I believe he meant the large undeveloped land for sale or lease on Bishop approx across from Value Village or thereabouts ie east of the new NAPA/Swiftys build

I thought maybe all the soil on the corner of Acorn st. and Bishop was the result of soil remediation or something. But! There seems to be a foundation going in.

Talks about it here but it appears to only be a sidewalk application, nothing about building application.

As I mentioned on the previous page, there was an item that went before PAC a couple of years ago for a single story office building at this location. Something is definitely being built here.

Isn't that the area someone wanted to build some apartments but the PAC squashed it, partly because it's not really a walkable area?

Considering the retail node on the corner, and the residential across the street, putting in sidewalks in that area makes sense and would probably make adding a residential component in there more feasible.

No, that was beside Popeye's.

Residential is now allowed as-of-right there due to the new workforce housing zoning.
