INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN AND ZONING DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the City of Alameda submitted an application to create four parcels
for four existing buildings and a remainder parcel on West Tower Avenue at Alameda
Point; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan designation for the property is Alameda Point Mixed
Use; and
WHEREAS, the property is located within the Alameda Point Adaptive Reuse
Zoning Sub-district; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan and Zoning District regulations encourage adaptive
reuse of the buildings in the Naval Air Station Alameda Historic District (Historic
District); and
WHEREAS, subdivision of the property for conveyance purposes will facilitate
adaptive reuse and reinvestment in the property and the Historic District; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board held a noticed public hearing and examined all
pertinent materials on December 14, 2015 and unanimously recommended that the
tentative subdivision map be approved subject to the conditions of approval; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a noticed public hearing and examined all pertinent
materials on January 19, 2016 and made the following findings relative to the proposed
tentative subdivision map application:
A. The proposed tentative subdivision map is in conformance with the General
Plan and Zoning for this site. The proposed tentative map is consistent with the
Mixed Use General Plan and Adaptive Reuse zoning designations for the property.
B. The site is physically suitable for the proposed development. The proposed
tentative subdivision map is for conveyance purposes only and facilitates the adaptive
reuse and reinvestment in the four buildings on the property which are contributors to
the Historic District. All future development or rehabilitation of these buildings will be
subject to the Adaptive Reuse Zoning Sub-district and the Secretary of Interior
Standards.
C. The site is physically suitable for the density of the development. The proposed
tentative subdivision map will not increase the density of the existing development on
the site. Any future development of the properties will be subject to review under the
Adaptive Reuse Zoning Sub - district to ensure that the proposed development is
suitable for the site, compatible with the biological regulations and consistent with the
Historic District designation.
D. The proposed design of the tentative subdivision map and improvements, as
conditioned, will not cause environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. All future improvements on the site
will be subject to existing regulations, permits, and deed restrictions designed to
protect wildlife on the adjacent federal property.
E. The design of the tentative subdivision map will not conflict with easements
acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the
subdivision. All future improvements on the site will be subject to compliance with
the Alameda Point Master Infrastructure Plan, which ensures that all necessary
easements are preserved.
F. The design of the tentative subdivision map and its improvements, if any, will
not cause serious public health problems. Subdivision of the property will facilitate
re- investment in the existing properties, which is necessary to upgrade the existing
substandard infrastructure and preserve public health; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the potential environmental impacts of the
project have been evaluated and disclosed pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). On February 4, 2014, the City of Alameda certified the Alameda
Point Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act. The FEIR evaluated the environmental impacts of
redevelopment and reuse of the lands within the Alameda Point zoning district, which
