City officials announced late Tuesday night that SunCal is no longer in default of its exclusive deal to negotiate a development agreement at Alameda Point and that they are moving forward with plans to study the environmental impact of redeveloping the former Naval base.

Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant said she’d be sending SunCal’s reps a letter today with a series of questions about transportation, affordable housing, financial issues and SunCal’s assertion that they may seek to use state and local affordable housing laws to increase the size of their development. But those issues will be worked out in the city and SunCal’s weekly negotiating sessions, she said.
