144-unit housing project at Park Road and Peninsula
Summary
A seven-story, 144-unit apartment building with 12 below-market-rate units replaces the funeral home and gym at the gateway to downtown. State laws (SB 330, AB 130, density bonus, AB 2097) heavily limit what the city can require, so the fight is mostly over design details like sidewalk width and landscaping.
