Since the last regularly scheduled Planning Board meeting, the following applications have been reviewed by staff, and public notices have been sent to solicit neighborhood input.  Decisions on these applications will be made on the dates noted below.  Staff will provide an update at the Planning Board meeting during Staff Communications if changes to the status of any project occur. 

 

Decisions become final unless a member of the public files an appeal during the 10-day appeal period immediately following the decision date, or the Planning Board or City Council call for review a Zoning Administrator or Community Development Department decision during this appeal period.  All appeals and call for reviews will be heard at a public hearing before the Planning Board.

CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL- The project consists of the removal of an approximately 45-foot tall Coast Live Oak tree with a 25-inch diameter trunk. According to an arborist report submitted October 15, 2018, the Coast Live Oak tree must be removed because it is causing damage to the foundation and roof of an existing detached garage.  General Plan: Medium-Density Residential Zoning: R-4 (Neighborhood Residential) Zoning District.  Environmental Determination: Exempt, Section 15301 - Existing Facilities. Project Planner:  Brandon H DeLucas, (510)747-6819, bdelucas@alamedaca.gov <mailto:bdelucas@alamedaca.gov>.
