Eden Housing Files 80-Unit Senior Affordable Project in Contra Costa

Eden Housing, Inc. is seeking approval for an 80-unit senior affordable rental project in unincorporated Contra Costa County, under County File CDDP25-03034. The county Zoning Administrator took it up as discussion item 4a at its November 2, 2026 meeting, according to the county’s Legistar record.

Why it matters

For Bay Area builders, the file is a live test of how far state Density Bonus Law can cut parking in the county. Eden is asking for 18 parking spaces where county code requires 141, as one of three concessions under Gov. Code Section 65915. A second concession would waive park impact and dedication fees. The land is owned by the CCC Redevelopment Agency, per the agenda, a sign of public land feeding the San Francisco Bay Area affordable pipeline.

The numbers

The application lists 80 total units for seniors. Of those, 24 units are restricted to residents earning no more than 30 percent of area median income, and 55 units are restricted to residents earning no more than 50 percent of area median income, per the agenda record on file with the county. The project also sets aside ground-level office space for the Veteran’s Accession House. Eden also seeks waivers for a 4-foot front setback, where 10 feet is the minimum, and a 10-foot rear yard, where 15 feet is the minimum. The plan includes a tree permit to remove 4 trees and about 1,910 cubic yards of grading. No funding source is named in the agenda record, and no project address is listed on the public meeting page.

What’s next

The November 2 hearing was listed as a discussion item, not a final vote. The county’s own minutes for that date remain in draft form, and the action and result fields on the Zoning Administrator’s record read “not available,” meaning no decision or approval has been posted as of this writing. The American Developer will follow the file through any continuance, approval, or appeal.
