Fremont Council Shelves Housing Project for a Year
Fremont clamped down on a $10 to $12 million housing plan by Proud Homes Inc. for a remote flood plain area north of Newark between the rail line and Haley Street. The council denied the 645 homes and 105 apartments plus shopping center, citing fire and police protection costs and the lack of a continuous link to the city. Fire service costs were estimated at $79,000 annually, not counting a new station. Some members urged delay for fixes. others backed immediate rejection, saying it would be kinder to all to turn it down. Developers vowed to reconsider after a year. In other business, the council agreed to 30 more days to study a proposed business license tax increase, with retroactive effect possible to January, amid local business protests.
