S1. Amendment to Councilmember Spring's recommendation on Item 59, Development of Oxford Street
From: Councilmember Maio
Recommendation: That the City-owned Oxford Parking Lot be designated, in the event that it gets developed as an Opportunity Site for very-low-income residential units at least half of which have to be affordable to people at 50% and below the median income. as much low-income housing and multipurpose space as possible. In particular, we encourage the creation of co-op and co-housing units and plans designed to create a mixture of families, students, and seniors that reflects the diversity of Berkeley's population. This recommendation should not conflict or interfere with the need to replace the existing amount of public parking as well as additional parking appropriate for new development at the site. Due to the importance of this parking being available to short term parkers in the downtown area, the City would retain control of the parking. This plan also wants to encourage the This recommendation also encourages construction of space for multipurpose public cultural elements (e.g. theater companies or art galleries), since any project at the site should contain substantial pedestrian-friendly commercial space covering as much as physically feasible of the Oxford, Allston, and Kittredge frontage, or second-story space where more practicable. Any development of the site will undergo a thorough planning process involving all the stakeholders. This issue will be referred to the Council Sub-committee on Central Berkeley.
