Facilities
Plan
The Oakland
Safety Facilities
Plan Resolution
Authorizing the City
Administrator to negotiate
improvements to existing
safety facilities and acquire
and develop new ones. The
City can significantly
improve public services and
facilities and the well-being
of our community.
•This resolution builds upon
prior legislation and plans,
and staff and consultant
recommendations, to
pursue efficient methods
for public facilities.
•By relocating uses to better
locations, it also allows for
important revitalization of
the existing site at
Broadway and 6
th St,
connecting downtown,
waterfront, Chinatown, old
Oakland and more.

Site To
Utilize For
New Uses
Existing
Oakland PAB
(6
th and
Broadway)
Interim site
Arena Center (a/k/a Zhone technology site) seeks
to use in the interim during construction.
The West Oakland BART
Project/Mandela Site
The West
Oakland/Mandela
Project will include
modern public
facilities and construct
mixed-use buildings
for commercial and
residential purposes at
a major transit hub in
the heart of the region.
A new state-of-the-
art crime lab and
communications
dispatch center near
the West Oakland
BART station as a
new site to develop.
By investing in new crime-solving technology & space,
Oakland can better analyze evidence and solve crimes, and improve conditions for our workforce and the public.
PAB
The PAB is in poor
condition for its current
functions. It is an ideal
location for mixed-use,
transit-oriented
development that could
complement and connect the
Broadway corridor,
waterfront, Old Oakland,
Chinatown, and beyond and
better serve community
needs.
PAB
PAB
The legislation cited the
necessity of developing
and revitalizing the PAB
site. As noted in the
legislation, the area is in
the perfect position to
“activate downtown
Oakland.”
The Coliseum
Area
Has been approved for
mixed-use development,
and can also house new
multi-agency training
facilities, including a
driver training course,
education and meeting
facilities, records, CORE
academy, public permits
and information, and
related public functions.
Effective Funding Options,
including Public-Private
Partnerships
As recommended by a recent
administration and consultant report,
“A lease-back financing structure under
which a facility could be built and
financed by a private party to the City’s
specifications, with the financing
secured by the City’s long-term lease of
that facility. This would allow the City
to avoid taking on the large up-front
debt required by traditional strategies”
Allowing multiple options to fund
and deliver projects.
Investing in the revitalization of Oakland’s public facilities will improve municipal services for the public. Investing in crime lab improvements, 911 dispatch, multi-departmental crisis safety training, fire prevention, driver safety training, accident prevention, and disaster preparedness will also allow us to improve conditions for the public and the workforce, better use public resources, reduce vulnerability to disasters, and save time, money, and resources for the City and the public.
