This map describes the possible hazard from earthquake-induced landslides for the city of Berkeley, CA. The hazard depicted by this map was modeled for a scenario corresponding to an M=7.1 earthquake on the Hayward, CA fault. This scenario magnitude is associated with complete rupture of the northern and southern segments of the Hayward fault, an event that has an estimated return period of about 500 years. The modeled hazard also corresponds to completely saturated ground-water conditions resulting from an extreme storm event or series of storm events. This combination of earthquake and ground-water scenarios represents a particularly severe state of hazard for earthquake- induced landslides. For dry ground-water conditions, overall hazard will be less, while relative patterns of hazard are likely to change.

The Orange Map responds to the direction of the Independent Redistricting Commission to create a draft map that has a high level of continuity with the existing council district boundaries and includes changes as needed to meet the universal criteria. This map maintains general consistency for Districts 3 – 8, with significant changes to Districts 1 and 2 in West Berkeley. The universal criteria are: 1) Maximum of 10% population deviation; 2) Contiguous districts; 3) Maintain Communities of Interest and Neighborhoods; 4) Use major arterial streets as boundaries where possible; 5) Correct the features of the 2010 map that accounted for prior Councilmember residences; and 6) Include at least one compact student district in every map.The Orange Map follows the Commission direction by making the following noteworthy modifications:Create a single West Berkeley District west of San Pablo Avenue and including the neighborhood around San Pablo Park;Unify the Westbrae Neighborhood in District 1;Move the Poets Corner Neighborhood to District 1;Unify the LeConte Neighborhood in District 3;Unify the Lorin Neighborhood in District 3;Unify the Halcyon Neighborhood in District 8;Unify the Bateman Neighborhood in District 8;Unify the Willard Neighborhood in District 8;Unify Lower Spruce/Arch Street with the Northside Neighborhood in District 6;Move the census block that contains the International House from District 8 to the existing student district (District 7);Correct map features for prior Councilmember residences in District 4 and District 7;Maximize the use of the major arterials, San Pablo Avenue, Telegraph Avenue, Sacramento Street, Spruce Street, Oxford Street, and Cedar Street, as district boundaries;Commission direction on topography/wildfire risk/transit access is reflected in higher elevation neighborhoods contained in two council districts (6, 8).

The Maroon Map responds to the direction of the Independent Redistricting Commission to create draft maps that show variations on two student-focused districts. This map shows West Berkeley in its current configuration of two districts. This map also meets the six universal map criteria to varying degrees. The universal criteria are: 1) Maximum of 10% population deviation; 2) Contiguous districts; 3) Maintain Communities of Interest and Neighborhoods; 4) Use major arterial streets as boundaries where possible; 5) Correct the features of the 2010 map that accounted for prior Councilmember residences; and 6) Include at least one compact student district in every map.The Maroon Map follows the Commission direction by making the following noteworthy modifications:Create two “student-focused” districts with a north-south orientation (4, 7);Use the current configuration for two West Berkeley districts;Unify the Westbrae Neighborhood in District 1;Unify the Poet’s Corner Neighborhood in District 2;Unify the Lorin Neighborhood in District 3;Unify the Halcyon Neighborhood in District 8;Unify the Bateman Neighborhood in District 8;Unify the Willard Neighborhood in District 8;Move the border between District 5 and District 6 from Spruce Street to Arlington Avenue;Move the Panoramic Hill Neighborhood and the Clark Kerr Campus from District 8 to the south student district (District 7);Move the portion of the Northside Neighborhood south of LeConte Avenue into the north student district (District 4);The above changes necessarily create a lower degree of Neighborhood cohesion for the following neighborhoods: LeConte, Northside, North Shattuck;As compared to the Blue Map, this configuration of the student-focused districts results in a comparatively lower density of student residents in District 4 with the inclusion of the Central Berkeley Neighborhood;Correct map features for prior Councilmember residences in District 4 and District 7;Use of the major arterials, University Avenue, Sacramento Street, Spruce Street, Arlington Avenue, Adeline Avenue, Dwight Way, and Bancroft Way, as district boundaries;Commission direction on topography/wildfire risk/transit access is reflected in higher elevation neighborhoods contained in four council districts (4, 6, 7, 8).

This layer was created for the redistricting project map. BUSD provided a powerpoint file that showed the boundaries since they could not locate the original shapefile that was used. The core information used the generate the boundaries are the image in the powerpoint file and the 2020 census block boundaries. The source of image used is described below by the original contractor Bruce Wicinas. I was drafted to help BUSD around 1991. At that time they used planning software authored by a San Jose company, "Educational Data Systems." This was long before ESRI was known to the likes of school districts or acknowledged by the Census Bureau. "Educational Data Systems," which had many school district clients around the U.S., performed their own particle-ization of school district geography. They divided districts into rectangles of approximately 4 - 8 city blocks. These they called "planning areas." They were convenient. BUSD they divided into 445, a number neither too fine nor too coarse.Many years later, .shp files became widely available. Alas, not all Planning Area perimeters coincide with line segments of .shp files. In the Berkeley flatlands the discrepancies are not so bad. But in the hills, there aren't "blocks" but meandering strips. "Planning Areas" have line segments which don't correspond to streets or perimeters of .shp files.About 15 years ago I enhanced my custom software to read shp files. Thus I could superimpose Planning Areas and .shp files, observing the overlap discrepancies. I'll omit for now the rest of this story; what I did about the discrepancy between census Block Groups and Planning Areas. I could go into that if you are interested.I got "Planning Areas" into my custom software from the ancient EdSys data, somehow ,decades ago. I may have read a file containing polygon coordinates. At that time I could export the planning area polygons via DXF. But they have no relationship to .shp. I could provide a representation of GIS planning areas in coordinates such as "State Plane" but this probably does you no good. I have never written an ".shp" file exporter. The .shp file format is mind-boggling; archaic compared to modern methods.About 25 years ago I wrote an on-line means by which staff at BUSD can type in a Berkeley address and get the corresponding socio-ec category number. It does this by determining the "planning area number" - 1 through 445 - containing the address. That on-line software could provide the attendance zone as well but no one ever asked for that. The student assignment software used by the high school and by admissions performs that function internally. Every student has an attendance zone number as soon as they get added to the database.
