A PROPOSED 84-UNIT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IS PLANNED FOR A CONTAMINATED BUT DESIRABLE PIECE OF PROPERTY IN SCOTTS VALLEY.
THE FORMER SITE OF “AVIZA TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATED” ON 440 KINGS VILLAGE ROAD IS THE ONLY FEDERALLY LISTED SUPERFUND SITE IN THE COUNTY, BECAUSE OF CONTAMINATED SOIL. THE ENVIORNMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WOULD OVERSEE THE CLEAN UP.
THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL COME BEFORE THE SCOTTS VALLEY PLANNING DEPARTMENT NEXT MONTH FOR A VOTE. THE CITY COUNCIL WILL HAVE THE FINAL SAY ON THE MEDIUM TO HIGH DENSITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
