Panel Discussion on Proposed Transit Village at Ashby BART January 17, 2006

Are you concerned that the Berkeley City Council approved a
Caltrans grant application to plan a ?transit village? at the
Ashby BART station?
What is a ?transit village development district? and how does it
differ from a redevelopment district?
What effects would a 300-unit mixed-use project have on
neighborhood traffic, parking, businesses, and the flea market?
Do you live/work within the proposed district bounded by
California, Stuart, Fulton, and the Berkeley-Oakland border?
How would your home or business be impacted?
California law provides a 25% density bonus and ?expedited
permitting? for transit village development districts. Does that
mean upzoning? Would it limit public participation in the
permit process?
Panel discussion followed by public comments and questions.

neighborhood associations
