UBA responds to the CCA Draft Environmental Impact Report
UBA's volunteers analyzed the CCA Draft EIR and submitted a detailed response to the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board and the Oakland Planning Commission.
UBA reviewed the CCA Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) and submitted our comments to both the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board (LPAB) and the Oakland Planning Commission. Our volunteers analyzed how the proposed project would affect the environment of North Oakland, and submitted a lengthy, detailed response focused on the issues our community has told us are of primary concern: traffic and congestion, aesthetics, affordability, zoning, fire and life safety, trees and green space, historic and cultural preservation, sustainability, and density.
According to the City’s synopsis, the CCA project may include:
- The demolition of 10 historic buildings within the CCA Area of Primary Importance (API);
- Preservation and renovation of the two Treadwell Estate Oakland Landmark buildings and the Broadway wall and stairs;
- Renovation of 63,727 square feet of open space;
- Development of up to 510 residential units in two buildings of up to ten stories (95 feet high);
- 16,945 square feet of commercial space; and
- 227 parking spaces and 510 bicycle spaces.
