Department of Transportation's Strategic Plan – June 2022 Update

In October 2016, the City of Oakland’s first-ever Department of Transportation, released an ambitious Strategic Plan emphasizing managing streets and sidewalks with the values of equity, safety, sustainability and trust. We have reported out periodically on our progress implementing those strategies and priorities, most recently with the publication of our Five-Year Accomplishments Report in June 2022.

Design Guidelines

The City of Oakland has established Design Guidelines for different project types and specific areas in order to 1.) create stable, attractive, and safe neighborhoods; 2.) maintain property values; 3.) provide attractive and highly livable housing that meets the needs of all Oakland residents; and 4.) safeguard the City's architectural heritage.

Deterring Vehicle-Based Robberies

Business owners seeking to utilize the City of Oakland right-of-way to deter vehicle-based robberies that involve deliberately crashing into storefronts may pursue an Obstruction Permit, pending the results of a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Assessment.

Development Opportunities on City-owned Surplus Land

When the City of Oakland declares a property as “surplus land” pursuant to the State Surplus Land Act, the Oakland City Council will make a declaration of surplus during a public hearing. Following the declaration of surplus, the City must provide a Notice of Availability to eligible entities, including the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), any local public entity within the jurisdiction where the surplus local land is located, and developers who have notified HCD of their interest in developing affordable housing on surplus local land.

Dishonesty Police Personnel Records

By law, the public has a right to any record relating to an incident in which a sustained finding was made involving dishonesty by a peace officer directly relating to the reporting, investigation, or prosecution of a crime, or directly relating to the reporting of, or investigation of misconduct by, another peace officer.

Do I Need To Register My Unit?

On June 21, 2022, the Oakland City Council adopted a requirement to establish a rent registry for all units subject to the Rent Adjustment Program (RAP) Fee. As of July 1, 2023, owners of these units are required to report property, rent and tenancy information to RAP. Owners are then required to confirm or update their units’ tenancy information annually by March 1st. Because July 1, 2023, falls on Saturday, the deadline to register will be Monday, July 3, 2023. <!-- Google Tag Manager --> <script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f); })(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-MH9CHSR');</script> <!-- End Google Tag Manager --> <!-- Google Tag Manager (noscript) --> <noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-MH9CHSR" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript> <!-- End Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->

Dog Foster Program

After introducing our foster program for big dogs in June 2020, we saw the euthanasia rate for dogs drop in half. Through this program, we are only focusing on dogs we believe will make good companions, but who need to get out of the stressful shelter environment ASAP.

Oakland Parks, Recreation & Youth Development offers 5 fenced dog play areas, 4 off-leash parks, and 18 on-leash areas for community use. Please review the Dog Play Area Rules, before heading off with fido. The following are a list of dog friendly spaces.
