Fast-Food
Development
Proposed for
The Ridge Site
by Thomas Lollini, FAIA, RCPC
Land Use Committee Chair,
and Ryan Phillips
Aconceptual proposal to develop
a Chick-fil-A fast-food, drive-
through restaurant on the south side
of Broadway near Coronado is being
circulated by the Oakland Office of
Economic Development.
Te site is the northwest corner of
the roughly 4.5-acre vacant property
known as Te Ridge, where a Home
Depot was proposed in 2021.
No planning application has been
filed yet. Te Oakland Office of
Economic Development referred the
proposal to the Rockridge District
Association for comment.
Te proposed use clashes with the
site’s designation as a housing oppor-
tunity site. Te property is listed in the
2023 General Plan Housing Element as
capable of supporting up to 788 units.
Tat estimate may have been made
before the zoning element raised the
height limit to 95 feet, above the 65 feet
assumed in the inventory.
“Te Pleasant Valley lot is one of the
best housing opportunity sites in all of
Oakland, not just District 1,” Oak-
land City Councilmember Zac Unger
(District 1) said. “Tis space should be
used for housing first and foremost,
and I do not accept that a fast food
drive-through is the best we can do.”
Te Chick-fil-A would occupy

One of the three original East Bay
Regional Parks, Lake Temescal is
an urban oasis providing beauty and
recreation on Oakland’s northern edge.
Opened in 1932, the park has long
been known for its picnicking, hiking,
and fishing — and especially for
its swimming facilities and
related programs.
But at various times over the past
several summers, the approximately
13-acre lake has been closed to
swimmers due to toxic blue-green
algal blooms.
“I’ve been a Lake Temescal swim-
mer for 30 years,” Rockridge neighbor
Bradley Mart said. “Until a few years
ago, the lake was usually open by
Memorial Day and swimmable until

The
2026 Rockridge Kitchen Tour – Purchase
Tickets Now, Become a Docent

Rockridge News
The Rockridge News was founded in March
1986 by Don Kinkead and is published monthly
(except August). It is sponsored by the Rockridge
Community Planning Council (RCPC), a nonprofit
public benefit organization founded to: preserve
and enhance the unique character of the Rockridge
neighborhood; promote the health, safety and
quality of life of its residents; furnish a forum for
community involvement; and provide leadership
and representation of neighborhood interests.
by Star Lightner, RCPC Board
Planning for the 2026 Rockridge
Kitchen Tour, scheduled for Sunday,
Sept. 27, is in full swing. Te Kitchen
Tour committee has selected the 8
kitchens and 2 ADUs to be featured on
this year’s Tour, and is now recruiting
another great group of Kitchen Tour
docents. Docents fulfill a critical role on
the Kitchen Tour: they are the people
who welcome and guide guests at each
house, answer questions about the
kitchens, and make the Kitchen Tour
fun for attendees and homeowners
alike. Whether you’ve been a docent in
the past, or are new to the Rockridge
Kitchen Tour, being a docent is a fun
and rewarding experience. It’s also ideal
for someone who wants to help the
Rockridge community but has limited
time. Many people volunteer year afer
year – it’s that enjoyable!
Here’s what the commitment looks
like: sometime in the month before
the Tour, all docents attend a 2-3 hour
training session. On your training
day, you will visit three kitchens and
hear from the homeowner, architect,
and perhaps the contractor about the
unique features and the problem-solv-
ing that went into the design and con-
struction of each. Te session will also
familiarize you with the house layout so
you’ll be able to guide the walk-through
traffic, educate our Kitchen Tour guests
about the house you will be assigned to,
and answer questions. We hear that the
behind-the-scenes look at the kitchens
ahead of the Tour and the opportuni-
ty to hear about the kitchens directly
from the owner/architect/contractor
are among the best parts of being a
docent. On the day of the Kitchen Tour,
you will be assigned to one three-hour
shif (12-3 pm or 3-6 pm) and will have
the balance of the day to visit the other
kitchens that you did not see in
your training.
In addition to docents, we are seeking
folks interested in helping put up post-
ers and banners, as well as volunteers to

Rockridge Station Transforms into ‘80s Party for BART Prom

by Robbie Tasker, RCPC Board
The screech of BART trains gave
way to the beat of pop music on
the evening of June 6, as more than
1,200 people packed into
a transformed corner of the Rockridge
station parking lot for the first-ever
BART Prom.
BART administration enclosed a
small part of the Rockridge station’s
parking lot to host this 1980s-themed
prom night, and the event was com-
pletely sold out.
Among this sea of people were party-
goers dressed in all sorts of era-appro-
priate attire, mullets and t-shirt tuxedos
abounded, alongside neon tracksuits,
and more baroque custom pieces.
Some of the biggest transit fans in
the area made custom outfits themed
around BART, AC Transit, and the
legacy Key System. One person said
that their custom AC Transit ‘F’ bus was
their outfit for Bay to Breakers, before
they paired it with a matching dress for
the occasion.
Te attendees came from all over.
Tere were those from our own
neighborhood, while some high school
students rode BART all the way from
San Jose to join in on the festivities.
Alicia Trost, BART’s Chief Commu-
nications Officer, shared that some of
the motivation for the event was to have

a prom for those “never went to prom,
or wanted to do a redo of prom,” as well
as to “bring the community together.”
Te event also helped to “(increase)
revenue for BART at a time where we’re
facing a very large deficit,” she added.
Before the pandemic, BART cov-
ered nearly 70% of its operating costs
through rider fares alone. Events like
this illustrate how BART is encourag-
ing ridership. For those who missed it,
BART is making plans to hold the event
again next year. ●

New East Bay Jewish Community Campus Set to Open in Rockridge

by Jana Good, RCPC Board Chair
Starting in August, the Jewish
Community Center of the East Bay
(JCC) will move into its new home, the
East Bay Jewish Community Campus, off
College Avenue in Rockridge. Te newly
created campus will serve as a cultural hub
for local, regional, and national Jewish
organizations.
Te campus aims to be an ecosystem
where Jewish life thrives. By uniting many
Jewish organizations in one central location,
the Campus will enable collaboration and
engagement across intellectual, cultural,
spiritual, and social life.
“We believe our new Campus will
become a central gathering place, not only
for the Rockridge neighborhood, but for
the entire East Bay Jewish community and
the East Bay as a whole,” said Susie Cohen
Crumpler, JCC East Bay Chief Executive
Officer. “We look forward to expanding
our programs and working closely with
partner organizations to meet the evolving
needs of our community.”
Te Campus will be located at 5957
Chabot Road, between College Avenue
and Claremont Avenue. Te Campus site
was previously the office headquarters of
Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream on the College
Avenue side and the original Oakland
Yoshi’s restaurant and jazz club on the
Claremont Avenue side.
Te expanded JCC East Bay, along with
up to 20 other Jewish organizations, will
be housed on the Campus. Te Campus
will feature a kosher café; an event center
showcasing new arts and culture programs;
a catering and teaching kitchen; a health
and wellness studio; an intimate library;
classrooms for adult learning; a spacious

preschool with outdoor play areas and a
sensory room; and a dedicated
teen center.
Te campus will be anchored by
a central courtyard with a meadow,
reflection garden, ball court, and seating
areas, offering spaces for people of all ages
to experience Jewish life together in an
open, accessible environment.
A highlight of the new Campus
will be the performance venue, with
a capacity to entertain more than 200
patrons. Te event center’s collection of
flexible, multi‑use spaces—including an
outdoor deck—will provide a setting for
year-round programming. Events will
center on arts, ideas, and Jewish culture,
featuring local, national, and international
artists and thinkers.
All told, the Campus spans more than
128,000 square feet, of which
84,000 square feet will be building space,
activating a previously underutilized site
in Rockridge.
Te preschool will be among the first
to move onto the Campus, with opening
day slated for August 24. Initially, the
preschool will house approximately
60 toddlers, up to age 5. Over the next
year, the preschool will expand to
accommodate an additional 60 children,
including babies as young as 6 months.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is slated for
September, and grand opening events will
take place in early 2027, when a full suite
of programs and services will be open to
the public.

Hundreds Turn Out to Weigh In on Senior Residence Proposals

by Mark Aaronson
and Paul McDonnell,
RCPC Board Members
how a series of State laws beginning in
1979 limit the discretion of local officials
in reviewing housing projects: developers
can request waivers for features such as
height and step-backs, and these can be
denied only if there are adverse health or
safety impacts.
Javier Arizmendi, an architect and
RNSH member, provided a critique of
the proposed 6230 Claremont project,
primarily regarding its height, bulk, and
relationship to its surroundings.
Myrna Walton, a UBA member, stated
that California Assembly Member Buffy
Wicks, a Rockridge resident, sees the need
for clarifying amendments to recent State
housing legislation to deal with some of
the unanticipated consequences that we
now are seeing. Such legislation would
not affect Oakland’s review of the 6230
Claremont and Trader Joe’s projects.
Te 6230 Claremont project is
entering its final stage of review by the
Oakland Planning Department. On
June 18, a public meeting initiated by
the developers, Ellis Partners and Spirit
Living Group, was held at the Rockridge
Branch Library. Although this was not a
formal “public hearing,” members of the
Planning staff were present to answer
questions.
An overflow crowd packed the
Community Meeting Room with project
skeptics and supporters. Te program
included a brief overview of the project,
including tree removal and replacement,
and a question-and-answer period.
Patrick Flynn, Ellis Partners’ commu-
nity liaison, shared that the tree removal
is intended to replace Eucalyptus trees
to reduce fire danger and wind dam-
age, and to remove other trees (many
diseased) to accommodate the proposed
layout. A total of 27 trees will be replaced
by 35 mature trees.
City review is being conducted on the
project as originally submitted in late fall.
Changes reflecting community concerns
and an updated architectural design will
be made afer the City completes
its review.
Close to 20 participants asked ques-
tions and made comments. People ques-
tioned the project’s demand, financial
viability, impact on traffic and parking,
and the scope of the environmental
review.  A number of participants also
expressed support for the project, citing
the need for additional housing.
Te expectation is that Oakland Plan-
ning Director William Gilchrist will post
a notice of decision on the 6230 Clare-
mont project application in September.
Separately, Align, the developer of the
project at the Trader Joe’s site, filed a pre-
liminary application with the Oakland
Planning Bureau on April 16. Te pro-
posed design does not include retaining
Trader Joe’s.
Given the project’s location, this filing
initiates a consultation process with Cal-
ifornia Native American tribes, which
must be completed within 75 days. Ten,
there is likely to be an expedited review
of the project, as it has been filed as a
by-right development. Under State law,
a by-right project is subject to ministe-
rial review, which means it can bypass
lengthy discretionary review and Califor-
nia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
processes. If that is the case, a final
decision on the project will probably be
made within a year. During this period,
Align can revise its design plans. ●
Rockridge residents turned out in
force for two community meetings
in June to weigh in on two proposed
senior housing proposals.
On June 13, more than 300 Rockridge
residents attended a community meeting
convened by Upper Broadway Advocates
(UBA) and Rockridge Neighbors for
Sensible Housing (RNSH) at Claremont
Middle School.
Attendees included District 1 City
Council Member Zac Unger and Rock-
ridge Community Planning Council
(RCPC) board members.
Te first of the two projects is a Res-
idential Care Facility for the Elderly at
6230 Claremont Ave., which is 85 feet
high and will have a mix of 203 indepen-
dent living (IL), assisted living (AL), and
memory care (MC) rental units.
Te second project consists of two
high-rise towers (one 31 stories, the
other 25 stories) on the current Trader
Joe’s site on College Avenue, which will
be a buy-in Continuing Care Retirement
Community with 415 mostly IL units
and some AL and MC units. Neither
project has, or is required to have, afford-
able, below-market-rate units.
Tere were three main speakers at
the June 13 community meeting. Jack

complicated things.”
For Mart, Lake Anza in Tilden Park
has ofen become the better choice, or
he opts to swim in the Bay.  Still, he
said, “We love the lake and hope to see
it brought back to its prime.”
On Nextdoor, neighbor Pam L.
posted: “(Te lake) needs to be
dredged and brought back to life. I
have so many memories swimming as
a kid and bringing my own kids there.
It’s still beautiful, but I’m not eager to
swim in it.”
Te Park District has been studying
potential solutions for several years.
District spokesperson Jen Vanya
pointed to recent progress in improv-
ing the water quality.  “In June 2025,
the Park District installed an oxygen
saturation technology system in the
lake,” she said. “Before the installation,
the low level of dissolved oxygen at the
bottom would negatively impact fish
and other aquatic organisms.”
Vanya noted that although the
system is designed for deeper, more
stratified lakes than Temescal, “the
installation has made a big difference
for the lake’s water quality.”
Te oxygenation equipment is
mostly unseen at the bottom of the
lake, but the oxygen generator itself is
located near the New Deal-era beach
house, in a small shed that includes an
interesting diagram of how the system
works.
Ultimately, though, it’s decades of
sediment from the surrounding water-
shed, housing construction, fertilizer
runoff, and highway development
that’s reduced the lake’s average depth
to just 15 feet.
When Anthony Chabot built the
earthen dam that created the reservoir
in 1868, the depth reached 80 feet. But
today’s shallower water is warmer, and
nutrient-rich sediment feeds danger-
ous bacterial blooms, which render the
lake off-limits for swimming.
District Board Member Lynda
Deschambault offered more encour-
aging news.  “We’ve recently bud-
geted $800,000 for a feasibility study
on identifying long-term options…
Friends of Lake Temescal volunteer
Jeff Kahn maintained that dredging is
the key to restoring safe swimming. He
noted that the “loose-knit, but
passionate group” has been advocating
for environmental improvements for
7 years.
More recently, the Friends group
was instrumental in getting the City
Council to shelve, for the time being, a
proposal for two massive illuminated
billboards that would have overlooked
the park.
In the meantime, a recent check of
the park’s water quality dashboard
indicates the lake is open for swim-
ming.  At present, it’s free to park and
swim at the park.  Automated ticketing
kiosks are in the works, according to
the district spokesperson, but the 2026
swim season will remain free of charge.

and I’m happy to report that recent
changes in aeration and treatment have
been successful at lowering the algal
blooms,” she said.
Timelines indicate that the District
will review engineering proposals this
summer and identify the preferred
project approach this fall. Preliminary
design and further financial analysis
would extend to December 2027.
Deschambault also credited support
from elected officials, including Zac
Unger (City Council District 1) and
Nikki Fortunato Bas (Alameda County
Board of Supervisors District 5), and
Mayor Barbara Lee, as well as volun-
teer groups in the community like
Friends of Lake Temescal.
Garbage lef around the lake by fish-
ermen is also an environmental issue
for the park. Hooks, lures, and mono-

line clean-ups and installed receptacles

Does Rockridge Play a Role in Oakland’s Illegal Dumping Problem?

by Jack Leal
While Rockridge sees less illegal
dumping than many other Oak-
land neighborhoods, the city’s growing
crisis has prompted a new action plan
that could change how the problem is
addressed citywide.
A 56-page audit by Michael C. Hous-
ton and his team found that city ex-
penditures rose from approximately $3
million in 2007 to $14 million in 2025,
while service requests and the total ton-
nage of illegally dumped material also
increased during the same period.
Approved on March 19, the Illegal
Dumping Expenditures Action Plan
(IDEA), advanced by Mayor Barbara
Lee and Councilmember Zac Unger,
is a set of proposed expenditures to
address the issue.
Unger, who represents Rockridge as
part of District 1, explained why the
plan is necessary.
“Te trash itself is unsightly and
unsanitary, but it also contributes to a
feeling of municipal dysfunction and
drives down business investment,”
Unger said in an interview with Te
Rockridge News.
Te IDEA plan focuses on three key
areas: eradication, enforcement, and
education. Proposed initiatives include
increasing fines for illegal dumping, re-
quiring license plates on vehicles trans-

porting waste, and expanding public
education to prevent illegal dumping.
Unger noted that while Rockridge
“has less dumping than a lot of neigh-
borhoods in Oakland,” he argued that
the impacts extend beyond the neigh-
borhoods where dumping is more
visible.
“Illegal dumping drives down in-
vestment in the city overall,” he said.
“We lose taxpayers and businesses, we
lose the resources needed to provide
services in Rockridge and other neigh-
borhoods.”
Star Lightner, an RCPC board mem-
ber, asked how Rockridge may itself
be indirectly contributing to dumping

outside the community. Te type of
waste being dumped suggests it does
not all come from lower-income
neighborhoods.
“People in this neighborhood do a lot
of remodeling and landscaping, which
requires stuff to be hauled off to the
dump,” she said. “How sure are we that
it’s really going to the dump?”
Unger said enforcement and educa-
tion are key to addressing the issue.
“Every home and apartment is en-
titled to two bulky pickup days a year,
but as a city, we are only using 15 to 20
percent of those,” he said. “All of that
unused capacity should be used, so we
need to educate people to use bulky

Houston framed the issue as more than
just a cleanup effort. “We have to deter
this crime,” he said.
Although the Waste Management
contract runs through June 2030, Ung-
er said the city has experimented with
other approaches addressing the root
causes of illegal dumping.
“We did a quiet experiment in anoth-
er neighborhood outside of Rockridge
where we just gave them much larger
garbage cans, and we saw dumping
go down in the neighborhood by 80
percent,” he said. “People don’t want
to dump illegally, but because it’s so
expensive to buy a residential trash can
here in Oakland, people buy the small-
est one they can, and the rest of the gar-
bage finds its way somewhere else.”
Unger made it clear that he believes
the City’s first priority should be mak-
ing disposal easier and more affordable.
“We need to make it easier and
cheaper to dump legally,” he said.
“Tat’s our first priority.” ●
pickups more ofen.”
Not everyone is convinced the IDEA
plan goes far enough. Councilmembers
Noel Gallo (District 5) and Ken Hous-
ton (District 7) expressed their frus-
trations during the Public Works and
Transportation Committee on May 12.
Gallo’s concern was that the policy
did not accurately reflect practice,
especially given Oakland’s contract
with Waste Management, which he said
“can’t deliver the service.”
“We can do a lot of writing, a lot of
talking, but I want to see those who
wrote it come on the street and help do
it,” Gallo said.
Unger also said the city’s contract
with Waste Management “is not a good
contract.”
“I was not here when it was negotiat-
ed, but we are paying more fees for less
service with Waste Management,” he
told Te Rockridge News.
At the May 12 committee meeting,
In June, the RCPC Board of Directors
approved an enlargement of RCPC’s
boundary within Upper Rockridge to
include the following streets and blocks:
•
Buena Vista Avenue,
between Acacia Avenue
and Broadway Terrace
•
Ocean View Drive between
Brookside Avenue and Acacia
•
All of Hill Road
•
The North side of Broadway Terrace,
between Buena Vista and the
Temescal Regional Recreation Area.
Persons age 18 or over, who have a
principal residence in the above area,
are now eligible to vote in RCPC board
elections and to run for the board.
The Rockridge News distribution
network has been expanded to allow de-
livery of the paper to residences within
the newly included area. Thanks to Skip
Fogarty, Charles Feltman, Rhite Williams
and the other community volunteers
who have helped to make
this expansion possible.
Ridge, contiued from cover
site, it could yield up to 1,221 units, even
with retail, a parking garage, and street-
front units within its base.
A commercial-only development on
this site would run counter to the current
zoning designations (S-13 and S-14),
which require that the Ridge site be used
primarily for housing; and to the City’s
agreements with the State regarding
planning requirements for housing.
Te Chick-fil-A proposal would also
require a conditional use permit. To
consider approving this project, the
City would need to revise its housing
element site inventory to comply with
State housing laws by adding a replace-
ment site. However, there are no suit-
able replacement sites for the prescribed
number of housing units available in
North Oakland.
Te current development agreement
between TRC, an Albertsons subsid-
iary, and the Chan family, who own
the property, requires that the devel-
opment of this full 4.53-acre site be
primarily commercial.
Given the community’s strong sup-
port for housing at that site, as expressed
during the Home Depot protests, and
RCPC’s year long Community Vision
Plan process, RCPC is likely to oppose a
project that uses any part of the site for
a fast-food drive-through, as such a use
would preclude needed housing.
RCPC land use committee continues
to research the project and
the Ridge site. ●
1.5 acres, or roughly one-third, of the

be primarily asphalt paving, with a

size. If the larger vacant parcel were de-

Rockridge NCPC Learns About City Violence Prevention Strategy

by Michele Himmelberg
tion in homicides and shoot-
ings, but the effort was later
deprioritized. A 2023 audit
found that both the police
department (OPD) and DVP
were not effectively targeting
the individuals most likely to
drive violence.
Tat led to a turning point
in 2024. Oakland reim-
plemented the deterrence
strategy with major changes.
Instead of focusing only on
people who could be arrested,
OPD now shares intelligence on high-
risk individuals involved in violence
who do not yet have probable cause for
arrest. DVP then pursues those individ-
uals, offering support and alternatives
before violence occurs. Tis work is car-
ried out by “credible messengers” – staff
with lived experience who have strong
community relationships.
Oakland is seeing the results of this
cohesive strategy, which unifies proac-
tive conflict mediation and life coach-
ing. Tis field of practice is fairly new
in policing, Joshi said, and it’s growing
with implementation in Chicago, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, and other cities.
“It’s a relationship-centered model
based on the belief that most individ-
uals who are involved in violence want
to change,” Joshi said. “We believe the
reasons they’re involved are rooted
in survival instincts and trauma. By
identifying and addressing each indi-
vidual’s primary driver of violence, we
believe we can change behavior.”
Te model relies on two key roles.
Te first is Violence Interrupters (VIs),
who build relationships, identify

Rockridge residents concerned
about crime heard some welcome
statistics at the Greater Rockridge
Neighborhood Crime Prevention
Council (NCPC) meeting on June 11.
Residents also learned about an
innovative strategy being led by Holly
Joshi, chief of Oakland’s Department
of Violence Prevention (DVP), a
government entity that works closely
with the Oakland Police Department
(OPD) and community-based orga-
nizations to make meaningful change
that improves public safety.
Te Rockridge NCPC serves as a
liaison to the Oakland Police Depart-
ment to address community concerns
about public safety.
Joshi shared statistics released in
May: Oakland has seen more than
a 50% reduction in homicides and
shootings over the past two years. She
noted that such numbers are among
the best in the state, and they’ve gained
recognition nationally and from Cal-
ifornia’s attorney general, Rob Bonta.
Te reductions also helped secure $1
million in federal funding to expand
services associated with DVP’s Opera-
tion Ceasefire, which focuses on those
at the highest risk for gun violence.
Te encouraging statistics reflect
changes made in 2024, Joshi said,
when Oakland pivoted to a focused
deterrence strategy, a violence-reduc-
tion approach that combines police
intelligence with intensive
social services.
Te city used this model from 2012
to 2019, achieving about a 46% reduc-

conflicts early, mediate
disputes, prevent retal-
iation, and relentlessly
pursue high-risk indi-
viduals to connect them
with services. Te other
is Life Coaches, who
provide intensive case
management for 12–18
months, maintaining
frequent contact and
helping clients achieve
personally-defined goals
while avoiding violence,
victimization, and re-arrest.
DVP also works through a network
of 21 community-based organizations.
Tese organizations can act more
quickly and flexibly than government
agencies, providing services such as
housing support, workforce develop-
ment, counseling, and crisis response.
DVP’s cohesive strategy also
includes: Group and Gun Violence
Prevention; School Violence Inter-
vention (in partnership with Oakland
schools); and Gender-Based Violence
Intervention, with support
for domestic violence and human
trafficking survivors.
DVP’s next steps include strength-
ening housing and workforce develop-
ment programs for high-risk individu-
als and launching a Peace Academy in
2027 to train future violence preven-
tion professionals.
Joshi emphasized that violence
prevention should complement – not
replace – policing, noting that both
enforcement and community-based
intervention are necessary for lasting
public safety. ●

Claremont Country Club Pesticide Concerns Update

(e.g., AB 1864 and existing school-
zone regulations) mandates 1/4-mile
buffer zones for schools in agricultural
areas—ofen involving the same chemi-
cals used in golf course management—
will the club adopt these same protec-
tions as a precautionary measure to
help ensure the safety of local students?
Exposure & Environmental
Mitigation
Advance Public Notification: Will the
club commit to posting clear, visible
signage around the entire perimeter
of the golf course 72 hours before and
afer any chemical spraying?
Prop 65 Compliance: In order to
abide by Proposition 65, how are mem-
bers and employees currently informed
of potential chemical exposure while
on the grounds?
Wildlife & Ecosystem Protection:
Given the high aquatic and avian toxic-
ity warnings of certain pesticides, what
active monitoring and mitigation pro-
tocols are in place to protect wildlife?
Runoff Management: Specifically,
how does the club measure and prevent
chemical runoff into stormwater drains
and the surrounding ecosystem?
Future Transitions & Innovation
Transition: Is the club open to transi-
tioning away from a heavy reliance on
synthetics and moving toward a more
organic turf management approach?
Expert Consultation: Is the club open
to a meeting with experts who have
assisted prestigious courses in imple-
menting soil biology-based
management
To join the conversation or offer
your professional expertise, please sign

Best Practices
Does the club follow established best
practices for pest management, and if
so, which specific guidelines does
it follow?
Safety Protocols & Oversight
Regulatory Guidance: Who is
responsible for deciding or informing
the club’s safety protocols regarding
pesticide use?
Re-evaluation Cycle: How frequently
does the club re-evaluate these safety
protocols to align with new data
or regulations?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM):
Does the club maintain a formal IPM
program? If so, would the club be will-
ing to share the current plan with the
community for transparency?
Safety Oversight: Is there a spe-
cific individual or officer at the club
responsible for tracking chemical safety
profiles and the efficacy of current
protocols?
Protection of Vulnerable
Populations
Immediate Buffer Zones: Given that
infants and children are among the
most vulnerable to the impacts of pes-
ticide exposure, will the club commit
to implementing immediate 1/4-mile
“No-Spray” buffer zones around all
neighboring daycares, preschools,
and schools?
Alignment with State Standards:
Recognizing that California law
by Casey Farmer, Morgan
Molvig, and Sarah Raifman
Rockridge neighbors continue to
seek answers from the Claremont
Country Club about its pesticide use,
citing a recent medical study linking
the chemicals used on the golf course
to Parkinson’s disease.
In December 2025, RCPC and a
coalition of neighbors sent a joint letter
to the leadership of the Claremont
Country Club requesting a meeting
to discuss the club’s pesticide use. Te
group’s concerns originated from a
recent medical study linking the types
of pesticides used at Claremont’s golf
course with Parkinson’s disease.
Trough additional research, the
coalition learned about alternative
golf course management approaches
to improve public health and reduce
the ecological footprint of greens and
fairways.
Many neighbors responded to a Feb-
ruary article in Te Rockridge News
about the issue. Te group hopes to
gather online and in person to discuss
strategies to promote health and safety.
Claremont’s General Manager and
three Board members met with the
group on March 10, listened to con-
cerns, and committed to responding to
specific questions.
Below are the questions we presented
at the March 10th meeting:

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
2. We’ve failed to add meaningful
housing here for 50 years. Catching
up costs more now than it would have
then. Building taller now is the price of
decades of saying no. If we want devel-
opers to actually build, we have to make
it pencil for them.
Yes, I’ll miss Trader Joe’s. Yes, I’d
love more modest massing. Yes, this is
genuinely hard on neighbors closest
to the sites. None of that changes the
math. Our homes are worth what they’re
worth because of proximity to BART
and to the job market across the Bay.
Pocketing that appreciation while block-
ing new housing and then complaining
about affordability is hypocrisy.
Look at Austin, Texas. Years of aggres-
sive construction stabilized rents and, in
many cases, brought them down. Tat’s
what works. 100% affordable housing
built by the government isn’t coming.
It rarely pencils, and waiting for it has
been our excuse for half a century.
Approve them both.
I  live in Rockridge, and I 100%
support the proposed housing develop-
ments on the Trader Joe’s site and the
Claremont site, and I’d encourage my
neighbors to do the same.
We’re sitting on top of a BART station.
It means anyone living in our neighbor-
hood can be in downtown SF, one of the
most lucrative job markets in the world,
in under 20 minutes without owning
a car. Pretending that College Avenue,
a major thoroughfare minutes from
BART and two freeways, should stay a
neighborhood of single-family homes
is, frankly, insane: in terms of driving
affordability, and in terms of building a
sustainable planet.
Would I prefer three- or four-story
buildings instead of these proposals?
Yes. But two things are true.
1. Opposition would arrive at any
density. Te same neighbors writing
letters against 10 stories would write
letters against 4. Te “modest massing”
alternative isn’t really on the table. Te
alternative is nothing.
