WHAT'S HAPPENING

The Berkeley Marina Area Specific Plan (BMASP) Project is a three plus year planning project to provide a path for achieving a financially self-sustainable, publicly owned marina that preserves and enhances infrastructure to support current and future community needs, while adapting to climate change and promoting environmental stewardship. The public process for this project will involve a series of small focus group meetings, large community meetings, and City Council discussions. The BMASP is anticipated to be completed in 2024, including an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

What's next

On Tuesday, March 7, 2023 at 6:00pm, staff will provide a project update at a special meeting of the City Council.

Before the council meeting, we will continue to host small focus groups. In February 2023, these will focus on priorities for Cesar Chavez Park. Please note that no development is being considered at Cesar Chavez Park in the Specific Plan process.

Focus groups will be 75-minute work sessions to collect public input on priorities for Cesar Chavez Park. Individuals who expressed interest in attending a focus group will receive an invitation to sign up for a focus group in the last week of January. If you have not yet expressed interest, or if you have not received an email invitation to sign up by January 31, 2023, please send an email to bmasp@cityofberkeley.info with subject line titled “Focus Group Request.” We will include as many people as possible.

If you are not able to attend a focus group, comments are always welcome via email at bmasp@cityofberkeley.info.
