The decision likely ends more than two years of litigation against the City of Lafayette and developer O'Brien Land Company over the city's approval of the 315-unit project, slated for Deer Hill and Pleasant Hill roads
"The courts have once again affirmed that the city complied with the Housing Accountability Act and the California Environmental Quality Act in its environmental review and approval of this 20 percent affordable housing project," Lafayette Mayor Carl Anduri said in a statement, posted on the city's website."The litigation is over, and we should now focus on welcoming new residents to our community.
The council approved the project in August 2020, after more than nine years of planning by O'Brien Land Company, which is planning to offer 63 of the 315 units at below-market-rate units. The development will sit on a 22-acre parcel on Deer Hill Road, just west of Pleasant Hill Road and north of state Highway 24, near Acalanes High School. Plans are for seven three-story buildings and seven two-story structures.
