2026 5-26 Planning Board Meeting

The City of Alameda Planning Board held a meeting on May 27, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing a master plan amendment for the Alameda Marina housing development project. The discussion centered on changes to the city's inclusionary housing ordinance, which affects the number and distribution of deed-restricted affordable housing units in the project's final phase. The board reviewed the status of building permits and construction timelines, with the developer confirming plans to begin construction in July 2026, contingent on city council approval of the ordinance amendment. The board approved the consent calendar items and subsequently approved the master plan amendment, supporting the project's progression. Staff also provided updates on recent residential remodel approvals and upcoming ordinance readings related to affordable housing and zoning. No new procurement contracts or budget allocations were discussed during the meeting.
