to all Alameda citizens.
3. The amendments are equitable. The proposed zoning text amendments are
equitable in that they establish appropriate processes and procedures for the
review of future development proposals and new uses that balance the
community's need to facilitate reuse and redevelopment of Alameda Point,
while also providing appropriate oversight and discretion for individual
applications.
4. California Environmental Quality Act. For purposes of compliance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Final
Environmental Impact Report for the Alameda Point Project, (State
Clearinghouse No. 2013012043) was prepared and certified by the City
Council on February 4, 2014.

C. Alameda Point Sub - district Purpose Descriptions
The Alameda Point Zoning District is comprised of six Sub - districts. Each Sub- district
includes a specific set of regulations designed to achieve the following purposes and
intent:
Waterfront Town Center (WTC) - This Sub - district provides lands for a mix of
uses that include waterfront and visitor - serving uses, including retail, service,
entertainment, lodging, recreational, and medium to high- density residential
uses. Development standards are intended to create a pedestrian, bicycle,
and transit supportive urban environment designed to de- emphasize the
automobile and create a mixed -use environment that supports the emergence
of a transit and pedestrian- friendly mixed -use waterfront neighborhood. To
ensure that the development of this area achieves these purposes, a master
plan is required for this Sub - district.
Main Street Neighborhood (MS) - This Sub - district provides lands for a variety
of housing types with complementary small - scale neighborhood- serving retail,
urban agriculture and parks uses, and a mix of residential densities.
Development standards support development of a walkable, transit friendly
neighborhood with safe streets, adequate common open space areas, and site
planning that complements the NAS Alameda Historic District Residential
Subarea character - defining features. Use standards should support a
diversity of household types, including supportive housing, assisted living, and
a mix of neighborhood compatible uses, such as community gardens,
childcare centers, urban farms, and other neighborhood supporting uses. To
ensure that the development of this Sub - district achieves these purposes, a
master plan is required for this Sub- district. All regulations and standards shall
be included in the master plan.
iii. Enterprise -1 (E -1) - This Sub - district provides lands for employment and
business uses, including office, research and development, bio- technology
and high tech manufacturing and sales, light and heavy industrial, maritime,
community serving and destination retail, and similar and compatible uses.
Development standards are intended to create a pedestrian, bicycle, and
transit supportive urban environment and ensure high quality, well designed
buildings within walking distance of services, restaurants, public waterfront
open spaces, and residential areas. Use standards are intended to encourage
and facilitate job growth and limit intrusion of uses that would limit or constrain
future use of these lands for productive and successful employment and
business use.
Enterpise -2 (E -2) - The E -2 Sub - district serves the same purposes as the E -1
Sub- district, but uses in the E -2 area are restricted to uses that are compatible
with the Waterfront Town Center.
v. Enterprise -3 (E -3) - The E -3 Sub - district encompasses a one hundred foot
wide band of land that fronts onto Main Street and the adjacent neighborhood.
Main Street fronting residential use is conditionally permitted in this sub - district
to create a more seamless integration between the Enterprise Sub - district and
the existing Main Street neighborhood.
vi. Enterprise -4 (E -4) - The E -4 Sub - district is restricted to maritime uses
consistent with the Public Trust Exchange Agreement. Residential and other
non - maritime oriented uses are prohibited.
vii. Adaptive Reuse — (AR) - This Sub - district provides lands for employment and
business uses, including office, research and development, bio- technology
and high tech manufacturing and sales, light and heavy industrial, maritime,
commercial, community serving and destination retail, and other uses that
support reinvestment in the existing buildings and infrastructure within the
NAS Alameda Historic District and residential uses are conditionally permitted
in two former residential buildings. Development standards are intended to
create a pedestrian, bicycle, and transit supportive urban environment that is
compatible with the character - defining features of the NAS Alameda Historic
District. Use standards are intended to provide a wide range of investment
opportunities within the district to encourage private reinvestment in the NAS
Alameda Historic District.
viii. Open Space (OS) - This Sub - district provides lands for parks, recreation,
trails, and large -scale public assembly and event areas consistent with the
Public Trust Exchange Agreement. Development standards are intended to
support maximum public access, use and enjoyment of these lands, and the
protection of natural habitat and wildlife. Use standards are intended to allow
for a variety of public open space and compatible uses, such as museums,
concessions and parking areas necessary for public use of these lands, in a
manner that ensures the protection of the natural environment. Residential,
office, and non - visitor serving or non - maritime oriented commercial uses are
not permitted in this Sub - district.
Nature Reserve /Government (NR \G) - This Sub - district provides lands for
wildlife habitat. Use of this area should preserve and protect the natural
habitat in this area to the fullest extent possible, compatible with the protection
of endangered species and other wildlife and plant life that may inhabit, make
use of, or be permanently established within this area. Uses include seasonal
public access, on -going management and monitoring and activities related to
education and research consistent with federal requirements. Pursuant to
Section 30 -4.17, the G, Special Government Combining District Government
Combining District applies to this property because the land is owned by the
U.S. Government.
D. Site Planning and Building Design Requirements
This section provides regulations for the placement of buildings and improvements to
land. Planned Development and Design Review applications shall be reviewed for
consistency with these regulations. Requirements for the Waterfront Town Center
and the Main Street Neighborhood Sub - districts shall be included in the required
Waterfront Town Center and Main Street Neighborhood Master Plans.
i. Building Orientation: All new buildings shall be oriented toward the main
adjacent public right -of -way (i.e., public street or public park) and shall provide
a main public entrance with direct access to the public right -of -way.
ii. Pedestrian Orientation: To support the pedestrian environment and de-
emphasize the automobile:
a. Surface parking lots or parking structures shall be minimized in size and
placed behind or beside the building. Parking lots shall not be placed
between buildings and streets. When placed adjacent to a building, the lot
shall provide a landscaped 25 foot setback from the public right of way.
b. Drive through lanes are prohibited.
c. Site improvements shall include bicycle racks, pedestrian pathways
through parking areas, pedestrian lighting, and sidewalks and street trees
on all streets adjacent to the property.
d. Public and commercial service facilities such as Automated Teller
Machines shall be conveniently located adjacent to the pedestrian public
right -of -way.
e. Ground floor windows adjacent to the public pedestrian right -of -way shall
provide an unobstructed view into the building for a distance of at least five
feet to animate the pedestrian experience.
iii. Front Setback: New buildings shall be aligned with the front setback of
buildings on the block to maintain a consistent setback and "street wall" along
the block and maintain the character of the Sub - district. In cases where a
consistent "street wall" of buildings does not exist, the following standards
should govern:
a. In the Adaptive Reuse Sub - district, the building front setback should be
consistent with the setback of the other NAS Alameda Historic District
contributing buildings on the block or the adjacent blocks to maintain the
character defining features of the NAS Alameda Historic District. A smaller
front yard setback may be approved if it can be found that the smaller
setback supports a more pedestrian- oriented site plan.
b. In the Enterprise Sub - districts, new buildings should be placed as close to
the front property line as possible to facilitate pedestrian access. A
setback of up to 20 feet may be approved if it can be found that the
setback is necessary and appropriate to create a pleasing landscaped
buffer between a building over 30 feet in height and the public right of way
or a public park.
c. In the Open Space Sub - district, new buildings should be placed in a
manner that maximizes and supports the open space and recreational
uses of the Sub - district.
iv. Rear Setback: No rear setback is required, except where:
a. The building abuts a residential use or a public open space, a 20 -foot
rear setback shall be provided and the height of the rear of the building
shall be designed to provide an adequate transition between the height
of the building and the adjacent residential building.
b. The rear of the building faces a public street or public open space, the
rear of the building shall be aligned with the rear or front setback of the
existing buildings on the abutting parcels to maintain a consistent
"street wall" and the character of the Sub - district.
v. Side Setback: No side yard setback shall be required in the Enterprise or
Adaptive Reuse Sub - districts, except where:
a. Where the parcel or site abuts a public open space or residential use, a
20 -foot side yard setback shall be provided and the height of the rear of
the building shall be designed to provide an adequate transition
between the height of the building and the adjacent residential building.
b. The side yard abuts a public street, the side yard setback shall be
sufficient to align the building with the front setback of the adjacent
buildings.
c. In the Adaptive Reuse Sub - district, the side street facing setback
should be consistent with adjacent contributing NAS Alameda Historic
District structures on the side street, unless a finding can be made that
the proposed setback is consistent with the character defining features
of the NAS Alameda Historic District.
d. In the Open Space Sub- district, new buildings should be placed in a
manner that maximizes and supports the open space and recreational
uses of the Sub - district
vi. Setback Landscaping: In cases where a front or side yard setback that faces
a public street or public open space is provided, that setback area shall be
landscaped or improved for public use. In the Adaptive Reuse Sub - district,
the landscape plan shall be consistent with the Cultural Landscape Guidelines.
To protect the endangered species, no landscape materials may be planted in
the Open Space Sub - district lands located west of Saratoga Street that are
capable of growing over 20 feet in height.
vii. NAS Alameda Historic District: Within the NAS Alameda Historic District areas
within the Adaptive Reuse Sub - district, new building design and architectural
detailing shall be compatible with adjacent structures and complement the
historic character of the NAS Alameda Historic District.
E. Building Height Requirements

Reuse Sub - district shall be determined by the height of the adjacent NAS
Alameda Historic District contributor buildings. In cases where the adjacent
buildings differ in height, the tallest adjacent contributing building shall be the
determining building height. The height of the new building shall not exceed
the height of the adjacent contributor buildings. In the area west of Monarch
Street, all new buildings and additions to existing buildings shall be reviewed
for consistency with the special building height and placement requirements
set forth in the Declaration.
ii. E -1 and E -4 Sub - districts. The maximum permitted height for any building
shall be 100 feet, except that any building proposed within 100 feet of the
Encinal High School property shall be limited to 35 feet in height and any
building or portion of building within 100 feet of the West Hornet Avenue right -
of -way shall not exceed 40 feet in height.
i. E -2 Sub - district. The maximum permitted height for any new building shall be
75 feet.
iv. E -3 Sub - district. The maximum permitted height for any new building shall be
35 feet.
v. Open Space Sub - district. Consistent with the Declaration, the maximum
permitted height for any new building in this Sub - district on lands west of
Saratoga Street shall be 20 feet. New buildings proposed on Open Space
Sub - district lands east of Saratoga Street may exceed the 20 -foot height limit,
if necessary, to accommodate a desired use with approval of a conditional use
permit.

xii. Transit Oriented Development Parking Regulations. The off - street parking ratios
in Table B and the following parking requirements are intended to:
a. Supplement the supply of shared public parking at Alameda Point that is shared
and priced to support the Transportation Demand Management Program trip
reduction goals;
b. Limit the supply of privately controlled off - street parking spaces; and
c. Support a walkable, bicycle - friendly, and transit - oriented community.
xiii Off - Street Parking and Loading Regulations. Applications for the reuse and /or
redevelopment of land at Alameda Point shall be reviewed for conformance with
the provisions of AMC Section 30 -7 Off Street Parking and Loading and the
provisions of this section, including Table B. When the content of this section
conflicts with the AMC, this section shall govern. In Table B, all requirements are
enumerated in spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross building floor area unless
otherwise noted.
xiv. Reserved Parking. The Reserved Parking ratios presented in Table B represent
the maximum number of off - street parking spaces that may be provided on the
subject site for the private use of site occupants and visitors. There are no
minimum off - street parking requirements.
xv. Exceeding Reserved Parking Ratio. The maximum reserved parking allowed may
be exceeded only upon issuance of a use permit from the Planning Board, if the
Board is able to make, all of the following determinations:
a. Reasonable parking and transportation demand management measures are
being implemented to reduce the need for the additional off street parking;
b. The additional parking demand cannot reasonably be accommodated through
contract or other arrangement such as shared parking or reciprocal parking
agreements making use of other available off -site parking;
c. The additional spaces reflect parking demand that exceeds that which is common
for this use as categorized in Table B, owing to unique characteristics of the users
or the activity that result in a high level of automobile parking demand; and
d. The additional parking will enable or facilitate positive environmental or other
benefits which outweigh adverse effects, such as additional traffic and congestion,
danger to public safety or deterioration of travel conditions for pedestrians,
cyclists or users of public transit.
In its decision the Planning Board shall cite evidence supporting its
determinations, and may impose such conditions as are necessary to mitigate all
negative impacts on the neighborhood and the environment which would
otherwise result from the increased amount of parking.
xvi. Unbundled Parking. The following rules shall apply to the sale or rental of parking
spaces in new multi -unit residential buildings of ten units or more:
a. All off street parking spaces shall be leased or sold separately from the
rental or purchase fees for the individual units for the life of the units, such
that potential renters or buyers have the option of renting or buying a unit
at a price lower than would be the case if there were a single price for both
the unit and the parking space(s).
b. In cases where there are fewer parking spaces than units, the parking
spaces shall be offered to the potential buyers or renters of the largest
units first.
c. Potential buyers and renters of affordable residential units have an equal
opportunity to buy or rent a parking spaces on the same terms and
conditions as offered to the potential buyers and renters of market rate
units, at a price proportional to the sale or rental price of their units as
compared to comparable market rate units. This stipulation shall be
included in any agreement recorded between the City and the developer
pertaining to the affordable housing units.
d. Parking spaces shall be offered only to residents and tenants served by the
off- street parking, except that any surplus space may be rented out to non-
residents or non - tenants with the provision that such spaces must be
vacated on 30 day notice if they become needed by tenants or residents.
e. Affordable units which include financing requirements that conflict with
these provisions may be granted an exception from these provisions by the
Community Development Director or Planning Board.
xvii. Open Space Sub- district Parking Requirements. Parking requirements for use of
Open Space Sub - district lands shall be determined within the context of the
Conditional Use Permit process for the proposed use.
Section 3. The Citywide Zoning Map shall be amended to change the zoning
designation for the parcels shown in Exhibit A. Zoning Map Amendments.
Section 4. Severability Clause. It is the declared intent of the City Council of Alameda
that if any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or provision of this
ordinance is held invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not be so construed as to render invalid or
unconstitutional the remaining provision of this ordinance.
Section 5. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after the
expiration of thirty (30) days from the date of its final passage.
Section 6. The above amendments shall be known as and referenced to as
Rezoning Amendments No. 217 to Ordinance No. 1277, N.S.
