North Housing Parcel

The culmination of the LRA's obligations is the completion of an amendment to the NAS
Alameda Community Reuse Plan. "Amendment #1: Main Street Neighborhoods Update" will
primarily address the need to plan for the reuse of the newly declared 42 surplus acres and
include an update of redevelopment efforts in this subarea of NAS Alameda. The approximately
300-acre Main Street Neighborhoods, as defined in the 1996 NAS Alameda Community Reuse
Plan, are primarily residential, with some civic and industrial uses. The older residential areas
were developed for military housing. Within the Main Street Neighborhoods, the majority of
existing housing units west of Main Street are occupied by market-rate tenants and residents
of the Alameda Point Collaborative. East of Main Street, older housing units are occupied by
the U. S. Coast Guard or were recently declared surplus the Navy. The 42 acres of surplus
housing units are referred to as the North Housing Parcel. The North Housing Parcel includes
282 housing units and eight acres of outdoor recreation facilities. New homes east of Main
Street include the 87-acre, 586-housing unit master-planned Bayport community.

The Base Realignment and Closure Act requires community outreach and opportunities for
participation in the amendment process, which will include one or two public workshops in
Summer 2008. The workshops will be an opportunity for the community to understand any
recommended accommodation for homeless providers, as well as the public benefit
conveyances, and to consider and prioritize other reuse opportunities for the land given various
constraints such as the Navy's environmental clean-up schedule, access, and adjacent land
uses. Once completed, the ARRA Board will be asked to conduct a public hearing to adopt the
Community Reuse Plan amendment. Finally, HUD must approve the amendment.

The "Amendments #1: Main Street Neighborhoods Update" will serve the following purposes:

- Reflects community consensus for civilian reuse;
- Guides the Military Department's property redevelopment environmental analysis,
required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA); and
- Is used in considering property disposal conveyance options.

Once community consensus is reached, the LRA can update the base reuse plan and can then
incorporate the Amendment into the local comprehensive land use plan, followed by zoning,
capital improvements programming, and long-term planning and implementation strategies in
the context of comprehensive community development.

- Water will be periodically turned
on in each unit to keep all drain
taps (sinks, tubs, toilets, etc.)
"wet" and the main water valve in
the boiler room of each building

will be hauled off and
