DEMMON PARTNERS, MITCH McKINZIE, VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBDIVISION AND SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
~ To allow a new mixed-use multi-family project with 138 (previously 163) rental housing units, 11,049 (previously 11,524) sq. ft. of indoor retail, 983 (previously 660) sq. ft. of outdoor retail seating area, no proposed realignment of Via Mercado, and Adoption of an Update to an Addendum to the Village Center Specific Plan EIR, for property located in the Zoning District of C-1 (as modified by the San Lorenzo Village Center Specific Plan) and General Plan land use designation of San Lorenzo Village Center Specific Plan Subareas 5B, 5C, and 5D (Residential Mixed-Use: residential permitted where part of the project includes commercial development), on six parcels totaling 5.12 acres located on the west side of Hesperian Blvd, between Paseo Grande and Via Mercado, San Lorenzo area of unincorporated Alameda County, with County Assessor's Parcel Numbers 412-0039-001-03, 412-0039-002-00, 412-0039-003-00, 412-0039-004-02, 412-0042-112-00, and 412-0042-113-00.

PLN2021-00202 / COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, SB 35 MINISTERIAL REVIEW,
application to allow construction of a four-story, 40-foot tall (to top of parapet), 42 affordable housing studio units plus one, 2-bedroom managers dwelling unit, a community room and associated office, and 32 on-site parking spaces, located on a property that also contains an existing church (church to remain), at 2889 Kelly Street, Fairview area of unincorporated Alameda County, and in the Fairview Area Specific Plan, "R-1" Single-Family Residence zoning district, and in the Fairview Area General Plan, land use designation of "Low Density Residential", with County Assessor's Parcel Number (APN): 416 0180-020-00. Because the State Statute mandates that the project review process is ministerial and that projects are judged purely on objective standards that do not involve the exercise of discretion, the California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the SB 35 process: Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15268(a): "Ministerial projects are exempt from the requirements of CEQA".
