2026-06-22 Planning Board Meeting

The City of Alameda Planning Board held a meeting on June 22, 2026, focusing primarily on two key agenda items: a study session on the Oakland Roots soccer team's proposal to host professional matches at their Harbor Bay Parkway facility, and a resolution recommending amendments to the city's accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance. The board discussed the soccer proposal's potential impacts on traffic, parking, noise, and community benefits, with public comments both supporting and opposing the project. The board emphasized the need for further traffic and noise studies before final approval. Regarding the ADU ordinance, the board reviewed updates to comply with state laws, including provisions for ADU condominium conversions, design standards, and impact fees. After clarifications and public input, the board voted to recommend the ordinance amendments to the city council with agreed-upon revisions. The meeting also included acknowledgments of board member service and routine staff communications.
