See our video visually showing the detrimental impact of these changes. Check back to this page for updates on this project.

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 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.
