Resolution 15570CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 15570
APPROVING TENTATIVE MAP NO. 8500 FOR THE PROPOSED
SUBDIVISION OF THE ALAMEDA MARINA PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 1815 CLEMENT AVENUE (PLN16-0363)
WHEREAS, the Alameda Marina property is a 44-acre site located at 1815
Clement Avenue in the City of Alameda, which consists of approximately 27 acres of
uplands and submerged lands owned by Alameda Marina, LLC (applicant) (APN 071-
0257-003-01 and 071-0288-001-02), and approximately 17 acres of waterfront and
submerged lands owned by the City of Alameda (City) in trust for the State of California
that are leased to the applicant (APN 071-0288-003 and 071-0257-004); and
WHEREAS, the Alameda Marina site is designated as Specified Mixed Use
(MU4 Northern Waterfront (Grand Street to Willow Street)), which encourages a
residential, commercial, maritime and open space mix of uses in the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, approximately 27 acres of the Alameda Marina site is designated
MX (Mixed Use) with an MF (Multi-family Residential Combining Zone) overlay, and
approximately 17 acres of the Alameda Marina site is designated M-2 (General
Industrial) in the Alameda Municipal Code (AMC) Zoning Map; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan and AMC require preparation of a Master Plan to
guide development of the property consistent with the General Plan and AMC; and
WHEREAS, in July 2018, the Alameda City Council certified the Alameda Marina
Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) and approved the Alameda Marina
Master Plan, which established standards, maps and diagrams for the development of a
mixed use plan for the property that provides for up to 760 multifamily housing units, up
to 250,000 square feet of commercial and maritime commercial space, about 3.59 acres
of shoreline open space, about 17.1 acres dedicated to marina operations, and a 530
slip marina; and
WHEREAS, the Final EIR and Alameda Marina Master Plan expressly
contemplate subdivision map approval, and the AMC and Master Plan provide
standards for the submittal and approval of a Tentative Map for the property; and
WHEREAS, in December 2018, Alameda Marina, LLC submitted an application
for a tentative map and requested clarifying amendments to the Master Plan in support
of the Master Plan's vision for the property; and
WHEREAS, on June 24, 2019, the City Planning Board held a duly noticed public
hearing to review Tentative Map No. 8500 and clarifying amendments to the Master
Plan, made California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) findings, and unanimously
recommended that the City Council approve Tentative Map No. 8500 and any
necessary Master Plan amendments if needed; and
WHEREAS, on July 16, 2019, the City Council reviewed Tentative Map No. 8500
and all pertinent maps, documents, and exhibits and determined that the Tentative Map
is consistent with the General Plan, AMC and Master Plan requirements for the
property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council, based on its own
independent review, consideration, and exercise of its independent judgment,
determined, on the basis of substantial evidence in the entire record before the City,
that none of the circumstances necessitating further CEQA review are present, and
thus, prior to approving the Tentative Map, the City can rely on the Final EIR.
Specifically, the City Council affirms and adopts as its own, the findings and
determinations in Resolution No. 15413 and exhibits thereto, including without limitation
the discussion, findings, conclusions, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program,
each of which is hereby separately and independently adopted by the City Council in
full, as if fully set forth herein, and all mitigation measures specified in the EIR shall be
included as conditions of approval for the project development plans required by the
Master Plan; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council makes the following findings
pertaining to Tentative Map No. 8500:
1. The subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the General Plan, Zoning, and Master Plan
for this site. The Tentative Map is consistent with the Specified Mixed Use
(MU4 Northern Waterfront) General Plan designation, which encourages a
residential, commercial, maritime and open space mix of uses, and the MX Mixed
Use and MF Multifamily Zoning District, and the M-2 General Industrial
requirements for the site. The uses are compatible with the objectives, policies,
general land uses, and programs specified in the Mixed Use General Plan
designation of the General Plan. The City Council also finds that the proposed
Tentative Map is in substantial conformance with the Master Plan. As described
in the Staff Report, the Tentative Map preserves a Master Plan view and
pedestrian corridor, but relocates the corridor to improve public safety on the
Clement Avenue Cross Alameda Trail. The Tentative Map maintains and
ensures provision of a dry boat storage area, but eliminates an unnecessary
driveway connection to Grand Street.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of the
development. The 44 acre site is designated Specified Mixed Use (MU4
Northern Waterfront) in the General Plan and zoned MX, MF, and M-2. The site
will be subdivided to conform to and implement the Alameda Marina Master Plan
vision, development standards, residential density, and requirements for the
property. The proposed subdivision is consistent with density standards of the
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and the Tentative Map will not change the
previously approved Master Plan, which was found to be consistent with
development standards in the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
3. The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements, as
conditioned, will not cause environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed Tentative Map
implements and supports the Alameda Marina Master Plan, which included
conditions of approval to ensure that no unintended environmental damage could
occur. The Master Plan was fully considered in the Alameda Marina
Environmental Impact Report.
4. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements for access through or use of property within the
subdivision. All future improvements on the site will be subject, where
applicable, to compliance with the Alameda Marina Master Plan, which ensures
that all necessary easements and public rights-of-way are preserved.
5. The design of the subdivision and its improvements will not cause serious
public health problems. The previously approved Master Plan includes
conditions that assure the property would not adversely affect public health.
Creation of the Tentative Map for the property will facilitate re-investment in the
existing properties, which is necessary for any future upgrades to the existing
substandard infrastructure and to preserve public health.
6. The subdivision will not result in the discharge of waste into the sewer
system that would violate regional water quality control regulations; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council approves Tentative Map No.
8500, subject to the following Conditions of Approval.
