New Questions

The NASNaval Air Station Alameda Community Reuse Plan was adopted in 1996 as a guiding document for the conversion of Naval Air Station-Alameda to civilian use. It is the guiding document for the No-cost Economic Development Conveyance of land from the Navy to Alameda that begins in late 2012.

The objectives outlined in the Community Reuse Plan are:

• Seamlessly integrate Alameda Point with the rest of the city
• Foster a vibrant new neighborhood
• Maximize waterfront accessibility
• De-emphasize the automobile and make new development compatible with transportation capacity

The projected date for completion of cleanup by the Navy is 2017.

A Density Bonus Ordinance was adopted by the city council on December 1, 2009.
The ordinance allows developers to exceed current zoning density limitations by five to 35 percent in exchange for constructing affordable housing, senior housing and child care facilities.

The Density Bonus Ordinance brings Alameda in line with current state code regarding this form of developer incentive. We don’t know how many units would be possible at Alameda Point using the density bonus ordinance because we do not know what land plan this would be applied to at this time.

The first parcel of land will be conveyed by the end of 2012. Other parcels will be conveyed as environmental cleanup is completed, with final conveyance expected by 2019.

A new bridge is not feasible due to the height required by the Port of Oakland. A drawbridge is unlikely, as it would interfere with the rapid response requirement of the Coast Guard ships located at Coast Guard Island.

We are not aware of any feasibility studies ever performed on the construction of an additional tunnel to Oakland. However, the 1998 “Draft Report – Alameda Point Financing Plan" assumes that no new bridge or tunnel will be built due to the report's educated guess that either crossing would cost between $300 and $700 million (in 1998 dollars).

The northeast and northwest corners of the Seaplane Lagoon were contaminated with PCBs, cadmium, pesticides, and radium that was sent into storm drains that emptied into the lagoon. The practice of dumping toxics into storm drains ended in the early 1970s with the passage of the Clean Water Act. The Navy has finished dredging the northeast corner and is in the process of removing the sediment. The northwest corner dredging will commence in January of 2012 and be completed by the end of March 2012.

Yes. At its November 2009 meeting, the WETAWater Emergency Transportation Authority Board unanimously approved a $200,000 design and engineering contract for the facility. WETA presented conceptual drawings of the proposed facility at a September 2010 Alameda Planning Board meeting at city hall. In June 2011 an environmental report was adopted by the WETA Board.

Work is expected to begin in October 2012.

The contract currently being negotiated between the city and WETA is for a 65-year lease. Lease revenue from the facility would be $58,000 per year and go to the city’s general fund, and not the ARRAAlameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority. The City Council acts in this capacity. fund.
