02Deal summary

The rationale

A ~1.2M GSF Waterfront Specific Plan EIR scoped at maximum buildout sets the entitlement ceiling for the entire district — developers and site selectors need to track this process now to position for future project approvals within the plan area.

Berkeley City Council authorized the City Manager to initiate CEQA environmental review and prepare a Program EIR for the Waterfront Specific Plan, using Scenario 1 (Highest Buildout, ~1,215,000 gross sq ft) as the maximum development alternative.
