Dear Mayor and Members of City Council,
I am pleased to write this letter of support for the proposed redevelopment plan from Alameda Point Partners. It is my hope that this project at Alameda Point will lay the foundation for greater accessibility to the arts through the land that APP will be donating toward the development of a performing arts center adjacent to this site. While I understand the concerns about the increased density that will occur due to more housing and development on the island, I also support the City of Alameda’s general plan and need to address the housing element and believe this project by APP will help meet those regional housing requirements.
APP has been very supportive of the arts in Alameda and creating more affordable housing will provide more opportunities for artists to be able to live, work and play at this desirable location.
Sincerely,
Tina Blaine

RE:
Alameda
Point
Site
A,
Agenda
Item
7-A
Dear
Mayor
and
City
Council,
We
are
supportive
of
the
proposed
amendment
to
the
Site
A
development
plan
by
Alameda
Point
Partners,
for
your
consideration
on
May
17,
2022.
Brookfield
and
Catellus,
the
development
team
for
Alameda
West
Midway,
understands
the
challenges
and
importance
of
building
a
mixed-use,
mixed-income
community
while
replacing
crippling
infrastructure
with
new
water,
sewer,
electrical
and
telecommunications
systems
that
will
serve
Alameda
Point
and
more
specifically
the
West
Midway
project.
In
collaboration
with
RESHAP,
the
West
Midway
project
is
set
up
to
provide
approximately
789
new
residential
units
of
which
309
will
be
critical
affordable
housing
units.
Our
West
Midway
project
will
rely
on
the
infrastructure
that
the
Site
A
development
team
will
need
to
timely
provide.
We
are
proud
to
be
part
of
a
collective
team
working
to
ensure
the
former
Naval
Base
achieves
its
potential
as
an
urban,
waterfront,
mixed-use
community
to
be
enjoyed
by
all
Alamedans.
This
transformation
will
be
possible
with
the
development
of
communities
like
Site
A,
West
Midway,
and
Site
B.
Site
A
infrastructure
is
the
catalyst
to
the
other
master-developments,
including
our
proposed
plans
for
West
Midway.
If
Site
A’s
amendment
is
denied,
realizing
the
vision
for
The
Base
could
be
delayed
for
a
decade,
if
not
more.
Moving
forward
the
Site
A
amended
development
plan
will
secure
the
future
of
Alameda
Point.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
Sincerely,
