MEASURE: Proposed Ballot Measure of the City of Alameda
Shall an ordinance confirming the City Council's actions to
permit reuse of vacant federal buildings on a 3.65 -acre parcel
on McKay Avenue and allow for the development of a wellness
center for senior assisted living and supportive services for
homeless individuals by changing the General Plan
designation from "Federal Facilities" to "Office," removing the
Government Combining District classification and maintaining
the existing zoning district designation, be adopted?
SECTION 2. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of
this Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.
SECTION 3. CEQA. The Caring Alameda Act seeks to confirm the City Council's
actions on December 4, 2018, and December 18, 2018, which were based on the City
Council's findings and determination that the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
project adequately addresses the potential environmental impacts of the project in
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The City Council's
findings and determinations in connection with its adoption of Resolution No. 15461 are
hereby incorporated by this reference for the purposes of the Caring Alameda Act. As a
separate and independent basis, this action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines sections 15061(b)(3) (no significant environmental impact) and 15378 as it
does not constitute a project within the meaning of CEQA because it does not have the
potential for resulting in a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon its adoption.
I, the undersigned, hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly
and regularly adopted and passed by the Council of the City of Alameda in regular
