"The area being discussed is Harbor Bay Landing in Alameda, home to a Safeway with a pharmacy, and other businesses that provide for those nearby. The proposed plan would involve demolishing everything on the property and building 305 housing units for sale and rent, along with 575 parking spaces. A preliminary SB 330 application, or affordable housing application, was submitted by a developer who wants to buy the shopping center."
"They say they have met with Safeway officials to show support in retaining the only grocery store on Bay Farm Island. A city representative tells ABC 7 News that they believe Safeway has a few more years left on its lease. They've also met with the developer, who expressed "openness to retaining a grocery store consistent with the City's vision for the site." Since it is private land, no city action will happen until a formal development application is submitted by the property owners,"
A developer submitted a preliminary SB 330 application proposing demolition of Harbor Bay Landing to build 305 housing units with 575 parking spaces. Harbor Bay Landing includes a Safeway with a pharmacy and other neighborhood businesses. City officials say the proposal does not meet zoning and mixed-use requirements that require a grocery store and retail on the site. City staff have met with Safeway and the developer; the developer expressed openness to retaining a grocery store consistent with the city's vision. A city representative said Safeway likely has a few more years on its lease. No city action will occur until a formal application is submitted; a public meeting is scheduled at the Harbor Bay Community Center.
