Peralta Blvd, Fremont

General Plan Amendment – Underutilized Site

  • WGV
    assisted
    a
    builder
    client
    in
    assembling
    multiple
    properties
    and
    changing
    their
    land
    use
    designation
    to
    accommodate
    development
    of
    a
    52-unit
    townhome
    program.
    The
    2.5
    acre
    site
    consisted
    of
    an
    awkward
    combination
    of
    older
    single
    family
    homes
    and
    commercial
    uses
    along
    a
    busy
    thoroughfare;
    this
    mix
    of
    uses
    required
    a
    General
    Plan
    Amendment
    to
    accommodate
    the
    residential
    project.
    In
    addition,
    the
    site’s
    development
    faced
    community
    opposition
    because
    one
    of
    the
    homes
    was
    once
    the
    residence
    of
    popular
    local
    historic
    figure.

  • WGV
    coordinated
    the
    design
    of
    the
    residential
    program
    and
    obtained
    its
    approval
    through
    significant
    outreach
    efforts
    with
    the
    community
    and
    city.
    WGV
    also
    met
    with
    a
    local
    historical
    group
    and
    ultimately
    proposed
    relocating
    the
    historical
    figure’s
    house
    to
    another
    lot
    within
    the
    neighborhood;
    that
    home
    was
    then
    moved,
    remodeled
    and
    is
    currently
    occupied.
    In
    addition,
    the
    WGV
    helped
    facilitate
    the
    relocation
    of
    retail
    businesses
    that
    were
    affected
    by
    the
    site’s
    development.
    Ultimately,
    the
    program
    was
    approved
    by
    the
    city
    and
    completed
    construction
    in
    2022.
