The Strategic Plan for the City of Alameda outlines a shared vision, key priorities, and specific projects for the fiscal year 2026-2027. It focuses on enhancing community safety and services, building resilience to climate change and water level rise, investing in transportation, infrastructure, economic opportunities, and historic resources, housing all Alamedans and ending homelessness, and practicing fiscally responsible, equitable, and inclusive governance. The plan aims to guide the city's future development and achieve its long-term goals.

The City of Alameda's Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) serves as a roadmap for the effective management, operation, and maintenance of its sanitary sewer system. The plan is designed to reduce and prevent spills, contain and mitigate those that occur, maintain infrastructure condition, and control infiltration/inflow. Key components include organizational structure, legal authority, a comprehensive operations and maintenance program, design and construction standards, a spill emergency response plan, a sewer pipe blockage control program, system evaluation and capacity assurance, monitoring and reporting, internal audits, and communication protocols.

The Planning Board considered a development plan application for the Rosefield Village project located at 727 Buena Vista Avenue. Key discussion topics included the approval of a development plan to construct between 60 and 80 new affordable, multi-family, rental residential units, along with associated internal drive aisles, parking, and landscaping. The board evaluated the project's consistency with the General Plan, its potential impact on adjacent properties, compatibility with surrounding land uses, and the adequacy of transportation and service facilities. Additionally, conditions of approval were established regarding design review, transportation demand management measures, and public works requirements.

This Zero Waste Implementation Plan for the City of Alameda outlines strategies to advance its zero waste goals and achieve a sustainable, safe urban environment. The plan's vision is built upon three core pillars: developing high-impact solutions through deep community engagement, ensuring equitable distribution of benefits across the community, and focusing on targeted programs for reuse and behavior change. It aims to strengthen existing zero-waste efforts, deepen community participation, and specifically engage underserved groups such as small businesses, the unhoused, low-income residents, multi-family dwelling residents, and small construction projects. Key strategies include promoting upstream solutions, emphasizing reuse, and driving lasting behavior change through tailored programs.

The Planning Board addressed several key resolutions and permits. They declared compliance for a development agreement concerning the RESHAP project and recommended street name changes at Alameda Point, specifically to honor Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES). Additionally, the board approved a use permit for extended operating hours and expanded sales at an existing gas station on Central Avenue. Furthermore, they approved the construction of an aquatic center at Jean Sweeney Open Space Park, including discussions on design, environmental impact, and transportation management.
