Viewcrest Townhouses Project

The proposed project would develop 2.5 acres of the 20-acre project site. The proposed project is a Planned Unit Development and would substantially grade the 2.5-acre area for 19 residential townhouses and associated utilities and one access roadway meeting the City’s street standards. The townhouses would be built into the hillside and range from three to four levels with various designs. Access to the townhouses would occur via a new on-site roadway with a cul-de-sac accessed from Campus Drive. The remaining 17.5 acres would remain as open space to be potentially maintained by the future Homeowner’s Association or an alternative mitigation entity, depending on the results of the EIR. There are currently no proposed improvements to the open space. Case File number PLN18407-ER01

Viewcrest Townhouses Project Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) (PDF)

This document is the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Viewcrest Townhouses Project. Following approval by the City, the proposed project would develop approximately 2.6 acres of the 20-acre parcel into a cluster of ten detached single-family homes, with associated landscaping and new residential street. The new residential street would be a cul-de-sac accessed from Campus Drive between the existing residential streets of Viewcrest Drive and Rockingham Court. The remaining approximately 17.4 acres would be provided and maintained in perpetuity by the property owner and/or their successor entity, as conservation open space. Site preparation and construction of the proposed project include construction staging, tree removal, grading, erosion and sedimentation control, and construction of the proposed infrastructure, residential units, and landscaping on the 2.6-acre area of development.

The City of Oakland (City) Planning and Building Department, Bureau of Planning, is preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Viewcrest Townhouses project (proposed project) as identified below and is requesting comments on the scope and content of the EIR. The EIR will address the potential physical, environmental effects for each of the environmental topics outlined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
