Land Use Designation Requests

Representing the property owner of 65 acres south of Kaiser Hospital, he explained that their property was designated under old future urban area rules over 30 years ago, and consultants found commercial-only development challenging. They requested a mixed-use designation to allow phased, interactive commercial and residential uses serving the hospital.

Representing a family that has owned their ranch since 1921, he noted that the staff report's labeling of their 47-acre property as 'high density' is misleading, as they actually want a mix of single-family, multi-family, and mixed-use options. He also asked about public access to documents and suggested consulting real estate boots-on-the-ground professionals.

A broker representing Tri Commercial who has worked in Antioch for 40 years, he praised city staff accessibility and discussed structural market changes, noting that suburban office parks are declining and energy costs/power availability are major factors for modern industrial and business park development.
