The Department of City Planning (DCP) proposes to complete the re-zoning of North Oakland as recommended by the Land Use Plan of the 2022 Oakland Plan. The area in question is currently a mixture of multi-family residential, urban industrial, and Oakland Public Realm districts. DCP proposes to simplify the map by making most of this area urban center – mixed use (UC-MU) and designating a smaller area to be urban center – employment (UC-E) for commercial uses.
The Land Use Plan of the 2022 Oakland Plan identified three areas of North Oakland for rezoning. Below, you can find the proposed zoning for each section. These slides are taken from the City’s Land Use Strategy Plan.
