What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A developer from Berkeley proposed a revised housing project in San Rafael, reducing the plan from 24 stories and 345 apartments to eight stories and 197 apartments. The new application targets independent living for residents 55 and older and includes about 25,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The project will fulfill its affordable housing obligation by paying an in-lieu fee of about $3.5 million to the city’s affordable housing trust fund.
