RCPC Seeks Change In
Public Notice Procedure

Oakland’s procedures for public notice of development
proposals have been questioned by the Rockridge Community
Planning Council.

In a letter to the Mayor, City Council, Planning
Department and Planning Commission, RCPC Boardmember
Richard Smith compared Oakland’s public noticing
requirements with requirements of neighboring local
governments. He noted striking differences in procedures for
notification of owners of property around the affected property,
required noticing time in advance of the public hearing,
supplemental and newspaper postings, and _ noticing
requirements on appeals to the City Councilor Board of
Supervisors. Specifically:

—Notices are sent to owners of property within a 300

foot radius of the affected property in Alameda
County, Berkeley, San Francisco and San Leandro.

* Oakland only notifies adjacent property owners;
—Noticing time required in advance of the hearing is10
days for Alameda County, 12 days in Berkeley, 30
days in San Francisco, and 6 days in San Leandro.

¢ Oakland requires only 5 days;

—Newspaper notices are published in Alameda County,

San Francisco and San Leandro.

¢ Oakland and Berkeley publish no newspaper notices,

but Berkeley notifies non-owner occupants;

—When a Planning Commission decision is appealed,

Alameda County, Berkeley, San Francisco and San
Leandro give notice as if for a public hearing.

¢ Oakland notifies interested and involved parties only.

Writing on behalf of the RCPC Board, Mr. Smith urged
revisions in the Planning Code to give Oakland citizens fuller
opportunity to participate in decisions regarding their
Neighborhoods.

U.C. Grad Students At Work

Rockridge Specific
Plan Underway

Basic field work and data collection necessary for the
preparation of the Rockridge Area Specific Plan started late
last month.

Approving a motion made at a January meeting by Vice-
Mayor Marge Gibson, the Oakland City Council authorized
the Planning Department to work with a University of
California graduate planning class studying Rockridge growth
and development issues. Ms. Gibson, aware of the Rockridge
Neighborhood’s concern over increasing urban pressures and
its interest in defining overall goals and objectives for the
Rockridge Area, suggested the University’s resources might be
helpful to the City and the Neighborhood.

In last month’s Rockridge News, RCPC Chair
Barbara Anderson discussed how a Rockridge Area Specilic
Plan could strengthen the ability of the community to protect
and enahnce the character, quality, and vitality of College
Avenue and surrounding residential Neighborhoods.

The field work, a first step toward developing the Plan,
will define the present land use, traffic, and commercial
patterns and analyze the forces that forged them. See page 4
for a map showing current zoning.

According to Elizabeth Deakin, J.D., U.C. Professor of
Planning, class members of the Advanced Studio/Seminar On
Land Use and General Plan Topics have been in the
Neighborhood making preliminary surveys and observations.
In addition to their own observations, the students will talk
with merchants, residents, and City staff. The findings will
be presented at the end of the semester.

Ms. Deakin said the class will focus on several areas
including traffic and parking, a land use inventory, buffering,
and mixed-use zoning. The Studio’s final presentations
will be used by the Neighborhood and City staff in the

Community Service: Engine 19

A Look At The Rockridge Firehouse

by Andrea Gabriel

At the tum of the century as Oakland’s neighborhoods
expanded, so did their need for city services, including fire
protection. In 1912, Fire Station #19 was put into service on
College Avenue at Birch Court “to provide fire protection to
the exclusive residential district of Rockridge and the growing
businesses along College Avenue”. Initiation of this service
coincided with the growth and development of the Rockridge
area promoted by professional developers. In 1924, the
Station was relocated on College Avenue near the 1912 site
and there it remained until 1962 when a new firehouse was
built at 5776 Miles Avenue behind Claremont Junior High
and Middle School.

On a sultry February day, destined to be one of the
hottest of any season, I walked down to the Station to

interview Captain Steve Bernard about fires and the men who
protect this Neighborhood from them.

Emergency Services

The area serviced by Engine #19 includes most of lower
Rockridge almost to Telegraph Avenue; to the South about to
Sist and Broadway; to the North almost to the Berkeley line,
and to the East almost to Tilden Park, including Hiller
Highlands. It’s one of the largest districts in the City,
according to Capt. Bernard, and responds to about 60 calls a
month. Many of these are medical emergencies — heart
attacks, strokes — affecting elderly residents. Firemen,
trained in advanced first aid and CPR techniques are first on
the scene. Ambulances follow, usually within three to five
minutes, depending on the location. Other “typical” calls are
car fires on the freeway and calls to the Claremont Hotel
which, Bernard says, has an all wood frame. According to
Bernard, most businesses in the area do not present much
hazard, but he said Dreyer’s stores ammonia in two 10,000
gallon above-ground tanks. Though not flammable, ammonia
can be toxic if leaked into the atmosphere. The fire engine
company is equipped to fight chemical fires and to contain
industrial emergencies. Other hazardous situations are BART
fires, specifically tunnel fires that can trap fire fighters.

Because much of the area covered by Engine #19 is
wildlands, where in late summers dry fucl is abundant, the
firehouse is equipped with a smaller brush wagon -- an off-
road vehicle capable of traversing rugged terrain. In the
devastating hill fire of 1970 when almost 3,500 homes were
destroyed, Engine #19 was first to respond. The fire was so
intense that all other Oakland and some San Francisco stations

responded.

Facilities and Equipment

Captain Bernard, stationed in Rockridge for two years,
took me on a tour of the firehouse, explaining schedules and
duty tours. Engine #19 is staffed by twelve firemen; four men
cover a 24 hour shift and each shift is rotated daily. In the
centrally located main office, a computerized dispatch system
sounds a loud alarm when a call is routed to the firehouse.
All four men on duty go on a call. Behind the main office is
the Captain’s office and quarters. On the other side of the

main office is a kitchen with a large industrial oven, table and
chairs, and a fully stocked cupboard. Behind the kitchen is the
“recreation” room where one tired fireman on his second 24
hour shift is trying to enjoy a television program. (All
amenities, including the TV are supplied by the men at their
own expense.) A large garage separates the main house and

the dormitories and showers where other firemen sleep. A
small room behind the bunks holds large metal racks where
the heavy cotton firehoses are placed for drying.

The large garage houses the fire engine and smaller
brush wagon. Both are painted “lime green” -- easier to see at
night. Bernard is quick to add that companies are returning
(thankfully) to the traditional red. The fire engine is equipped
with a 1,250 foot hose and 500 gallons of water, oxygen
masks and tanks, resuscitation equipment, power saws, axes
and a smoke ejector to remove smoke from houses. As |
climb into the cab and sit behind the large, flat steering wheel,
I am impressed with the skill and presence of mind it must
take to drive this heavy rig through pouring rain enroute to
saving somebody’s life. I pick up an axe, the head of which
alone weighs seven pounds, and try to imagine how it would
feel to swing it for twenty minutes with other equipment on
my back. (There is reason, I suppose, for the weight training
equipment I spotted in the bunkhouse.)

But perhaps the most beautiful and impressive piece of
equipment in the garage is the old, shining red 1949 fire
engine with an open cab so characteristic of that era. Its shiny
silver grill and gold leaf trim on the gleaming red body show
successful restoration efforts. The vehicle, bought by
someone at auction, is now owned by the Intemational
Association of Fire Fighters (Local 55) and is driven in
parades. It is a grand machine.

Residents Prevent Closure

In the past few years, the Oakland Fire Department has
seen tremendous budget cuts, but the most recent plan by
Oakland’s City Council in the Fall of 1986 called for the
closure of Engine #19. The Union obtained an injunction
while negotiations began. That’s when local residents got
involved.

“We received stacks and stacks of letters and telegrams,”
Bernard said. Public involvement in favor of keeping the
Station open was enough to sway Rockridge Councilwoman
Marge Gibson. She proposed a delay in renovating City Hall
offices, so that the money could be used to keep the firehouse
open. Because of the tremendous support shown by
Rockridge residents, Station #19 remained open. That
incident paved the way for stronger community relations
between residents and firemen. At last, Rockridge residents

were able to give something back to the men of Engine #19
who serve and protect them!

Tours of the firehouse are available to individuals and
groups when requested in advance. For further information

call the Oakland Fire Department at 444-3322 and ask for
Engine #19.

The

Upper Telegraph Avenue
Seeks Zoning Changes

by John Wagers and Jo Ellis

A coalition of Neighborhood organizations met with
Alvin James, Director of City Planning and Tom Doctor of
the Planning staff on Thursday, January 29, as part of an
effort to halt the proliferation of automotive repairing and
servicing facilities and fast food restaurants on Telegraph
Avenue between 51st Street and Alcatraz Avenue.

7 More than forty residents and business owners presented
their arguments for the creation of a new zone which would
maintain the provisions of the existing C-30 zone and exclude
the activities cited above.

A petition to the City requesting the zoning change and
affirming the desire of the Neighborhood to “maintain the
compatible mix of residential units, professional office, and
retail or service businesses on upper Telegraph Avenue, ...and
prevent the development of those uses which would downgrade
the character of the Neighborhood” has been signed by 90 of
the 107 businesses and professional people on Telegraph
Avenue from 51st Street to the Berkeley line. Petitions being
circulated in residential areas of the Neighborhood are also
coming in with overwhelming support for the zoning change.
(See map on page four for current zoning on Telegraph
Avenue.)

The Neighborhood felt their plan was adequate, but Mr.
James was unwilling to consider the zoning change as
presented. His response was “...we know what you don't
want, but we need to know what you do want”. He suggested
the community develop a comprehensive plan for Telegraph
Avenue. Asked if his department would assist the
Neighborhood, he answered that although his staff was
limited, help would be available.

Vice-Mayor Marge Gibson, also at the meeting,
suggested the community consider a plan with a central
theme such as College Avenue’s emphasis on
pedestrian—oriented and Neighborhood-—serving uses.

Additional proposals were made at the meeting:

-Buildings over two stories or 25 feet in height should

be subject to Design Review;

_Develop specific landscaping requirements for paved

parking areas and setbacks;

_Limit frontage of paved parking areas on Telegraph

Avenue to 50% of the total lot width;
Require a 10 foot minimum set back for landscaping

for residential and office buildings;

—Require street tree planting; a:

_Parking requirements for multi-residential buildings
should be one space for every three habitable rooms
with a minimum of one space per unit, and,

_That the City Council place a moratonum on
Conditional Use Permits for automotive—oriented
businesses and fast food restaurants.

At the meeting in addition to the business and property
owners on upper Telegraph Avenue were residents from the
Neighborhoods on both sides of Telegraph Avenue
representing organizations in the Coalition Advocating
Rezoning of Telegraph Avenue (CARTA). These groups

Rockridge News February 14,1987 ———

(NONIA), the Ayala Avenue Block Club, the North
Street—Alcatraz Neighborhood Association, Alexandria
Homeowners Association, the 63rd Street Block Group, and
the 62nd Street Neighborhood and the Peralta School Parents.
Also present were Bill Lowe, Chairman of the North
Oakland District Council and Administrative Assistant to Ms,
Gibson, and Don Kinkead, Rockridge Community Planning
Council. Both organizations have offered their help and

support to the coalition.
Nicolas Sakkis, President of the Telegraph Merchants

Association (TMA), said his group also supports the
coalition’s proposal and will work with the Neighborhood to
be a part of the planning and the future of Telegraph Avenue,
“There is an obvious and renewed interest in this part of the
city,” he said, “and we are giving our support and effort to
help develop this plan.” bak

Mr. Sakkis said the Merchant Association's area of
interest on Telegraph runs from 51st Street South to at least

27th Street. |
Volunteers are invited to work with the committee

developing the new plan. Contact John Wagers at 653-1871
or Jo Ellis at 653-3210.

planning process leading to a Rockridge Area Specific Plan.
An important part of the process will be a dialogue

between the Studio, the Neighborhood, and the City staff.

Ms. Deakin asked people to call 642-3559 to share their ideas

and points of view.

Public Notices, Continued from page I

The Planning Commission discussed RCPC’s letter at
its February 4 meeting. José Arce, Chairman, said he felt
there was a problem and a public hearing might reveal the best
way to solve it. Commissioner Bruce Black suggested that
development applications which fall in the Design Review
category — not currently requiring public notice — be included
in notice requirements. Planning Director Alvin James cited
the potential costs involved in expanding Oakland's
procedures.

Contacted later by telephone, Mr. Arce said he felt the
RCPC position was good, and he added that Planning Depart-
ment staff has started a review of the noticing procedures
following the problems the City encountered during the
proposed Popeye’s development at West Grand and Telegraph
Avenues.

The 38th Street Neighbors and Mosswood Park
Association have been fighting that proposed fast-food
restaurant for a year and a half. The Neighborhood contends
that the City’s procedure for posting notices of filings,
hearings, and appeals failed to notify residents of meeting
times and places. The courts recently agreed and instructed the
City to re—notice the Neighborhood in a 300 foot radius
around the proposed project.

The City did so.

ROCKRIDGE ZONING TODAY

The Rockridge Neighborhood encompasses an area characterized by two specific zoning classifications: R-35 and C-31.
Oakland Zoning Regulations describe the classifications:

R-35 SPECIAL ONE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE “is intended to create, preserve, and enhance areas containing a
mixture of single- and two-family dwellings in desirable settings for urban living, and is typically appropriate to areas of existing
lower or lower-medium density residential development.” Minimum lot size is 5,000 square feet; one dwelling unit is permitted
on each lot. A duplex or two dwelling units may be built on a lot after a public hearing and the determination that the proposal
meets specific criteria. Maximum building height is 30 feet and there are minimum requirements for side, rear and front yards.
Other zoning ordinances for the R-35 zone regulate permitted uses and facilities, signage, open space, buffering and parking

requirements.

C-3] SPECIAL RETAIL COMMERCIAL ZONE “‘is intended to create, preserve, and enhance areas with a wide range of

retail establishments serving both short and long term needs in attractive settings oriented to pedestrian comparison shopping,

and is typically appropriate along important shopping streets having a special or particularly pleasant character.” The regulations
specify permitted uses or activities and restrict certain uses (i.¢., food sales, parking and loading, non-retail activity, sidewalk

cafés) within the front 20 feet of the ground floor except upon granting of a Conditional Use Permit, a public hearing procedure.
All new construction and alteration of existing structures are subject to Design Review, and there are additional restrictions on

signs, marquees and awnings. Other regulations in the C-31 zone category refer to maximum building height (35 feet),
minimum yards, open space, buffering, parking and other issues.

Sweeping Plans For
Rockridge Streets

by Jon Gabel

On January 27, the Oakland City Council adopted a plan
presented by Director of Public Works Terry Roberts for street
sweeping in the City. This plan is responsive to the needs of
the Rockridge district as delineated in a letter from the RCPC
Board to Mr. Roberts. Signs will be installed on Rockridge
streets specifying sweeping days. Parking will be prohibited
on one side of the street during either the morning or
afternoon of a sweeping day. The sign installation timetable
will be determined, as the amount of funding available for this
project becomes known. However, the tentative schedule
Public Works proposed would have the vicinity of the
Rockridge BART station signed very early in the program.

At the council meeting, some concern was voiced by
Vice-Mayor Marge Gibson, our Councilmember, and by some
Rockridge residents over adequate enforcement of street
sweeping parking regulations. The penalty for illegal parking
in a sweeping zone is a $19 ticket. This may not be enough
to deter commuters unable to park in the BART lot. Public
works is considering a graduated parking fine system with
increasing penalties for repeat offenders. A heavy fine for first
offenders is thought to be too harsh for residents who might
occasionally forget to move their car.

Attend the RCPC General Meeting Wednesday, February
18, 7:30 p.m. at the College Avenue Presbyterian Church for

a full report on current and future streetsweeping plans.

C.A.M.A.
Merchants And Residents Can

Often Share Rockridge Goals

by Bill Chung, President _
College Avenue Merchants Association

The College Avenue Merchants Association — CAMA -
is an organization with one hundred merchant members in
College Avenue between Broadway and Alcatraz. Its main
purpose is to provide information and promote business on
College Avenue. The CAMA Board of Directors meets
monthly at the Rockridge Café. The full membership meets
every three months to discuss issues and conduct Board

business.
Though the interests of CAMA and RCPC may not

always be exactly the same, we can work together to achieve
the goals that are beneficial to both the Neighborhood
residents and to business. One example is that CAMA sent
its representative to the Oakland City Council meeting
recently to support the efforts to save Fire Station #19.
Another example is the parking lot issue at the Art Stone
property in which CAMA and RCPC are working together to
address mutual concerns and to be sure the City understands

our interests.
RCPC has been concerned about College Avenue

development that will preclude Neighborhood businesses like
stationery or hardware stores and shoe repair shops. We
should let property owners know how much we would like
that type of business on College. On the other hand, the type
of business already saturating the marketplace will have to
prove its viability under current economic conditions.

RCPC Vice—Chair Floystrup
Resigns To Run For Council

Annette Floystrup, RCPC Vice-Chair, submitted her
resignation from the Neighborhood organization’s Board of
Directors late in January to pursue her bid for public office.
er Ms. Floystrup, a long-time resident of North Oakland,
is joining a recent surge of grass roots activists running for
the City Council. She will challenge incumbent Marge

Gibson for the District 1 seat. Ms. Gibson is also being
challenged by Ms. Cassie Lopez.

Another Oakland City Council seat sought by activists
is that of Councilmember Aleta Cannon, District 3, being
challenged by Mr. Chapell Hayes and Mr. Clinton Killian.

Got something planned you'd like to have the
Rockridge News tell about? Call Don Kinkead at
655-7474 or write to 5626 Oak Grove Avenue,

A Church For All pes:
College Avenue Presbyterian

by Rev. Bill Beatty, Pastor

College Avenue Presbyterian Church represents a
cross-section of the Neighborhood, increasingly dominated by
younger adults and families.

Should you be looking for a church home which is not
too big, where there is a spirit of love and acceptance, where
worship is exciting, where a concern for the Neighborhood and
world is emphasized, and where you would find many
offerings to nurture your faith, then College Avenue
Presbyterian is at your service. There is programming for all
age levels.

In addition, there is a Wednesday program for Senior
Adults, as well as a weekly Wednesday Dinner (at 6:00 p.m.
for $2.00 per person) for both the church and the community.

We look forward to your “browsing”, as well as to
responding to your needs (whether you are a member or not!)
Worship at 10:30 a.m.; Sunday School at 9:15 a.m.

The best to you, fellow Rockridger!

Commission Denies CCAC Permit

The Oakland Planning Commission denied CCAC’s
application for a Major Conditional Use Permit to place a
portable classroom on the triangular parking lot located at
Clifton and Broadway.

Planning staff recommended denial because the proposed
use does not conform with adjacent residential uses, the use
took up parking spaces, and the College has failed to meet
conditions established by the Commission when the parking
lot was approved in 1982.

RCPC submitted a letter of support concurring with the

recommendation to deny the application. No representative
from CCAC was at the hearing.
