SUBJECT:
Progress Report – January 2015
The following provides the City Council and staff with a summary of the activities of
each department for the prior month.
CITY MANAGER / CITY CLERK
1. City Clerk and IT staff have been focused on transitioning from the current automated
agenda packet and electronics records management software to a new vendor that is
expected to result in a more user-friendly platform with more responsive customer
service. Staff expects that the new automated software system will be completely up
and running in February 2015. The next joint City Clerk/IT project will be on
implementing the new electronic records management system.
2. Staffs is working with an assessment engineer to scope out issues and analyze data
relating to the Property Based Business Improvement District (PBID) that funds the
Emery Go-Round shuttle. Issues include determination of general vs. special benefit
and aligning land use to special benefit based upon current use patterns. A ridership
survey is planned to be conducted by the end of January and community outreach
initiatives expected to commence by early March (after a preliminary analysis of the
issues is completed to form the basis of community discussions that will lead to a PBID
renewal proposal (management plan) for consideration by parcel owners in Summer
2015. Final adoption of the PBID requires City Council approval (assuming that the
PBID is first ratified by parcel owners).
3. Staff has been working on a proposal to revamp the City’s advisory body structure that is
expected to be submitted in February for City Council review. Based upon Council’s
direction in February, staff will amend the City’s advisory body roster, committee bylaws, and relevant City Council rules and procedures for Council action in March.
Changes to the City’s advisory body structure are expected to be effective in May. Staff
will conduct a community outreach initiative regarding the new advisory body roster and
related advisory body policy/procedure documents in April and will at the same time
initiate a recruitment process for (re)appointing advisory body members for FY2015-16.
4. Staff is working with the Police Department and the City Attorney’s Office to review and
make recommendations for amendments to the City’s ordinances relating to animal
control, including dogs in parks. The current ordinances do not address issues such as
dog parks, dog walkers, urban husbandry, or owner responsibility for proper handling of
pet waste. A draft ordinance is expected to be completed for review by the City’s Parks
and Recreation Advisory Committee in April.
5. 26 reports from the public were logged in through the Report a Concern link via the
Citys’ website for the month of January.

Financial Performance
Review of Top Five Revenues – January reflects the first six months’ collections of fiscal year
2014-15 as there is typically a 30-day delay in remittances. Sales taxes of $3 million through
November 2014 are consistent with the prior year. The majority of the Business License tax
revenue is collected with the annual renewals due March 1, 2015. However, there are quarterly
renewals and new businesses that are processed throughout the year. Business License
collections for the first seven months of the year are 30% below the prior year due to the timing
of receipts. Two significant business license tax payments totaling $417k were received during
January 2014, while the same payments for the current tax year are expected during February
2015. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) collections of $3.1M reflect an increase of 12.4% over
last year’s total. Utility Users Tax reflects a decrease of $135k or 8.2% over the prior year
primarily due to one-time payments of $90k received during FY2013-14. Card Room Tax
revenue remains relatively flat at $1.2M compared with the prior year.

IT has assumed the internal project manager role for the Public Works Department’s
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software selection and
implementation process.
Project Status:
Staff met with the vendor’s new Project Manager to “reboot” the project. The new PM had

completed in late January. All information has been submitted to the Apple App Store, which
has a 45 day turnaround time. Testing will begin in late February and a go-live date is
Information Technology Progress Report

scheduled for March 23.
3. Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) Scanning and Migration:
Project Goal:
To create an electronic repository for official City documents that will allow for fast, robust
searches, will minimize impact on staff’s workload, and can be integrated with the City’s
website for public access.
Updated Goal:
The existing EDMS vendor has discontinued support of the current SIRE software package.
The City has selected a new EDMS vendor and an implementation and migration of existing
data will kick off in August.
IT’s Role:
IT has assumed the internal project manager role for the EDMS project which includes
scanning, uploading, and indexing all historical city resolutions, ordinances, meeting minutes
and agendas as available. IT is managing the vendor contract and overseeing the physical
transportation of files.
Project Status:
Vendor indexing of the City Attorney’s documents continued into January. Documents are to
be delivered back to the City in late February. In January, a contract was entered into with
the vendor to convert all existing SIRE documents into the new Laserfiche system.
Additionally, IT Staff attended a week long user conference on the new Laserfiche software
in January. At conference, IT received hands on training and real world examples of
paperless workflow, document archiving and best practices to maintain the databases.
4. Granicus Legistar Implementation
Project Goal:
Replace current SIRE agenda automation system with Granicus Legistar system, train all
applicable City Staff on submittal / approval process, integrate with current website, and
deploy mobile device application.
IT’s Role:
IT has assumed the project management role on this project, coordinating all facets of the
deployment, and training and serving as a liaison between the vendor and City Clerk’s
Office.
Project Status:
Phase I of the Granicus implementation is complete. The next phases of the project are to
integrate a “post-meeting” process with the Laserfiche document archival system, complete
the rollout of the iLegislate iPad add the appropriate personnel, and configure the system to
be used for Planning Commission Meetings.

5. Recreation Software Replacement
Project Goal:
Replace existing software with a more user friendly, cost efficient option.
IT’s Role:
IT will work with the Community Services Department to develop a requirements document,
solicit appropriate vendors, organize software demonstrations, negotiate contracts and
manage the implementation of the software.
Project Status:
This project has been placed on temporary hold by the Community Services Department.
6. Police Department – City Network Integration
Project Goal:
Integrate the Police and City Administration Domains as appropriate to allow for shared
management, pooling of resources, IT staff cross-training and support, and leverage of
existing hardware and infrastructure without compromising the integrity of the data or
security on either network.
IT’s Role:
IT is responsible for the planning and implementation of all integration tasks.
Project Status:
Research continues on various options to integrate email environments, take advantage of
multiple broadband options, and integrate applications between the two networks. This
project remains in the research phase.
7.
CAD / RMS Software Upgrade
Project Goal:
Upgrade the existing CAD / RMS CYRUN software in the Police vehicles, dispatch center,
and back-end servers to the newest format.
IT’s Role:
IT is responsible for vendor management, implementation scheduling and coordinating
testing between the vendor and the end-users.
Project Status:
In July the vendor deployed the new version of the software to the dispatch center. The
vendor remained on site for several weeks to work through reported issues. IT continues to
January 2015
Page 4 of 4
work with the vendor on site and remotely to fine tune the various glitches in the system that
are being reported by the end-users in the Police Department. IT staff continues to field a
large amount of help desk items surrounding the deployment of the new version of the CAD /
RMS software. IT staff are responding to requests than can be fixed internally and managing
the process and interfacing with the vendor on other issues. Multiple glitches are still being
reported by PD staff and IT is working for several hours per day sorting through requests and
filtering issues for the vendor to correct.
Staff is awaiting the rollout of a Property Module from the vendor. No additional updates on
this project in January.
8. Mobile Computer Replacement
Project Goal:
Replace the existing mobile computers in the police vehicle fleet with new, ruggedized
tablets.
IT’s Role:
IT’s role in this project is to assist with vendor selection, hardware evaluation, contract
negotiation, and arranging demonstration units to be delivered to the Police Department for
testing.
Project Status:
A Staff Report with a recommendation to purchase Motion Computing ruggedized tablets
from CDW-G was written in January and will be presented to the City Council on March 3.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MONTH
Several major development projects progressed through the “pipeline” in January. The Sherwin
Williams Mixed Use Project was the subject of a City Council study session on January 20 and an
EIR scoping meeting on January 27, both of which were well-attended. The EIR Notice of
Preparation comment period was extended to February 27. The 3706 San Pablo Avenue
affordable housing project was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission. Proposals
for four new buildings and the realignment of Shellmound Street as part of the Marketplace
Redevelopment Project were reviewed at study sessions by the Planning Commission. The
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Anton Emeryville residential project at 6701
Shellmound Project (“Nady Site”) was published for recirculation on January 20 with the review
period ending on February 18; the project is tentatively scheduled for Planning Commission
consideration on March 26.
The Emeryville Berkeley Oakland Transit Study (EBOTS) was unanimously approved by the City
Council following two years of hard work by the three cities, various transit agencies, and
others who participated in the effort.
The City Council considered minimum wage options and directed staff to prepare an ordinance
for a minimum wage tied to Emeryville’s “living wage”, which is a little over $14 per hour, to
take effect by July 1.
The Housing Element, which was adopted by the City Council on November 18, was certified by
the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on January 28. Since the
cycle is now eight years, the next Housing Element will not be due until 2022.
A number of development projects reached, or got closer to, the “finish line” in January.
Temporary Certificates of Occupancy were granted for the Shell Gas Station Rebuild at Powell
Street and Frontage Road, and City Storage at 40th and Adeline Streets, and a final building
inspection was approved for the EmeryStation Greenway building at Powell and Hollis Streets.

CITY COUNCIL, PLANNING COMMISSION, AND COMMITTEES
CITY COUNCIL
January 20
Sherwin Williams Mixed Use Project. The Council held a study session on the proposed Sherwin
Williams Mixed Use Project. There were a number of speakers, mostly from 1500 Park Avenue
and the Artist Coop. Major concerns included: need for a shadow study and traffic study to be
done before preparation of the Environmental Impact Report; that the proposed density was
too high and the proposed methods of getting bonus points should be incorporated as part of
the project and not qualify for a bonus; that the central green was not wide enough to function
as open space; the need to move the proposed 46th Street to the north and to reduce the
height of the building on Parcel B-2 and set it back from Horton Street; and that the project was
primarily residential and not truly mixed use. Comments were made regarding the need for
affordable housing and ownership housing. The project was seen as an opportunity to
incorporate art by providing a place for changing art displays or creating “art passageways”. It
was suggested that a greater separation was needed between study sessions and the beginning
of the CEQA process. Council members expressed agreement with the public comments made
on density, affordable housing and bonus points. One Council member stated that it was
important to the get the project “right” and that the process should not be rushed. It was also
suggested that a portion of the units should be condominiums.
Emeryville Berkeley Oakland Transit Study (EBOTS). The City Council unanimously approved
the final report from this study for improving transit in Emeryville, West Berkeley and West
Oakland. The report describes and evaluates proposed short-term improvements including
shuttle service expansion, medium-term enhanced bus service from West Berkeley through
Emeryville to West Oakland BART and Jack London Square, and long-term streetcar lines
connecting MacArthur BART to central Emeryville (supplementing the Emery Go-Round) and
West Oakland.
Doyle Street Lofts. The City Council unanimously approved a conditional use permit, major
design review, and setback variance to demolish two existing residential units and replace them
with two new units at 5532 Doyle Street. This project was previously recommended for
approval by the Planning Commission on December 11, 2014.
Minimum Wage. The Council heard a report on minimum wage options and directed staff to
prepare an ordinance for a minimum wage tied to Emeryville’s “living wage”, which is a little
over $14 per hour. This would be higher than the minimum wages in Berkeley, Oakland, and
San Francisco, and is to take effect by July 1.
PLANNING COMMISSION
The Planning Commission considered the following items as its January 22 meeting:
General Plan Annual Progress Report. The Commission reviewed the annual progress report on
implementation of the General Plan, including the Housing Element, in Calendar Year 2014, and
January 2015
recommended City Council approval of the report for submittal to the Governor’s Office of
Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community
Development. As required by State law, this year’s report also included the annual Housing
Successor report regarding the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund.
3706 San Pablo Avenue Affordable Housing. The Commission unanimously approved a
Conditional Use Permit and Design Review for a proposed 87-unit affordable housing
development with 6,900 square feet of commercial space and 115 parking spaces in a six story
structure on a site of approximately 1.12 acres on the east side of San Pablo Avenue between
37th Street and West MacArthur Boulevard. The site is partially in Oakland, and the City of
Oakland has agreed that Emeryville may take the lead on all planning and building permits. The
Commission’s approval included design modifications and additional motorcycle parking.
Marketplace Redevelopment Project, “Parcels B and C”. The Commission held a study session to
review a proposed Final Development Plan (FDP) for realignment of Shellmound Street and
development of “Parcels B and C” of the Marketplace Redevelopment Project Planned Unit
Development (PUD04-12) that was approved by the City Council on August 5, 2008. A four story
parking structure accommodating 450 parking spaces and approximately 26,500 square feet of
ground floor commercial space is proposed on “Parcel B”. Proposed development on “Parcel C”
includes 35,500 square feet of ground floor grocery store, with three levels of structured parking
and a 5-story residential building accommodating about 75 units. Three residents spoke on this
item and one comment letter was received. Resident comments included the need for residential
units to be ownership and family friendly; that the east elevation of the garage building on Parcel
B needed more work; that loading on Shellmound Street for the grocery store on Parcel C was not
preferable; and that the plaza in front of the garage on Parcel B should be moved south so that it
fronted the Public Market instead of the office building. The Commission generally expressed
concern and commented that further design work was necessary for the garage building. There
was some agreement on the need to move the plaza south so that it faced the Public Market. The
Commission continued to express concern on the workability of the loading design for the grocery
store on Parcel C, acknowledging that some trade-offs would be necessary. The design of the
building received mixed comments. One Commission felt that it was necessary to see the
elevations of the grocery building without the residential units as they would not be built at the
same time. A concern was expressed regarding lack of family friendly units.
Marketplace Redevelopment Project, “Parcel A”. The Commission held a study session to review
a proposed Final Development Plan (FDP) for “Parcel A” (“Shellmound Site”) of the Marketplace
Redevelopment Project Planned Unit Development (PUD04-12) that was approved by the City
Council on August 5, 2008. The project would include approximately 185 rental apartment units,
15,000 square feet of retail space, and 240 parking spaces. The northern portion of the building
would be seven stories, reaching a height of 79 feet, and the southern portion would be four
stories at a height of 50 feet. The site is approximately 2.02 acres, north of the Hyatt House Hotel
and west of the Union Pacific railroad line. Two Terraces residents spoke including Cindy Truelove,
speaking on the behalf of the Terraces Homeowners Association. Both appreciated the applicant’s
response to their concerns and looked forward to finding suitable solutions for noise and glare
from a white roof. They also commented that the proposed “Public Market” sign facing the east
January 2015
was acceptable if aesthetically pleasing and noted that it would not block views from the Terraces.
The Commission reiterated their concern about the need for providing family friendly units. Two
Commissioners expressed a desire to straighten the pedestrian connection through the buildings.
The Commission did not express a concern about the proposed sign as long as it was designed
well. Adding bike troughs on the staircase was suggested as was providing different elevations of
the proposed courtyards. The Commission generally acknowledged the need for additional
refinement on all elevations. One Commissioner said that the landing of the stairs on Shellmound
Street should align with the crosswalk.
Marketplace Redevelopment Project, “Parcel D”. The Commission held a study session to
review a proposed Final Development Plan (FDP) for “Parcel D” (“Theater Site”) of the
Marketplace Redevelopment Project Planned Unit Development (PUD04-12) that was approved
by the City Council on August 5, 2008. The project would include approximately 234 rental
apartment units and 305 parking spaces in a seven story structure on a site of approximately
1.79 acres at the location of the former United Artists Theater southwest of the intersection of
64th and Shellmound Streets. A need for more family friendly and larger units was reiterated. It
was suggested that the building needed contrasting and/or accent colors. One Commissioner
liked the vertical elements and the architecture in general. One Commissioner wished to site
the townhomes on 64th Street with the garage entrance on Market Drive and elimination of
the cut-out on the south elevation, while other Commissioners expressed appreciation of the
proposed siting of the townhouses on 63rd Street and Market Drive, and of the cut-out. A
comment was made regarding elimination of internal access to the townhomes from the rear
so that residents would enter from the sidewalk. One Commissioner suggested that the
elevations should have continuity in design with the building under construction to the west.
BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE
At the January 5 BPAC meeting committee member Scott Donahue presented his idea to use
the flood control channel containing Temescal Creek that runs under the I-80 freeway as a
connecting path for the Bay Trail. BPAC members voted unanimously to ask staff to study the
feasibility of the proposal. The committee also reviewed proposed pedestrian and bicycle
access to and through the Marketplace PUD. Committee members favored street designs with
bike lanes painted green and expressed concern about proposed on-street car parking posing
potential door-zone conflicts for bicyclists. The BPAC also discussed potential treatments for
Greenway crossings at 65th, 66th, and 67th Streets. A study is planned to look at these
intersections; once complete, staff will return to the BPAC with results.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The committee’s January 7 meeting was devoted to prioritization of implementation actions for
the draft Economic Development Strategy and Work Plan for Fiscal Years 2014-15 and 2015-16.
The committee’s priorities included Emery Go-Round/EBOTS; fiber optics/broadband; marketing;
one-stop shop for development permitting and metrics for measuring performance; placemaking, including banners and business clusters; and charging for parking.
January 2015
PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE
At its January 8 meeting, the PAC heard the Selection Panel’s recommendation of R&R Studios’
“Electric Rainbow” as the final selection for the Shellmound Street-Powell Street Bridge Public
Art project, and voted to forward the recommendation to the City Council pending provision of
sample materials and a lighting study. The City Council will consider the recommendation in
March.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
At its January 21 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Committee discussed an Adeline Street
entrance and potential rest rooms for Temescal Creek Park, and agreed that Community
Services staff would survey the neighbors. The Public Works Director reported on the status of
Capital Improvement Program projects.
COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
At its January 28 meeting, the committee reviewed the status of properties on the key
properties list, and discussed the City Manager’s proposal to merge the committee with the
Public Works Committee.
HOUSING COMMITTEE
The Committee did not meet in January; its next regular meeting will be on February 4.
PARK AVENUE DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Committee did not meet in January; its next regular quarterly meeting will be on February 11.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE
The DCC met on January 14 with representatives from the Planning, Building, and Economic
Development and Housing divisions of the Community Development Department; the Public
Works, Community Services, Finance, and Police departments; the City Attorney’s Office; and
the City Manager. Three representatives from the City of Oakland Planning Department, who
are researching ways to improve their development coordination process, observed the
meeting. The following projects were discussed:
LePort Schools, 1450-1452 63rd Street. DCC members reviewed a proposal to convert the
former Every Dog Has Its Daycare facility to a private Montessori school for children ages 3
months to 6 years. The project would provide two fewer parking spaces than the minimum
requirement, which requires a conditional use permit from the Planning Commission. The
Building Division expressed concerns about exiting and other code issues. DCC members
recommended additional bicycle parking and a Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
plan as part of the conditions of approval to address the reduction of two parking spaces.
Marketplace Redevelopment Project, “Parcels B and C” - Grocery Store/Residential/Garage,
Retail/Garage, and Shellmound Street Realignment. The DCC recommended that the loading
for the grocery store on Parcel C occur on 63rd Street. It was noted that both the City Engineer
and Fehr and Peers, the City’s traffic consultant, have a preference for this option and consider
January 2015
it be more workable as compared to loading occurring off Shellmound Street. It was noted that
the applicant would need to provide stormwater plans and bicycle parking for the residential
units and grocery store patrons. A concern was expressed regarding the design of the parking
garage on Parcel B, particularly the elevation facing the railroad track. It was agreed that no
side of the building should be considered as the “back” and that it needed to interact with the
approved but as yet unbuilt EmeryStation West/Transit Center project across the railroad,
particularly as the existing pedestrian bridge over the railroad will connect with both
EmeryStation West and the future Marketplace residential building. The east façade of the
parking garage will thus be highly visible from both the EmeryStation West project and the
pedestrian bridge. At a minimum, DCC members felt that there should be design treatment to
ensure that parked cars are not visible from the public rights-of-way. It was noted that a Master
Sign Program would be needed for all the retail space, which is also a condition of the approval
of the original PUD/PDP.
Marketplace Parcel A – “Shellmound Site” Residential. DCC members appreciated the revised
location of the pedestrian bridge and the proposed landscaping elements. It was suggested that
good way-finding signage was necessary on both ends of the bridge walk to ensure that people
understood the connection and that it was open to the public. The proposed “Public Market”
sign was discussed and there was no consensus on whether the sign was appropriate for the
site. It was felt that the building design and massing needed articulation and better use of color
combination. It was noted that the plans needed to include information on how stormwater
would be treated. It was pointed out that roof treatment needs to be further refined and that a
non-reflective treatment was needed. Any public art component of the building should
coordinate with the public art proposal under the Powell Street Bridge that is currently being
implemented by the City.
Marketplace Parcel D – “Theater Site” Residential. Committee members appreciated the revised
siting of the townhomes along Market Drive and 63rd Street and the siting of project amenities
along Shellmound Street, with the parking garage entrance on 64th Street. A concern was
expressed regarding the choice of materials and colors. It was noted that the project needed to
ensure that bike parking was appropriately located for circulation purposes and that stormwater
treatment needed to be shown. Using public art creatively for activation of streets and blank walls
was suggested. A comment was made that the townhomes would not activate the street much
when they can be accessed internally from the garage. In order to remedy that, elimination of
internal corridors behind the townhomes was suggested so that residents would enter their
townhomes through the front door.
PLANNING DIVISION
CURRENT PLANNING PROJECTS
Major Projects Chart and Table. The attached bar chart illustrates the progress of each major
development project through the Planning and Building “pipeline”, while the attached Major
Projects table contains more detail on each project. Those projects that saw significant staff
activity in January are discussed below.
January 2015
Sherwin Williams Mixed Use Project. As noted above, the City Council held a study session
on the project on January 20. Subsequently, staff held debriefing meetings, internally on
January 21 and with the applicant on January 26. Staff also conducted a site visit on January
21 with the EIR consultants and held a follow-up phone call on January 26. A scoping session
for project EIR was held on January 27 at which a number of community members spoke,
several of whom said they were developing project alternatives that they would like to be
included in the EIR. At the request of community, the comment period for the EIR Notice of
Preparation was subsequently extended to February 27.
Marketplace Redevelopment Project. On January 8, staff had meetings with design consultant
Arnold Mammarella and the project applicants to provide comment on the design of the two
residential buildings on Parcels A and D. A follow-up meeting is scheduled for February 19. As
noted above, on January 14 the Development Coordinating Committee reviewed the various
buildings that comprise the Marketplace project, and the Planning Commission held study
sessions on them on January 22. A follow-up meeting was held with the applicants on January
29 to discuss the grocery store/residential building on Parcel C and the residential building on
Parcel D.
Anton Emeryville, 6701 Shellmound Project (“Nady Site”). On November 7, staff received an
application for this 211-unit residential project from Anton Development Company based in
Sacramento. Anton is taking over the project from Avalon Bay, who previously withdrew their
application. The plans are identical and the architect is the same. A study of the project’s
effects on the broadcast capabilities of the adjacent radio antennas was prepared and reviewed
by staff. The previously prepared Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was published for
recirculation on January 20 with the review period ending on February 18; the project is
tentatively scheduled for Planning Commission consideration on March 26.
Parc on Powell (formerly “Parkside”) Residential Project. Staff signed off on a Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy for Building B.
Shell Gas Station Rebuild. Staff created a Bay Trail map sign for installation in the new plaza at
the corner of Powell Street and Frontage Road as a condition of approval for the gas station
rebuild. The map was sent to ABAG Bay Trail staff for review and approval.
5801 Christie Avenue. On January 27, staff met with a real estate consultant and architect who are
interested in developing this large site adjacent to the freeway, near the corner of Powell Street
and Christie Avenue. The site, formerly known as the “Gateway” site, was previously owned by BRE
and has since been acquired by Essex Property Trust as part of their takeover of BRE last April.
Essex reportedly is not interested in developing this property and is planning to sell it. Staff has
received numerous inquiries about this property.
East BayBridge Shopping Center Façade Improvements. On January 28, staff met with the
applicants for this project to upgrade one of the buildings at the shopping center to
accommodate new tenants Nordstrom Rack and Ulta Beauty, which was approved by the
Planning Commission on July 24, 2014. They expressed concerns about the cost of landscaping
and a trash enclosure for the project, and asked about eliminating some trees and making the
January 2015
trash enclosure smaller. They were advised that the proposed modifications would need to go
back to the Commission for approval.
Banker-Marks Site on Park Avenue. On January 27, staff had a discussion with a potential
developer of the warehouse building bounded by Park Avenue, Horton Street, Sherwin Avenue,
and Horton Street. Staff provided the developer with a 2004 sketch plan of an arts center, park,
retail, and housing on the site, and pointed out relevant sections of the General Plan, Planning
Regulations, Park Avenue District Plan, and Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan.

January 2015
Cost Recovery. Most major planning applications are funded through a “cost recovery” system,
whereby applicants make an initial deposit and staff bills time and expenses against the project.
This requires meticulous record-keeping to ensure that balances remain positive in each cost
recovery account, and that accounts are properly closed out upon project completion. Planning
staff met internally on January 21 to review the list of projects and collection procedures.
Invoices are being prepared as appropriate.
Permit Tracking System and GIS. CRW TRAKiT, the Planning and Building Department’s permit
tracking software, has now been live for over four years, since September 2, 2010, and the

software to track permits and code violations as they travel through the application,
construction, and abatement processes. Staff met on January 8 to compare notes and ensure a
smooth implementation of the system, and to convey any necessary modifications to the IT
Manager.

Two new single family homes on site
of existing house. Demolition of
existing house required City Council
approval of project following Planning
Commission recommendation.
On March 22, 2007, Commission deadlocked 3-3 on project,
with one recusal, so application went to Council without a
Commission recommendation. On April 17, 2007, Council
approved project 4-0 with one recusal. Council approved oneyear extension request on January 20, 2009. Council considered
second extension request on April 20, 2010 and directed that
ordinance be modified to allow demolition of existing house
prior to issuance of building permit for replacement structure.
Revised ordinance was passed on September 21, 2010 and took
effect October 21, 2010. Planning Commission considered
extension request, and new finding allowing demolition of
existing house, on December 9, 2010, and voted to recommend
denial to City Council. City Council held public hearing on
January 18, 2011 and continued it to February 1, 2011, at which
time they voted to approve extension to April 17, 2011, but not
to allow demolition of existing house until building permit for
replacement structure is ready to issue. Resolution to this effect
was passed February 1, 2011. Building permit applications
submitted on January 18, 2011; extended to July 18, 2012 by
Chief Building Official on November 21, 2011. Permit
applications were approved and ready to issue but expired on
July 18, 2012. Tree removal permit for street tree approved by
Planning Commission on September 27, 2012. On March 13,
2014, City received letter from Alameda County District
Attorney saying that applicant was the victim of a crime by
which the property was fraudulently “sold” a number of times
beginning on March 8, 2011 when a deed with a forged
signature was recorded with the Alameda County Recorder. DA
requested City to “place the property rights back into position
held as of March 8, 2011.” Thus, planning and building permits
are still considered valid, building permit is being processed and
is expected to be issued soon.

Re:
Progress Report
FIELD SERVICES DIVISION
For the month of February, the Department was involved in an officer involved shooting
incident on February 3. At around 12:35 pm, Home Depot reported a combative female
who was shoplifting knives and had pointed a handgun at several employees. The female
ran out of the store, she ran to 34th and Hollis and tried to carjack several vehicles. Two
uniformed officers arrived on scene and gave her commands to stop, the female pointed
the gun at an officer and both officers discharged their weapons striking the suspect.
Sergeant Hannon was the Watch Commander and did a good job in preserving the crime
scene because two of his three officers working patrol were involved in the shooting.
Sergeant Hannon was able to call out personnel from the Building to assist.
Because the shooting occurred in Oakland, Oakland Police is responsible for conducting
the criminal investigation along with the District Attorney Investigative Team.
Emeryville Police is responsible for the administrative investigation. After being
interviewed by both Oakland Police and the District Attorney, both officers were placed
on administrative leave.
Later that night, a memorial was held for the female and approximately 100 attended.
They marched to Home Depot and vandalize the property and graffiti the area. They also
protested at Pak n Save and then left.
On February 10, about 35 protestors from the Anti-Police Terrorism Group marched to
Home Depot and Sports Authority and served a demand letter to those asking for the
release of information regarding the shooting. They also drove to the Police Building and
served a demand letter.
On February 18, the Police Department was made aware through social media of two
possible protests that was to occur on February 21. The first protest/march, "March for
Yuvette" rally was posted on several social media sites and participants were to meet at
the Police Department. The second organized event was posted on the Occupy Oakland
site, "Picket Oaks Corner with Unite Here."
The Department planned for both protests and all available personnel were assigned to
work that day in 12 to 14 hour shifts. Police personnel notified the affected businesses;
Home Depot, Sports Authority and the Oaks Card Room and they stated they will remain
open.
On February 21 at 10:00 am, 80 protestors showed up with banners to rally in front of the
Police Department. At 11:00, the protestors marched toward Home Depot and police
personnel along with CHP helped to facilitate the marchers by providing traffic control.
The 80 protestors met up with another 40 protestors, who had brought a makeshift 35 foot
water tower and used crime scene tape to cordon off the area. Four protestors created a
human chain across a Home Depot entrance. The protestors stated they were staying for
5 hours. Home Depot closed for business. There were several heated verbal
confrontations between customers and protestors which were quickly handled by the
Police Department. At around 3:00 pm, a decision was made to ask for assistance from
Berkeley and Oakland Police to help monitor the Home Depot protestors in order for
some of the Emeryville officers to be released to prepare for the picketing at Oaks Card
Room.
At 4:30 pm, the Police Department monitored the picketing at the Oaks Card Room.
There were approximately 70 participants picketing the Oaks in regards to labor disputes.
The rally at Home Depot ended at 5:00 pm, and the picketing ended at 6:20 pm.
Emeryville police personnel reports there were no major incidents in handling both of
these protests.
TEAM ONE
Team One has completed 80 reports, 49 arrests, wrote 79 moving violations, issued 21
parking citations, 14 field contact cards, conducted 374 security checks in business
centers, 55walking security checks in neighborhoods, 146 traffic enforcement stops, 52
pedestrian stops for various code violations and 39 suspicious vehicle stops.
On February 22, Officer Rojas was dispatched to a vehicle stuck on the railroad tracks
just south of 65th Street. When Officer Rojas arrived he saw the driver sitting in the
driver seat. The driver saw Rojas approaching his vehicle and got out to greet him.
Officer Rojas asked how he’d gotten stuck on the railroad tracks and he replied, “I’m not
associated with that vehicle.” Officer Rojas suspected the driver was not telling the truth
asked the obviously intoxicated man to walk to the sidewalk where he could do Field
Sobriety Tests.
In the interim, Berry Brothers Tow arrived to remove the vehicle from the tracks. Officer
Rojas asked the driver if he had the keys to the vehicle so the tow driver could remove
the vehicle and the driver reached into his pocket and handed him the keys. The driver
was arrested for DUI.
On February 22, Officer Salaiz was driving his marked patrol and stopped for the red
light on 40th at San Pablo Ave when he saw a man cross San Pablo Avenue in the middle
of the intersection. Officer Salaiz stopped the man and asked him for identification. The
man told Officer Salaiz he didn’t have identification and told Officer Salaiz his name.
Officer Salaiz checked the databases to verify the man’s identity and the name the man
gave Officer Salaiz, provided a photo that did not match the man. The man gave a
second name which provided the same results. The man was arrested for giving false
information to a Peace Officer. Once at North County Jail the man was identified and it
turned out he was a wanted felon.
TEAM TWO
Team Two conducted 174 security checks of businesses, 53 in the residential areas, made
1 contact on suspicious individuals, completed 9 Field Interview cards, made 17 car stops
for varies vehicle code violations, cited 9 individuals, made 1 suspicious vehicle contact,
wrote 1 parking citation, made 11 arrests, and wrote 71 reports.
Officer Johnson responded to PST Calvin’s broadcast that he was witnessing a burglary
suspect being chased by two male subjects. The suspect was dropping items as he ran
east of Powell Street from Hollis Street. PST Jamie Lee then advised that a female
wearing a gray jacket and multi-colored leggings, who appeared to be associated with the
suspect and was fleeing southbound on Hollis Street then eastbound on Stanford Avenue
Officer Johnson heard Officer Salaiz say that he had the male suspect, stopped at
Stanford Avenue Park near Vallejo Street. Officer Salaiz and other second watch units
detained the male without incident. The male suspect was positively identified as the
suspect by witnesses.
Sergeant Allen then advised that he had the female suspect, stopped at 1335 Stanford
Avenue. Officer Johnson responded and placed female suspect in the rear of his patrol
car. The female suspect was also positively identified as a suspect by witnesses. As
Officer Johnson placed handcuffs on the female suspect outside of his patrol car, she
started crying and repeating, "I didn't do anything." She then said, "I didn't know he was
gonna do anything, I was just sitting there."
The female suspect acted as a lookout for the male suspect who entered a business and
selected audio equipment out of an unoccupied office and took it without permission. The
male and female then fled the scene. One of the witnesses gave chase and caught up to
the male suspect, who told the witness he would shoot him. The witness then back away
until police arrived. The female was arrested for Conspiracy to commit crime, and
Burglary. The male suspect was arrest for Burglary and Robbery.

52 parking citations, made 26 arrests, wrote 149 reports, and completed 11 field contacts
on suspicious persons.
On January 21, officers were dispatched to Marshall’s on the report of a group of women
selecting and concealing merchandise. It was suspected by Loss Prevention that the
women were going to steal the items being concealed. Upon the officers’ arrival, they
located the subjects inside the store and made contact with them. The officers informed
the subjects of Loss Prevention’s suspicions and recommended the subjects to pay for the
concealed items or place them back. The subjects elected to pay for the items. Since the
officers responded quickly and thwarted the theft, the subjects would have had the
opportunity to leave with the unpaid items.
On January 31, Officer White responded to the police building and met with a subject
who wanted to report locating his stolen bicycle on Craig’s List for sale. Officer White
met with the subject and learned the victim had set up a meeting with the suspect in the
East Bay Bridge parking lot. Officer White facilitated the meet-up with other officers
and the victim. The suspect arrived at the parking lot believing he was going to sell the
bicycle. Officer White made contact with the suspect who was in possession of the stolen
bicycle. The bicycle was recovered by officer pending the victim obtaining the original
report of the theft from San Francisco Police Department. The suspect was identified and
admonished at the request of the victim. The victim did not want to pursue criminal
charges against the suspect.
On February 19, Dispatch was contacted by Oakland Police who requested our assistance
with detaining a possible stolen vehicle suspect who entered Bay Street in a stolen
vehicle. Sergeant Cassianos along with other officers responded and located the subject.
Sergeant Cassianos detained the subject and subsequently turned the subject over to
Oakland Police who confirmed the vehicle he was driving was stolen for a local area
dealership.
During this reporting period, the officers obtained the name of a senior citizen who is
homeless and comes into frequent contact with them. The subject’s information was
forwarded to the City Of Emeryville’s Housing coordinator, in hopes that the subject can
get her needs met and potentially get off the streets.

citations, wrote 7 field contact cards, conducted 117 security checks in business centers,

rash of car break-ins occurred. Officer Giddings with the assistance of Officers Ingles, M.
Shepherd and Sergeant Alton ultimately arrested two suspects for auto burglary and
possession of stolen property. A lady who had her broken car into had all her property
returned to her. She was very appreciative and thankful.
TRAFFIC
Traffic conducted 26 security checks of numerous locations, issued 184 parking citations,
towed or impounded 2 vehicles and completed 6 written reports.
On January 23 and January 24, Police Service Technicians Calvin and Moore and
Sergeant Hannon provided traffic control services to mitigate traffic congestion and
traffic flow problems resulting from the Restoration Hardware Outlet sales that took
place between 0900 and 1800 hours in the 4000 block of Horton Street.
PST Moore facilitated taxi cab inspections at the Amtrak Station during the week of
February 9, to accommodate those taxi drivers who wished to take advantage of an
opportunity to expedite their Taxi Cab permit application process. Those taxi drivers
who did not take advantage of that service will have to make an appointment to complete
the inspection phase of the application process. Taxi Cabs operated in violation of
Emeryville Municipal Code will be cited for not having a taxi cab permit and for not
having a taxi driver’s permit, if applicable. PST Moore, assisted by Traffic Section PSTs

Operations and Facilities Highlights:
‐
Bike Rack Installation: Staff installed bike racks on site at both
Michael’s store on Hollis Street and the CVS Pharmacy store on San
Pablo Avenue. The bike racks were installed near the front doors of the
businesses to encourage the public to use bicycles instead of vehicles
when patronizing the stores.
‐
Capital Improvement Project Support: Staff has been coordinating the
Fire Station 34 Rehabilitation Project which has required significant time.
Staff is also working with the design team for the Senior Center
Rehabilitation Project which will begin construction in May or June of this
year. Staff also continues to work with several contractors on site at the
Corp Yard for design and configuration analysis.
‐
Storm Drainage System Management: Drain inlet cleaning continues on
an as needed basis. Leaves, litter, and other debris tend to collect at
storm drain inlets and needs to be cleared periodically ahead of rain
events to prevent polluting local water ways. All storm drain catch basins
are cleaned annually, but some need to be serviced more frequently. The
seasonal flood relief pump on Powell Street is serviced weekly in order to
be reliable during wet weather events
‐
Pot Hole Filling Citywide: Staff was proactive in doing a mass pothole
filling Citywide. Wet weather has a tendency to undermine asphalt which
leads to surface defects and failure (potholes). Staff filled over 50 potholes
of various sizes throughout the City during January.
‐
Sand Bags: Staff continues to prepare and make available sand bags for
residents to pick up at the Maintenance Center on Christie as well as Fire
Station 35 on Hollis. Crews have filled 15 cubic yards this rainy season.
‐
Tree Trimming and Removal: Staff has been trimming trees on a
localized basis in order to raise and mitigate sidewalk issues. A contractor
is also used to trim those trees that are too large or pose a danger for City
staff, such as those near power lines. Staff has been identifying and
servicing streets/blocks that are in the most need of trimming. Several
trees were removed that were damaged during the recent severe storms.
Tree removals are part of urban forestry. Tree were removed on Salem,
Stanford, 61st, Sherwin, and Marina Park.
‐
Normal maintenance responsibilities were handled during the month.
