Please join us in person for a presentation by City of Berkeley staff on the status and outlook for an update of the Berkeley Waterfront Specific Plan (this effort incorporates the Marina Plan).

The four-year planning project began in late 2020/early 2021 and will eventually provide a path for achieving a financially self-sustainable, publicly owned marina that preserves and enhances infrastructure to support current and future community needs, while adapting to climate change and promoting environmental stewardship.   Note that no development is being considered at Cesar Chavez Park in the Specific Plan process.  The public process for this project will involve a series of small focus group meetings, large community meetings, and City Council discussions. The Waterfront Specific Plan is anticipated to be completed in 2024, including an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).  On March 20, 2023, the City Council heard a presentation on the status of the plan. 

This is a joint project by Parks, Recreation and Waterfront Department, the Planning Department and the City Attorney's office.

Location: AIA East Bay Conference Room, Brower Center, 2150 Allston Way #310, Berkeley, CA 94709.
