"WALNUT CREEK Dozens of affordable homes are in the works for a Walnut Creek site where existing apartments would have to be demolished to pave the way for a new residential project. The 87-unit housing development would be built at 150-170 Sierra Drive in Walnut Creek. The 29-unit Sierra Garden Apartments complex now occupies the development location, according to the Apartment Finder website."
"Berkeley-based Satellite Housing Associates owns the 1.4-acre site and intends to develop the new affordable homes project, Walnut Creek planning documents show. The project would be 100% affordable, according to the proposal. Satellite Housing is seeking a streamlined review process under multiple state laws, Walnut Creek public records show. The developer also is seeking waivers for the project's height, number of stories, the building's setback from existing structures, and a parking concession, according to the planning documents."
