12 years later, apartment project at center of Bay Area housing battles cleared to move forward

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:16:07 GMT

After more than a decade, one of the Bay Area’s most contentious housing battles has finally come to a close.Over objections from neighbors who sued to halt a 315-unit apartment project slated for the East Bay suburb of Lafayette, the California Supreme Court this week declined to review a lower court’s decision that the development meets state environmental requirements and construction can begin.Pro-housing advocates cheered the move while at the same time highlighting the 12-year fight as an example of the region’s challenges in building more desperately needed homes.“This decision is a win for housing, but the fact that this project has taken so long is exactly why we have such a catastrophic housing shortage,” Sonja Trauss, founder of YIMBY Law, said in a statement.Save Lafayette, the neighborhood group that sued to stop the development, known as Terraces of Lafayette, said officials and courts who have backed the project are ignoring the increased...

Forecast: Atmospheric river barreling towards California may spare the Bay Area, dump snow on Sierra

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:16:07 GMT

It looks like the luck of the Irish may be with the Bay Area when it comes to our next series of storms.Another atmospheric river storm expected to careen into the Bay Area next week is now looking like it will tack farther south, meteorologists say, leading them to downgrade the amount of rain forecasted to douse already saturated ground. In total, most cities around the Bay will get about an inch of rain by Wednesday, with light showers beginning Sunday morning.“The main impacts of the storm will be in the LA area,” said Sarah McCorkle, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Monterey.The Central Coast — where a series of storms have hammered levees, downed trees and caused landslides — could also dodge the worst of the atmospheric river next week, with no large waterways currently forecast to hit major flood stage. There is always a small chance that the storm could skirt north, increasing the flood risk, McCorkle said, though that’s not currently ant...
