A Notice of Exemption was filed for a large affordable housing development at 359 Hudson Street in Healdsburg. The possibility of the project’s disqualification or significant modification requirements under CEQA was one of the last barriers to the major project after last month’s planning commission reluctantly approved the project. The project’s developer, Gallaher Signature Living, has been able to push the project through despite opposition by using the state density bonus rules that require cities to accept projects that meet all formal requirements.
New permits have been filed for a proposed project at 2812 Eighth Street in Berkeley. If approved, the full project scope would allow for the demolition of a single-family home and construction of three new buildings.

Preliminary permits have been filed for a 36-story residential tower at 1301 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco.
