Planning Commission Backs Housing Project Near River Park

Fresno’s planning commission has backed a housing project near the River Park area, sending a mixed-income proposal toward final council review. Supporters say the development would add needed units in a well-connected part of the city.

The plan includes a mix of price points, a feature advocates say is essential to easing Fresno’s housing shortage without displacing existing residents. Some neighbors raised questions about traffic and parking that the developer agreed to address.

City council still must weigh in before construction can proceed. Officials said the project reflects a broader push to add housing near jobs and shopping.
