important announcement Safeway has officially completed the purchase of the 76 Gas
Station site and is proceeding with the process of getting
approval for their 2.1 acre Shopping Center Project at the corner of College and
Claremont Avenues. The City of Oakland has prepared the Initial Study that identifies areas of probable environmental effects. You can find this online at the following links: The Initial Study and related Notice of Preparation. The Initial Study is 69 pages, but is easily read in a couple of hours. scoping hearing information The Planning Commission will have the EIR Scoping Hearing on the Draft EIR at Oakland City Hall One Frank H. Ogawa Plaza Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room 1 (1st floor to the right as you enter) Oakland, CA 94612 on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 beginning at 6 PM. This issue is the second agenda item, but sometimes the order is revised, so it would be best if you plan on attending to be there by 6 PM. City Hall is adjacent to the 12th Street Station of BART. Parking is available in the garage on Clay Street, between 14th and 15th Streets and you can get your parking slip validated at the hearing so it is free (doing City business). This is the only meeting where people who wish to speak publically to the Planning Commissioners (and be heard by others) on the Initial Study can do so. People do so by filling out a speaker card. Usually, speakers are limited to 2 minutes, however, they will allow one person to cede their time to another so that speakers can get a total of four minutes max if another is willing to give up their time. Comments on the Initial Study must be limited to Environmental issues only; noise, air quality, transportation and traffic. However, we believe that this project is in conflict with C-31 zoning and therefore FANS members will request that Land Use and Planning issues that have potentially significant impacts on the area and are in conflict with C-31 zoning issues also be included in the EIR Study. Any comments and/or questions should be directed in writing to: Pete Vollman, Planner III City of Oakland Community & Economic Development Agency 250 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Suite 2114 Oakland, CA 94612 Phone is 510-238-6167 Fax is 510-238-4730 Email is pvollman@oaklandnet.com Reference Case Number ER09-0006 in all communication. Comments must be received no later than 4PM on December 1, 2009 If you send in anything in writing FANS requests that you copy susan@fansco.org. We also request that you copy District 1 Council Member Jane Brunner at jbrunner@oaklandnet.com and her Chief of Staff Zac Wald at zwald@oaklandnet.com We look forward to many of you attending and speaking up. |
