AMENDING THE ALAMEDA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 30-4.17 -
G, SPECIAL GOVERNMENT COMBINING DISTRICT AND THE
ZONING MAP TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE CITY
OF ALAMEDA MUNICIPAL CODE AND ZONING MAP AND THE NAS
ALAMEDA COMMUNITY REUSE PLAN FOR THE 37.36 ACRES OF
FEDERAL PROPERTY LOCATED ON SINGLETON AVENUE ON
THE FORMER NAVAL AIR STAION IN ALAMEDA
BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Alameda:
Findings:
In enacting this Section, the City Council finds as follows:
The amendments maintain the integrity of the General Plan. The proposed
zoning text and zoning map amendments are necessary to ensure consistency
between the NAS Alameda Community Reuse Plan, the General Plan Land Use
Element, and the Alameda Municipal Code. The zoning text and map amendments
ensure that the property is developed in a manner and at a density that is consistent
with the U.S Navy's Environmental Impact Statement for conveyance of the property
to a private entity and that the conveyance and ultimate development of the property
is consistent with the Community Reuse Plan for the property.
2. The amendments will support the general welfare of the community. The
proposed zoning text and map amendments will support the general welfare of the
community by establishing clear standards for a variety of housing types and
densities consistent with State Government Code requirements and the Community
Reuse Plan. This action also insures the orderly development of the City's Northern
Waterfront due to the addition of 800 new residential units at the Alameda Point
Waterfront Town Center approved by the City Council in June 2015.
3. The amendments are equitable. The proposed zoning amendment is equitable in
that it establishes appropriate processes and procedures for the review of future
residential development proposals and ensures equal access to all income groups
and household types consistent with the Community Reuse Plan.
4. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed Zoning
Amendments would not result in any new environmental impacts or more severe
environmental impacts than those previously identified with the adoption of the
Community Reuse Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and 2009 Addendum or
the Housing Element 2012 Addendum to the Transportation Element EIR.

the property bv a private or public entity shall limit the number of housing units
on the property to a maximum of 435 units, unless an affordable housing

maximum number of units may be increased consistent with Section 30 -17.

private or public entities other than the United States or State of California of

additional findings can be made:

substantial new development;

governmental entity should the interim use occur concurrent with
continuing operations by a governmental entity;
4. The interim use will not be detrimental to the ultimate redevelopment of
the property or the potential resumption of use of the property by the
governmental agency; and
5. The interim use is consistent with an interim leasing program adopted
by the City.
d e. An interim leasing program shall be adopted by the City prior to interim
use, as provided in subsection (c) herein. The interim leasing program shall be
for a specific parcel or parcels, shall specify permitted land uses, consistent
with the underlying zoning district, and shall specify the maximum time frame
for which a Use Permit may be granted. In the absence of an adopted interim
leasing program, all interim leases shall require rezoning.
Section 2. The Citywide Zoning Map shall be amended to add the G, Special
Government Combining District designation to the 37.36 acres of land identified by
Assessor's Parcel Numbers APN- 74090501002 and APN- 74090501202.

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.

of thirty (30) days from the date of its final passage.
