Staff Emails Part 15.3 PDF

[This is the 3 rd email I am sending you containing
contact info for outreach of the first public meeting

for the 12 th St Parcel].
Attached is the e/mailing information for all the people who

were either interested in the Schilling Gardens project or
commented on the EIR.
(Background: Schilling Gardens is the project adjacent to

Snow Park. Opponents/historic preservation
types/anti-high rise types of this project were asking for
the City to swap this site for the 12 th St Parcel in order to
save the gardens/ prevent development on the gardens.
http://oaklandwiki.org/Schilling_Gardens
Note: some on the attached mailing list might be ones who
would be opposed to development on the 12th St parcel
too).
Heather Klein, (Planner for the Schlling Gardens site)

recommends that at a minimum that the following folks be
notified:

RE: 12th Street and the "Wedge"
Thursday, December 20, 2012 3:10:18 PM
Thanks
I plan to show the draft parcel map to the potential developer. I will note the sewer line and
state that we are still considering the proper distance buildings will need to be from the line.
We can up date them early next year, but I need to get out the Request for Proposals as
directed by the City Council. I assume this area can be private open space or surface parking,
i.e. loading area.

Subject: 12th Street and the 'Wedge'
First off, thanks to all for finally getting the information on the sewer main which was
determined to encroach on only a small portion of the wedge. From Patrick I have heard
that the potential developers of this property are not concerned with its scope.
This allows us to deal with the final parts of the parcel map which will remove the
wedge from the overall site.
To do this I plan to make a two parcel parcel map with the wedge being one and
everything else in the 12th st. project the other parcel.
This, then raises the issue of property and Right of Ways:
1)
If we plan to, or need to, create dedicated right of ways or reservations across
the land for the streets and pathways, then this would be the perfect time to do it.
2) Likewise, where the previous streets have been removed, the RoWs and road
reservations, if any, should be abandoned.
3) Any other known sewer or storm, or drainage limits can also be delineated as
reservations or such by this map.
Sort of a one size fits all map.
So, since I am just the little-ole-mapmaker here what I need to have happen is for the
engineers to decide on what they want to do, the City Engineer to agree (or disagree) and
then give me a markup with any new streets to be created and any old ones to be
abandoned.
I will create the map, and then, if Council action is required, the map can serve as an
exhibit for that.
After that we can record the map and do it all with a single document just like in the
old days.
Let me know And for those leaving before Friday, the best of the Holidays to you and
yours.

Subject: 12th Street Remainder - Sale Proceeds
There are some issues regarding the 12 th Street Remainder brought up by Counclimember Guillen
today, one of which impacts the land sale proceeds. Based on the strong community concern for
affordable housing, the Councilmember is proposing to allocate approximately $2 million of the land
sale proceeds to the Citys Affordable Housing Trust Fund. But we wont know if any funds are set
aside for affordable housing until the project is approved in Late April or May.

Hello Patrick:
Thanks for your e-mail. When I initially inquired about the 12 th Street Remainder
Parcel, in my capacity as an Asset Manager, I was representing the owners of 1200
Lakeshore Ave. I have recently accepted a position as the Director of Commercial Real
Estate for the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC). As developers
of affordable housing and mixed use properties, EBALDC does have interest in
developing the remainder parcel. I am forwarding the information on the remainder
parcel to Carlos Castellanos, EBALDCs Director of Real Estate Development.

Subject: 12th Street Remainder
There were a couple proposals for the 12 th Street Remainder that the Council thought showed
merit and should be looked at in more detail. In order to be fair, the Council directed staff issue a
mini Request for Proposals (RFP) to all parties that have shown interest in the site in including
Urban Core. I am already working with staff to draft a letter with this formal request, but we are
trying to complete the survey for the parcel map so that you have enough information to refine your
proposal. The Council hopes that this will not delay the project much. The City plans to complete
the RFP process, select a developer and return to Closed Session prior to the City and/or the
Successor Agency gaining the ability to enter into Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA). It is
estimated that May would be the earliest that an ENA could be approved. I anticipate issuing the
RFP in the next two weeks and proposal due in February. We are working on the schedule as part of
drafting the RFP. I will contact you again when the RFP is ready.

Phase I and other reports I have several reports for the 12 th Street project, but the files are too
large to email, 78MB. I will prepare a CD and have it available Friday
I talked briefly with the planner assigned to the Lake Merritt Specific Plan and the rough schedule is
Draft EIR July/August 2013 and Final EIR/Specific Plan & Zoning Updates February/March 2014. She
will be at our meeting tomorrow. Given the nature of the specific plan analysis and your proposed
high rise building you will likely need to prepare additional shadow and wind studies and update
traffic analysis for project specific conditions, i.e. immediate intersections. Here is the link to the

RE: CEQA consultant (and updated ENA schedule)
Thursday, December 19, 2013 2:33:00 PM
UCI ENA Schedule of Performance - revised 12-20-13.xlsx
Faye and Ronnie,

Following our meeting last week, my understanding is that you will soon be retaining a CEQA
consultant to propose a Scope/CEQA approach for your project, based on the LMSAPs Draft EIR.
Since the LMSAP and EIR is now expected to be adopted in June and since your projects CEQA
document will be tier-ing off of the Plans EIR (and relying on the zoning/GP changes proposed
in the Plan), I expect the earliest your projects CEQA document can be heard by Planning
Commission is July.
So, I have updated the status of our ENA schedule (see attached), working with the assumption
that: (1) your projects CEQA work will begin now, concurrent with the LMSAPs Draft EIR
schedule for adoption (as opposed to the LMSAPs Final EIR which would have been ideal), but
(2) will not (/cannot) get adopted by City Council until after LMSAP EIR is adopted.
As for
1.
2.
3.
4.
upcoming ENA deliverables:

Project Team info (please submit to me)
Latest financing/ pro-forma info for project (please submit to me)
Zoning Pre-application (please submit ASAP, if not already done so)
Proposed Scope of Work for Projects CEQA approach lets aim for meeting with your
CEQA consultant and Planning staff in January
To be clear on the schedule: the earliest I expect we will be able to get a DDA scheduled for
action by City Council is September 2014 (as opposed to original goal of July 2014).
We can meet to discuss this in the new year, if you want, but feel free contact me before then.
(Also, reminder that: Comments on LMSAPs Draft EIR are to be submitted no later than 4:00
p.m. on December 20, 2013 to Christina Ferracane at 510-238-3903 or
cferracane@oaklandnet.com.)

Subject: CEQA consultant
Hi Faye,
This is a follow-up email to our phone conversation on Friday.
The Draft EIR for the LMSAP has just been released for public review:
http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PBN/OurServices/Application/DOWD009157
Comments are to be submitted no later than 4:00 p.m. on December 20, 2013 (extended from Dec.
16) to Christina Ferracane at 510-238-3903 or cferracane@oaklandnet.com.
The City has scheduled two public hearings on the DEIR:
Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board
Monday, November 18, 2013
6:00 p.m.
Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room 1
One Frank H. Ogawa Plaza
Oakland, CA 94612
City Planning Commission
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
6:00 p.m.
Oakland City Hall, Council Chambers
One Frank H. Ogawa Plaza
Oakland, CA 94612
At this time, you should retain a CEQA consultant. You mentioned you are considering
LSA/Shannon Allen and I asked around internally if the City would have a problem with that
choice for any reason and I am confirming we do not. I recommend you ask about the Oaklandbased experience of the project manager to be assigned. ESA is another option for you to consider
I heard good things about them and they prepared the EIR for the Citys Broadway-Valdez
Specific Plan.
(Just FYI, Dyett & Bhatti prepared the EIR for LMSAP, with Kimley-Horn as the sub for traffic,
but I am not necessarily recommending them since they have not been able to turn deliverables to
the City on time.)
Per our ENA, the CEQA consultant you select should read the LMSAP and Draft EIR and
compare your proposed development project with the development program assumed for the
LMSAP; then determine if DEIR is adequate for CEQA clearance of the proposed development
project or what else definitely needs to be studied. Assuming the CEQA consultant determines
additional work is required, they would prepare a Scope of Work for you and this will need to be
reviewed by the City as well. It would be around this time that I arrange for CEQA consultant to
meet with the necessary City staff, including Planner Neil Gray, to discuss the proposed
Scope/CEQA approach. The goal of the meeting would be for us to get on the same page and
clarify City expectations before you issue a notice to proceed to the CEQA consultant.
At this time, if you havent already, you should prepare to submit a zoning pre-application.
A submittal is required prior to Planning providing environmental review:
http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/ceda/documents/webcontent/oak035214.pdf
Note that since the City is behind schedule on the LMSAP, at this point we do not expect City
Council to take action on the LMSAP until Spring 2014 which means we may not have a Final
LMSAP EIR until as late as April 2014. (When we got City Council approval for our ENA,
certification of Final EIR for LMSAP was expected to be ready by December 2013). So, just to be
clear, even if your CEQA consultant starts on what they can now, based on the Draft EIR, since
your projects CEQA document will be tier-ing off of the Plans EIR, your CEQA document
cannot be finalized until after the LMSAP EIR is finalized. And it is hard to predict now how
different the LMSAPs Draft EIR will be from the Final version but I will keep you posted on any
controversies that may arise during the public comment period
Just FYI, here is an updated schedule for the LMSAP & EIR but this is just my own
approximation and not at all official or public:
Date
Fall 2013
Winter 2013
Spring 2014
(tentatively in April)
Public Body
Landmarks Preservation Advisory
Board
Planning Commission
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory

Committee
Parks and Recreation Advisory
Commission

Meeting Topic

changes)
Draft Zoning and General Plan Amendments
Draft Design Guidelines
Draft Environmental Impact Report

Draft Plan

Final Plan

And, yes, our City Attorney (Heather Lee) for the LMSAP recommends you retain your own
CEQA attorney. Depending on who your CEQA consultant is, its true you may not need one (at
least not right away) but it is helpful to have an attorney to deal with any complications or
controversy about your project that might come up and/or if your CEQA consultant needs someone
to confer with, etc..
Let me know if you have any other questions about the CEQA deliverables as related to our ENA.
Thanks,

Hi Faye,
I am waiting to hear back about Schedule M. If it is to be completed, it would be by UrbanCoreIntegral, and not your General Contractor but I am waiting on confirmation that it needs to be
completed at all since this Schedule is normally required of a contractor/consultant that the City
is in a construction/professional services contract with; I am not sure if this applies to a
Developer that the City is in an ENA with. Stay tuned
Schedule Q should be forwarded to your insurance agent it provides the instructions on the
insurance coverage the City requires from you.

Also, Lesley Estes is the City staff person in Public Works who reports on Measure

to come to their November 18th meeting to make a presentation on your proposal. (If
you do a Powerpoint, you will need to bring your own equipment and show it on a

Thanks, Michael. I reviewed your latest 180-day schedule and it looks fine. Some
notes:
1. I am awaiting to receive from you the signed contract compliance
Schedules before I can route the ENA document for review and signatures on
my end.
2. In addition to the admin items already noted, please remember to write a
check for $25,000 to the City of Oakland. This is the Project Expense
Payment due for this project.
3. I will aim to set up the initial meeting with Planning staff for next week.
Stay tuned
Again, the City is interested in encouraging slender towers; however, we are
interested in hearing from you (developer/architects) your ideas/if this
feasible. Can you be ready to present some concepts and schematic designs
for our consideration during the meeting?
4. The Draft EIR for the Lake Merritt Station Area Plan is due to be published
this week. I will keep you posted on that.
5. 1st community meeting in mid-October sounds good.

FYI, the Measure DD Community Coalition meets on the 3rd Monday every 2
months.
This 10-year old Coalition is designated the official oversight body for the
$198 million bond measure/Measure DD program and serves as the
community sounding board to staff and the City in the review of designs and
proposals for Measure DD projects.
Their next meeting is September 16th, 2013 and then November 18th. Since
the site was created as a result of Measure DD-funded projects, it might be a
good idea for your team to reach out to the Coalition and get on their
November agenda to present your proposal.

I am thinking before you hold the first community meeting perhaps 2 weeks before
we should schedule a time for your team to meet with Planning staff to discuss any
zoning/height changes the City is considering. I am thinking any project designs you
present to the public should be vetted with staff first. This would be an opportunity
for the City to communicate our vision for the design early on, so that you dont
present design options to the public that the City would not approve.
(I hear that the Planning Department is currently considering requiring a CUP for
heights above a certain level and encouraging slender towers in the Station Area.)
Let me know when you are thinking of holding the first community meeting and

Michael,
1. Meeting with Gregory: I can get that set up for us. Let me know some times you are
available after the 15th .
2. Tonights City of Oakland Planning Commission on the Lake Merritt Station Area
Plan and FEIR: staff has heard from a number of stakeholders that theyd like more
time to review the documents. Therefore, staff will be recommending to the Planning
Commission that this hearing be continued to the earliest of the possible hearing dates
(PC Sept 25; final adoption at City Council Nov 4th, but these dates are to be
confirmed).
3. CEQA. According to the schedule prepared by LSA, the Admin Draft CE Memo-1
(w/o LOS analysis) is due this Wednesday the 4th can you confirm if that still is on
schedule? I know the final CE Memo is due on Nov 6th but this assumes the LMSAP
FEIR is certified by then and that the City is able to stick to a 2 week turnaround
review time can you check with LSA if Nov 6th is still do-able given the latest
delay?
4. I am pushing for Planning to get your project scheduled for Planning Commission for
soon after LMSAP adoption, or 1st week in December. I heard you submitted some
outstanding items to Planning last weekplease make sure you have done your part
to get your application complete for planning staff to begin their review process.
5. Appraisal yes, we need to get this started. I will start talking to Gregory and the
Citys Real Estate Unit about this
6. Community meeting we should discuss this more when we meet. We need to think
about the right timing and make sure the outreach effort is broad. The next Measure
DD Coalition meeting is Sept 15th and I am planning to attend to give any updates on
the project, esp on the LSAs environmental studies that are underway.

Some of thats in the Reg Agreement (binds operating of the projects) and somes in the Loan
Agreement.
Heres a synopsis from last years NOFA (I dont think it will change much on this front this year). Our
projects dont fall neatly under either the strict professional services or construction (generally,
geared towards City-owned Public Works projects).
Generally, contractors must comply with L/SLBE, LEP, Apprenticeship, Prevailing Wage, Equal
Benefits and Certified Payrolls
The developers need to comply with Living Wage, and Equal Benefits
http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/ceda/documents/report/oak030844.pdf
City of Oakland, HCD Page 33
2013 Housing Development NOFA
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS AND REQUIREMENTS
Applicants must comply with the following City of Oakland Employment and
Contracting programs:
50% Local and Small Local For Profit and Not For Profit Business Enterprise
Program (L/SLBE)
50% Local Employment Program
15% Oakland Apprenticeship Program
Payment of Prevailing Wages
City of Oakland Living Wage Ordinance
City of Oakland Equal Benefits Ordinance
Electronic Certified Payroll Submittals
More information can be found at the City of Oakland's website at
http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/CityAdministration/d/CP/index.htm and at
the meeting with Contract Compliance staff to be held prior to the NOFA deadline. It is
recommended that sponsors who receive City funding awards meet with Contract
Compliance staff early in the predevelopment process to ensure a complete understanding
of all the options regarding how the project may meet the requirements. Submission of
documentation regarding the above requirements and a meeting with the contractors and
Contract Compliance staff will also be required prior to construction start.
Additional contracting requirements and instructions include:
The use of contractors that appear on the federal governments list of
suspended and debarred contractors is expressly prohibited.
The Developer must require Prime Contractors and all subcontractors to enter
ALL certified payroll reports into the Labor Compliance Program (LCP)
tracker in accordance with Special Provision Section 7 subsection 7-2.2.1. The
LCP tracker is a web based program that monitors the payment of Davis Bacon
and State of California prevailing wages. The prime contractor will be charged
a monthly fee for this service (subcontractors will not be charged).
The 50% L/SLBE requirement must be met on both the professional services
and construction phases of each project. A minimum of 25% of this
requirement must be met with SLBE participation.
The general contractor selected must comply with the State of California
Prevailing Wage as determined by the Department of Industrial Relations.
Pursuant to the California Code of Regulations Section 16001(d), residential
projects consist of single-family homes and apartments up to and including
four stories. Applicants seeking residential wage rates must submit a request to
Contract Compliance at least 90 days prior to the bid advertisement. The
request for residential rates must include a description of the project, type of
project (i.e. new construction or rehabilitation), the number of units, and the
anticipated bid advertisement date. The residential prevailing wage
determination includes those crafts(s)/classifications(s), or type of worker(s)
not covered by the general determination. Special determinations are issued on
a project-by-project basis and cannot be issued retroactive to the bid
advertisement date of the project. In the absence of a residential prevailing
wage determination, the awarding body should refer to the State of California
Directors General Prevailing Wage Determinations.
Residential prevailing wage determinations are issued based upon information
provided which indicates that the contract has not been let or signed for the
project. If the construction contract is not signed and work does not begin within
twelve (12) months of the residential wage determination, you must inform the
division of Contract Compliance so that updated rates can be obtained. City of Oakland, HCD Page

In the absence of a special residential wage determination, the general prevailing
wage determination must be used. These rates can be obtained via the internet at

Patrick,
See attached letter from Mr. Vann and the Oakland Tenants Union. He is basically contending that
because the parcel was created as a result of Measure DD improvements, then public assistance is
involved, and therefore condo conversion restrictions should apply, like they apply in affordable
housing projects that receive funding from the City.
Has the City placed condo conversions restrictions (i.e. restriction from both condo map and
exercising conversion credits or one/otherI am waiting to get confirmation from Mr. Vann about
his specific minimum ask) on any other market rate project built on land obtained from the
City/Agency?
Is it possible to include some version of a condo conversion restriction in the DDA with
UrbanCore?
I am keeping track of this ask along with the other community benefits asks. I will need to call a
meeting with the relevant staff to decide what the Citys response will be on the various
community asks.

Subject: Re: Report of 7/17 Meeting of Meas DD Subcommittee with Developer on LM Blvd "Remainder
Parcel"
Hello Hui-Chang,
I owe you an apology. I had not seen the actual ENA, but assumed the terms carried over. Even so,
I understood your objection to the term "mandate," and actually did modify the report to say "will
coordinate." What I discovered yesterday was that I had two DD files on my PC and the one I initially
edited from your clarifications and other comments at DD, was not the final copy. When I realized the
error and made revisions to page 3, I inadvertently overlooked the "mandate" correction because I
thought I had already made it (but on the wrong copy). I think it was stated properly in the oral report,
so I will talk with Bill about correcting the archive copy. Again, sorry.
Regarding condominium conversion credits, Yes, the pro-tenant community strongly objects to the
"remainder parcel" being able to be condo-mapped, and thus cause the removal of up to 298 existing
rental units. The remainder parcel is a creation of the Measure DD referendum voted 90% by
Oaklanders as a general plan for betterment and beautification of the city. The pro-tenant community
firmly contends that the remainder parcel, where major city resources were required for the parcel's
creation, should then become a loophole where the apartments produced would (by agreement to rent
the units for 7 years) automatically accrue "298 conversion rights" enabling the parcel's developers to
cause 298 existing rental units to be converted to for-sale condominiums, together with the wholesale
eviction of up to 298 existing Oakland renter households. This cannot happen, and while the developer
is free to build and market condo units as it may wish, we strongly oppose "condo-mapping" of the
development -- which automatically grants "conversion rights," and will therefore insist that the DDA
should prohibit condo-mapping this particular development.
Such possible occurrence would be a moral injustice that totally turns the objectives of Meas DD on its
head, and is an outcome that no one would have approved as a result of the Measure DD referendum.
Your questions:
My understanding is that if a Developer builds with a condo map, the units are not
subject to the city's condo conversion law because technically no conversion is taking
place, even if units are initially rented out.
A bit of semantic acrobatics here: A development that is condo-mapped is not subject to the City's
Condo Ordinance, BUT, by virtue of the Condo Ordinance if the condo-mapped development agrees to
rent for 7 years, the Developer gains "conversion credits" that can be sold to other Developers, or the
same Developer accrues the "automatic right" through conversion credits to remove the same number
of existing rental units from the inventory, convert the units to condos, and sell the condos at market.
It seems to me that even if the City determines there is not a basis to disqualify the project from being
condo-mapped, you and other organizations like Oakland Tenants Union are advocating that this
restriction at least be a part of the DDA is that correct?
Yes, the pro-tenant community is unanimous in having this restriction included in the DDA. OTU
contends that the City has made tremendous financial investments in this parcel that can never be
reflected in an "appraisal valuation." On that basis the reminder parcel differs from other lots that may
be purchased from the City, and which should disqualify this parcel from being condo-mapped.
The initial Oakland Tenants Union statement -- sent April 16 to Mayor Quan and Planning Director
Flynn -- is attached. The statement has been endorsed by all the various pro-tenant
organizations, which are presently in waiting to know what direction the City and Developer may be
inclining toward. Depending on those inclinations, the organizations will begin meeting, developing, and
implementing a serious action program to see that this possible injustice does not occur.
I welcome hearing your thoughts.

Subject: RE: Report of 7/17 Meeting of Meas DD Subcommittee with Developer on LM Blvd
"Remainder Parcel"
Thank you, James. I thought you did a great job of reporting out to the Coalition. And your
points here have all been duly noted.
Just to clarify, the quote you are referring to below comes from page 4 of the staff report to
City Council to approve the Citys ENA with UrbanCore:
https://oakland.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1441186&GUID=8BADE21D-E83E4381-BAF0-BA64C6F8CDAD
It is not from the original ENA Agreement itself. There is no such language in the ENA
itself that mandates that UrbanCore coordinate with OUSD. However, staff recognized
that this coordination is needed for the project to be successful so it was called out in the
coordination section of the staff report. Just to be clear, I think the focus of my correction
here is on semantics.
I am interested in your argument that this project does qualify for condo conversion. Could
you please forward me the statement you sent to Mayor Quan and Planning Director
Rachel Flynn listing the reasons why you believe the "remainder parcel" does not qualify
for a condo map? I would like to understand what you think is the basis for the
disqualification and will look into that question further.
My understanding is that if a Developer builds with a condo map, the units are not subject
to the city's condo conversion law because technically no conversion is taking place, even
if units are initially rented out.
It seems to me that even if the City determines there is not a basis to disqualify the project
from being condo-mapped, you and other organizations like Oakland Tenants Union are
advocating that this restriction at least be a part of the DDA is that correct?

Subject: Re: Report of 7/17 Meeting of Meas DD Subcommittee with Developer on LM Blvd
"Remainder Parcel"
Hui-Chang,
Thank you for attending the Measure DD Coalition meeting last night. Your appearance and
assistance in responding to some of the attendee's questions was most helpful. The clarifications you
forwarded were incorporated into the oral report to the Coalition and will be reflected in the report that
goes into the Measure DD archives.
Regarding coordination with OUSD, the original ENA Agreement at Page 4, bottom paragraph states:
... "Further, UCI will also need to coordinate its project proposal with the development plans of
neighbors of the Property to the south (Oakland Unified School District) and to the west (city's open
space created by Meas DD improvements." Respecting your interpretation, the words "mandate
coordination with OUSD" will be softened.
Regarding possible "Condominium Conversion Rights" for this "remainder parcel" development, The DD
Coalition, CALM (Coalition of Advocates for Lake Merritt - the group that envisioned and gained City
Council approval for Lake Merritt Blvd), East Bay Housing Organizations, 1200 Lakeshore Tenants
Assn, and Oakland Tenants Union all have grave concerns and objections and strongly contend that
the objectives of Meas DD which formed this City-created parcel makes it inconsistent with, and
therefore not eligible for conversion credits.
It is inconceivable that the residents of Oakland would heavily tax themselves to provide for a
development that could cause the displacement, removal, and condoization of almost 300 of their
residences -- many presently in affordable 3 and 4 bedroom apartments -- but displaced by an
assembly of more expensive and smaller, primarily studio-sized condominiums. We are convinced the
public outrage would be both visible and immediate.
To date, Oakland Tenants Union has submitted an extensive statement to Mayor Quan and Planning
Director Rachel Flynn listing some 14 of the broad range of financially-valued city-assistance
contributions that OTU and other objecting organizations are convinced disqualifies the "remainder
parcel" from conversion credits. Hopefully, long before the DDA and prior to more active opposition
actions, an early decision will be made disqualifying this possible development from accruing
conversion credits.

Hi James,
Thanks for these notes.
Two minor corrections 1)the ENA was extended by the City Administrator, not the City Council. The
the possibility of a 6-month extension to be granted by the City Administrator was always a part the
original Agreement. 2) It is true that UrbanCore has been coordinating the development of this
Remainder Parcel with OUSDs plans for the adjacent site but this coordination is not mandated by
the ENA.
I have noted your list of proposed community benefits.
I will look into the question of whether this development would be eligible to convert to condos. My
understanding is it can be because this project has no public assistance. There is no such restriction
for market rate sale of City/Agency land.
The shadow study is indeed underway by environmental consultant LSA as part of additional CEQA
study needed by this roject. I will keep the Coalition posted on when this study is complete.
See you at tonights meeting.

Hi Jennie,
UrbanCore-Integral, the Developer holding an ENA with the City on the 12th St Remainder Parcel,
is getting ready to host its first public community meeting to present their proposal, design,
program. They are thinking about scheduling this for mid/late September, after the market
feasibility study (currently underway) is complete (expected early September). [I have copied
Michael Johnson, principal of UrbanCore, to this email].
We are thinking about how to best coordinate the outreach for this first public meeting. Do you
have recommendations for how Developer goes about notifying interested parties: Who are the key
groups that they should be outreaching to? Can you send me an email list to pass on to Developer?
should Developer contact you directly coordinate? Or should I just let Developer know about key
groups to set the date with (eg CALM?) but then leave it to the various City teams* to do their
own email blasts?? (*by various City teams, I am thinking at least your office, Lynettes office and
the planning team for the Lake Merritt Station plan).
Please let me know your thoughts. The goal is to make sure there is broad outreach and
adequate/advance notice for this first meeting .
Thanks in advance!

Just to call out the key changes, see my notes in red to email below; also, a note
about Section 11 on title insurance.
Your request for the City to provide certification if required by the title company
for issuance of an ALTA policy. was removed because we dont know what you

out for the DDA, where your other comments will also be addressed.

Subject: RE: DDA Term Sheet & Schedule
Michael,
1. The new DDA Schedule of Performance is acceptable. City Attorneys Office is OK

with this new schedule. Please confirm you are OK with the closing date to be delayed
after 6/30/2015.
2. Unfortunately, the revisions to the DDA Term Sheet you submitted this morning was
not made to the latest City draft that I emailed you yesterday, on 3/17. So I had to
merge those two documents and the result is attached which shows your redline
changes as if it had been made to the Citys 3/17 draft.
Attach C DDA Term Sheet Mar18 is a cleaned up version which reflects only those
changes you made that I believe will be acceptable to the City; I have submitted this
version to the City Attorney for their review and approval.
a. Note the three highlighted sections I think should be OK, but may be
taken out by City Attorney
The authority of the Planning Director is not regulated or
modified by the DDA - As I suspected, Dianne took this out.
City does not/has not used brokers so I dont know that we will
agree to hold you harmless any claims on commissions Dianne re-
worded this but it is OK for us to hold each other harmless.
I am not sure about extending the 30 day cure period

Extension OK, but we will have to negotiate a maximum cure date
deadline.
b. I restored Section 14 and 15 regarding condition of the property at

delivery and environmental remediation as I had it in the Citys 3/17
draft. I understand what you are trying to get at here, but rest assured
that the City plans to set aside $500,000 in escrow for site remediation
(that level of specificity is reflected in the actual legislation language to
be approved) and Public Works will clear the site beforehand. (We will
have to give Public Works something like 2 months notice, etc. and we
can work out a fee to charge contractor if it doesnt happen in time, etc.)
c. I restored Section 22 on the Payment & Performance Bonds back to

the language as stated in the Citys 3/17. Again, although I appreciate
your situation, staff is not recommending a waiver of this typical City
requirement in the staff report to Council; however, when this item is
heard by City Council on 3/31, they may choose to make a motion to
grant a waiver on this specific DDA term (and any other as proposed by
staff).
d. I corrected Section 9 on the Schedule to match what you submitted

in the Excel spreadsheet (#1)
Note: In the track changes view you will see two colors of font one which reflects
the changes you made that I am accepting (pending City Attorney approval) and a
second color font showing corrections that I made.
Again, this DDA term sheet will be attached as an Exhibit A to the Ordinance to be
approved by City Council as a basis for our actual DDA.
I will send back to you the City Attorney approved version to-be published, which I am
hoping will not depart much more from the attached.
Thanks,

Hi Patrick,
I just found out from Neil that he and Rachel met with UrbanCore (Michael, Pyatok) and UDR
(Don) and they are proposing design changes to building that are significant enough to require
Design Review Committee.
We wont know exactly what the changes are until they submit their updated plans but from the
meeting this morning, it sounds like:
- Massing is similar but the building skin will be different e.g. more glassy and
contemporary
- They want to add height to the shorter part of the building.
- They want to increase parking to meet the .75 minimum to avoid the parking in-lieu fee
- They want to change unit mix add 3 bedroom apartments.
- Re/moving the caf from corner, and replacing with lobby space in corner and retail along
12th St
Neil expects the DRC date will take place approximately 2 months from receipt of updated plans,
so perhaps June or July and he will share design plans with us once it is submitted

Schedule of Performance - July 2 execution revised 5-22-13.xlsx
Hi Christina,
The attached is the revised Schedule of Performance sent back from Michael I simply added a
column to reflect the dates so its easier to read. Compared to the original schedule I developed, I
see that he moved around some deliverables and dates, increased the Negotiation Period from 12
to 13 months and added 2 more design public review meetings. From my perspective, all these
changes seem OK to me. What I am not sure about, though, are the deliverables related to CEQA.
Can you pay special attention to the CEQA items (10, 12, 17, 19 and 23) and let us know (either
before if easy or during meeting is fine too) if those make sense assuming a final EIR for Lake Merritt
Plan is not adopted until February/March 2014? (I was assuming an adoption date of Dec 2013
when I proposed the original schedule).
Thanks!

Hi Michael et al.,
This email confirms our meeting this Friday, May 24 th at 9:30 am. Please come to Suite 5313 of 250
Frank Ogawa Plaza. We will be meeting in the Dunsmuir Conference Room.
In attendance on the Citys side will be me, Patrick Lane and a long-range planner, Christina
Ferracane, who is working on the Lake Merritt Station Area Plan. (Patrick has asked that a zoning
planning staff be assigned to this project and we are awaiting for that assignment and hopefully that
person will be in
attendance at the meeting as well).
As I understand it, the main purpose of our meeting is to discuss the ENA performance schedule and
assumptions and answer any questions the development team may have. For everyones easy
reference, I am attaching again the Citys proposed performance schedule that assumes a 1-yr ENA
period and a July 2nd execution date (please note the two tabs). Michael, if you could reply back
before our meeting with your modified schedule, that would be great.
Right now, this item (i.e. Authorization for an ENA with UrbanCore-Integral for development of
12 th Street Remainder Parcel) is scheduled on the CED Committees June 25 th agenda. (We may
also want to discuss any opposition to this ENA that we can anticipate coming up during Open
Forum).
Feel free to contact me with questions.
Thank you,

Hui Chang, we are in the process of reviewing the ENA and Schedule
drafts. We have prepared an alternative schedule with some adjustments
to the milestones. We would like to meet with you, Jens and Patrick to
discuss the schedule and assumptions (we will send out draft before the

send a separate email with any initial redline comments to the ENA
document by Monday May 27th as well, which I don't anticipate will be

Michael,
Attached is the ENA draft that has been reviewed by the City Attorneys office. There are no
substantive changes in this version compared to what I sent you earlier. The proposed schedule
remains essentially the same. However, please review this attached draft and record any
comments, questions, or proposed modifications using the track changes function and email
back to me.
At this point, I am aiming to get this item (i.e. Authorization for an ENA with UrbanCore-Integral for
development of 12 th Street Remainder Parcel) scheduled on the CED Committee June 25 th agenda

needed, for the purposes of writing the report. A draft of our ENA will be included as an Attachment

the staff report is due for me.)
I will continue to keep you posted on the staff report schedule as things develop.
I am also attaching an updated Schedule of Performance that assumes a July 2nd ENA execution

Subject: CORRECTION RE: E 12 Street Property - DRAFT ENA
Michael,
I found out that I need to correct statements I wrote in my email from last week.
Apparently, the 12 th Street parcel *is* part of the State clawback order from the Controller . This
means that the transaction for the purchase of this property by the Redevelopment Agency from
the City will need to be reversed. The property will no longer be under the control of ORSA and so
this property will not be a part of the Property Management Plan, but will instead be returned to
the City.
As far as what this means for our ENA, it means we will remove references to ORSA, Property
Management Plan and Redevelopment Agency. Though we wont need to wait for Property
Management Plan approval before staff can seek ENA authorization from City Council, we still need
to wait for a Finding of Completion. (It seems because the funds to be returned to ORSA for the
Property transfer will be part of the payments ORSA will need to make to State before a Finding of
Completion can be issued). The Finding of Completion is expected in May, and I will keep you
updated about that.
However, all this doesnt change my expectation that the earliest we can take this to City Councils
CED Committee is July 9th, followed by a City Council vote on Tuesday, July 16 th. (Again, if it can be
earlier, I will let you know.)
Also, in regards to the Citys plans for the open space adjacent to the subject property, I spoke to
City staff and found out that there is no additional landscaping planned other than maintenance of
existing pond and grass seeding. Let me know if you have other questions about this.
Thank you,

Hi Michael,
(First background once again.:-) The City received its DDR last week and we are now awaiting a
Meet & Confer meeting with the State about the amount demanded before the City makes a
payment. Once the DDR payment is made, the City expects to receive its Finding of Completion.
And only after the Finding of Completion can the City get the "Property Management Plan"
(which designates 12th St Remainder as parcel to be disposed for future development) approved by
the Oakland Oversight Board an States Department of Finance.
After approval of the Property Management Plan, then staff will return to City Council to seek
authorization to enter into an ENA with
UrbanCore-Integral for 12th St. Parcel. At this time, the earliest staff can expect to be scheduled for
City Councils CED Committee is July 9th, followed by a City Council vote on Tuesday, July 16 th. (If
things change and it can be sooner, I will surely try for that and let you know!).
Attached is a ENA document I *drafted* that is pending approval from the City Attorneys office but
I am sending to you now for your (/ attorneys) review, comments, and questions. For your easy
reference, I have summarized the proposed Schedule of Performance in the attached Excel
document sorted by 1) Deliverable Type and 2) Due Date (see two worksheets).
Please comment directly onto the attached draft of the ENA and propose modifications or make
comments and record using Track Changes and email back to me. I expect us to go back and
forth via email a few times and, of course, can meet/discuss as well if necessary.
We should aim to finalize/agree on the language and the schedule of the ENA between now and
before the Property Management Plan is scheduled for approval (I will let you know that date once I
get it, but right now is expected to be in May).
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Michael,
Good news! The City Council accepted staff's recommendation to select
your development team to proceed with an ENA for development of the 12th
St Remainder Parcel.
Let me outline some next steps....
1. The City is now awaiting a "Due Diligence Review" (DDR) determination
from the Department of Finance (DOF) which is due this month. (The DDR
determines the amount in former ORA accounts to be distributed to taxing
entities.)
2. After the DDR amount demanded is paid, then DOF can issue the
Successor Agency a "Finding of Completion" .
3. After the City/Successor Agency receives a Finding of Completion,
then staff can submit a "Property Management Plan", which will designate
12th St Remainder as parcel to be disposed for future development, for
approval by the Oversight Board an DOF.
4. After approval of the Property Management Plan, then staff will
return to City Council to seek authorization to enter into an ENA with
UrbanCore-Integral for 12th St. Parcel.
I will start drafting the ENA document, etc. before sending you a draft
for your review and comments. I will aim to get you a draft in the next
2 weeks. We should aim to finalize/agree on the language and the
schedule of the ENA between now and #4 above so that once the Property
Management Plan is approved, the actual ENA is ready to go for Council
Approval.
