Downtown Oakland is the heart of the East Bay, the historic center of Oakland,
a major employment hub, and a significant cultural center. It is home to
groundbreaking art, social innovation and original expression. The Downtown
Oakland Specific Plan (DOSP) seeks to preserve and enhance this dynamic
culture that Oaklanders treasure about downtown. It is designed to prevent
displacement of both people and culture, while encouraging downtown’s
development in ways that assist all Oaklanders to safely and affordably access
housing, transportation, recreation, health and good jobs.
A specific plan is a State-regulated policy document that implements a
community’s General Plan in a defined area - in this case Downtown Oakland.
It regulates land use, guides future development, and focuses local policies,
regulations and action steps to result in a built environment that achieves
community goals.
