"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."
"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. The project would include two sections for open space. One of the open spaces would contain an open patio, a resident garden, a tot lot, and a swimming pool that already exists on site."
An 87-unit, 100% affordable housing development is planned for 150-170 Sierra Drive in Walnut Creek, where the 29-unit Sierra Garden Apartments currently stand. Berkeley-based Satellite Housing Associates owns the 1.4-acre parcel and intends to develop the project. The developer is seeking streamlined review under multiple state laws and requests waivers on height, story count, setback from existing structures, and parking. The project design includes two open-space sections, one featuring an open patio, resident garden, a tot lot, and an existing swimming pool. No timeline has been released as the proposal proceeds through city review. Additional Walnut Creek infill housing proposals are underway nearby.
