2026 11-9 Planning Board Meeting

The City of Alameda Planning Board met on November 10, 2026 (the meeting title is dated November 9). The Board approved its 2027 meeting schedule, amended to replace July 26 with August 23 and November 22 with November 29. Its main study session covered the Shoreline Adaptation Plan and projects addressing sea-level rise, flooding, and erosion. Staff reported a Coastal Conservancy SB1 grant of slightly more than $1 million for the plan’s current phase, a Prop 68 grant supporting Bay Farm Island design work, and ongoing efforts to secure additional grants and federal funding for other shoreline projects. Staff also expects to develop a funding and implementation plan, including project costs and potential funding sources; a separate financial-advisor contract was mentioned, but no award or purchasing action was presented. The plan is being prepared under state SB 272, which requires shoreline adaptation plans to be updated every five years.

The Board unanimously approved a use permit and design review for the Oakland Roots and Soul temporary match-day venue at 1150 and 1220 Harbor Bay Parkway, with conditions addressing event limits, parking, traffic management, noise, and a one-year review. Board-requested follow-up included exploring express bus or shuttle service, bicycle access, use of the ferry parking lot for overflow parking, and traffic-management measures. These were land-use and operational decisions, not procurement awards. No contract award, RFP selection, or other purchasing approval was identified.
