SF BART recently submitted a preliminary application for the North Berkeley BART Station redevelopment along Sacramento Street in Berkeley. The local transit agency will use Assembly Bill 2011 to streamline approval with a CEQA-exempt and time-limited process. Once complete, the project will replace surface parking around the transit station with 739 new homes.
Community members gathered last week to celebrate the official groundbreaking ceremony of Colibri Commons, a new affordable housing complex rising at 965 Weeks Street in East Palo Alto, San Mateo County. The project is a joint development by EPACANDO and MidPen Housing to create 136 homes on city-owned land. Residents are expected to move in as early as next year.
The previous proposal for 1101-1123 Sutter Street called for a 14-story residential infill with over two hundred homes in Lower Nob Hill, San Francisco. Now, new modified project plans have been shared for a 22-story complex, with more housing to match. Martin Building Company is the project developer.
Development permits have been approved for the proposed six-story affordable housing infill at 3419 San Pablo Avenue in West Oakland, Alameda County. The proposal, led by East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation, will replace a surface parking lot and small structures next to the California Hotel with 60 new homes. Residents will be given access to a community space and residential services.
The Emeryville Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans for the three-building affordable housing proposal at 5890, 5900, and 6150 Christie Avenue tomorrow. The proposal will create retail and 362 homes for a mix of household sizes by the Public Market and the city’s Amtrak station. EAH Housing is responsible for the application.
