WHEREAS, the City of Alameda Planning Board held a duly noticed public
hearing on December 11, 2023 and after examining all pertinent materials, unanimously
recommended that the City Council make the following findings and approve the Vesting
Tentative Map.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council makes the
following findings relative to the Vesting Tentative Map application:
1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is in conformance with the General Plan and Zoning for this
site (Gov. Code § 66474). The proposed tentative map is consistent with the
Adaptive Reuse and Medium Density Residential General Plan and MS and AR
Sub-District zoning designations for the property. The subdivision will create 23
lots for mixed use residential development and parks. The proposed subdivision
is designed to ensure lots face streets and parks, that the parcels are adequately
accessed by a grid of complete streets, pedestrian sidewalks, and bicycle paths
and lanes. The proposed parcels are also designed to accommodate a mix of
uses and a variety of housing types and incomes.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development (Gov. Code
§ 66474). The tentative map facilitates the development of the West Midway
and RESHAP projects consistent with the approved Agreements and approved
plans for those two projects, which will provide rental, for-sale, affordable housing
options, retail, commercial, that help create an economically balanced mixed-use
project. The tentative map also facilitates the conveyance of property for retail,
commercial, and public service uses along Pan Am Way consistent with General
Plan policies for the redevelopment of Alameda Point.
3. The site is physically suitable for the density of the development. The
proposed subdivision will not exceed the planned density for the land consistent
with the approved entitlements and General Plan policies.
4. The proposed design of the subdivision and improvements,as conditioned,
will not cause environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure
fish or wildlife or their habitat (Gov. Code § 66474). All future improvement
on the property will be subject to the environmental protections and mitigations
imposed by the FEIR and federal biological requirements stemming from the
2012 Alameda Point U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinion.
5. The design of the subdivision and its improvements will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of
property within the subdivision (Gov. Code § 66474). All future
improvements on the site will be subject to compliance with the MIP and Tentative
Map, and all necessary easements are to be provided.
6. The design of the subdivision and its improvements will not cause serious
public health problems (Gov. Code § 66474). Subdivision of the property will
facilitate investment in the property, which is necessary to upgrade the existing
substandard infrastructure and preserve public health and will comply with the
Alameda Point Soil Management Plan, as well as any hazardous materials
mitigations imposed by the FEIR.
7. Water will be available and sufficient to serve the proposed subdivision in
accordance with Government Code Section 66473.7. The subdivision has
been designed in accordance with the City of Alameda Master Infrastructure Plan
and the EBMUD water supply determinations.
8. The subdivision will not result in the discharge of waste into the sewer
system that would violate regional water quality control regulations in
accordance with Government Code Section 66474.6. The subdivision has
been designed in accordance with the City of Alameda Master Infrastructure Plan
and EBMUD standards.
9. The design of the subdivision for which a tentative map is required
pursuant to Section 66426 of the Government Code of the state of California
shall provide, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or
cooling opportunities in accordance with Section 66473.1 of the
Government Code. The proposed subdivision is located in an area of the Bay
Area that is well suited for passive cooling and heating opportunities due to its
location at the end of a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides.
10. In approving the vesting tentative map, the City Council has considered its
effect upon the housing needs of the region, balanced with the public
service needs of Alameda residents and available fiscal and environmental
resources (Gov. Code § 66412.3); and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council finds that the potential
environmental impacts of the project have been evaluated and disclosed pursuant to
CEQA. Pursuant to the streamlining provision of Public Resources Section 21083.3 and
Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines, no further environmental review is required
because the proposed Tentative Map is consistent with an adopted Main Street Specific
Plan and Alameda Point Zoning Ordinance for the area; the environmental impacts of
the development of the area consistent with the Specific Plan and Zoning Ordinance
were considered in the Alameda Point Project (APP) Final Environmental Impact Report
(FEIR) adopted by the City Council on February 4, 2014, in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); the Tentative Map is also consistent with
and implements the City of Alameda Housing Element Program #1 Alameda Point
adopted on November 15, 2022; the environmental impacts of the Housing Element and
the development of the programs included in the Housing Element and associated sites
inventory were considered in the General Plan Update EIR adopted by the City Council
on November 30, 2021; and the Tentative Map would not result in significant impacts
that: (1) are peculiar to the project or project site; (2) were not already identified as
significant effects, cumulative effects, or off-site effects in the FEIR and General Plan
Update EIR; or (3)were previously identified as significant effects; but are determined to
be substantially more severe than discussed in the FEIR and General Plan Update EIR;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby approves the
Vesting Large Lot Tentative Map (TRACT 8696) to subdivide a 160.64-acre City
owned parcel (APN 74-1368-18-4) into 23 lots, 3 remainder parcels and associated
public rights of way, subject to the following conditions:

AMC. The plans shall be prepared, signed and stamped as approved by a
registered civil engineer licensed in the State of California. The engineer shall also
assume responsibility for inspection of the on-site construction work, including but
not limited to parking lots, pathways, storm facilities and, sewer facilities, and shall

accordance with City ordinances, Public Works Department standards and the

respect to such improvements and shall include curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street

twenty-four (24) months of approval, or conditional approval of the Tentative Map
by the City Council. The City may, upon the subdivider' s application filed before
the Tentative Map' s expiration date, extend its life for an additional period or
