Lawsuit Over Former Naval Property Settled

ALAMEDA, CA-Two advocacy groups that filed lawsuits last year against the city over environmental and housing issues at the former Alameda Fleet Industrial Supply Center have settled out of court.

ALAMEDA, CA-A settlement agreement has been reached between the Alameda and two local advocacy groups with regard to the 215-acre Alameda Fleet Industrial Supply Center on the city’s waterfront. The agreement means San Francisco-based Catellus Development Corp., which was not part of the lawsuit, can go ahead with phase one of its plans for the former Naval Air Station property.

Redevelopment of the property, which is located directly across the bay from San Francisco, call for the development of approximately 1.3 million sf of commercial space, up to 599 residential units, neighborhood parks, a waterfront public promenade and a school site.

In a lawsuit filed last year, Renewed Hope Housing Advocates and Arc Ecology charged that the city had failed to meet the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act by using an inaccurate base line date for studying the project’s impacts. The groups claimed the city selected random dates to suit its purposes in depicting impacts relating to housing, traffic and law enforcement.
