The compact core of commercial buildings has remained intact for a century, and maintains the sense of a special urban place that is clearly understood as “Downtown Berkeley.” This sense of place exists today, notwithstanding changes that have occurred to individual properties since World War II—changes that have modernized and rehabilitated many of the aging buildings built during the early parts of the twentieth century. The introduction of the Bay Area Rapid Transit to the city’s core 45 years ago helped to divert a decline that had started to occur with the loss of rail mass transit to Downtown Berkeley in the late 1950s. This decline was happening in other older San Francisco Bay Area city centers as well. The post-war period of rapid suburbanization within the metropolitan Bay Area saw many inner city areas such as Oakland, San José, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale gutted of their historic identity as the vitality of their downtown areas disappeared. The downtown transit hub, centering on Berkeley Square and serving both the residents

    2. EXISTING CONDITIONS This chapter provides a description of existing conditions within the City of Lafayette relevant to the Bikeways Master Plan. Information is based on site visits, existing planning documents, maps, and conversations with Lafayette residents and City of Lafayette, Contra Costa County and other agency staff. 2.1. SETTING The City of Lafayette is situated in a semi-rural valley in Contra Costa County, approximately twenty miles east of San Francisco, on the east side of the Oakland/Berkeley hills. Lafayette has a population of approximately 24,000, and encompasses about 15 square miles of land area, for a population density of about 1,500 persons per square mile. Settlement started in the late 1800s but incorporation did not occur until 1968. Lafayette developed its first general plan in 1974, and this general plan was last updated in 2002. The City is bordered on the north by Briones Regional Lafayette-Moraga Trail along St. Mary’s Park, on the east by Walnut Creek, on the south by Moraga and Road near Florence Drive the west by Orinda. Mixed in along its borders are small pockets of unincorporated Contra Costa County. Lafayette has varied terrain, with steep hills located to the north and south. Highway 24 runs through the City, San Francisco is a 25-minute BART ride away, and Oakland’s Rockridge district is just two BART stops away. LAFAYETTE LAND USES Lafayette’s existing development consists mostly of low- to medium-density single family residential, commercial, parkland and open space. Land uses reflect a somewhat older growth pattern: Commercial areas are located on both sides of Mt.

  • IV.L. Transportation/Traffic
    IV. Environmental Impact, Setting, and Mitigation Measures IV.L. Transportation/Traffic IV.L.1 Introduction This chapter evaluates project impacts on transportation facilities and existing transportation operating conditions in the vicinity of the project area, including neighborhood traffic, vehicular circulation, parking, transit and shuttle services, and pedestrian and bicycle circulation. IV.L.2 Setting LBNL is located close to three major highways: Interstate 80/5801 approximately three miles to the west, and State Routes (SR) 24 and 13, two miles to the south. Access from the Lab to I-80/580 is through the city of Berkeley via arterial roads. Access to SR 24 and SR 13 is via Tunnel Road. Grizzly Peak Boulevard, which runs through a largely undeveloped area, provides a minor local access route. Berkeley Lab is approximately one mile from the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in downtown Berkeley. IV.L.2.1 Regional Roadways and Routes into Berkeley Regional freeway access to LBNL is provided by I-80/580, SR 24, and SR 13. These roadways are part of both the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Metropolitan Transportation System (MTS) and the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA) Congestion Management Program (CMP) network (see Figure IV.L-1). The primary objective of designating a CMP system is to monitor performance in relation to established level of service standards (ACCMA, 1999a). The MTS network is generally consistent with, but not identical to, the CMP network, encompassing 22 miles of local streets in the city of Berkeley not in the CMP network. Interstate 80. I-80 connects the San Francisco Bay Area with the Sacramento region.

    TR-060, The East Bay Hills Fire Oakland-Berkeley, California, October 1991* United States Fire Administration Technical Report Series The East Bay Hills Fire Oakland-Berkeley, California Federal Emergency Management Agency United States Fire Administration National Fire Data Center United States Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program The United States Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary criterion for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant "lessons learned." In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire -the effect of building construction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highhght once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. The reports are Sent to fire magazines and are distributed at national and regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs assists USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service.. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from USFA; announcements of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public tire education, building technology, and other related areas The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an cxperienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local tire authorities to insure that USFA's assistance and presence would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Marsh Creek Watershed Marsh Creek flows approximately 30 miles from the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo to Suisun Bay in the northern San Francisco Estuary. Its watershed consists of about 100 square miles. The headwaters of Marsh Creek consist of numerous small, intermittent and perennial tributaries within the Black Hills. The creek drains to the northwest before abruptly turning east near Marsh Creek Springs. From Marsh Creek Springs, Marsh Creek flows in an easterly direction entering Marsh Creek Reservoir, constructed in the 1960s. The creek is largely channelized in the lower watershed, and includes a drop structure near the city of Brentwood that appears to be a complete passage barrier. Marsh Creek enters the Big Break area of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta northeast of the city of Oakley. Marsh Creek No salmonids were observed by DFG during an April 1942 visual survey of Marsh Creek at two locations: 0.25 miles upstream from the mouth in a tidal reach, and in close proximity to a bridge four miles east of Byron (Curtis 1942).

  • Classy City: Residential Realms of the Bay Region
    Classy City: Residential Realms of the Bay Region Richard Walker Department of Geography University of California Berkeley 94720 USA On-line version Revised 2002 Previous published version: Landscape and city life: four ecologies of residence in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ecumene . 2(1), 1995, pp. 33-64. (Includes photos & maps) ANYONE MAY DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS PAPER WITH THE USUAL COURTESY OF CITATION. COPYRIGHT 2004. The residential areas occupy the largest swath of the built-up portion of cities, and therefore catch the eye of the beholder above all else. Houses, houses, everywhere. Big houses, little houses, apartment houses; sterile new tract houses, picturesque Victorian houses, snug little stucco homes; gargantuan manor houses, houses tucked into leafy hillsides, and clusters of town houses. Such residential zones establish the basic tone of urban life in the metropolis. By looking at residential landscapes around the city, one can begin to capture the character of the place and its people. We can mark out five residential landscapes in the Bay Area. The oldest is the 19th century Victorian townhouse realm. The most extensive is the vast domain of single-family homes in the suburbia of the 20th century. The grandest is the carefully hidden ostentation of the rich in their estates and manor houses. The most telling for the cultural tone of the region is a middle class suburbia of a peculiar sort: the ecotopian middle landscape. The most vital, yet neglected, realms are the hotel and apartment districts, where life spills out on the streets. More than just an assemblage of buildings and styles, the character of these urban realms reflects the occupants and their class origins, the economics and organization of home- building, and larger social purposes and planning.

  • Firewise.Org Oakland/Berkeley Hills Fire
    Firewise.org Oakland/Berkeley Hills Fire Acknowledgements This report has been prepared by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in cooperation with the Oakland and Berkeley, California Fire Departments and the California State Fire Marshal's Office. The project was sponsored by the National Wildland/Urban Interface Fire Protection Initiative to further the goals of the Initiative, established in 1986. Those goals are to create general public awareness of the wildland interface problem, to encourage formation of partnerships among problem- solvers and interest groups, and to focus on the development of local solutions to wildland/urban interface fire problems. The report is the fourth in a series of reports prepared and approved by the Initiative sponsors. It is not the intention of NFPA nor of the Initiative to have the report pass judgment on, or fix liability for, the loss of life and property resulting from the Oakland/Berkeley fire. The Initiative is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service; U.S. Department of Interior, including the Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs; U.S. Fire Administration; the National Association of State Foresters, and the National Fire Protection Association. Contact information for each of these organizations is provided in this report. This analysis was undertaken as part of efforts to achieve the goals of the Initiative. The purpose was to document the fire, determine to the extent possible the variables causing destruction, and make recommendations on how to prevent similar occurrences. Thomas Klem, director of NFPA's Fire Investigations Department, was report manager and technical editor and advisor.

  • City of Berkeley Downto W N Area Plan
    City of Berkeley Downtown Area Plan Historic Resource Evaluation 5 November 2008 prepared for Lamphier-Gregory Urban Planning & Environmental Analysis Oakland, CA prepared by Architectural Resources Group Architects, Planners & Conservators, Inc. San Francisco, CA Historic Resources Evaluation City of Berkeley, Downtown Area Plan 5 November 2008 I. OVERVIEW/INTRODUCTION At the request of Lamphier‐Gregory, Architectural Resources Group (ARG) has prepared this historic resource evaluation of the Draft Berkeley Downtown Area Plan. The Downtown Area Plan (DAP) is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is a discretionary project that may impact potential historic resources in the plan area. Public Resource Code Section 21084.1 states “a project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment.” CEQA defines substantial adverse change in the significance of a resource as the physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate surroundings such that the significance of the resource is materially impaired (CEQA Guidelines 15064.5(b)). The significance of a historic resource is considered to be materially impaired when a project demolishes, or materially alters in an adverse manner, those characteristics that convey its historic significance and/or account for its inclusion on a historic resource list. ARG’s review is based on the Downtown Area Plan (DAP) as adopted by the Downtown Area Plan Advisory Committee (DAPAC), a memorandum from the Berkeley Planning & Development on “DAP Height and Bulk Assumptions” dated 8 September 2008, which updated Policy LU‐1.4.1— LU‐1.4.3 and the following maps or graphics: • EIR Building Height Assumptions (DRAFT), no date.
