The City of Alameda encourages local residents and businesses to attend the July 23 City Council meeting at 7:00 p.m. Staff is recommending that the City Council endorse an updated vision statement and planning guide for development at the former Naval Air Station Alameda (Alameda Point). This public hearing is one of many upcoming opportunities for community members to get involved in the plans for development of Alameda Point.
Now that the City owns significant portions of Alameda Point, the City is leading a planning effort that will pave the way for new development at Alameda Point. As part of this process, the City is preparing the following documents, which are slated for completion by January, 2014:
- Environmental Impact Report;
- Master Infrastructure Plan;
- Alameda Point Zoning Ordinance and General Plan Amendments;
- Alameda Point Town Center and Waterfront Precise Plan;
- Alameda Point Transit Access Study;
- Alameda Point Transportation Demand Management Program.
“These are the last major planning documents needed for the City to attract private investment and put a shovel in the ground at Alameda Point,” stated Jennifer Ott, Chief Operating Officer – Alameda Point. “We are seeking broad public involvement in this crucial planning process so that we can ensure that future development at Alameda Point reflects a community-supported vision.”
Community members may participate in the planning process and the review of the latest draft planning documents in a variety of ways, including:
