The City of Clayton is seeking public input on a proposed 30-unit townhouse development at the southeast corner of Clayton Road and Peacock Creek Drive (currently a gravel lot). The 2.5-acre site is slated for four three-story multi-family buildings, each containing townhouse units with two-car garages. The project, known as the Oakhurst Townhouse Development, would be built on seven newly created parcels with access from Peacock Creek Drive via a private internal roadway. According to city planning documents, all environmental impacts identified during the review process can be reduced to less than significant levels through recommended mitigation measures. The findings are detailed in a Mitigated Negative Declaration released by the city under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The public review and comment period runs from August 15 through September 15, 2025. Written or emailed comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the closing date. Copies of the environmental document are available on the city’s website and at the Community Development Department during regular business hours. The Clayton Planning Commission is expected to consider the project at a public hearing on October 14, 2025, at City Hall, 6000 Heritage Trail. If approved, the development would move forward under a Planned Development zoning designation with a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map. City officials say community feedback will play a role in the decision-making process. Comments can be submitted to Interim Community Development Director Farhad Mortazavi at interimcdd@claytonca.gov, with “Oakhurst Townhouse Development Project” in the subject line.

UPDATE: The meeting has been rescheduled to October 28 at 7 p.m. Same location.
we need multi housing in Clayton! Built baby built.
Hahahahahahahaha…..you cant be serious????
I am dead serious. We need to build houses and apartments in Clayton so the people from Pittsburgh, Antioch can move closer to the jobs in the city, Fremont, ect. Plus we need diversity in Clayton; every time I go to Clayton for the Octoberfest or concert by the groves, I see no diversity.
Paul, it’s doubtful anyone would move from Antioch to Clayton just because they want to be closer to their work in Fremont. They’d probably move to San Ramon, Pleasanton, or even Fremont itself. And diversity is abundant at Oktoberfest and concerts in Clayton. Perhaps get your eyes checked or lay off the booze.
WOW!…..Thank you for some more “dead serious” humor! Always need that. Laughter does heal the soul you know….. I’m still chuckling. Thanks for making my day!
: )
Work? Paul you should take a drive around some of these “too far away” neighborhoods in question and see how many of them have little room for any cars to park… there are so many cars parked there already, all the time.
It isn’t just because there are a dozen people living in each house, it is also because nobody works! There isn’t a job to drive to.
Uhmm. Just because there is little or no parking, it doesn’t mean the people in the neighborhood don’t go to work. There is no correlation parking space and employment. Let me give you a counter example, in sf there is little to no parking in all the neighborhoods but the employment participation is high; in the streets where my relatives stay, there are virtually no parking space but I can assure you that the neighbors are working.
Instead, why not incentivise employers to move to Antioch where commercial buildings are already cheap and/or abundant?
Think efficient resource management. Fewer structures would need building and fewer people would need transporting.
Given such scenario, you still need to build housing in Clayton. For example, I see most people commute to the city to work for ucsf. If we relocate ucsf to Antioch/pittsburg , sure it would benefit the people in the east bay. But then people who work for UCSF and from the city has to do the commute.🤷♂️
Businesses have moved out of antioch.
West part of town south of freeway businesses include laundromat,
liquor stores and homeless. Even, Gold into Cash moved out.
.
Talked with long time manager of a business who was in process
of moving business to Pittsburg. Told me story of how Pittsburg ended
up with large shopping center west of Lowes.
An I believe him. Us verses them mentality.

Who cares if “you” see no diversity move somewhere else where your diverse heart can be fulfilled…
Diversity is hardly a strength if you don’t like the crowds in Clayton then stay the hell out of Clayton! Why should the city terraform to your whims or even care what you think?
Yes. Just what we need – turning the area more and more into the new Los Angeles. That will definitely make life better here.
Yeah Paul that’s it flood the area with low income housing and section 8 “built baby built” what does that even mean?
Once the construction is done that will end the housing crisis? If they keep changing the ADU laws maybe they can convert the garages into living units. Instead of 30, you have 90 which will end not only the housing crisis but homelessness also!
City officials say community feedback will play a role in the decision-making process.
That’s the largest load of bullony I’ve heard in a long time.
Once the silver changes hands, it’s a done deal.
Yes! Isn’t that a hoot! The only that ever ‘plays a roll’ is who’s got the most money.
If ever there was a document begging to not be read…
“The proposed project would construct four (4) multi-family residential
buildings containing 30 dwelling units. All the townhouse units would
be three stories tall, including a two-car garage” …”
.
So garages would be under dwelling units ? ? ? ? If that is the case
to what Quake magnitude are buildings designed to survive ? ? ?
Southern CA Quake aftermath photos showed many buildings above
parking pancaked down.
.
An how is it that three story buildings are in keeping with our laid back
“small town” life ? ? ?
.
How much earth moving is involved ? ? ?
How many OF THOSE 30 dwelling units will be designated for
only low LOW INCOME ?
Troll “funny” but just a troll
Excellent to hear this. I often looked at that lot. I have options coming up,
whether to buy again or not and often had my eye on townhouses in Oakhurst.
TBD. Love where I am. Do I want to buy again at this point in life?
Will see when it all comes out in the wash so-to-speak regarding properties I’m working with currently.
Just like the Olivia housing project in Clayton this asl would never be built.
And the no diversity in Clayton is exactly why we like here in Clayton!
Exactly people do not pay the rates to divesify the local population go live in a diverse city then if that is your life’s mission.
Agree and will add that diversity is NOT a strength. It never has been!
Exactly diversity never was or ever will be a strength just a box to check
That would be a big negatory… don’t become another WC
And when your EV that is under your living space catches fire while being charged in your garage………………
This property has been a Gravel Lot for 25+ years…why Build on it now ? Was it always zoned to build on or did the City Council change it ? Stop the Insanity ! Stand up to Weiner & His High Density Low Income BS
