The city council this week voted 5-0 to approve the Eden Housing project.
The decision was made Tuesday afternoon, following a packed virtual meeting on Monday with about 200 participants and just over 100 public speakers.
Slated for the cityâs Downtown Core at the southeastern corner of Railroad Avenue and South L Street, the project is set to provide 130 affordable housing units.Â
The project has been a point of controversy for Livermore. Those who support the current plans have stressed the importance of immediately providing affordable homes to a community thatâs seen a large portion of residents priced out. Those who oppose the current plans â including groups such as Preserve Downtown Livermore and Save Livermore Downtown (SLD) â want the housing moved across the street to enable a park on the vacated land and to create additional affordable units on the new location, as many as 230 in total.Â

A 20-year crusade to build affordable housing in downtown Livermore won a unanimous victory Tuesday when the city council approved a development that had divided the city and fueled accusations of racism and elitism.
The 5-0 vote will allow nonprofit Eden Housing to construct 130 affordable homes on a flat dirt 2.5-acre parcel fronting Stockmen Park, near the southeast corner of Railroad Avenue and L Street. The city-owned lot has been designated for affordable housing since 2007. The developer, Eden Housing, was selected in 2018 and has received $14.4 million in bond fu
But they decided that should not be their immediate focus.
Instead, the county Agricultural Advisory Commission voted 10-0 for its solar subcommittee to spend less of its time on the concept of âagrivoltaicsâ â a policy where solar panel farms are used to enhance crop growing â and spend the bulk of its time on other solar-related issues. This includes mapping areas where developers can build such facilities.
âI move that we do everything we can to recommend to the solar subcommittee, that they move forward to completion of a policy that may be presented to (county officials), and we leave the door open and we continue to work on agrivoltaics, as (part) of a comprehensive policy,â Commissioner Karl Wente said. âThis is just a sliver of the pie.â
