South Bayfront (Bay Street) Site B Development
The Planning Department is currently processing an application for a mixed
use development of retail, residential, and hotel uses that will be an extension
and endcap at the north end the existing Bay Street Emeryville development.
Madison Marquette, the project applicant has developed two alternative development
options for Site B, both of which include a mix of retail, residential, and
hotel uses, but that differ in primary retail type and site configuration. Please
see Notice of Preperation (NOP) for a complete project description.

Preparation of the EIR is currently underway.
Papermill Building Mixed Use Project
The Planning Department is currently processing an application for a mixed
use development that would result in the demolition of the two existing structures
and development of two new four-story buildings. The two new four-story buildings
would contain 187,224 square feet of residential space, 4,245 square feet of
live/work space, 3,446 square feet of flex-space, and 10,516 square feet of
retail/restaurant space. The project would also include a park, plaza, and two
courtyards.
Status
The Initial Study prepared by the City was undertaken for the purpose of deciding
whether the project may have a significant effect on the environment. On the
basis of the Initial Study, City staff has concluded that the project will not
have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, has prepared a
Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration
