Decision on large development in Pittsburg postponed following community pushback

After receiving hundreds of emails opposing a housing project that would develop a portion of the Los Medanos Ridgeline between Pittsburg and Concord, the agency charged with deciding whether to annex the open space into the city of Pittsburg postponed its decision.  

The Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission met Wednesday to consider approving a boundary change that would annex more than 600 acres located in the rolling hills southwest of the city of Pittsburg. The annex would allow for the 1,500-unit Faria development project by Discovery Builders Inc., an Albert Seeno-owned developer company, to move forward.
