3 issues in development with high priority
Use of Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for low-income apartments
The council approved a grant from the town's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund to Community Resources, Inc. for affordable housing at 100-200 Beech Street. This puts town housing money directly into building below-market-rate homes in Danville.
Town construction boom and department staffing shortages
Major projects are underway town-wide — affordable apartments, townhomes, a senior living facility, and the Diablo Road trail — while Development Services operates short-handed in every division. Residents can expect more construction disruptions through the winter.
Mixed-use housing development at 222 West El Pintado Road
The Community Presbyterian Church and People Meeting Christ Foundation want to build a mixed-use housing project on and around their property. Neighbors appealed the Planning Commission's approval over traffic, building placement and neighborhood-impact concerns; the council heard hours of testimony and let the approval stand with new conditions.
