Dreyer’s: On To The Council

OAKLAND NEIGHBORHOODS WORKING TOGETHER

With the recent Planning Commission approval of the Dreyer’s corporate headquar-
ters expansion, the Rockridge neighborhood faces a threat which unfortunately is
familiar to many neighborhoods in Oakland: the gradual destruction of residential areas
by inappropriate commercial expansion.

Over the past few years, Rockridge and other Neighborhoods around the city have
crossed Council District boundaries, coming together to support each other on issues
critical to all. With the Dreyer’s project appeal, we once again have the opportunity to
demonstrate to the City Council that Neighborhood planning concerns must be ad-
dressed, and that these concerns are not unique to one Neighborhood.

Time and again, in the face of attempts to convert residential property to commercial
use, the City Council has upheld the integrity of residential zoning. This project
introduces a different aspect. Many Neighbors, backed by RCPC and other Neighbor-
hood organizations, are alarmed about the precedent this project could set. When
influential developers like Dreyer’s are permitted to strip residential parcels from a
residential zonc, it becomes possible for anyone to do the same — anywhere!

RCPC recognizes that there will be development of this site, but the development
must respect Neighborhood scale, appearance, and zoning, and must address the impacts
it creates. The Dreyer’s project, like that of any other developer, should be held to this
standard.

Working with the support of other Neighborhoods, Rockridge can help ensure a fair
and sound decision.

College Avenue Walking Tour

You’ ve wondered what Rockridge was
like before there was a Rockridge. You’ve
wondered what Rockridge was like before
there was a freeway. You’ve wondered
about past developmental influences in
the area. Wonder no more.

You can learn all about Rockridge and
its environs on the Oakland Heritage Al-
liance College Avenue Walking Tour that
begins at the Rockridge BART station
Sunday, July 30, at 1:30 p.m.

Led by Alliance member Sharon
Moore, participants in the walk will ob-
serve and discuss styles of architecture,
transportation history, general topogra-
phy, and impacts of the freeway.

St. Albert’s Prior To

Address RCPC Meeting

Father Thomas McGreevy, Prior of St.
Albert’s, will make a short presentation at
the RCPC General Membership meeting
to be held Wednesday, July 19, 7:30 p.m.
at the College Avenue Presbyterian
Church. He will comment on planning
and fiscal issues facing St. Albert’s Priory
in the next ten years.

The Priory at the foot of Birch Court
provides residence for seminarians study-
ing at the Dominican School of Philoso-
phy and Theology in Berkeley. Consist-
ing of 104 bedrooms, the residence has
tun at half-capacity the past year.

The Priory is looking at ways to better
use the facility in the future, according to
Father McGreevy.

Using material from the Cultural Sur-
vey of Oakland made by the Planning De-
partment, the Walks are held to acquaint
people with the Survey and the vast array
of information it has developed.

These surveys are done in many cities
throughout California. So far, some areas
in Oakland are more thoroughly surveyed
than others.

Rockridge, for example, is an area in
a preliminary survey stage. Community
support could lead to an even more de-
tailed survey in the future, according to
members of the Heritage Alliance.

Call 763-9218 for more information or
to request a schedule of the Walks.

5819 Lawron AVENUE

The applicant’s request for a variance
to exceed the 30 foot height limit was
denied by the Planning Commission on
May 10, 1989. The applicant has now
submitted a new proposal which deline-
ates a building with a 34 foot height,
shown as a 30 foot roof and 4 foot parapet.
The third floor would have a ceiling
height of 5 feet, and is designated as
“attic.” It still has not been determined if
the building meets the 20% limit on ex-
pansion of a non-conforming structure.
The plan is currently under review.
Contact Planner Willie Yee, Jr. for further
information, 273-3911.

5411 CoLLEGE AVENUE
(FILe No. D89-248)

This is a design review application for
a proposed one story 2900 square foot
retail commercial building. The proposed
building would be a “mirror” image of the
building next door on the former “boat
property,” currently under construction.
The exterior of both buildings will be
beige stucco.

Hillegass Neighbors
Consider Traffic,

Dreyer’s Impacts

Increased traffic in the Hillegass area
and the impact of a driveway entrance to
the Dreyer’s complex close to the Hille-
gass/Claremont intersection were high on
a list of neighborhood concerns discussed
at a recent series of meetings held by
residents of Hillegass Avenue and 62nd
Street.

Alarmed at the increase in traffic on
their streets as more drivers use Hillegass
between Claremont and Alcatraz to avoid
College Avenue congestion, the neigh-
bors have developed suggestions to deal
with growing traffic problems. Since
traffic studies have shown that traffic
moves slower on tree-lined streets, one
suggestion was to have more trees planted
along the street. The group has been
working with the City of Oakland and
more trees will be planted in the near
future. Other suggestions include rerout-
ing traffic with traffic barriers, creating a
“slow” street that controls traffic speed by
altering street width and curb design, and
landscaped traffic diverters.

RCPC representative John Gussman
spoke with the group Saturday, July 8, to
discuss the status of the Dreyer’s project
and implications the project has for the
traffic situation in this residential neigh-
borhood.

The group decided to write to the
Mayor and City Council expressing their
desire that the neighborhood retain its
residential character in the face of ever-
increasing development and traffic. The
group also felt the Dreyer’s project should
put more emphasis on public transit; that
is, to design building entrances fronting
on College Avenue to emphasize the
BART station and AC Transit stops, in-
stead of having the main entrances from
the parking lot behind the building. The
recent addition to the plans of a College
Avenue portal is a step in the right direc-
tion, the group said.

Crime Committee
Work Lowers North
Oakland Crime

Continuation of crime prevention ac-
tivity in Beat 13 of the North Oakland area
was assured for another year when the
Office of Criminal Justice Planning
awarded a second grant of $35,000 to the
Oakland Police Department, according to
an announcement by the Community
Crime Resistance Program.

Dorlista Dawson, Program Consult-
ant, reported that the active participation
and suggestions of Beat 13 Planning
Committee members led to the accom-
plishment of the first grant’s objective of
reducing crime in North Oakland.

According to police department crime
analysis statistics presented by Ms.
Dawson, residential burglary in the North
Oakland beat has dropped dramatically
since the program’s implementation. At
the beginning of the first quarter of 1988,
Beat 13 ranked sixth highest in crime
among the 35 beats in Oakland. By the
first quarter of 1989, Beat 13 had dropped
to 29th, she said.

To volunteer your time to continue
work on crime reduction, call Ms.
Dawson at 273-3066.

New LitTER CONTAINERS

At long last, we’ve received approval
from the City to place seven more litter
containers on College Avenue. The pro-
posed locations are at the intersections of
College Avenue and Ocean View, Har-
wood, Claremont, Hudson, Manila, Miles
and Oak Grove.

The next step is to request one-time
donations from the merchants near the
proposed locations to cover the purchase
price of the cans. When financing is
secured, the cans will be placed. Pick-ups
from the cans will be five days a week.

Harvest Festivav Date SET

CAMA’s Fall Harvest Festival will
take place on September 30, 1989, from
12to4 p.m. This event promises to be the
most successful ever. Our talented artist,
Sheryl Duskin, is already hard at work
designing the new poster, and extensive
entertainment is being planned.

CAMA cordially invites all our neigh-
bors to come out on September 30 for a
day of fun, food and entertainment
aplenty.

Zeidan at 428-9256.

RCPC Recommended Conditions for Project Approval

At the Planning Commission meeting on
June 28, 1989, RCPC submitted 37 conditions
to be attached to approval of the Dreyer's
Corporation Project. Of the 37 conditions, only
two were adopted by the Commission (see be-
low, #4a and #5 ) at the time it approved the
project.

RCPC’s conditions were designed to re-
spond to numerous issues raised by Rockridge
Neighbors as well as to the impacts identified in
the Environmental Impact Report prepared for
the project. In RCPC's view, the Planning
Commission's action ignores many of the key
issues raised by the Neighborhood. The organi-
zation immediately appealed the Commission's

(Apoptep By RCPC Boarp oF Directors, Juty 6, 1989)

ISSUE: To Protect RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY

The current project would convert viable residential prope-
ties, in a residential (R-35) zone, to a commercial parking
lot...destroying scarce housing resources, undermining the resi-
dential character of Chabot Road, and paving the way for further

encroachments into the residential zone.
RCPC Recommended Condition #1:

The project shall be redesigned so that all residentially zoned
lots owned by Dreyer’s on Chabot Road remain in residential
use, either by retaining or by replacing the existing four resi-
dential units within the R-35 zoned portion of the project site.

ISSUE: To Ensure Compatipitity With THE

SuRROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD

The mass and bulk of the office building, as it is currently

decision to the City Council. To focus the
Council's attention on the most critical issues at
stake, the RCPC Board prepared the following
list of minimal conditions for project approval.
(Dreyer’s has also filed an appeal of conditions
adopted ed by the Planning Commission requir-
ing redesign of the retail facades and inclusion
of a “pass-through” from College Avenue to the
rear of the building.)

The condensed list of conditions embodies
the core issues expressed by the community to
the Board. Leading the list is preservation of
residentially zoned property, a goal which
Neighbors have consistently sought throughout
the history of this project.

The other main concerns stem from the
project's large size: the building’s mass, bulk
and scale relative to its surroundings, and the
traffic impacts of large numbers of employees
and visitors coming to the site by automobile.
Many of these impacts could be alleviated by
reducing the size of the building, an option
suggested by RCPC and rejected by the Plan-
ning Commission.

RCPC is now proposing an alternative
approach: this approach would address the
individual impacts of the building's size, reduc-
ing visual impacts by redistributing the building
mass over the project site; and ensuring condi-
tions to control the most serious traffic impacts.

designed, would be wholly out of scale with the surrounding
structures and prevailing character of College Avenue.
building would exert an incongruous and overwhelming presence
in the neighborhood. The building’s footprint ignores the pre-
vailing parcel sizes and the characteristic footprints along Col-
lege Avenue; and this effect is exaggerated by the horizontal ori-

The

entation of the current design.
RCPC Recommended Condition #2:

The project shall be redesigned to break up the mass and
bulk of the office/retail structure spreading it over more of

RCPC Recommended Condition #3:
The following condition, unanimously adopted by the

Planning Commission on June 28, 1989, must be retained:

The “ground floor commercial fagade shall be redesigned

to provide recessed entryways, display windows, awning
and tile treatments to make the commercial spaces compat-
ible with other developments on College Avenue; and that
the redesigned facade be approved by the Director of City
Planning prior to issuance of a building permit.”

ISSUE: To Controv Tue Trarric Impacts Or THE PROJECT

The traffic impacts of the project must be addressed. The
proposed building would contain nearly 50,000 sq. ft. of office
space and nearly 10,000 sq. ft. of retail and restaurant space. In
the future, as many as 250 employees could be housed in the
building, and large numbers of visitors will be coming to the site
as well.

The ingress and egress to the parking lot would be at an
unsignalized entrance on Claremont Avenue (a high volume ar-
terial road) and on Chabot Road, just below the unsignalized, al-
teady-congested intersection at College.

Without meaningful mitigation measures, and strict control
of the number of vehicles entering and leaving on Chabot Road,
the neighborhood faces dangerous traffic conditions and intoler-
able congestion.

RCPC Recommended Condition #4:

The following measures shall be installed, cost to be borne

by the applicant:
(a) directional turn arrows shall be installed at the
intersection of College and Claremont Avenues, and;
(b) a flashing yellow signal (both directions) shall be
installed on Claremont Avenue at the entrance of the
Dreyer’s parking lot, to be activated by cars exiting the
parking lot.

RCPC Recommended Condition #5:

The following condition, recommended by RCPC and
unanimously adopted by the Planning Commission on June

28, 1989, should be retained:

“The surface parking lot shall have a permanent, physical
divider between the spaces accessible from Chabot Road,
and those accessible from Claremont Avenue. At no time
shall there be more than 23 parking spaces in that portion
of the parking lot which is accessible from Chabot Road.
The plans and specifications for the divider shall have been
approved by the City Planning Director before the divider
is installed and before the occupancy permit is issued.

ISSUE: To Carry Out THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
Finac EIR

Currently, the project conditions of approval adopted by the
Planning Commission ignore many imporant mitigation meas-
ures recommended or identified in the Final EIR for the project.
These recommendations responded to adverse effects of the
proejct, and they should be carried out. Of special importance are
the measures to control noise which would affect nearby homes
on Chabot:

RCPC Recommended Condition # 6:

(a) a 6-foot high masonry wall shall be constructed on
the western and eastern perimeter of the parking lot;

(b) all ground water removal pumps shall be placed in
an enclosure that results in noise levels of less than 60
dBA, measured at a distance of 25 feet.

(This condition shall be monitored as follows: prior to the
issuance of an occupancy permit, a test shall be made by a
registered acoustical engineer to check the dBA; if the noise
level does not meet the acceptable standard, the applicant
will be required to mitigate with thicker covering or other
materials as recommended by the engineer.)

— Editor:

T enjoy your Rockridge News greatly
but do not understand all the fuss over
wonderful Dreyer’s who has brought
nothing but wonderful joy and good food
to the schoolkids of Rockridge. It gives
them a wholesome place to go for a cookie
or icecream. Since 1934 when we moved
here to the hill area, there was
Johannson’s Creamery and always a place
to go after school for ice cream and
friends. Good luck, Dreyer’s, we hope

Pl’g Commission Has
Not Heard Neighbors

To The Oakland Planning Commission:

Many serious, thorough, and carefully
considered letters have been written to
you and other involved parties detailing
the concerns of neighborhood residents,
and our reasons for opposition to the
Dreyer’s project as proposed. Please
review those letters carefully now and
note that our opposition has not dimin-
ished, because our concerns have not been
addressed.

Points of utmost importance are:

1. The proposed destruction of resi-
dential units;

2. The scale of the project exceeds the
physical tolerance of the area;

3. Reasonable alternatives have NOT
been addressed, or even acknowledged:

* Scale the project down to fit the
neighborhood and the regulations;

* Build it downtown;

* Utilize non-residential space on
Dreyer’s—owned property.

I attended the June 28 meeting and
noted that T. Gary Rogers had his way in
spite of the neighborhood’s well-reasoned
arguments and points, and the recommen-
dation against approval of the EIR made
by the Planning Staff.

I hope it is not too late to ask for
serious consideration of the neighborhood
position.
