A mixed-use project at the former gas station site at 5175 Broadway is proposed. A toxic cleanup is underway and a limited traffic study is in progress. Project is expected to go to the Planning Commission in October pending completion of cleanup and traffic study.
The traffic study is now under review by Public Works. The toxic site mitigation program is underway. These will likely result in a Mitigated Negative Declaration rather than a full EIR, with a public hearing not expected until November.

A residential/mixed-use project at 5175 Broadway that RCPC voted not to oppose subject to conditions, but the Planning Commission rejected it on design grounds and sent it back for formal design review.
After Planning Commission rejection in March, the project was scheduled for design review before the Planning Commission on April 9. The developer held a public meeting April 7 at the Rockridge Branch Library. Final drawings were received by the Land Use Committee but with insufficient time for review.
The project was heard by the Planning Commission's design review committee in April. RCPC submitted extensive comments; the committee recommended changes, especially a downward reorientation of the roofline at the rear. Revised plans were in preparation and the project was scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Commission on May 21.
The project was scheduled for a Planning Commission hearing on June 4. The applicant's architect had revised the project plans slightly. RCPC continued to support changes to the traffic circulation pattern to reduce impacts on surrounding residents, though the City's traffic department opposed those changes.
