The Berkeley Zoning Adjustment Board is expected to review plans tonight for an eight-story mixed-use complex at 2700 Shattuck Avenue in South Berkeley, Alameda County. The proposal would add over three hundred apartment units and retail across from the Y-shaped intersection between Shattuck Avenue and Adeline Street. Hudson McDonald is responsible for the application.
The Zoning Adjustments Board in Berkeley will meet tomorrow and discuss approving a use permit for 2614 Telegraph Avenue. The proposed project at that site would require the demolition of a small residential building on the site and a small commercial building on the adjacent property. The two parcels would then be merged, creating a larger L-Shaped lot that would be accessible from both Telegraph Avenue and Carleton Street.
Plans are under review for the affordable housing component of the Francis Ranch masterplanned neighborhood in Dublin, Alameda County. The four-story project, named Eden at Francis Ranch, will add 78 units to the larger suburban enclave developed by Trumark Homes. Eden Housing and Sunflower Hill are joint project sponsors.
A pre-application including several basic pieces of information was submitted for a property at 316 12th Street in Oakland. The planned project would keep the property exterior unchanged, while making interior modifications to the layout and building use. The main expected change from the renovations is the conversion of its existing office and retail space to nine additional housing units and residential support spaces.
Initial permits were submitted for the grading and site preparation of a parcel at 285 12th Street in Oakland. The site is currently under a development proposal to bring 65 new units of affordable housing to Oakland’s Downtown/Chinatown neighborhood. SF YIMBY most recently reported on this project in December of 2025, when it was announced that the project’s developer EBALDC was awarded a sizable grant from the state climate action programs. Since then, the project has begun to move forward with preparation for construction.
