The northwest corner of Mission Street and Laurel Street has long been home to two modest 1-story buildings housing the Food Bin natural foods store and The Herb Room. An open parking lot separates the two.
A proposal now before the city planning department would fill the lot with a 5-story multi-use building. Ground floor commercial space fronts on Mission Street, with covered parking behind, accessed from Laurel Street. 59 residential rental units stack above, on three sides of a central courtyard.
From the project website:
"On April 18th, 2023, a virtual community meeting was held by the applicant too present the proposed pre-application project (Project No. CP23-0003) and gather public feedback. For those who could not attend, below you will find the link to the recorded community meeting.

The website also shows the project application scheduled for a Planning Commission meeting on Feb. 18, 2024, but the item did not appear on the agenda either for that meeting or for the Mar. 7 meeting, so current status is unclear.
