Rossmoor Shopping Center Teardown Under Consideration

WALNUT CREEK, CA — One of the larger buildings at the Rossmoor Shopping Center could be demolished in the near future, with plans to eventually build a slightly smaller building there to accommodate an anchor tenant, according to a city staff report.

That report comes as part of the Walnut Creek City Council packet for the regular Tuesday night meeting, where council members are scheduled to decide whether to rezone the shopping center on Tice Valley Boulevard to enable to demolition.

The space where "Building 1930" now is would be used temporarily as a staging area for construction equipment used in the ongoing upgrade of the shopping center, near the Rossmoor retirement community.

The City Council will on Tuesday also consider whether to allow accessory dwelling ("mother-in-law") units larger than 950 square feet on parcels of at least one acre; whether to establish privacy standards for second-story windows in new such housing units; hold a public hearing on a proposal to vacate parts of Pringle and Riviera Avenues near downtown to allow for development of the Walnut Creek Transit Village Project near the BART station; and discuss renewal (for 10 years) of the Shadelands business park's property and business improvement district through which businesses located there can assess themselves to pay for services the city doesn't provide.

Tuesday night's meeting begins at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 1666 N. Main St.
