CONCORD — The future of the Concord Naval Weapons Station project, the Bay Area’s largest development, is on hold once again.
Councilmembers spent three hours of the daylong meeting, which ran from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., grilling Concord First Partners and city staff about the details of the contract, which differs from negotiations with the city’s previous master developer, Lennar, in that it now includes a longer construction timeline and more homes.
The original 2012 area plan called for setting aside 25% of 12,272 units, or about 3,020 units, as affordable housing. The draft contract before the council on Saturday increased the number of residences to 15,595. The number of affordable units, however, remained the same. To make up the difference, the developers are counting 879 accessory units attached to single-family homes as affordable units.
Representatives of labor and union groups have supported passage of the draft contract and its goal of hiring 40% of the construction workforce from within Contra Costa County, giving Concord residents a priority. The Seeno family for decades has held great influence over real estate development in Contra Costa but also has become notorious in the East Bay for regularly suing public agencies and fighting environmental groups.first made public in a column
In light of the allegations, Obringer asked city staff about whether its financial analyst had reviewed the ability of Seeno III’s company to keep its financial promises. Bjerke said his staff had not and was unsure whether it would be appropriate to do so.
