Appeal Filed Against Approved Lafayette Development
They say the project will eliminate public parking available to their business and the driveways will be hazardous to pedestrians.
LAMORINDA, CA — The Lafayette City Council on Monday will hear an appeal of the planning commission's June 7 approval of a dozen townhomes on two vacant parcels on Stuart Street, requiring the removal of 14 trees.
The appeal was filed by Jeffrey and R. Ann Whitehead, the owners of The Child Day Schools, also on Stuart Street. They say the project will eliminate public parking available to their business and the development's driveways will be hazardous to pedestrians walking in the school parking lot.
The land is at the east end of downtown, adjacent to Highway 24, on the east side of Stuart Street.
