Commission approves 1151 Washington townhomes after heated debate over shadows, contamination and safety
Summary
After hours of public testimony on shadows to the Betty Ann Ong Recreation Center, hazardous‑soil allegations, and fire/egress concerns, the Planning Commission approved a 10‑unit ‘tiny townhomes’ project at 1151 Washington with conditions requiring any increase in building volume to return to the commission and staff review of materials.
The Planning Commission on April 27 approved a conditional use authorization for a 10‑unit infill project at 1151 Washington Street that replaces a single‑family dwelling with nine new modest townhouses plus one voluntary below‑market‑rate unit. Staff noted the project seeks waivers for rear yard, setbacks and exposures under the state density bonus program and that the health department’s MAHER (site mitigation) program required subsurface sampling and an approved site mitigation plan.
