Berkeley could see 2,650 additional units of housing in Southside thanks to a new upzoning plan approved by the Berkeley City Council at a special meeting Tuesday morning.
On Friday morning, the “chess club,” a well-known community space on Telegraph Avenue, was cleared by the block’s property owner, with BPD on standby, following numerous trespassing allegations.
Resources for Community Development, or RCD, the developer of the supportive housing at People’s Park, has pulled out of the project, according to an RCD statement.
Berkeley’s planning commission met Wednesday for an update and community discussion about the proposed redistricting of Southside and updating development standards.
