Central Estuary Implementation Guide
The City of Oakland is preparing the Central Estuary Implementation Guide and related environmental document, to guide future development in the Central Estuary Area. The project focuses on four subareas within the larger estuary area where some land use change from existing conditions is anticipated. The project entails the rezoning of these areas consistent with direction from the Estuary Policy Plan, as well as General Plan Amendments to increase the allowable Floor Area Ratios. In addition, the Implementation Guide will include design guidelines and development standards for the various subareas.
The Implementation Guide contemplates less change from existing conditions than envisioned during the community outreach process of 2009. The reduction in change reflects the City Council adopted preferred alternative. The City’s 1999 Estuary Policy Plan (EPP) Policy MF-2 calls for the preparation of such a guide.
