Alameda County relaxes density rules in San Lorenzo project
Alameda County supervisors after a long hearing relaxed residential planned development density rules. The move clears the way for Knuppe to resubmit a 12 unit project on a 2.5 acre patch in San Lorenzo, drawing appeals from neighbors and county counsel citing violations of the general plan and current density limits. The June 17 hearing will decide Knuppe's 1 home per 2,960 square feet density proposal as a potential shift toward higher density housing in the area.
