South Hayward Annex Protests Fail to Kill Plan
Protests against the Treeview Annex in Hayward failed to defeat the plan for a 1132 acre annexation that would bring industrial land into the city. At a City Council meeting, authorities described the protest as insufficient to halt the vote, with 32 percent of assessed valuation represented. The incident at Calaveras Dam involved gunfire but did not stop officials from moving forward with zoning and annexation actions. Local residents voiced concern over potential industrial development and traffic impacts, while SP and Santa Clara deputies coordinated response. The council also adopted zoning and precise plan measures for adjoining areas and work on sidewalks and street plans.
