17.101B.010 - Title, purpose, and applicability.
A.
The provisions of this Chapter shall be known as the D-OTN Oak-to-Ninth District Zone Regulations.
B.
The "Zoning Regulations and Standards for Development and Use of Property within the Oak to Ninth Mixed Use Development" which are attached to Ordinance 12758 C.M.S, and as amended in Section 17.101B.020, shall apply to the area designated in Ordinance 12759 C.M.S.
C.
This Chapter establishes land use regulations and development standards for the Oak-To-Ninth Mixed Use Development, now known as Brooklyn Basin. The approximately 63.82-acre site is bounded by Embarcadero Road, the Oakland Estuary, Fallon Street, and 10 th Avenue, and includes the Clinton Basin Marina and the Fifth Avenue Marina, but does not include Fifth Avenue Point.
D.
The 63.82-acre Oak to Ninth District (Brooklyn Basin) area is governed by the following set of regulations: the regulations set forth in this Chapter; Chapter 17.11 - OS Open Space zoning regulations for Open Space Region-Serving Park (OS-RSP); the Preliminary Development Plan dated February 2006 and approved on June 20, 2006, amended on November 5, 2014 and amended on May 16, 2023 Oak to Ninth Design Guidelines amended on November 5, 2014; Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 7621 dated March 8, 2006 and approved on June 20, 2006; Conditions of Approval approved on June 20, 2006, amended on May 17, 2017 and on May 16, 2023; the Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program approved on June 20, 2006, and the Development Agreement approved on June 20, 2006, amended on May 16, 2023.
The specific purposes of the D-OTN Oak To Ninth District Zone are to:
A.
Encourage the creation of a mixed-use district that integrates a combination of residential, commercial, public open space and civic uses.
B.
Establish development standards that allow residential, commercial, public open space and civic activities to compatibly co-exist.
C.
Provide a balance of private development and public open space with convenient access to public open space and the waterfront.
D.
Improve access to the waterfront and recreational opportunities along the waterfront including boat launches and marinas.
E.
Encourage quality and variety in building and landscape design as well as compatibility in use and form.
F.
Encourage development that is respectful of the environmental qualities that the site has to offer.
The 63.82-acre Oak to Ninth District (Brooklyn Basin Project) area is divided into two major areas: private residential and commercial development (approximately 34 acres), and public parks, open space, and civic uses (approximately 30 acres), and is assigned two separate zoning districts.
Residential and Commercial Uses
Oak to Ninth District. The D-OTN Zone is intended to provide mid-rise and high-rise housing opportunities together with ground floor retail and commercial uses. Future development will be set back from the waterfront and will stress compatibility between residential and nonresidential uses and reflect a variety of housing and business types.
Public Parks, Open Space, and Civic Uses
Open Space - Region Serving Park. The OS-RSP Zone is the area that is designated for public parks, open space, and civic uses. New parks include Shoreline Park, including the remaining portion of the 9 th Avenue Terminal, South Park, Channel Park, and Estuary Park. Clinton Basin and the Fifth Avenue Marina are also included in this zoning district. Uses proposed in this zone are regulated by the City of Oakland as Trustee in consultation with the State Lands Commission which retains jurisdiction over Public Trust lands.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter 17.11, Open Space Zoning Regulations, open space activities and facilities in the Oak to Ninth District (Brooklyn Basin) area that would otherwise require a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Planning Code Sections 17.11.060 and 17.11.090 instead shall be approved as part of the Preliminary Development Plan or Final Development Plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Municipal Code Chapter 6.04.080, dogs shall be allowed leashed in all public parks and open space areas within the Oak-To-Ninth District (Brooklyn Basin) area boundaries. Dogs shall be allowed unleashed in the dog park designated in the Final Development Plan.
(Ord. No. 13826, § 2(Exh. A), 12-17-2024)
17.101B.020 - Development Plans and Design Review.
All development projects within the D-OTN Oak To Ninth District Zone will be processed using a Planned Unit Development permitting process. The approved Preliminary Development Plan dated June 20, 2006, as amended on May 16, 2023, provides the comprehensive development framework for the entire 63.82- acre site. The entire development will be constructed in five phases. Each phase requires submittal and approval of a Final Development Plan. Design Review for each Final Development Plan shall follow the schedule outlined in Chapter 17.136, Design Review Procedure. Each building or structure not submitted with the application for a Final Development Plan will require separate design review approval. Both the Preliminary and Final Development Plans shall be prepared by a professional design team consisting of a registered civil engineer, licensed architect, planner or licensed building designer, and any other qualified professionals that the City may require.
Other applications required for development and use of property within the D-OTN Oak To Ninth District Zone (e.g., subdivision map) shall submitted concurrently with the Preliminary Development Plan or the Final Development Plan.
(Ord. No. 13826, § 2(Exh. A), 12-17-2024)
17.101B.030 - Preliminary Development Plan.
