Council to consider major changes in apartment village plan
The Hayward council will review an altered 750 unit project by Ken Karp and Dan Garr on Johny White Hill, removing much earth but adding surface parking, with underground parking dropped. The plan misses the city parking ratio and faces planning objections, amid concerns over grading, noise, and environmental impact. A 30 acre ridge top site near Grove Way and I 380, already graded, prompts resident worries. A second agenda item includes a resolution to study a linear park along Botany Grounds and a possible right of way use for Foothill Freeway development.
