Many residents, environmentalists objected, but construction workers supported the Seeno/Faira Investors’ plan to develop in the hills just outside the city.
A massive housing project in the hills southwest of Pittsburg got the City Council’s nod of approval despite some opposition from residents, conservationists and environmentalists.
“We’ve negotiated this over many years,” Louis Parsons of Discovery Builders told the council. “We think this is a wonderful opportunity to bring more homes to this area, and to facilitate future commercial development, which we’re seeing with the Sprouts coming in and other opportunities for commercial that need these residential users.”
The project will also include a youth recreation center and trails that will connect to the East Bay Regional Park District’s future Thurgood Marshall Regional Park at the former Concord Naval Weapons Base. Some, though, were not convinced, including Concord Mayor Laura Hoffmeister, who said the city was not against the project but was concerned about its visual impacts, including rooftops and light poles, which might be seen from Concord.
