Berkeley is planning to revise zoning regulations for the vacant Pacific Steel Casting plant to support the development of a life sciences campus. Initially envisioned as a hub for life sciences firms, the project faltered amid uncertainties regarding the sector's growth. The proposed zoning changes would expand allowable uses on the site, which is currently restricted to manufacturing, to include research, development, and office space. A height limit of 55 feet is proposed, with exceptions for larger structures under specific conditions. This initiative is crucial for future redevelopment efforts.
"The proposal would set a 55-foot height cap for buildings at the site, allowing up to 105 feet under certain conditions, facilitating potential life sciences development."
"Despite an ambitious vision to develop a life sciences campus in Berkeley, proposed plans for Gilman Forge came to a halt due to uncertainty in construction."
