The SB35 application has been approved for the eight-story residential development at Rockridge Geotechnical’s 3120 Shattuck Avenue site in Berkeley. Called Woolsey Gardens, this complex aims to be a community hub, creating 65 units of permanent affordable housing alongside the services provided by the two existing on-site tenants, the Homeless Action Center and the Long Haul InfoShop. Micro-workshop space will also be available for local entrepreneurs, comprising some of the building’s 7,320 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. On-site parking will be included only for bicycles, and the construction process will use 100% renewable energy.
