Figure 1.1: LOCAL CONTEXT OF THE PLANNING AREA
The Lake Merritt Station Area Plan, a Specific Plan for the area around the Lake Merritt BART Station in Downtown Oakland, was adopted in December 2014. The Plan envisions a high-intensity neighborhood around a rejuvenated Lake Merritt BART station. It seeks to reinforce and integrate the cultural and recreational resources that make the area around the transit station unique. The Plan identifies ways in which streets, open spaces, and other infrastructure in the area can be enhanced, and establishes regulations for development projects that further the area’s vibrancy.
The approximately 315-acre Plan Area is generally bound by 14th Street to the north, I-880 to the south, Broadway to the west, and 5th Avenue to the east. The Lake Merritt Station Planning Area encompasses a diverse community of residents, students, employees, and commercial business owners in the heart of Downtown Oakland, including Chinatown, Laney College, the Oakland Museum of California, and Alameda County Courthouse and offices.
Goal 1: Create an active, vibrant and safe district
Goal 2: Encourage services and retail
Goal 3: Encourage equitable, sustainable and healthy development
Goal 4: Encourage non-automobile transportation
Goal 5: Increase and diversify housing
Goal 6: Encourage job creation and access
Goal 7: Provide services and retail options
Goal 8: Identify additional open space and recreation opportunities
Goal 9: Celebrate and enhance Chinatown as an asset and a destination
Goal 10: Maximize opportunities for preservation and re-use of historic buildings
Goal 11: Model progressive innovations (i.e., economic, environmental, social)
PLAN GOALS
PROJECT AREA
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
Lake Merritt Station Area Plan
Public participation was an important element at each point of the Station Area planning process, and was organized in close partnership with community stakeholders to ensure participation by both traditionally well-organized groups such as local business associations, community based organizations and developers, as well as traditionally underrepresented lower-income, renter, and non-English speaking communities.

Circulation and streetscape improvements are fundamental to the Plan’s strategy to support commercial revitalization and transit-oriented infill development in the area.

CIRCULATION & STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Illustration view of potential new development (in orange) by 2035. These are conceptual massings (not actual design) that illustrate where development is most likely to occur.
Improvements to parks and open space at Lake Merrittt
Enhanced pedestrian space under I-880 crossings
Street improvements can apply a design that celebrates the culture and history of the area
To implement the vision, Plan adoption was accompanied by Planning Code and General Plan Amendments, new Design Guidelines, and new Zoning and Height Area Maps.
• A major improvement to bicycle and pedestrian access is already underway with the Measure DD improvements around Lake Merritt and the Lake Merritt Channel.
• Improve crossings under I-880, which connect Chinatown, Laney, and the BART Station to the Jack London District and waterfront, with pedestrian-oriented lighting, ornamental screen walls and/or other art elements.
• Safer streets through traffic calming, improved lighting, improved signage and distinctive design elements.
