Board of Supervisors Chamber – 5th Floor
County Administration Building
1221 Oak Street
Oakland
Regular Meeting starts at 9:30 a.m.
Planning Meeting starts at 1:00 p.m.

There are quite a few items on the Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting agenda; however, it is the 1:00 p.m. Planning Meeting where two specific items concerning Castro Valley will be discussed: 1) The Castro Valley Specific Plan, 2) Canyonlands garbage and recycling service.

Castro Valley Downtown Specific Plan

As we noted on the Castro Valley Matters Facebook page last week, the Community Development Agency (CDA) will update the Supervisors on the status of its major planning initiatives, specifically, which general and specific plans it plans to tackle in the next few years.   Castro Valley’s Downtown Specific  Plan, last revised in 1993, is on the bottom of CDA’s priority list.

• See our previous post about the Specific Plan, which celebrates its 22nd birthday on Wednesday.

Canyonlands

Last month’s Transportation/Planning Committee Meeting considered the annexation of the Canyonlands into the Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSan)(see Transportation/Planning Committee Meeting agenda).  In its memo to the the Transportation/Planning Committee, CDA “staff has concluded that annexation of the Canyonlands to CVSan would be the most beneficial for residents of the area.”

For Tuesday’s meeting, the CDA has recommended that the Supervisors “[a]dopt resolution requesting the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) to initiate proceedings for amendment of the Castro Valley Sanitary District’s (CVSan) Sphere Of lnfluence to include the Castro Valley Canyonlands and annexation of same territory to CVSan for the purposes of the provision of refuse collection and recycling services.”
