Document Type: EIR - Draft EIR
Received: 12/16/2010

Document Description: The main purpose of the ZOA is to facilitate the approval of improvements authorized under Measure FF, a bond measure approved by Berkley voters in November 2008 to "renovate, expand, and make seismic and access improvements at four neighborhood branch libraries." The ZOA would also allow modification of zoning requirements applicable to future, as yet unknown, improvement that may be necessary at existing library sites. The ZOA would not allow modification of zoning standards for any newly constructed building on a site other than the five currently existing library sites.
