4 issues in development with high priority
Courthouse Project Budget Increase and Divarty Street Improvements
The Council bumped the Courthouse Project budget to $1,347,921.07, pulling $60,099 from reserves to cover the City's share of already-completed Divarty Street undergrounding work under the Shea Homes agreement.
Appeal of 1828 Yosemite Street Approval
Neighbors appealed the Planning Commission's approval of a second-story addition with a deck and balcony over a zero-lot-line garage. The council approved it with new privacy-screening and documentation conditions.
340 Amador Avenue triplex parking and design
A three-story, three-unit building replaces a single-family home in the West Broadway Urban Village, adding much-needed housing — including one low-income unit — but raising neighborhood concerns about parking, trash service, and whether the modern design fits a street of small single-story homes.
Youth substance use treatment facility at 1732 Fremont Boulevard
Sun Street Centers wants to open the region's first adolescent residential substance use treatment program — 40 beds for youth 12-17 — on Fremont Boulevard. Nearby mobile home park residents strongly oppose the location over parking, security, and neighborhood compatibility, and the commission expects an appeal to the City Council.
