 ... "Samir Sharma of Terra Holdings took over an 11.2 acre site at 801 Fassler Ave. In 2004, the city certified an EIR for “The Prospects” 29 residential units. However, the entitlements lapsed and no building was ever done. ....The new owner now requests the city consider the Fassler Avenue Residential Project with 24 condominium units in 12 duplex buildings..... Most of the units will have a living area, garage, porch, deck and private yard, with a few exceptions.  

....  Construction is expected to begin next July and be going on Monday through Friday and Saturday as needed. Infrastructure will take five months to build. Final grading to Fassler Avenue will take another four months. The full build out is expected to be completed by December 2017.

The draft EIR discloses possible effects in the areas of aesthetics, biological resources, geology and soils, hydrology, water quality, transportation and traffic.  Responses to the draft EIR are due by Nov. 17. Send comments to Kathryn Farbstein, Assistant Planner, 1800 Francisco Blvd. Pacifica, CA 94044 or email farbsteink@ci.pacifica.ca.us."  Read article.
