Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Oakley public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
110 new homes on East Cypress Road (Peixoto Ranch)
Finishing the four-year, $16.5 million widening project needs another $860,000 for concrete, fill, and higher material and labor costs. The Council approved the contingency at its meeting.
3920 Empire Avenue Commercial Redesignation
Owners want three acres at Laurel Road and Empire Avenue changed from residential to commercial. Council signaled support, noting gas stations and car washes are already barred, but a neighbor strongly objected citing traffic and noise.
Stonecreek Subdivision 9647 (176 homes)
A long-delayed 176-home subdivision that was graded in 2006 but stalled by the recession is moving again. Residents raised concerns about traffic at Sellers and Delta, construction timing, and street lighting; the project will also fund roughly $1 million in habitat conservation fees and build new sewer and drainage pump stations.
