Resolution 12286CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 12286
AMENDING THE ALAMEDA GENERAL PLAN DIAGRAM FOR A PORTION
OF PARCEL B AT ALAMEDA MARINA VILLAGE
WHEREAS, Alameda Real Estate Investments has requested General
Plan Amendment GPA-92-2 for a portion of Parcel B of Marina Village
(referred to hereinafter as Parcel B) which would change the land
use designation on the General Plan Diagram from "Medium Density
Residential" to "Business Park" for an approximately 2.5 acre
portion as shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, Parcel B, Marina Village is located within the Plan
area for the West End Community Improvement Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board of the City of Alameda has held
a public hearing on the application for the General Plan Amendment
92-2, has examined pertinent maps, drawings, and the staff report
and other related documents and voted on June 8, 1992, to recommend
to the City Council approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment
>_92-2; and
WHEREAS, on July 7, 1992, the Council of the City of Alameda
conducted a public hearing and considered the Revised Negative
Declaration, General Plan Amendment for Parcel B of Marina Village,
and has examined pertinent maps, drawings, documents, the
recommendation from the Planning Board, and the Council staff
report for the July 7, 1992 meeting; and
WHEREAS, the City Council on July 7, 1992 adopted a resolution
approving the Negative Declaration for GPA-92-2 and MPA-92-1 for
Marina Village; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds the proposed residential,
office, and open space uses for Parcel B are an appropriate mix of
uses, well suited to the Marina Village project as a whole, and
that the revised land use designation fulfills General Plan
policies; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has made the following findings:
1. The General Plan Amendment 92-2 would not be inconsistent
with the policies of the General Plan set out in the
following paragraphs for the reasons stated:
Policy: Maintain views and access to the water along streets and
other public rights-of-way that extend to the bulkhead
line. Construct benches, ramps, rails and seating
appropriate for viewing and access, and provide walls or
other screening where needed to protect adjoining
property (Policy 3.2.d). GPA-92-2 is not inconsistent
with the policy, since the change in land use would
affect a 2.5 acres portion of land, located outside of
the shoreline band. Public access would be provided at
the shoreline, adjacent to the area that would be
affected by the General Plan Amendment.
Policy: Where a suitable residential environmental can be
created, give priority to housing on land to be developed
or redevelopment in order to meet the quantified
objectives of the Housing Element (Policy 2.4.b). GPA-
92 -2 is not inconsistent with this policy, since only a
shall portion (2.5 acres) would be changed from a "Medium
Density Residential" to "Business Park" designation. The
remainder of the area designated for "Medium Density
Residential" would not be changed. The attributes of the
subject site suggest that it is more suitable for
conversion to office use than retention for housing, due
to its proximity to other office development on the
Marina Village site.
2. The General Plan Amendment 92 -2 would be supportive of
the following General Plan discussion related to Marina
Village:
This 205 -acre mixed use project on the site of the
former Bethlehem Shipyard will include 1.3 million
square feet of office- research and development space
and 4,300 jobs.
WHEREAS, the Council has been advised that subject to meeting
City standards and requirements, and subject to amending the Marina
Village Master Plan, and the City of Alameda General Plan, the
proposed development for Parcel B which would be allowed by GPA-
92-2 would be consistent with the Plan for the West End Community
Improvement Project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed General Plan
Amendment 92 -2 will have no significant adverse effect on the
welfare of the community.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Alameda that
the Alameda General Plan Diagram is amended as follows:
The land use designation shall be changed from "Medium Density
Residential" to "Business Park" for an approximately 2.5 acre
portion of the area identified as Parcel B on the Marina Village
Property as shown on Exhibit "A" to this resolution.
EXHBIT A — AMENDMENT TO GENERAL PLAN DIAGRAM FOR PARCEL B MARINA VILLAGE
GPA 92 -2.
