ALAMEDA — City officials project that up to 1,843 housing units will be built in Alameda through 2023 if the current market conditions continue, a number that would put the city in compliance with state law to meet its anticipated housing needs.

The projection, which includes the construction of housing that began last year, is included in the annual report on the Housing Element in the city’s General Plan, which the Planning Board on Monday will consider recommending to the City Council.

Revisions to the Housing Element must take place every eight years under state law, which also requires that the city provide an annual report on the progress toward meeting housing needs.

Most of the new housing — some 800 multifamily units — is projected for Alameda Point. At Alameda Landing, 285 units are being built and 380 at the historic Del Monte warehouse on Buena Vista Avenue. The remaining big chunk is projected for the “Boatworks,” development, an approximately 9-acre property at Oak Street and Clement Avenue where the Planning Board approved 182 units in August.

The overall number also includes 25 multifamily units for seniors at Cardinal Point, the 89 units at Marina Shores and housing projects planned for Eagle Avenue, Webster Street and Clement Avenue.

“Although the city is making progress to address housing needs, the city’s regulatory framework governing housing development can continue to be improved to facilitate high-quality, diverse housing for the Alameda community,” said Andrew Thomas, the city’s assistant community development director.

Among the steps that Thomas is urging city officials take to meet future housing needs is to fast-track the review of projects that include affordable housing, and to complete a “universal design ordinance,” which will provide layout guides and other requirements for new housing so that it can better serve families that may include seniors or those with disabilities.

The idea behind universal design is also to allow people to “age in place,” such as having a ground-floor room in a house that can be converted into a bedroom for someone with mobility issues, or into an in-law unit.

Under the Housing Element, which is part of a city’s General Plan, local governments must show how they plan to meet existing and projected housing needs, including for those who will need affordable housing. The General Plan covers overall growth and redevelopment, breaks down neighborhood zoning and helps lay out goals for a city’s future.

The City Council in Alameda adopted its Housing Element for 2015-2023 in July 2014.
