CEQA Process An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is an informational document prepared by a Lead Agency (in this case, the City of Oakland) that contains environmental analysis for public review and for agency decision-makers to use in their consideration of development proposals. On August 23, 2010, the City of Oakland (Lead Agency) released for public review a Draft EIR (or DEIR) for the Kaiser Center Office Development Project (ER08-003). The 45-day public review and comment period on the DEIR began on Monday, August 23, 2010. The Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board held a public hearing on the DEIR on October 4, 2010, and the City of Oakland Planning Commission held a public hearing on the DEIR October 6, 2010. The public review and comment period ended at 4:00 p.m. Thursday, October 7, 2010. This Responses to Comments document, together with the DEIR and the DEIR Appendices, constitute the Final EIR (or FEIR) for the Project. Due to its length, the text of the DEIR is not included with this Response to Comments document; however, it is included by reference as part of the Final EIR. The City of Oakland will consider the Final EIR before approving or denying the proposed Project. Before the Lead Agency may approve the project, it must certify that the Final EIR adequately discloses the environmental effects of the proposed Project, that the Final EIR has been completed in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and that the decision-making body of the Lead Agency independently reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR. Certification of the Final EIR would indicate the City’s determination that the Final EIR adequately evaluates the environmental impacts that could be associated with the proposed project. The City of Oakland has prepared this document pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15132 which specifies the following (and which also applies to Draft and Final EIRs): “The Final EIR shall consist of: (a) The DEIR or a revision of that draft. (b) Comments and recommendations received on the DEIR either verbatim or in a summary. (c) A list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the DEIR. Kaiser Center Office Project I-1 ESA / 206213 Responses to Comments / Final Environmental Impact Report April 2011 I. Introduction (d) The response of the Lead Agency to significant environmental points raised in review and consultation process. (e) Any other information added by the Lead Agency.” This Final EIR incorporates comments from public agencies and the general public and contains the Lead Agency’s responses to those comments. B. Consideration of the Final EIR If significant new information is added to an EIR after notice of public review has been given, but before final certification of the EIR, the lead agency must issue a new notice and re-circulate the EIR for further comments and consultation. (Laurel Heights Improvement Association v. Regents of the University of California, 6 Cal 4th 112 (1993)) The City has determined that none of the corrections or clarifications to the DEIR identified in this document constitutes significant new information pursuant to Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. As a result, a Recirculation of the DEIR is not required. Specifically, the new information, corrections or clarifications presented in this document do not disclose that: • A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure (or standard condition) proposed to be implemented; • A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures (or standard conditions) are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance; • A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure (or standard condition) considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the significant environmental impacts of the project, but the project’s proponents decline to adopt it; or • The DEIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5) Information presented in the DEIR and this document support the City’s determination that Recirculation of the DEIR is not required. C. Organization of this Document This Final EIR contains information about the proposed Project, supplemental environmental information, and responses to comments raised during the public review and comment period on the DEIR. Following this introductory chapter, the document is organized as described below. • Chapter 2, Project Summary, summarizes the proposed Project as presented in the DEIR as the Project Applicant has not made any changes to the project since publication of the DEIR. Kaiser Center Office Project I-2 ESA / 206213 Responses to Comments / Final Environmental Impact Report April 2011 I. Introduction • Chapter 3, Commenters on the DEIR, lists all agencies, organizations and individuals that submitted written comments on the DEIR during the public review and comment period, and/or that commented at the Planning Commission Public Hearing and/or the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board Public Hearing on the DEIR. • Chapter 4, Revisions to the DEIR, contains text changes and corrections to the DEIR initiated by the Lead Agency or resulting from comments received on the DEIR. Chapter 4 also presents clarified, refined and updated information to the DEIR. • Chapter 5, Responses to Written Comments Received on the DEIR, contains each of the comment letters received on the DEIR and presents individual responses to the specific comments raised in each letter.

KAISER CONVENTION CENTER Submitted to the City of Oakland November 12, 2014 CREA TIVE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS November 12, 2014 Dear Oakland, We love you. There, we said it. Feels much better to just come right out with it before we say anything else. We love you for so many reasons - you’re diverse, passionate and creative - you make us feel special. You make the Bay Area feel special. You stand for equality and opportunity while the world around us seems to simply stand by as equality and opportunity pass by. We’d do anything to be with you. So we’re giving you our heart, our imagination, and our soul. Please meet One Lake Merritt. Over the last two years, Creative Development Partners has fallen even more deeply in love with Oakland in assembling One Lake Merritt. We have learned a great deal, through the engagement of so many segments of the community, how we can build what Oakland needs, wants and deserves. But ultimately, we are proposing One Lake Merritt because we are an Oakland team. We are the team, the investors, and the deep relationships with the community, institutions and organizations, to work with the City to transform the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center into a project that creates opportunities for all, propels the economy, and lifts up our identity.

Walker Department of Geography University of California Berkeley CA 94720 [email protected] Unpublished paper Draft of Nov. 21, 1997 ANYONE MAY DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS PAPER WITH THE USUAL COURTESY OF CITATION. COPYRIGHT 2004. “Somebody, please, give me a reason to stop saying what I am saying.” --Oakland rapper, Paris1 Oakland is a great American city. But like so many ordinary, workaday places across the country it is disdained and dismissed. Oakland has always played Other to San Francisco, ugly duckling in a bay of swans, sow among pearls, a humdrum and workaday city squatting enviously across from the Golden Gate. In the kind of boastful projection of east coast urbanity typical of the 19th century, the undistinguished settlements across San Antonio slough from little Oakland came to be known as Brooklyn. The appellation might better have been given to Oakland itself, forever just out of reach of the Pacific Coast Manhattan, and following a similar trajectory from ferryboat suburb to brawling industrial giant to present-day catchment for the world’s migrants. Oakland is everything San Francisco is not: never glorious, never glorified, never gloating. Yet Oakland has a story, too, and one that has as many lessons as its cousin across the bay and a geographic landscape replete with both stunning success and sordid failure. Oakland's subordinance has not been as complete as San Franciscans might have hoped, however. After the turn of the century Oakland and the East Bay became the principal arena of growth and the industrial dynamo of the region, a second orb of the metropolis challenging the primacy of the old core.

Ogawa Plaza, 4th Floor Oakland, CA 94612 APPRAISAL REPORT Re: Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center 10 Tenth Street Oakland, California Our Reference No. 190068 Dear Mr. Nguyen: At your request and authorization, we have completed an appraisal of the above-referenced property, which consists of a single parcel of land encompassing a total of 4.79 acres (±208,842 sf). The site is improved with the historic Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center, with a building footprint of 76,900 sf, and a total gross floor area of approximately ±199,700 sf, per City of Oakland Planning Staff. The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the property's market rental value as of January 25, 2019, under the terms of an assumed long term (99 year) lease. The appraisal analysis will consider the property in its “as is” condition, and its proposed future use as an entertainment venue (theater) and office complex. These conditions will form the basis for the valuation. The intended use of the report is to assist the City of Oakland in negotiation of a proposed disposition of the property by lease (LDDA) to a Orton Development Inc (ODI)). The tenant intends to repair and redevelop the existing building into a mixed-use facility as referred to above. Under this proposed occupancy and use, the gross rentable area of the building (as determined by ODI), totals ±154,963 sf, since certain areas are excluded due to historic preservation criteria or inadequate functionality.
