Document Description
NOTE: Review Per Lead
Amend current zoning in existing M, MM, MU-LI and to a lesser extent the MU-R zoning district to 1) remove obstacles to economically viable reuse of existing buildings consistent with the primary goals and objectives of the West Berkeley Plan; and 2) facilitate development of large land holdings through a revised Master Use Permit process. For the purpose of the program-level EIR, it is assumed that over the 20 yr planning period, a total of 3,800,000 gsf of new building area of industrial/manufacturing/commercial development would take place, with approximately half of that representing net new development (with the remaining 1,900,000 sf replacement of existing development).
