BREA : Housing Project Gets Preliminary Approval
- Share via
The City Council moved ahead this week with plans for a single-family housing project in the downtown redevelopment area.
By unanimous vote, council members authorized the city to open negotiations with the Olson Co. to buy property owned by the Brea Redevelopment Agency. The 2.6-acre site is at the southeast corner of Birch Street and Poplar Avenue, next to the $7-million Brea Community Center, now under construction.
The Olson Co. proposes to build 30 single-family, small-lot homes in an early California Craftsman style. Six of the homes would be designated as affordable housing units.
