WHEREAS, on February 4, 2014, by Resolution No. 14891, the City Council of the
City of Alameda certified the Final Alameda Point Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)
(State Clearinghouse No. 201312043) under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), Qalifornia Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. and adopted written

WHEREAS, Site A is designated as Mixed Use in the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, Site A is located within the Alameda Point Waterfront Town Center
Sub-district (WTC Sub-district), which is in the Alameda Point District [Alameda Municipal
Code (AMC) 30-4.24] of the Zoning Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the WTC Sub-District requires a Master Plan, which was prepared
and approved on July 15, 2014 (Town Center Plan) and relied on the FEIR; and
WHEREAS, the City Council approved the Development Plan for Site A on June
16, 2015 consistent with the Town Center Plan; and
WHEREAS, subdivision of the property will facilitate the development of Site A
consistent with the approved Development Plan; and
WHEREAS, subdivision of the property will occur in phases consistent with the
tentative map application; and
WHEREAS, on October 14, 2019, the Planning Board held a duly noticed public
hearing and examined all pertinent materials, and recommended the City Council approve
Tentative Map Tract No. 8532; and
WHEREAS, on December 3, 2019, the City Council reviewed Tentative Map Tract
No. 8532· and all pertinent maps, documents, and exhibits and determlned 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 makes the following
findings relative to Tentative Map Tract No. 8532:
1 . The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the General Plan, Zoning, and the Town Center
Specific Plan. The proposed tentative map is consistent with the Mixed Use General
Plan and WTC Sub-District zoning designation and Town Center Plan for Phase 2 of
Site A. The subdivision will create three residential lots, two commercial lots, and one
public parcel for parking. 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. The tentative map
facilitates the development of Phase 2 of Site A consistent with the Town Center Plan
at the gateway of Alameda Point, and is intended to provided housing options,
commercial and office use opportunities that help create an economically balanced
mixed-use project. The tentative map also provides a new public parking lot to be used
by the public when they visit the area.
3. The site is physically suitable for the density of the development. The proposed
subdivision will not exceed the planned density for Phase 2 of Site A, as allowed in
the Town Center Plan and in the approved in the Development Plan, which sets forth
a maximum development for Site A of 800 residential units, up to 600,000 square feet
of retail, hotel, and commercial uses, which would occupy new buildings and
repurposed existing buildings, 13.35 acres of parks and open space, new and
replacement utilities and infrastructure, and new streets and streetscape
improvements.
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. All future improvement on Phase 2 of Site A will be subject
to the environmental protections and mitigations imposed by the FEIR and federal
biological requirements stemming from the August 29, 2012 Biological Opinion of the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for Alameda Point.
5. The ge~ig ,n . Qf 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. 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. Subdivision of the prop·erty 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 FEI R; and
7. The subdivision will not result in the discharge of waste into the sewer system that
would violate regional water quality control regulations; and
8. In approving the tentative map, the City Council has considered its effect upon the
housing needs of the region, balanced with the public service needs of City residents
and available fiscal and environmental resources; and
BE IT FURTHER 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, finds that the potential
environmental impacts of the project have been evaluated and disclosed in the FEI R,
and that none of the circumstances necessitating further CEQA review are present; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby approves the
Tentative Map Tract 8532, subject to the following conditions of approval:
