5 All 2 Student Districts Creates two student districts (4 and 7). Expands District 4 to eastern city
limits and splits downtown among
two reconfigured districts (4 and 5).

Adds Thousand Oaks neighborhood
to reconfigured District 6. Adds
Northbrae to reconfigure District 1.

Splits North Berkeley, Berkeley Hills,
Central Berkeley, South Berkeley,
LeConte, Elmwood, and Panoramic
Hill neighborhoods.

Blue and Maroon maps reflect
two student focused districts.

12 12_2021-11-04 Phil Allen All All 8 districts are renumbered and have east-west orientation. See submitted PDF for full narrative.

Proposed district cofiguration
reflects generally much longer
northern and southern boundaries
and shorter western and eastern
boundaries relative to current
boundaries.

Submission was evaluated.

Proposed map district
boundaries split many
neighborhoods and did not
reflect community of interest

changes were not included in

All Here's my attempt to redraw our 8 districts. My maximum population = 16000 and my minimum is 15,200.

My intent was to minimize the length of the boundary of each district, so as to not gerrymander.

Does not appear to focus on COI
type criteria; rather boundaries are
chosen for maximal compactness,
utilizing major arteries when
possible.

Submission was evaluated; no
further action was taken.

14 14_2021-11-06 Thomas Lord All (minor
changes)
This map tries not to deviate radically from existing districts while, at the same time, trying to increase the diversity of
interests each council member must represent. For example, this map gives both the representatives from District 1 and District 4 a stake in Ohlone Park. This map gives District 6 a larger stake in the interests of students. I have not adhered strictly to the traditional use of Sacramento St. as a district boundary for similar reasons.

Perfect racial balance equality is geographically impossible in any set of compact districts at this time but I have tried to improve the balance. I am not sure I m satisfied with the boundaries between district 1 and 2 which I changed only minimally - but I left them as is for lack of deep familiarity with the area.

The population size balances are all very close to ideal.

Per the narrative, this map seeks to
maximize within-district diversity of
constituents for each district. This is
contrary to various requests to
maintain COIs.

Submission was evaluated; no
further action was taken.

15 15_2021-11-06 Lissa Miner All (minor
changes to

Equitable representation by population. Districts and council members will need to collaborate as each district has
multiple types of housing and neighborhoods and geography, except perhaps for District 7 that has dense student population.

Changes boundary between
Districts 4 and 3 from east/west to
north south, creating less
contiguous districts

All This map is being submitted by Berkeley Neighborhoods Council, using input from many neighborhood groups across the city.

Considerations: 1.Keep neighborhoods together as much as possible. 2. Combine the Northside and Southside student housing units to create a more unified student district. 3. Keep the blocks surrounding the North Berkeley BART station in one district as they share interests in upcoming development. 4. Keep the Shattuck business district together from Downtown to at least Cedar St. 5. Dwight Way serves as the natural border for District 3, and should continue to do so, as the neighbors to the south of Dwight continue to fight for equity in terms of resources. 6. The LeConte Neighborhood has been split for decades. We put them back together in District 3. 7. The McGee-Spaulding Tract has historical significance and should be kept together. Its borders are Dwight Way to University, Sacramento to MLK. 8. Spruce Santa Barbara are natural borders for District 56. Neighborhoods there are less cohesive . 9. Include Panoramic Hill in District 8 to keep the high fire zones together

All This map uses current districts as a base to try to straighten out district borders while keeping groups with similar homes, incomes, and travel modes together.
- D1: grows into Northbrae and Live Oak in D5 where smaller single- family homes mix w smaller apts and gives Central Berkeley to D4. - D2 gains the rest of Poets Corner from D4 and cedes the edge of the Lorin back to D3, more cohesively uniting SW Berkeley.

ORANGE MAP
Consistency Map
with Changes to Address Universal Criteria
West Berkeley (One District)
The Orange Map responds to the direction of the Independent Redistricting Commission to create a draft map that has a high level of continuity with the existing council district boundaries and includes changes as needed to meet the universal criteria. This map maintains general consistency for Districts 3 – 8, with significant changes to Districts 1 and 2 in West Berkeley. The universal criteria are : 1) Maximum of 10% population deviation; 2) Contiguou s districts; 3) Maintain Communities of Interest and Neighborhoods; 4) Use major arterial streets as boundaries where possible; 5) Correct the features of the 2010 map that accounted for prior Councilmember residences; and 6) Include at least one compact s tudent district in every map.

The Orang
e Map follows the Commission direction by making the following noteworthy modifications:
● Create a s
ingle West Berkeley District west of San Pablo Avenue and including the neighborhood around San Pablo Park;
● Unify the Westbrae Neighborhood in District 1;
● Move the Poets Corner Neighborhood to District 1;
● Unify the LeConte Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Lorin Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Halcyon Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Bateman Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Willard Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify Lower Spruce/Arch Street with the Northside Neighborhood in District 6;
● Move the census block that contains the International House from District 8 to the existing student district (District 7);
● Correct map features for prior Councilmember residences in District 4 and District 7;
● Maximize the use of the major arterials, San Pablo Avenue, Telegraph Avenue, Sacramento Street, Spruce Street, Oxford Street, and Cedar Street, as district boundaries;
● Commission direction on topography/wildfire risk/transit access is reflected in higher elevation neighborhoods contained in two council districts (6, 8).

BLUE MAP
Two Student Districts (East-West)
West Berkeley (One District)
The Blue Map responds to the direction of the Independent Redistricting Commission to create draft maps that show variations on two student -focused districts, and the direction to show a map that has a north to south orientation for a single West Berkeley District. This map also meets the six universal map criteria to varying degrees. The universal criteria are: 1) Maximum of 10% population deviation; 2) Contiguous districts; 3) Maintain Communities of Interest and Neighborhoods; 4) Use major arterial streets as boundaries where possible; 5) Correct the features of the 2010 map that accounted for prior Councilmember residences; and 6) Include at least one compact student district in every map.

The Bl
ue Map follows the Commission direction by making the following noteworthy modifications:
● Create two “student-focused” districts with an east-west orientation (4,7); ● Create a single West Berkeley District west of San Pablo Avenue and including the neighborhood surrounding San Pablo Park (2);
● Unify the Westbrae Neighborhood in District 1;
● Move the Poet’s Corner Neighborhood to District 1;
● Unify the Lorin Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Halcyon Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Bateman Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify LeConte Neighborhood in District 8;
● Move the District 5 and District 6 border from Spruce Street to Arlington Avenue; ● Move the Panoramic Hill Neighborhood and the Clark Kerr Campus into the eastern student district (District 7);
● Move the portion of the Northside Neighborhood south of LeConte Avenue into the western student district (District 4);
● Move a portion of Central Berkeley and Downtown Neighborhoods into District 3; ● The above changes necessarily create a lower degree of neighborhood cohesion for the following neighborhoods: North Berkeley, Central Berkeley, Downtown, Southside, North Shattuck;
● Correct map features for prior Councilmember residences in District 4 and District 7;
● Use of the major arterials, San Pablo Avenue, Sacramento Street, Spruce Street, Arlington Avenue, Adeline Avenue, and Telegraph Avenue, as council district boundaries;
● Commission direction on topography/wildfire risk/transit access is reflected in higher elevation neighborhoods contained in three council districts (6, 7, 8).

MAROON MAP
Two Student Districts (North-South)
West Berkeley (Two Districts)
The Mar
oon Map responds to the direction of the Independent Redistricting Commission to create draft maps that show variations on two student-focused districts. This map shows West Berkeley in its current configuration of two districts. This map also meets the six universal map criteria to varying degrees. The uni versal criteria are: 1) Maximum of 10% population deviation; 2) Contiguous districts; 3) Maintain Communities of Interest and Neighborhoods; 4) Use major arterial streets as boundaries where possible; 5) Correct the features of the 2010 map that accounted for prior Councilmember residences; and 6) Include at least one compact student district in every map.

The Mar
oon Map follows the Commission direction by making the following noteworthy modifications:
● Create two “student-focused” districts with a north-south orientation (4, 7); ● Use the current configuration for two West Berkeley districts; ● Unify the Westbrae Neighborhood in District 1;
● Unify the Poet’s Corner Neighborhood in District 2;
● Unify the Lorin Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Halcyon Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Bateman Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Willard Neighborhood in District 8;
● Move the border between District 5 and District 6 from Spruce Street to Arlington Avenue;
● Move the Panoramic Hill Neighborhood and the Clark Kerr Campus from District 8 to the south student district (District 7);
● Move the portion of the Northside Neighborhood south of LeConte Avenue into the north student district (District 4);
● The above changes necessarily create a lower degree of Neighborhood cohesion for the following neighborhoods: LeConte, Northside, North Shattuck; ● As compared to the Blue Map, this configuration of the student-focused districts results in a comparatively lower density of student residents in District 4 with the inclusion of the Central Berkeley Neighborhood;
● Correct map features for prior Councilmember residences in District 4 and District 7; ● Use of the major arterials, University Avenue, Sacramento Street, Spruce Street, Arlington Avenue, Adeline Avenue, Dwight Way, and Bancroft Way, as district boundaries;
● Commission direction on topography/wildfire risk/transit access is reflected in higher elevation neighborhoods contained in four council districts (4, 6, 7, 8).

VIOLET MAP
Two Student/Renter Focused Districts with Two West Berkeley Districts The Violet Map responds to the direction of the Independent Redistricting Commission to create a draft map that uses the Amber Map as the base map and moves the portion of the Northside N eighborhood south of Le Conte Avenue into the student -focused district, modifies the boundary between District 3 and District 8 to prevent division of the community near Ashby BART, adjusts District 4 in consideration of students and renters, and further creates two student/renter -focused districts in a side- by-side orientation.

The Violet Map adheres to the universal criteria of : 1) Maximum of 10% population deviation; 2) C ontiguous districts; 3) Maintain Communities of Interest and Neighborhoods; 4) Use major arterial streets as boundaries where possible; 5) Correct the features of the 2010 map that accounted for prior Councilmember residences; and 6) Include at least one compact student district in every map.

The Violet Map follows the Commission direction by making the following noteworthy modifications:
● Unify the Westbrae Neighborhood in District 1;
● Unify the Poets Corner Neighborhood in District 2;
● Unify the LeConte Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Lorin Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Bateman Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Willard Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify Lower Spruce/Arch Street with the Northside Neighborhood in District 6; ● Move the border between District 3 and District 8 east from Adeline Street to Shattuck Avenue to include the Ed Roberts Campus, the Ashby BART east parking lot, and St. Paul AME Church into District 3.
● Move the District 5 and District 6 border from Spruce Street to Arlington Avenue north of the Marin Circle;
● Move the portion of Northside Neighborhood south of Ridge Road into District 7; ● Move the census blocks that contain the International House, Lawrence Berkeley Lab, and Foothill Dormitory to the existing student district (District 7); ● Correct map features for prior Councilmember residences in Dist. 4 and Dist. 7; ● Move the border between District 5 and District 4 south to Hearst Avenue; ● Move the border between District 4 and District 7 east to Dana Street; ● Move the border between District 4 and District 3 south to Parker Street; ● Maximize the use of the major arterials, University Avenue, Telegraph Avenue, Sacramento Street, Spruce Street, Oxford Street, Hearst Avenue, Arlington Avenue, and Cedar Street, as council district boundaries; ● Commission direction on topography/wildfire risk/transit access is reflected in higher elevation neighborhoods contained in three council districts (6, 7, 8).

● Unify the Poets Corner Neighborhood in District 2;
● Unify the LeConte Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Lorin Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Halcyon Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Bateman Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Willard Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify Lower Spruce/Arch Street with the Northside Neighborhood in District 6;

Draft Map: Blue
Published January 20, 2022 by the Berkeley Independent Redistricting Commission.

Two Student Districts (East-West). West Berkeley (One District).

Narrative
The Blue Map responds to the direction of the Independent Redistricting Commission to create draft maps that show variations on two student-focused districts, and the direction to show a map that has a north to south orientation for a single West Berkeley District.

The universal criteria are: 1) Maximum of 10% population deviation; 2) Contiguous districts; 3) Maintain Communities of Interest and Neighborhoods; 4) Use major arterial streets as boundaries where possible; 5) Correct the features of the 2010 map that accounted for prior Councilmember residences; and 6) Include at least one compact student district in every map.

The Blue Map follows the Commission direction by making the following noteworthy modifications:
● Create two “student-focused” districts with an east-west orientation (4,7); ● Create a single West Berkeley District west of San Pablo Avenue and including the neighborhood surrounding San Pablo Park (2);
● Unify the Westbrae Neighborhood in District 1;
● Move the Poet’s Corner Neighborhood to District 1;
● Unify the Lorin Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Halcyon Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Bateman Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify LeConte Neighborhood in District 8;
● Move the District 5 and District 6 border from Spruce Street to Arlington Avenue; ● M ove the Panoramic Hill Neighborhood and the Clark Kerr Campus into the eastern student district (District 7);
● Move the portion of the Northside Neighborhood south of LeConte Avenue into the western student district (District 4);
● Move a portion of Central Berkeley and Downtown Neighborhoods into District 3; ● The above changes necessarily create a lower degree of neighborhood cohesion for the following neighborhoods: North Berkeley, Central Berkeley, Downtown, Southside, North Shattuck;
● Correct map features for prior Councilmember residences in District 4 and District 7;
● Use of the major arterials, San Pablo Avenue, Sacramento Street, Spruce Street, Arlington Avenue, Adeline Avenue, and Telegraph Avenue, as council district boundaries;

Draft Map: Maroon
Published January 20, 2022 by the Berkeley Independent Redistricting Commission.

Two Student Districts (North-South). West Berkeley (Two Districts).

Narrative
The Maroon Map responds to the direction of the Independent Redistricting Commission to create draft maps that show variations on two student-focused districts.

This map shows West Berkeley in its current configuration of two districts. This map also meets the six universal map criteria to varying degrees. The universal criteria are:
1) Maximum of 10% population deviation; 2) Contiguous districts; 3) Maintain Communities of Interest and Neighborhoods; 4) Use major arterial streets as boundaries where possible; 5) Correct the features of the 2010 map that accounted for prior Councilmember residences; and 6) Include at least one compact student district in every map.

The Maroon Map follows the Commission direction by making the following noteworthy modifications:
● Create two “student-focused” districts with a north-south orientation (4, 7); ● Use the current configuration for two West Berkeley districts; ● Unify the Westbrae Neighborhood in District 1;
● Unify the Poet’s Corner Neighborhood in District 2;
● Unify the Lorin Neighborhood in District 3;
● Unify the Halcyon Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Bateman Neighborhood in District 8;
● Unify the Willard Neighborhood in District 8;
● Move the border between District 5 and District 6 from Spruce Street to Arlington Avenue;
● Move the Panoramic Hill Neighborhood and the Clark Kerr Campus from District 8 to the south student district (District 7);
● Move the portion of the Northside Neighborhood south of LeConte Avenue into the north student district (District 4);
● The above changes necessarily create a lower degree of Neighborhood cohesion for the following neighborhoods: LeConte, Northside, North Shattuck; ● As compared to the Blue Map, this configuration of the student-focused districts results in a comparatively lower density of student residents in District 4 with the inclusion of the Central Berkeley Neighborhood;
● Correct map features for prior Councilmember residences in District 4 and District 7;
● Use of the major arterials, University Avenue, Sacramento Street, Spruce Street, Arlington Avenue, Adeline Avenue, Dwight Way, and Bancroft Way, as district boundaries;

4 INTRODUCTION

Mapping Berkeley Communities: Redistricting by the People.

Like many cities throughout the Bay Area and California, Berkeley utilizes a district-based system of electing councilmembers and has done so since 1986. The city is divided into eight geographic areas called “districts.” One councilmember is elected from each district by the voters living in that district. Other elected officers (such as Mayor and Auditor) are elected at- large, meaning they can live anywhere in Berkeley and are elected by all of Berkeley’s voters.

On November 8, 2016, Berkeley voters approved Measure W1, amending the City’s Charter to transfer responsibility for drawing electoral boundaries from the City Council to an Independent Redistricting Commission (the “Commission”). The measure was intended to establish a redistricting process that is open to the public, meets the requirements of law, and is conducted with integrity, fairness, and without personal or political considerations.

The Commission is tasked with adjusting the boundaries of City Council districts every ten years following the decennial federal census. Composed of thirteen members with broad community representation, the Commission will act as an independent body to engage the public and adopt an updated map of City Council district boundaries. The community will provide verbal and written input on the redistricting process, including submitting their own maps. The Charter also provides impasse procedures if a final map cannot be agreed upon.

The City Clerk Department will support the Commission throughout the redistricting process, including public outreach, coordinating the application process, and facilitating public meetings.

The Commission will also receive technical support from an independent demographer, the City Attorney’s Office, and the Department of Information Technology. This document provides a high-level overview of the City’s Independent Redistricting Commission Plan. If you have questions about the redistricting process or this document, you may call the City Clerk Department at (510) 981-6900 or email [email protected] .

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain outreach activities may be limited. City staff will focus on methods to reach the widest possible audience given the mass gathering and physical distancing requirements. Electronic methods will be employed to maximize the public’s ability to participate in the process if in-person meetings are not feasible.

7 DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

City Clerk Department
The Independent Redistricting Commission plan is an interdepartmental effort coordinated by the City Clerk Department. Preliminary responsibilities include establishing timelines, procedures, and the redistricting plan; coordinating a Request for Proposal for demographer services; and coordinating with the Department of Information Technology to procure electronic districting software for use by the Commission and public.

Throughout the redistricting process, the City Clerk Department will serve as the Secretary to the Commission and be responsible for conducting outreach, evaluating applications, selecting the initial eight commissioners, facilitating public meetings, coordinating all interdepartmental staff efforts, and supporting the Commission.

When a final district map is approved by the Commission and the City Council, the City Clerk Department will work with the Alameda County Registrar of Voters to implement the map. If an impasse is reached, the City Clerk Department will coordinate the effort through the election process and, if necessary, the identification of a special master to develop the redistricting plan.

City Attorney’s Office
The City Attorney’s Office serves as a legal resource to the Independent Redistricting Commission during training on conflict of interest, open meeting, and ethics laws, will attend Commission meetings to answer legal questions, and provide ongoing legal analysis as required.

Department of Information Technology
The Department of Information Technology will provide technical support for installation of the electronic districting software system and ongoing support throughout the districting process as needed. The GIS Division will provide technical support with mapping and demographics, including initial review of the census data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.

City Manager’s Office
The City Manager’s Office has overall responsibility for the City Clerk Department, including coordinating information presented to the City Council. The City’s Public Information Officer will be a key coordinator for outreach including press releases and website information during the application period and the Commission’s community outreach process.

8 APPLICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS

What are the requirements to serve?
Any Berkeley resident who is 18 years of age or older at the time they submit their application, may apply for selection to the Independent Redistricting Commission.

Who can serve?
Current members of City boards and commissions that are appointed by the Mayor or Councilmembers can serve provided that they resign from their board or commission upon selection to the Independent Redistricting Commission (or as an alternate) and do not serve on any City commission during their tenure on the Independent Redistricting Commission.

Persons who made a disclosable contribution to a candidate for Mayor or Councilmember may serve on the Commission if they disclose all such contributions made within the previous four years prior to the date of application.

Who is ineligible?
• City of Berkeley employees
• Qualified candidates for Berkeley Mayor or Councilmember (within 2 years of application)
• Current and former holders of Berkeley elective office (within 2 years of application) • Paid staff or unpaid interns to the Mayor or Councilmembers (within 2 years of application)
• Family members of the Mayor or Councilmember or their staff • Officers, paid staff, or paid consultants for campaign committees for Berkeley Mayor or Councilmember (within 2 years)
• C ontractors or subcontractors of the City of Berkeley

What else should I know before I apply?
For two years after the termination of service on the Independent Redistricting Commission, you may not be a paid staff member for the Mayor or a Councilmember or serve on a City board or commission. Additionally, no Commission member may be a candidate for Mayor or City Council in the next election in which that office is on the ballot.

What happens after I apply?
The application deadline is October 9, 2020. The City Clerk will review all applications for eligibility. In January 2021, the City Clerk will randomly select eight Commissioners and eight alternates (one from each Council district). Within 10 days of selecting the initial commissioners, the Commission will convene to select five additional at-large members and alternates. The full Independent Redistricting Commission then begins meeting regularly.

9 MAP REQUIREMENTS

Maps are subject to the criteria outlined in Charter Article V, Section 9.5. The final map will be drawn so that the districts are as equal in population as practicable, compliant with state and federal laws, and geographically contiguous.

The Commission will take into consideration topography, geography, cohesiveness, contiguity, and integrity and compactness of the districts, as well as existing communities of interest as defined below. The Commission will also utilize easily understood district boundaries such as major traffic arteries and geographic boundaries (to the extent they are consistent with communities of interest). The geographic integrity of a neighborhood or community of interest will be respected to the extent possible.

As used here, “communities of interest” means contiguous populations that share common social and economic interests. These populations should be included within a single district for purposes of effective and fair representation.

Examples of “common social and economic interests” are areas where people:

• Share similar living standards
• U se the same transportation facilities
• H ave similar work opportunities
• H ave access to the same media of communication relevant to the election process • Live in neighborhoods
• Are students/have organized student housing
• Have shared ages
• Have shared racial demographics

Communities of interest shall not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates. Districts shall not be drawn for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent, political candidate, or political party; i.e., the Commission may not consider the residence of current Councilmembers and a current Councilmember may be “drawn out” of their current district.

The Commission may consider existing district boundaries as a basis for developing new district boundaries.

10 FINAL DISTRICT MAP

Map Affirmed by Commission
The final map must be adopted by the Commission with at least seven affirmative votes (of the thirteen voting members) and submitted to the City Council. The City Council will adopt a redistricting ordinance implementing the final map without change. The boundaries of the districts will be effective until the adoption of new district boundaries following the next decennial federal census.

Final Map – 2010 Census Redistricting Process

Impasse Proceedings
If the Commission is unable to reach seven affirmative votes (of the thirteen voting members) for the final map, the map with the most votes will be placed on the ballot for the voters to consider. If the final map is rejected by the voters, the Commission will attempt to adopt a new redistricting plan within thirty days with at least seven affirmative votes. If the Commission is unsuccessful, the City Clerk will recommend a list of at least three special masters to develop a redistricting plan. The Commission will select a special master to develop the redistricting plan, and the City Council will adopt the redistricting plan determined by the special master.
