Read the General Plan + Supporting Documents
The Alameda General Plan is organized by chapters or “elements”. Each chapter or element addresses a different subject matter and identifies the community’s goals while setting forth a series of policies, and in some cases, actions to achieve those goals.
The City of Alameda accepted comments on the DEIR from May 6, 2021 until June 25, 2021. The Alameda Planning Board held a public hearing to receive comments on the DEIR at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board on June 14, 2021 @ 7:00pm (via Zoom). The City Council certified the Final EIR on November 30, 2021.
On Nov. 15, 2022, the City Council adopted the Housing Element update. In doing so, Alameda becomes the first city in the Bay Area to adopt their Housing Element for the 2023-2031 cycle.
