Walnut Capital Zoning Proposal 2021-1906


Warning: Undefined variable $output in /home2/oakcliff/public_html/wp-content/themes/mw-small-Oakcliffe/functions.php on line 103

1906Built

OCO is opposed to this legislation with significant and sweeping changes to the zoning for some parts of Oakland, loss of Residential Compatibility Standards (RCS) and the extreme increase in allowable building heights. See our video visually showing the detrimental impact of these changes.  Check back to this page for updates on this project.

This video link below is about Walnut Capital’s Oakland Crossings proposal that is phase 1 of the larger Oakland Plan.

The Oakland Plan was before the City Planning Commission Tuesday 6/14/22 at 2pm.

When 2021-1906 was presented at the June 15 City Council Standing Committee, an amendment was added to change the 400′ permitted length to 425′. As this amendment had not been made public, the City Solicitor advised action on it could not be taken. It is being held in Standing Committee until Wednesday, June 22 and thus a Council vote on it could not be until Tuesday, June 28, which is after the scheduled June 23 Development Activities Meeting. Since it doesn’t make sense to have a DAM when the governing zoning is not known, the DAM is being rescheduled for July, date not yet confirmed.

The Oakland Plan
 
The Oakland Plan will create a 10-year plan with a shared vision for Oakland's future and the projects and programs necessary to make that vision a reality.
 
Once adopted by the Planning Commission, the Oakland Plan will become City policy and guide public and private investments in the area. New land use regulations, transportation and infrastructure improvements, and public programs may also be recommended by the plan. The plan area generally includes the neighborhoods of North Oakland, Central Oakland, South Oakland, and West Oakland.

City Of Pgh Snow Angels Program 2020-21


Warning: Undefined variable $output in /home2/oakcliff/public_html/wp-content/themes/mw-small-Oakcliffe/functions.php on line 103

City Of Pittsburgh Snow Angels Program 
 
Snow covered sidewalks can be hazardous for everyone. Pittsburgh Snow Angels is a program that helps minimize the hardships of winter by pairing volunteers with elderly or disabled residents to assist with snow removal. 
 
Along with fostering stronger community relationships and relieving some of the stress that comes from a snow storm, Snow Angels makes our sidewalks safer for those who are outside during winter weather – like postal carriers, firefighters, and police officers. 
 
You can sign up online to offer help as a volunteer. The Snow Angels Program will work to pair you with a nearby neighbor. We will be in touch when you have been matched with a neighbor in need. 
 
See the attached flyer or visit the website for more info or to volunteer.
