The
Judgment requires a minimum of 670 residential units to be included in
the land use vision. Senior housing is being explored as one of the
residential
uses for the site within the land use vision.
You can now provide your input on Concept Alternatives from Workshop #3 which include intergenerational housing as a point of discussion.
Thank you for the suggestion. We will share this information.
On July 20, 2018, the City issued a Request for Qualifications from Master Developers to serve as master developer in a public/private partnership with the City for development of approximately 271 acres of the Point Molate property. As part of the RFQ, the City is requesting that respondents provide information regarding their previous project and outreach experience, financial qualifications, and project understanding and approach. Responses to the RFQ are due on September 14, 2018.
The exact zoning procedures will depend on the outcome of the land use visioning and the Master Developer selection process. This is because zoning procedures are reflective of the project proposed. However, staff anticipates, that the selected Master Developer will need to apply for a General Plan Amendment to modify some of the General Plan land use classifications, Rezoning to a Planned Area District, and a Tentative subdivision map. In addition, specific development components will also have to undergo appropriate Design Review and historic preservation review.
Determining the location of the housing and the necessary infrastructure to serve the development are some of the key purposes of this land use visioning. We are seeking input on where the community would like to see the housing located, the types of housing desired, and the density. Widening Stenmark Drive to address sight distances, to add sidewalks, and possibly adding bike lanes will be necessary for any development at Point Molate. Whether or not the road will have to be widened to be more than one lane in each direction may not be known until the intensity of development is determined and a traffic analysis completed. The City is exploring various funding options, including Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) and Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs), and grants, for the backbone infrastructure.
All Richmond residents are welcomed to participate in the visioning. All perspectives are welcomed; however, to meet the requirements of the Judgment, the final land use plan will need to accommodate a minimum of 670 residential units, preserve 70% of the land as open space, and preserve the historic buildings for adaptive reuse.
The judgment requires that 30% of the land must be designated as Development Areas. However, those development areas may include a variety of uses in addition to residential and commercial uses, such as community gardens and other community amenities.

Thank you for the suggestion.
City of Richmond
The Judgment requires the City to approve a project with a minimum of 670 residential units. All the land uses suggested in your comment could certainly be part of the community visioning document that results from this community engagement process. The city and consultants will evaluate access to the site. Thank you for your inquiry and ongoing participation!
