Plans have been published for a potential new housing project on top of the Amoeba Music record store at 2455 Telegraph Avenue in Southside, Berkeley. The proposal would add seven floors of housing above the existing store, retaining the site’s nearly 50-year-old landmarked murals. Amoeba co-owners Dave Prinz and Marc Weinstein are jointly responsible for the development.
The proposed Marinwood Plaza Housing would build 125 new affordable units at 121-197 Marinwood Avenue in unincorporated land of Marin County. Legal challenges to the project were filed by Marinwood Coalition Against Segregation, which claimed that the project violated the proscribed maximum ratio of affordable units per property. However, the challenge was voluntarily withdrawn earlier this month, clearing the way for the development to move forward.
Preliminary permits have been filed for a six-story apartment complex rising at 2834 San Jose Avenue in the Oceanview neighborhood of San Francisco. The development is looking to add nine units to a corner lot close to the Broad Street light-rail station. Tommy Costello is the project applicant.
Plans are pivoting once again for 2700 Sloat Boulevard in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset neighborhood. The latest filing could create nearly seven hundred units of affordable housing, along with a potential ground-floor grocery store and public parking, across from the city’s zoo and close to Ocean Beach. Raelynn Hickey of Nevada-based CH Planning LLC is once more responsible for the application.
Preliminary plans have been filed for a behavioral health recovery facility close to the MacArthur BART Station at 3841 Telegraph Avenue in Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood. The project would replace two smaller buildings with a four-story medical space. Hayward-based Horizon Services is the property owner and sponsor.
