Article IV — Development and Design Standards

17.101K.080 - Determination of Principal and Secondary Streets.

A.

This section describes how to determine the principal street abutting a lot.

B.

The number of principal and secondary streets shall be determined in the following manner:

For lots with one abutting street, the abutting street is the principal street;

For lots with two frontages, one (1) abutting street shall be the principal street and the other the secondary street;

For lots with three (3) or four (4) frontages, two (2) streets shall be principal streets and the remaining shall be secondary street(s);

For lots with five (5) or more frontages, three (3) streets shall be principal streets and the remaining shall be secondary street(s).

C.

The street(s) abutting a site with the highest priority as described in Subsection (D) shall be designated as the principal street(s). When streets have the same priority, the Planning Director or their designee shall determine the principal street(s). In this case, streets intended to have a high volume of pedestrian traffic and/or ground-floor commercial activity and streets with the most intact pattern of pedestrian entrances shall be identified as the principal street(s).

D.

In order of priority, the following shall be principal streets when they abut a development site:

Broadway, Telegraph Avenue, and San Pablo Avenue;

Streets in the D-DT-P Zone;

Thomas Berkley Way, 20 th Street, and Oak Street;

Streets in the Arts and Cultural Combining Zone;

Streets in the Green Loop Combining Zone;

Streets in the D-DT-C Zone; and

All other streets.

Additional Regulations for Table 17.101K.04:

* If a D-DT Base Zone also has the Employment Priority Combining Zone, the Employment Priority regulations supersede the Base Zone.

See Sections 17.106.010 and 17.106.020 for exceptions to lot area, lot width mean and street frontage regulations.

No building shall be constructed within sixty (60) feet of the top of the bank of the Lake Merritt Channel. See Section 17.101K for other requirements for development adjacent to the Channel.

There is no front setback required, except as described in note 2; and there is a six (6) foot front setback required for new construction when the ground floor contains residential units adjacent to the principal street.

In the D-DT-PM and D-DT-AG Zones, any upper-story addition shall be stepped back at least fifteen (15) feet from any street fronting facade.

See Section 17.108.130 for allowed projections into setbacks and Section 17.108.080 for the required interior side and rear setbacks on a lot containing two (2) or more living units and opposite a legally- required living room window.

The following notes apply to the maximum yard requirements:

a.

In the D-DT-RX, D-DT-CX, and D-DT-CPW Zones, the maximum front and street side setback for the first story is five (5) feet for Commercial Facilities and ten (10) feet for Residential Facilities.

b.

The requirements only apply to the construction of new principal buildings and to no more than two property lines. One of these property lines shall abut the principal street (see Section 17.101K.080 for how to identify the principal street).

c.

The requirements do not apply to new construction of facilities containing Civic Activities, Agricultural Activities, or Automobile and Other Light Vehicle Gas Station and Servicing Commercial Activities as principal activities.

d.

These maximum setbacks apply to seventy-five percent (75%) of the principal street facade and fifty percent (50%) on secondary streets, if any (see Section 17.101K.080 for how to identify the principal and secondary streets). All percentages, however, may be reduced to fifty percent (50%) upon the granting of Regular Design Review (see Chapter 17.136 for the Design Review procedure). In addition to the criteria contained in Section 17.136.050, the proposal must also meet the following criterion:

i.

Any additional yard area abutting the principal street is designed to accommodate publicly accessible plazas, sidewalk cafes, or restaurants, or to transition to the front setback of a neighboring Designated Historic Property or Potentially Designated Historic Property (see Section 17.101K.080 for how to identify the principal street).

The rear setback in the D-DT-JLI zone is zero (0) feet for properties that do not abut parcels with Residential Facilities and ten (10) feet for properties that abut parcels with Residential Facilities.

This percentage of transparency is only required for principal buildings that include ground floor Nonresidential Facilities, and only applies to the principal street facade. On all secondary street facades, the requirement is one-half (½) the standard for the principal street façade (see Section 17.101K.080 for how to identify the principal and secondary streets). The area of required transparency is between two (2) feet and nine (9) feet in height of the ground floor and must be comprised of clear, non-reflective windows that allow views out of indoor commercial space or lobbies. Glass block does not quality as a transparent window. Exceptions to this regulation may be allowed by the Director of the Planning Bureau, or his/her designee, for unique facilities such as convention centers, gymnasiums, parks, gas stations, theaters and other similar facilities.

For ground floor Health Care and Special Health Care Civic Activities and Medical Services Commercial Activities this level of transparency can be reduced using fogged or otherwise opaque windows. However, windows adjacent to reception, lobby, and waiting areas shall remain transparent.

This height is required for new principal buildings that include ground floor Nonresidential Facilities and is measured from the sidewalk grade to the second story floor.

Notes:

See Chapter 17.107 for affordable and senior housing density incentives and Section 17.101K.120 for the transfer of development rights from other parcels in the Downtown District (D-DT) Zones.

For mixed use projects in the D-DT Zones, the allowable intensity of development shall be measured according to both the maximum nonresidential Floor Area Ratio (FAR) allowed by the zone and the maximum residential density allowed by the zone. The total lot area shall be used as a basis for computing both the maximum nonresidential FAR and the maximum residential density.

See Section 17.108.030 for allowed projections above height limits and Section 17.108.020 for increased height limits for civic buildings.

In the D-DT-CPW Zone, no new additions, accessory structures, or principal buildings shall be constructed unless they are either: 1) part of a project that includes the construction of a principal building that is at least one hundred (100) feet in height, or 2) on a site that contains an existing principal building that is at least one hundred (100) feet in height to the floor of the top story. This minimum height excludes the height of the allowed projections into the height limit contained in Section 17.108.030, Sign Facilities, and Telecommunications Facilities. Also, see Section 17.101K.040, which requires the granting of a Planned Unit Development Permit for all new construction and additions.

This minimum height excludes the height of the allowed projections into the height limit contained in Section 17.108.030, Sign Facilities, and Telecommunications Facilities.

The minimum height limit of properties within the Employment Priority Combining Zone is one hundred seventy-five (175) feet.

Buildings constructed to accommodate Essential Service, Utility and Vehicular, or Extensive Impact Civic Activities as principal activities are exempted from the height minimum regulation. The allowed projections into the height limits contained in Section 17.108.030 are not counted towards the height minimum.

The minimum height of the base can be reduced to allow transition to a lower-scale neighboring Potentially Designated Historic Property (PDHP) or Designated Historic Property.

These required setbacks are in Table 17.101K.04 and include Note 3 of that table. Also, see Section

Sections 17.101K.130(A)(1)(b) and 17.101K.130(A)(1)(c) for more tower and base requirements.

The average floor plate area of the stories above the base cannot exceed this percentage of lot area, with the following two qualifications:

a.

The floor plate area of an individual story cannot be more than fifteen percent (15%) greater than the maximum average per story floor area above base.

b.

A story that is more than fifteen percent (15%) less than the maximum average floor plate area is not included in the average per story floor area above the base.

This regulation does not apply in the Employment Priority Combining Zone.

For the purpose of this regulation, a "nonresidential building" means a building with more than one-third (⅓) floor area devoted to Nonresidential Activities.

For the purpose of this regulation, a "residential building" means a building with at least two-thirds (⅔) floor area designated for Residential Activities.

The following additional regulations apply to the tower stepback:

a.

Unenclosed recreational, landscaping, and open space facilities are permitted within this stepback area.

b.

A lesser stepback is permitted if it precludes the construction of the maximum average per story lot coverage.

c.

For nonresidential towers, a stepback is only required on sites adjacent to a right-of-way that is less than eighty (80) feet.

(Ord. 13812, § 4(Exh. A), 7-30-2024)

17.101K.110 - Zoning Incentive Program (ZIP).

Zoning Incentives in Exchange for Community Benefits. Under the Zoning Incentive Program (ZIP), projects may exceed the base height and intensity standards in Section 17.101K.100 up to the standards described in Subsection A., provided they contribute the benefits described in Subsection B. Projects may only participate in the ZIP if they are in one of the ZIP areas designated in the Zoning Map.

A.

Maximum Height, Density, Tower, and Building Base regulations under the ZIP. Table 17.101K.06 shows the maximum permitted height and intensity in each ZIP Height and Intensity Area for projects participating in the ZIP. These ZIP Height and Intensity Areas are designated on the Zoning Map. ZIP Height and Intensity Area maximums may only be exceeded if the applicant utilizes the State Density Bonus Law or the City's Density Bonus regulations. If an applicant chooses to utilize both the ZIP and the State Density Bonus Law, the State Density Bonus is calculated from the density established through the ZIP.

Notes:

See Chapter 17.107 for additional affordable and senior housing density incentives and Section 17.101K.120 for the transfer of development rights from other parcels in the Downtown District (D-DT) Zones.

For mixed use projects the allowable intensity of development shall be measured according to both the maximum nonresidential Floor Area Ratio (FAR) allowed by the zone and the maximum residential density allowed by the zone. The total lot area shall be used as a basis for computing both the maximum nonresidential FAR and the maximum residential density.

See Section 17.108.030 for allowed projections above height limits and Section 17.108.020 for increased height limits for civic buildings.

In the D-DT-CPW Zone, no new additions, accessory structures, or principal buildings shall be constructed unless they are either: 1) part of a project that includes the construction of a principal building that is at least one hundred (100) feet in height, or 2) on a site that contains an existing principal building that is at least one hundred (100) feet in height. This minimum height excludes the height of the allowed projections into the height limit contained in Section 17.108.030, Sign Facilities, and Telecommunications Facilities. Also, see Section 17.101K.040, which requires the granting of a Planned Unit Development Permit for all new construction.

This minimum height excludes the height of the allowed projections into the height limit contained in Section 17.108.030, Sign Facilities, and Telecommunications Facilities.

The minimum height limit of properties within the Employment Priority Combining Zone is one hundred seventy-five (175) feet.

Buildings constructed to accommodate Essential Service, Utility and Vehicular, or Extensive Impact Civic Activities as principal activities are exempted from the height minimum regulation. The allowed projections into the height limits contained in Section 17.108.030 are not counted towards the height minimum.

The minimum height of the base can be reduced to allow transition to a lower scale neighboring Potentially Designated Historic Property (PDHP) or Designated Historic Property (DHP).

These required setbacks are in Table 17.101K.04 and include Note 3 of that table. Also, see Section

Sections 17.101K.130(A)(1)(b) and 17.101K.130(A)(1)(c) for more tower and base requirements.

The average floor area of the stories above the base cannot exceed this percentage of lot area, with the following two qualifications:

a.

The floor area of an individual story cannot be more than fifteen percent (15%) greater than the maximum average per story floor area above base.

b.

A story that is more than fifteen percent (15%) less than the maximum average floor area is not included in the average per story floor area above the base.

This regulation does not apply in the Employment Priority Combining Zone.

For the purpose of this regulation, a "residential building" means a building with at least two-thirds (⅔) floor area designated for Residential Activities.

For the purpose of this regulation, a "nonresidential building" means a building with more than one-third (⅓) floor area devoted to Nonresidential Activities.

The following additional regulations apply to the tower stepback:

a.

Unenclosed recreational, landscaping, and open space facilities are permitted within this stepback area.

b.

A lesser stepback is permitted if it precludes the construction of the maximum average per story lot coverage.

c.

For nonresidential towers, a stepback is only required on sites adjacent to a right-of-way that is less than eighty (80) feet.

B.

Community Benefit Contributions.

In order to qualify for the ZIP to exceed the normally required base maximum height and intensity requirements contained in Table 17.101K.05, applicants must provide the community benefits and comply with the requirements of this Subsection. An applicant may provide any combination of the benefits identified in this Subsection.

The amount of community benefits and/or fees required per incentive depends on in which ZIP Benefit Area the project is located and whether the project is receiving a residential incentive (increase in maximum

permitted dwelling units) or a commercial incentive (increase in maximum permitted nonresidential floor area). The Residential and Commercial ZIP Benefit Areas are designated on the Zoning Maps.

The increase in the maximum permitted dwelling units and/or nonresidential floor area depends on the amount of community benefits and/or ZIP fees provided, as shown in Tables 17.101K.07 and 17.101K.08. Regardless of the community benefit contribution, the number of dwelling units or amount of nonresidential floor area cannot exceed the maximums prescribed in Subsection A (Table 17.101K.06).

The applicant shall provide one or more of the community benefits described in Subsections a.i.—iv to participate in the ZIP. The additional development potential earned by providing these community benefits is in Tables 17.101K.07 and 17.101K.08.

a.

Types of Community Benefits

i.

Funding for Affordable Housing, Infrastructure Improvements, and Employment Training. Fees charged to a developer placed as allocated below in the following funds for the following purposes:

Fifty percent (50%) of the contribution goes into the Affordable Housing Trust Fund as described in OMC Chapter 15.72;

Twenty-five percent (25%) of the contribution goes into the Economic and Workforce Development Miscellaneous Fee Revenue Account to provide employment training and services, prioritizing residents harmed by racial income and unemployment disparities. Fifty percent (50%) of these funds are dedicated for construction training and apprenticeships programs.

Twenty-five percent (25%) of the contribution goes into the Economic and Workforce Development Miscellaneous Fee Revenue Account to provide the Downtown improvements. This funding shall be used to implement public streetscape, open space, and/or flood control improvements that are consistent with the Downtown Oakland Specific Plan.

ii.

Below-Market Commercial Space. On site, ground floor space provided at fifty (50) percent of market rental rate for qualified retail, commercial, arts, and non-profit tenants that meet the City's tenanting priorities for tenants that achieve the City's goals to reduce racial inequities. In the BAMBD Arts and Culture Combining

Zone (see Section 17.101K.010), such tenants should also meet the intent of the district. A development requires a minimum of five hundred (500) square feet of commercial space to qualify for this incentive.

iii.

Public Restrooms. On-site, ground floor, gender-neutral restroom facilities that are open to the public at least between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. each day of the week.

iv.

Streetscape, Open Space, and Flood Control Improvements. Public streetscape and/or open space improvements, provided by the developer, that are consistent with improvements called for in the Downtown Oakland Specific Plan. These improvements shall not include those generally required as part of a project approval in the D-DT Zone. The benefit may include pedestrian rightof-way and open space improvements such as plaza construction, landscaping, tree planting, and public art installation, plazas, street furniture, and other items that create an inviting public realm and, where applicable, support the development of cultural districts. Improvements may also include the implementation of flood control improvements in the Sea Level Rise Combining Zone that serve areas beyond the project site.

Tables 17.101K.07 and 17.101K.08, below, contain the residential and nonresidential development potential, respectively, earned beyond the base amount (i.e., additional dwelling units and/or nonresidential floor area) by providing community benefits. The stated amount of benefit earns either the additional residential units described in Table 17.101K.07 or the additional nonresidential floor area described in Table 17.101K.08, or a combination of these. However, the stated amount of benefit cannot be "double counted" to earn the full amount of both residential and commercial benefits. For instance, providing one hundred (100) square feet of Below-Market Commercial Space can earn 1.3 additional dwelling units over the base permitted in Area R-A or one thousand three hundred eighteen (1,318) square feet of additional nonresidential floor area over the base permitted in Area C-A, but not both.

$150,000 in 7 dwelling units 10 dwelling units 12.5 dwelling units Streetscape, Open Space, and Flood Control Improvements (See Notes 2, 3, 7., and 8)

Notes:

Additional dwelling units are only permitted for each increment of $15,000 spent on Affordable Housing, Infrastructure Improvements and Employment Training. For instance, $20,000.00 worth of Affordable Housing, Infrastructure Improvements and Employment Training in a project does not provide any more dwelling units above the base than $15,000.00. Providing an additional benefit would require an increment of at least $15,000.00 worth of additional funding.

Every July 1 st beginning on July 1, 2024, the amount of benefit for these items shall be adjusted upward annually at the rate of inflation in accordance with the percentage increase from January to January in the building cost index published by Marshall and Swift, or if such index ceases to be published, by an equivalent index chosen by the City Administrator, with appropriate adjustments for regional and local construction costs, as necessary. The adjustment shall be automatically effective regardless of whether the Master Fee Schedule has been amended to reflect the adjustment.

When the amount of Funding for Funding for Affordable Housing, Infrastructure Improvements and Employment Training, Below-Market Commercial Space, or Streetscape, Open Space, and Floor Control Improvements results in a fractional number of additional dwelling units permitted above the base, the number of units permitted above the base is rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Additional dwelling units are only permitted for each increment of 100 Square Feet of Below-Market Commercial Space. For instance, 150 square feet of Below-Market Commercial Space in a project does not allow any more dwelling units above the base than 100 square feet. Additional benefits would require an increment of at least 100 more square feet.

The additional dwelling units above the base shown in this row of the table is the maximum permitted for providing public restrooms, regardless of the number of public restrooms provided.

Every July 1 st beginning on July 1, 2024, the number of additional units permitted through providing two public restrooms shall be adjusted downward annually at the rate of inflation in accordance with the percentage increase from January to January in the building cost index published by Marshall and Swift, or if such index ceases to be published, by an equivalent index chosen by the City Administrator, with appropriate adjustments for regional and local construction costs, as necessary. The adjustment shall be automatically effective regardless of whether the Master Fee Schedule has been amended to reflect the adjustment.

Additional dwelling units are only permitted for each increment of $150,000.00 of investment in Streetscape, Open Space, and Flood Control Improvements. For instance, $200,000.00 worth of improvements does not allow any more dwelling units above the base than $150,000.00. Additional benefits would require an additional increment of at least $150,000.00.

See Section 15.72.100(B)5 for Affordable Housing Impact Fees requirements when using the Zoning Incentive Program.

Notes:

Additional nonresidential floor area above the base is only permitted for each increment of $15,000.00 of Funding for Affordable Housing, Infrastructure Improvements and Employment Training.

Every July 1 st beginning on July 1, 2024, the amount of additional floor area for these community benefits (not including restroom community benefit) shall be adjusted upward annually at the rate of inflation in accordance with the percentage increase from January to January in the building cost index published by Marshall and Swift, or if such index ceases to be published, by an equivalent index chosen by the City Administrator, with appropriate adjustments for regional and local construction costs, as necessary. The adjustment shall be automatically effective regardless of whether the Master Fee Schedule has been amended to reflect the adjustment.

At least 1,000 square feet of Below-Market Commercial Space must be provided to qualify for additional nonresidential floor area above the base. Additional nonresidential floor area above the base is only permitted for each increment of 100 Square Feet of Below-Market Commercial Space. For instance, 150 square feet of Below-Market Commercial Space in a project does not provide any more nonresidential floor area above the base than 100 square feet. An additional benefit would require an additional increment of at least 100 more square feet.

The additional nonresidential floor area above the base shown in this row of the table is the maximum permitted for providing public restrooms, regardless of the number of public restrooms provided.

Every July 1 st beginning on July 1, 2024, the amount of additional floor area permitted through providing two public restrooms shall be adjusted downward annually at the rate of inflation in accordance with the percentage increase from January to January in the building cost index published by Marshall and Swift, or if such index ceases to be published, by an equivalent index chosen by the City Administrator, with appropriate adjustments for regional and local construction costs, as necessary. The adjustment shall be

automatically effective regardless of whether the Master Fee Schedule has been amended to reflect the adjustment.

Additional nonresidential floor area above the base only permitted for each increment of $150,000.00 of investment in Streetscape, Open Space, and Flood Control Improvements. For instance, $200,000.00 worth of improvements does not allow any more floor area above the base than $150,000.00. Additional benefits would require an additional increment of at least $150,000.00.

(Ord. 13812, § 4(Exh. A), 7-30-2024)

17.101K.120 - Increased density and floor area ratio through the transfer of development rights in the D-DT Zones.

A.

Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to this Section:

"Development Rights" means the maximum allowed dwelling units and floor area established in the zoning regulations for a specific lot.

"Net Development Rights" means the difference between: 1) the development rights on a lot, and 2) the existing floor area and number of dwelling units on the same lot. For example, if the underlying zoning permits a maximum of fifty (50) dwelling units on a lot, and the same lot contains forty (40) dwelling units, then the net development rights for density available for transfer is ten (10) dwelling units.

"Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)" means the transfer of some or all of the net development rights from a sending site to a designated receiving site, resulting in an increase in the number of dwelling units and/or amount of floor area than would otherwise be permitted at the receiving site. For example, a transfer of development rights for number of dwelling units has occurred if the sending site described in definition (2), above, transfers all its net development rights to allow a receiving site to construct ten (10) dwelling units more than normally permitted in the zoning regulations. In this case, the sending site would not be permitted to contain more than the existing forty (40) dwelling units, because it transferred the site's net development rights to the receiving site.

Receiving Site. A development site that receives net development rights from a sending site.

Sending Site. A lot that sends some or all its net development rights to another proposed development site.

B.

A transfer of development rights from a sending site to a receiving site in a D-DT Zone is only permitted if it meets the requirements of this section. This section shall supersede the regulations contained in Section 17.106.050.

C.

Development rights from a single sending site may be transferred as a group to a single receiving site or in separate increments to several receiving sites. Development rights may be transferred from the original owner of the development rights to either: 1) the owner of a receiving site, or 2) to an entity(s) that holds them for subsequent transfer to the owner(s) of a receiving site(s).

D.

Prior to the transfer of development rights, the owner of the sending site shall submit for approval by the Bureau of Planning, in consultation with the Office of Cultural Heritage Survey, a maintenance plan. The plan shall describe any proposed preservation work that guarantees the maintenance and upkeep of the sending site. This plan shall include:

A plan for the ongoing maintenance for the sending site, including clearing any outstanding Notices of Violation;

Information regarding the nature and cost of any preservation work to be conducted on the sending site, including information about any required seismic, life safety, or disability access work; and

Any other information that the Bureau of Planning requires to determine compliance to this subsection.

E.

For any transfers of development rights, the owners of the sending site shall prepare and execute an agreement, approved as to form and legality by the City Attorney and filed with the Alameda County Recorder under the addresses of both the receiving and sending sites, incorporating the restricted development rights at the sending site, the plan described in Subsection D, and the expanded development rights at the receiving site.

F.

After the transfer of development rights, the principal building(s) on the sending site shall not be demolished unless there is an imminent danger to health and safety as determined by the Building Official.

G.

Characteristics of the sending and receiving sites.

Both the receiving and sending sites must be within a D-DT Zone.

The sending site shall be at least one of the following: 1) a Designated Historic Property (DHP); 2) a Potentially Designated Historic Property (PDHP) that contributes to an Area of Secondary Importance (ASI) or Area of Primary Importance (API); or 3) a property rated "A" or "B" by the Office of the Cultural Heritage Survey.

The receiving site shall be neither: 1) a Designated Historic Property (DHP); 2) a Potentially Designated Historic Property (PDHP) that contributes to an Area of Secondary Importance (ASI) or Area of Primary Importance (API); nor 3) a property rated "A" or "B" by the Office of the Cultural Heritage Survey.

A receiving site being granted additional density over the base must be in a location that permits Residential Facilities, and a receiving site being granted additional nonresidential floor area over the base must be at a location that permits Enclosed Nonresidential Facilities.

H.

Relationship to the Zoning Incentive Program and the State Density Bonus Law.

I.

The number of units and/or floor area greater than what is permitted under the base density at a receiving site achieved through a transfer of development rights shall not be more than half of the maximum of what could be achieved through the D-DT Zoning Incentive Program (see Section 17.101K.110 for the ZIP regulations) . For example, if the ZIP allows twenty (20) more units and fifty thousand (50,000) more square feet than what is normally allowed by the base intensity regulations at a site, then the maximum a transfer of development rights can achieve is ten (10) units and twenty-five thousand (25,000) square feet over what is allowed under the base intensity at the site.

J.

The intensity achieved through the TDR program plus the intensity achieved under the ZIP shall not exceed the maximum permitted under the ZIP.

K.

If an applicant chooses to utilize both the TDR program and the State Density Bonus Law, the State Density Bonus is calculated from the new base density established through the TDR, plus any additional development generated under the Zoning Incentive Program.

Construction at a receiving site above the maximum height that is permitted in the applicable base zone are only permitted upon the granting of Regular Design Review Approval. This increase over the maximum height shall meet both of the following requirements:

a.

The additional height shall be limited to only that required to physically accommodate the transferred net development rights. The additional height required to accommodate the transferred development rights shall be based on the average size of the dwelling units (including common hallways) at the sending site and the nonresidential floor area transferred to the receiving site.

(Ord. 13812, § 4(Exh. A), 7-30-2024)

17.101K.130 - General Design Standards.

A.

The following regulations apply to newly constructed principal buildings, with the exception of new industrial buildings:

Ground Floor Treatment.

a.

Entrance. Buildings shall have at least one prominent pedestrian entrance on the ground floor facing and oriented toward the street on the principal street façade (see Section 17.101K.080 for how to identify the principal street). Entrances at building corners facing both the principal street and a secondary street may be used to satisfy this requirement. Building entrances include doors to one or more shops, businesses, lobbies, or living units. Entrances shall be made prominent through some combination of change in material, an awning above a door, additional detailing and transparency surrounding the entrance, stairs leading to the door, and other features. The entrance for Nonresidential Facilities shall be at grade. Entrances shall be recessed at least three (3) feet from the façade of all buildings.

b.

Ground Floor Materials. All ground-floor building materials shall be durable, of high quality, and display a sense of permanence. Such materials include stone, poured concrete, tile, brick, metal panel systems, glass, and/or other similar materials.

c.

Distinguishing Ground Floor. The ground level of the building shall be designed to enhance the visual experience for pedestrians and distinguish it from upper stories. This shall be achieved by designing a ground floor facade that is distinct from the rest of the building through some combination of two or more of the following: change of material, enhanced detailing, cornices, awnings, canopies, and/or other elements.

d.

Ground Floor Commercial Façade Elements. For buildings with ground floor commercial space, the ground floor shall be modulated into a regular cadence of storefront-sized windows and entrances and contain a window base or kickplate, and transom windows. The design of these elements shall be consistent with the style of the building. Ground floor commercial facades shall be within five (5) feet of the front property line.

e.

Active Space Requirement. Parking spaces; locker areas; utility, storage, and trash rooms; and similar non- active spaces shall not be located within thirty (30) feet from the principal ground floor street facade, except for incidental entrances to such activities elsewhere in the building. Exceptions to this requirement can be made through the Design Review Procedure (See Chapter 17.136). Proposals requiring Regular Design Review approval may only be granted upon determination that the proposal conforms to the criteria contained in Section 17.136.050, and to both of the following additional criteria:

i.

There is no other feasible location for the non-active space and the amount of non-active space in the front thirty (30) feet of the building is minimized to the maximum amount practically achievable; and

ii.

When feasible, active space is placed between the non-active space and the street.

f.

Trash and Storage. Trash and storage shall be in the garage, underground, or be otherwise concealed from view of the public right-of-way. Trash and storage shall not be placed adjacent to the principal street facade unless the proposal is on an interior lot (see Section 17.101K.080 for how to identify the principal street).

g.

Utilities. Backflow prevention devices and utility meters shall not be placed on the principal street façade unless the proposal is on an interior lot (see Section 17.101K.080 for how to identify the principal street). These elements shall be placed in a building alcove, underground, landscaped area, or utility room, and completely screened from view from the public right-of-way unless required otherwise by a department of the City. Whenever feasible, transformers shall be placed out of public view and not on the principal street facade. If this is infeasible, transformers shall be screened by landscaping. Transformers shall never be placed above ground in the right-of-way.

h.

Parking and Loading Access Location. Access to parking and loading facilities through driveways, garage doors, or other means shall not be from the principal street when alternative access is feasible from a secondary street facade or an alley (see Section 17.101K.080 for how to identify the principal street). Open parking areas shall not be located between the sidewalk and a principal building.

Base Design.

a.

Transition to Historic Buildings. The design of the building base shall create a transition to adjacent lower scale Designated Historic Properties (DHPs) and Potentially Designated Historic Properties (PDHPs). This shall be accomplished through matching cornice lines, floor heights and other building elements, and creating volumes at the façade of the base that relate to the scale of the historic building.

b.

Building Base Articulation. The façade(s) of the base that are more than seventy-five (75) feet in width and visible from the street shall use both vertical and horizontal plane offsets, articulations, and material changes that create shadow and relief.

c.

For buildings with a clear pattern of individual ground floor residential unit entrances: wherever feasible, articulate and modulate the principal facade of the building base to correspond to the entrances.

d.

Windows and Façade Treatment. Each building base façade facing a street shall contain windows. Expanses of solid walls without windows on these facades shall not exceed ten (10) feet in width. However, wider solid walls required by the Building Code for structural purposes are permitted.

e.

For corner buildings, design the building base to emphasize the intersection of two streets right-of- ways that are both eighty (80) feet or wider in width through a combination of building corner architectural detailing such as added transparency, particularly floor to ceiling windows, a corner entrances, articulation, and high-quality materials, and chamfering the corner.

f.

Parking, loading, or circulation located above the ground floor shall be lined by habitable floor area along all street frontages. If the applicant demonstrates that this is not feasible, parking, loading or circulation located above the ground floor shall screened from the street with a façade treatment that is integrated into the design of the building façade(s).

Tower Design. The following standards apply to towers, which is defined as construction above the base of a building:

a.

Each façade shall include some combination of fenestration, sculpting, volumes, articulation, and/or material patterns to reduce the perception of building mass and avoid the appearance of repeated identical floors.

b.

For tower facades over one hundred and fifty (150) feet in width, provide a change in massing by providing one or more articulations, stepbacks, or notches greater than twenty (20) feet wide and ten (10) feet deep to reduce apparent building bulk.

c.

Design Integration with Base. Vertically integrate with and/or extend design elements of a tower to building the base façade facing the street. This technique shall be used to avoid the appearance of towers being isolated from the street and the base.

d.

Windows. Each visible tower facade shall contain windows, including façades facing interior and rear property lines. Expanses of solid walls without windows that are visible from the street shall not exceed twenty (20) feet in width.

e.

Building Terminus. The top of buildings shall include elements that provide a distinct visual terminus. The visual terminus shall be integrated into the overall architectural design concept of the building as seen in the skyline. Examples include, but are not limited to, curvilinear or stepped forms that soften the truncated tops of buildings, cornices, symmetric volumes toward the middle of the roof, and other architectural forms. These rooftop elements shall be sized, shaped, and sited to also screen all rooftop mechanical equipment from view.

General building design requirements.

a.

Massing. The mass of buildings shall be broken up into smaller forms to reduce the scale and enhance the visual interest of the streetscape. The massing requirements contained in this section shall be applied on all visible facades and achieved through a coordinated combination of two or more of the following: changes in plane, sculpting, building articulation, varied materials, contrasting window patterns and treatments, varying roof heights, separating upper-story floor area into two (2) or more towers, contrasting colors, a distinct base, middle, and top, or other methods.

b.

Heavily tinted bronze, black, or gray glass shall not predominate on or be a signature feature of facades.

(Ord. 13812, § 4(Exh. A), 7-30-2024)

17.101K.140 - Development Standards for New Construction on Lots Adjacent to the Lake Merritt Channel.

A.

The regulations of this section apply to the new construction of principal buildings on parcels that are adjacent to the Lake Merritt Channel or its adjacent open space.

B.

The following definition only applies to this Section:

Lake Merritt Channel Facade - Lake Merritt Channel Facade refers to the façade and private and public space that abuts either: 1) the Lake Merritt Channel; or 2) existing and/or planned parks and open spaces that border the Lake Merritt Channel.

C.

No building shall be constructed within sixty (60) feet of the top of the bank of the Lake Merritt Channel.

D.

In addition to the findings required in Chapter 17.136, the following Regular Design Review findings are required to be met for all development projects that include the construction of a new principal building on a lot that is adjacent to the Lake Merritt Channel open space area:

The project contributes to and protects the unique environmental resources at the Channel and coordinates with ongoing and proposed capital improvements and restoration projects associated with the Lake Merritt Channel.

The project landscaping integrates with and visually transitions to existing or planned adjacent natural and open spaces.

The Lake Merritt Channel façade provides visual interest for pedestrians at the Lake Merritt Channel.

E.

New development shall comply with the following building orientation, facade, and landscape requirements:

Whenever feasible, no Lake Merritt Channel Facade shall include utility meters, utility boxes, or vehicle entryways. If it is unavoidable to place utility meters and/or boxes on the Lake Merritt Channel Façade, they shall be screened by dense landscaping. No garages shall face the channel, and at least one prominent entrance shall face the channel.

Developments shall include open spaces in the form of walkways, landscaped passive recreation areas or terraced plazas between the Lake Merritt Channel Facades and the Channel.

(Ord. 13812, § 4(Exh. A), 7-30-2024)

17.101K.150 - Usable Open Space Standards.

A.

General. This Section contains the usable open space standards and requirements for residential development in the D-DT Zones. These requirements shall supersede those in Chapter 17.126.

B.

Definitions of D-DT usable open space types. The following includes a list of available usable open space types eligible to fulfill the usable space requirements of this Chapter and the definitions of these types of open space:

"Private Usable Open Space". Private usable open space is accessible from a single unit and may be provided in a combination of recessed and projecting exterior spaces.

"Public Ground-Level Plaza". Public ground-level plazas (plazas) are group usable open space located at street-level and adjacent to the building frontage. Plazas are publicly accessible during daylight hours and are maintained by the property owner. Plazas shall be landscaped and include pedestrian and other amenities, such as benches, fountains and special paving.

"Rooftop Open Space". Rooftop open space, a type of group usable open space, includes gardens, decks, swimming pools, spas and landscaping located on the rooftop and accessible to all tenants.

"Courtyard". A courtyard is a type of group usable open space that can be located anywhere within the subject property.

C.

Standards. All required usable open space shall be permanently maintained and shall conform to the following standards:

Area. On each lot containing Residential Facilities with a total of two or more living units, usable open space shall be provided for such facilities at a rate of at least sixty (60) square feet per Regular Dwelling Unit, and thirty (30) square feet per Rooming Unit and Efficiency Dwelling Unit. No additional open space is

required for newly established living units located entirely within an existing facility. However, if the amount of open space on the lot equals or is less than required, then that existing amount must be preserved with the establishment of new living units. If there is more open space on the lot than required, then the amount of open space can be reduced to the minimum required.

Size and Shape. An area of contiguous space shall be of such size and shape that a rectangle inscribed within it shall have no dimension less than the dimensions shown in the following table:

Table 17.101K.12: Required Dimensions of Usable Open Space

Type of Usable Open Space Minimum Dimension Notes

Private 10 ft

Public Ground-Level Plaza 10 ft

Courtyard 15 ft

Rooftop 15 ft Areas occupied by vents or other structures which do not enhance usability of the space shall not be counted toward the above dimension.

Openness. There shall be no obstructions above the space except for devices to enhance its usability, such as pergola or awning structures. There shall be no obstructions over ground-level private usable open space except that not more than fifty percent (50%) of the space may be covered by a private balcony projecting from a higher story. Above-ground-level private usable open space shall have at least one exterior side open and unobstructed, except for incidental railings or balustrades, for eight (8) feet above its floor level.

Location. Required usable open space may be located anywhere on the lot.

Usability. A surface shall be provided which prevents dust and allows convenient use for outdoor activities. Such surface shall be any practicable combination of lawn, garden, flagstone, wood planking, concrete, asphalt or other serviceable, dust-free surfacing. Slope shall not exceed ten percent (10%). Off-street parking and loading areas, driveways, and service areas shall not be counted as usable open space. Adequate safety railings or other protective devices shall be erected whenever necessary for space on a roof but shall not be more than the minimum height required by the Oakland Building Code.

Accessibility. Usable open space, other than private usable open space, shall be accessible to all the living units on the lot. It shall be served by any stairway or other accessway qualifying under the Oakland Building

Code as an egress facility from a habitable room. Private usable open space may be located anywhere on the lot. Above-ground-level space may be counted even though it projects beyond a street line. All private usable open space shall be adjacent to, and not more than four (4) feet above or below the floor level of, the living unit served. Private usable open space shall be accessible to only one living unit by a doorway to a habitable room or hallway.

Landscaping requirements. At least ten percent (10%) of rooftop, courtyard, or public ground-level plaza usable open space area shall include landscaping enhancements. Landscaping enhancements shall consist of permanent features, such as trees, shrubbery, decorative planting containers, fountains, boulders or artwork (sculptures, etc.) The remainder of the space shall include user amenities such as seating, decorative paving, sidewalk cafes, or playground structures.
